Abstract
Generalized expectancies about negative mood regulation and differing abilities to reflect upon and manage emotions were found to predict me asures of overall coping resource effectiveness among 115 (52% female and 48% male) undergraduate students. Findings suggest that such meta perspectives on mood are an important component of effective coping.
