Role of resilience and emotional control in relation to mental health in people with cancer. Journal of Health Psychology, 27(1), 211-222. https://doi.org/10.1177/13591053209463581359-105310.1177/1359105320946358http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14454/1913This study explored the relationship between emotional control, resilience, and mental health in cancer. Patients with cancer were recruited (n = 170). Courtauld Scale of Emotional Control, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the General Health Questionnaire were selected. Assuming the absence of interaction among the variables, they were analyzed separately. Four groups resulted, finding statistically significant differences (F(4, 165) = 18.03; p < 0.001). High resilience and low emotional control seem to be protective attributes, and high emotional control has demonstrated to be a risk factor for mental health. Considering differences in cancer-related psychological variables could derive in personalized psychotherapeutic interventions.eng© The Author(s) 2020CancerEmotional controlEmotional expressionHealthMental healthOncologyPsycho-oncologyResiliencejournal article2024-11-151461-7277
