Abstract
This paper analyzes the relationship between emotion regulation modes and three dimensions of subjective well-being, from two models: a prediction model and another mediation involving the indirect effects of autonomy and environment mastery. The instrument of the study included three scales, one to evaluate two methods of emotional regulation (up regulation and down regulation), another to evaluate three dimensions of subjective well-being (positive affect, negative affect, life satisfaction) and another to assess two components of psychological well-being (autonomy, environmental mastery). Also included in the survey questions to characterize the sample. Participated in the survey 231 Brazilians. The results indicated that the modes of emotional regulation were able to predict the levels of autonomy and environment mastery. The mediation model indicated that the autonomy alone was capable of mediating the relationship between modes of emotion regulation and dimensions of subjective well-being.
