This study examined the influence of working memory capacity(WMC) on emotion regulation. The results revealed that participants with higher WMC were motivated to regulate their emotions when they were in a low task situation. Participants with higher WMC could use the reappraisal emotion regulation strategy more effectively than participants with lower WMC. It is suggested that participants with lower WMC can reduce their anger through unconscious emotion regulation. These results indicate the importance of studying emotion regulation from the view-point of working memory capacity
