Contact Lea Hildebrandt ([leakhildebrandt@gmail.com][1]) or Jordan Wagge ([crep.psych@gmail.com][2]) with questions or problems. **Abstract** Emotion regulation is central to psychological health, and several emotion-regulation strategies have been identified as beneficial. However, new theorizing suggests the benefits of emotion regulation should depend on its context. One important contextual moderator might be socioeconomic status (SES), because SES powerfully shapes people’s ecology: lower SES affords less control over one’s environment and thus, the ability to self-regulate should be particularly important. Accordingly, effectively regulating one’s emotions (e.g., using cognitive reappraisal) could be more beneficial in lower (vs. higher) SES contexts. Three studies (N=429) tested whether SES moderates the link between cognitive reappraisal ability (CRA; measured with surveys and in the laboratory) and depression. Each study and a meta-analysis of the three studies revealed that CRA was associated with less depression for lower-SES but not higher-SES individuals. Thus, CRA may be uniquely beneficial in lower-SES contexts. More broadly, the effects of emotion regulation depend upon the ecology within which it is used. **Notes from the author** The authors sent the specific questions used for the CRA and the CES-D. Furthermore, they noted the following: "One thought to consider is that the measure of SES - income - might not necessarily translate. According to the conceptual model, the effect was due to the extent to which income is associated with controllability of stressors. And so it’s important to pay attention to the range of incomes, and in particular avoid restricted range (especially at the lower range)." [Note from CREP Team: Please include the original question as is in your replication. You may add an additional question that is more adjusted to your sample at the very end of your survey. In this case, please emphasize in your wiki that your replication is a direct+ replication.] **Notes from the CREP Team** The CRA and CES-D are now added to the materials. Please be aware that the previous version of the materials contained wrong CES-D questions. **Materials** The questions, response options and scoring instructions can be found [here][3]. The file contains questions about - the Socioeconomic Status (SES) - the Cognitive Reappraisal Ability (CRA) - the Habitual Cognitive Reappraisal Use (ERQ subscale) - Depressive Symptoms (CES-D) - Life Stress (PSS-4) The full Troy et al.
