Previous studies indicated that the disclosure of difficult experiences would promote the use of a cognitive reappraisal strategy, which would lead to an effective emotional regulation strategy to alleviate test anxiety. However, it remains unclear that emotional regulation strategies other than the cognitive reappraisal would be used when people disclose difficult experiences and test anxiety. The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship of emotional regulation strategies, disclosure of difficult experiences and test anxiety. We targeted four adaptive strategies: a cognitive reappraisal, refocusing on planning, putting into perspective, and distraction. The participants were four-hundred adults and were asked to answer the questionnaire about the disclosure, test anxieties, and emotional regulation strategies. First, the results of Pearson’s correlation coefficient indicated the negative relationship between the disclosure score and test anxiety score. Second, the results of correlation analysis showed the positive relationship between difficult experiences and all emotional regulation strategies. Third, the analysis also showed the negative relationship between test anxiety score and three emotional regulation strategy scores: cognitive reappraisal, refocusing on planning and distraction. These three strategies would be effective in alleviating test anxiety. In future study, it is necessary to reconfirm our results by conducting experiments.
