Background: Emotions have been emphasized in many cognitive and behavioral theories and in some cases play an important role in the development of psychological problems. However, research has overlooked the common and unique role of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies in predicting emotional problems. Aims: To investigate the common and unique role of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies in predicting nursing students' emotional problems. Method: This was a descriptive correlational study. The statistical population consisted of nursing undergraduate students of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in the academic year 2015-2016. 207 students were selected by simple random sampling method. Research tools include the Anxiety and Depression Symptoms Questionnaire (Watson et al., 2007) and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies (Garnefsky, Krayg and Spinhaun, 2002). Data analysis was performed by stepwise regression. Results: The results of regression coefficients for predicting single contribution of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies with regard to beta coefficients and t-value, subjective rumination, blaming others, and self-blame had a significant effect on emotional problems (P < 0/01). Interactive role results also showed that standard coefficient of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies was significant (P< 0/01). Conclusions: The higher the scores of students in maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies, the more emotional problems they have, so maladaptive cognitive regulation strategies should be considered.
