Expressive suppression (choice A) involves consciously inhibiting or hiding one's emotions. Research suggests that regular use of this strategy is associated with negative mental and physical health outcomes, such as increased stress, decreased life satisfaction, and higher rates of cardiovascular disease. In contrast, the other strategies listed (putting into perspective, self-distancing, and acceptance) are generally associated with more positive mental and physical health outcomes.
