Abstract in brief

Metaemotions are emotions that happen in response to other emotions, like feeling guilty about being angry, but there's still a lot we don't understand about them.
The study found that about half of the participants experienced metaemotions, especially negative ones, roughly twice a week, and increased attention to emotions was linked to more metaemotional experiences.
Higher depression levels were associated with more frequent negative metaemotions, suggesting that how people react to their own emotions might play a role in depression and emotional regulation.]
