Conclusions that can be drawn from the current study are that the ABM-procedure may enhance a decrease in depressive symptoms, but does not enhance the ability to use
reappraisal on a subsequent emotion regulation task. The ABM-procedure did not decrease residual symptoms of depression by enhancing the ability to use reappraisal. This leaves open the possibility to further explore the mechanisms of ABM. Excluding reappraisal as a possible mediator between ABM and depressive symptoms may also be a notable contribution to this issue. More research is also needed to gain a better understanding of who could benefit more from ABM to individualize treatment of depression. Overall, the current study carries
implications that the ABM-procedure could represent a promising intervention to prevent depression recurrence due to its effects on residual symptom of depression.
