Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The primary outcome is the identification of emotion-regulation strategies used by breast cancer patients according to the model of emotion-regulation (Gross, 1989, 2007, Gross & Jazaieri, 2014). The primary outcome will be assessed at all three measurement points (T1 = up to 24 months after completion of the oncological treatment, T2 = 3 months after T1, T3 = 3 months after T2).

Secondary Outcome Measures

We will investigate how fear of progression develops and which emotion-regulation strategies favor or preclude its development.
