Abstract

Successful emotion regulation is a critical component of mental health, and difficulties with emotion regulation have been associated with a wide range of disorders, including anxiety and depressive disorders. However, although much is known about commonly used forms of emotion regulation such as cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression, the relative contribution of two important facets of emotion regulation—frequency and self-efficacy—is not yet clearly established. To address this issue, we conducted two studies. Study 1 employed a community sample (cross-sectional N = 431; 4- to 5-month longitudinal N = 182). Study 2 employed a clinical sample (cross-sectional N = 132). Both assessed emotion regulation frequency and self-efficacy, as well as affective outcomes (anxiety and depressive symptoms). Findings indicated cognitive reappraisal self-efficacy appears to be a relevant variable understanding negative affect outcomes, cross-sectionally, longitudinally and in the clinical sample. Our findings support the process model of emotion regulation in affective symptomatology. Implications for theory and treatment are discussed.

情绪调节频率和自我效能感：情绪症状的差异关联

成功的情绪调节是心理健康的重要组成部分，情绪调节困难与焦虑症和抑郁症等多种疾病有关。然而，尽管人们对认知再评价和表达性抑制等常用的情绪调节方式有了很多了解，但情绪调节的两个重要方面--频率和自我效能感--的相对贡献尚未明确确定。为了解决这个问题，我们进行了两项研究。研究 1 采用了社区样本（横断面样本数=431；四至五个月纵向样本数=182）。研究 2 采用的是临床样本（横断面样本数=132）。这两项研究都对情绪调节频率和自我效能以及情感结果（焦虑和抑郁症状）进行了评估。研究结果表明，无论是横向、纵向还是在临床样本中，认知再评价自我效能似乎都是了解负性情绪结果的一个相关变量。我们的研究结果支持情绪症状中的情绪调节过程模型。我们还讨论了理论和治疗的意义。

期刊介绍： Behavior Therapy is a quarterly international journal devoted to the application of the behavioral and cognitive sciences to the conceptualization, assessment, and treatment of psychopathology and related clinical problems. It is intended for mental health professionals and students from all related disciplines who wish to remain current in these areas and provides a vehicle for scientist-practitioners and clinical scientists to report the results of their original empirical research. Although the major emphasis is placed upon empirical research, methodological and theoretical papers as well as evaluative reviews of the literature will also be published. Controlled single-case designs and clinical replication series are welcome.
