Abstract
The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that interpersonal emotion regulation leads to increased difficulties in intrapersonal emotion regulation, which in turn, leads to general psychological distress utilizing a three-wave cross-lagged panel design. Undergraduate students rated self-report measurements of interpersonal emotion regulation, difficulties in intrapersonal emotion regulation, and psychological distress at baseline (T1, N = 369) and two follow-up waves (T2 and T3), each separated by 3 months. The results indicated that although some lagged correlations between interpersonal emotion regulation strategies and difficulties in intrapersonal emotion regulation were significant, interpersonal emotion regulation strategies did not prospectively predict difficulties in intrapersonal emotion regulation. Notably, difficulties in intrapersonal emotion regulation significantly predicted psychological distress in subsequent waves. Additionally, psychological distress at T1 predicted distress at T3 through difficulties in intrapersonal emotion regulation at T2. This study is significant as it is the first to test the interpersonal emotion regulation model in a longitudinal design. However, the hypothesized pathway where interpersonal emotion regulation contributes to psychological distress through difficulties in intrapersonal emotion regulation, was not supported.
本研究采用三波交叉滞后面板设计,旨在验证人际情绪调节导致人际情绪调节困难增加,进而导致普遍心理困扰的假设。本科生在基线(T1, N = 369)和两个随访波(T2和T3)对人际情绪调节、个人情绪调节困难和心理困扰的自我报告测量进行评分,每波间隔3个月。结果表明,尽管人际情绪调节策略与个人情绪调节困难之间存在显著的滞后相关,但人际情绪调节策略并不能前瞻性地预测个人情绪调节困难。值得注意的是,个人情绪调节困难显著地预测了后续波的心理困扰。此外,T1阶段的心理困扰通过T2阶段的个人情绪调节困难预测T3阶段的困扰。本研究首次采用纵向设计对人际情绪调节模型进行检验,具有重要意义。然而,人际情绪调节通过人际情绪调节困难导致心理困扰的假设途径并未得到支持。
