Abstract

Emotion Regulation (ER) has been identified as a factor that may be related to psychopathological symptoms. However, evidence about the relationship between ER and psychopathological symptoms is still unspecific. Moreover, although the ability of distress tolerance (DT) has gained increasing attention, it has not yet been sufficiently explored in relation to specific psychopathological symptoms. The aim of the study was to analyze the role of different specific ER mechanisms on various psychopathological symptoms, with particular emphasis on the role of DT. To do so, a correlational study was carried out. A total of 128 university students between 18 and 44 years old (mean age = 26.7, SD = 6.14) answered the Distress Tolerance Scale, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale and the Symptom Check List 90-Revised. For each psychopathological symptom (and for general distress), linear regression were applied. All models were statistically significant with differences in the amount of explained variance and in the predictors. DT predicted symptoms of depression, anxiety, obsessions and compulsions and general distress. The study highlights the importance of the different mechanisms of ER in each specific psychopathological symptom and their implications for mental health.

情绪调节困难、痛苦容忍与心理病理症状

情绪调节（ER）已被确定为可能与精神病理学症状有关的因素。然而，关于ER与精神病理学症状之间关系的证据仍然不明确。此外，尽管痛苦耐受能力（DT）越来越受到关注，但它与特定的精神病理学症状之间的关系尚未得到充分的探讨。本研究的目的是分析不同特异性ER机制在各种精神病理学症状中的作用，特别强调DT的作用。为此，进行了相关研究。共有128名年龄在18至44岁之间的大学生（平均年龄=26.7，SD=6.14）回答了痛苦容忍量表、情绪调节困难量表和症状检查表90修订版。对于每一种精神病理学症状（以及一般痛苦），均采用线性回归。所有模型都具有统计学意义，解释的方差和预测因子存在差异。DT预测了抑郁、焦虑、强迫症和一般痛苦的症状。该研究强调了ER在每种特定精神病理学症状中的不同机制的重要性及其对心理健康的影响。
