最近，人们努力更好地理解与情绪调节困难相关的结构，希望确定潜在的机制，这些机制可能是有价值的干预目标。在这一背景下，本研究报告有两个目的。首先，我们想探讨情绪调节，经验性回避和述情障碍之间的关系，通过确定是否青少年的述情障碍的测量分数升高，将报告赤字的情绪调节和经验性回避。其次，我们试图评估经验回避作为一个中介的述情障碍和情绪调节之间的关系的作用。样本（N = 64）包括从住院机构招募的青少年，其中约30%被归类为有述情障碍。本研究的结果表明，述情障碍的青少年报告赤字的情绪调节和经验回避升高。经验回避介导述情障碍和情绪调节之间的关系，表明虽然不能有效地使用语言来识别和描述情绪状态是密切相关的困难，在调节一个人的情绪，这种关系是介导的不愿意容忍令人厌恶的私人经验。本研究的局限性和优势也注意到。
Recently, efforts have been made to better understand constructs that are associated with difficulties in emotion regulation in hopes of identifying underlying mechanisms that may be valuable targets for intervention. Against this background, the present study had two aims. Firstly, we wanted to explore the relation between emotion regulation, experiential avoidance and alexithymia by determining whether adolescents with elevated scores on a measure of alexithymia would report deficits in emotion regulation and experiential avoidance. Secondly, we sought to evaluate the role of experiential avoidance as a mediator in the relation between alexithymia and emotion regulation. The sample (N = 64) consisted of adolescents recruited from an inpatient facility of which approximately 30% were classified as having alexithymia. The results of this study indicate that adolescents with alexithymia report deficits in emotion regulation and elevated experiential avoidance. Experiential avoidance mediated the relation between alexithymia and emotion regulation, indicating that while the inability to effectively use language to identify and describe emotional states is strongly correlated with difficulties in regulating one’s emotions, this relation is mediated by the unwillingness to tolerate aversive private experiences. Limitations and strengths of the present study are also noted.
