在最近的工作中，我们发现，与青少年适应不良的策略（如沉思、抑制和回避）相比，青少年适应性情绪调节策略（如重新评价和接受）与精神病理学的关联较弱（例如，Aldao & Nolen-Hoeksema，2010; Aldao，Nolen-Hoeksema，& Schweizer，2010）.在这项调查中，我们研究了适应性和适应不良的情绪调节策略在预测精神病理学症状（抑郁，焦虑和酒精问题）同时和前瞻性之间的相互作用。我们在时间1（N = 1，317）评估了社区居民样本的特质情绪调节和精神病理学症状，然后在时间2（N = 1，132）重新评估精神病理学。横截面，我们发现，适应策略和精神病理学症状之间的关系是由适应不良策略的水平调节：适应策略有一个负相关的精神病理学症状，只有在高水平的适应不良策略。与此相反，适应性策略没有表现出前瞻性的关系，无论是单独的精神病理学症状或与适应不良策略的相互作用。我们讨论了这一调查的影响，为今后的工作的背景因素部署的情绪调节策略。
In recent work, we showed that putatively adaptive emotion regulation strategies, such as reappraisal and acceptance, have a weaker association with psychopathology than putatively maladaptive strategies, such as rumination, suppression, and avoidance (e.g., Aldao & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2010; Aldao, Nolen-Hoeksema, & Schweizer, 2010). In this investigation, we examined the interaction between adaptive and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies in the prediction of psychopathology symptoms (depression, anxiety, and alcohol problems) concurrently and prospectively. We assessed trait emotion regulation and psychopathology symptoms in a sample of community residents at Time 1 (N = 1,317) and then reassessed psychopathology at Time 2 (N = 1,132). Cross-sectionally, we found that the relationship between adaptive strategies and psychopathology symptoms was moderated by levels of maladaptive strategies: adaptive strategies had a negative association with psychopathology symptoms only at high levels of maladaptive strategies. In contrast, adaptive strategies showed no prospective relationship to psychopathology symptoms either alone or in interaction with maladaptive strategies. We discuss the implications of this investigation for future work on the contextual factors surrounding the deployment of emotion regulation strategies.
