本研究探讨了情感强度和应对方式和消极情绪调节预期指数之间的联系。抑郁症状的措施也包括调查影响强度和抑郁症状，并评估影响强度和应对之间的联系后，消除因抑郁症状的方差。样本153名妇女完成了情感强度测量，应对压力的情况下（CISS），负性情绪调节（NMR）量表，和贝克抑郁量表。CISS提供了任务导向应对、情绪导向应对和两种形式的回避应对（分心和社交转移）的措施，而NMR评估了对消除负面情绪能力的期望。相关分析显示，高水平的影响强度的个人报告显着更高水平的情绪导向和回避导向的应对，和更多的负面情绪调节预期。抑郁症状与情感强度、情绪导向应对、消极情绪调节预期和回避型应对中的分心成分呈正相关。偏相关分析表明，情感强度和适应不良的应对方式之间的联系仍然显着后，由于抑郁症状的方差删除，而情感强度和抑郁症状之间的联系不再显着后，由于情绪导向的应对。总体而言，研究结果提供了支持的观点，即高的影响强度与消极的应对取向时，情绪困扰的经验。结果进行了讨论的背景下，一个中介模型的影响强度，情绪导向的应对，和抑郁症的症状。
The present study examined the link between affect intensity and indices of coping styles and negative mood regulation expectancies. A measure of depressive symptoms was also included to investigate affect intensity and depressive symptoms, and to assess the link between affect intensity and coping after removing variance due to depressive symptoms. A sample of 153 women completed the Affect Intensity Measure, the Coping Inventory of Stressful Situations (CISS), the Negative Mood Regulation (NMR) Scale, and the Beck Depression Inventory. The CISS provides measures of task-oriented coping, emotion-oriented coping, and two forms of avoidant coping (distraction, and social diversion), while the NMR assesses expectancies about the ability to remove negative moods. Correlational analyses revealed that individuals with high levels of affect intensity reported significantly higher levels of emotion-oriented and avoidance-oriented coping, and more negative mood regulation expectancies. Depressive symptoms were associated positively with affect intensity, emotion-oriented coping, negative mood regulation expectancies, and the distraction component of avoidance-oriented coping. Partial correlation analyses showed that the link between affect intensity and maladaptive coping styles remained significant after removing variance due to depression symptoms, while the link between affect intensity and depression symptoms was no longer significant after removing variance due to emotion-oriented coping. Overall, the findings provide support for the view that high affect intensity is associated with a negative coping orientation when emotional distress is experienced. The results are discussed in the context of a mediational model of affect intensity, emotion-oriented coping, and symptoms of depression.
