背景本研究旨在探讨认知重评和表达抑制情绪调节策略与抑郁症状之间的相互关系，并对两者之间的关系进行描述（M-age = 32.18; SDage = 15.71）完成情绪调节问卷、患者健康问卷-9和自闭症谱系商数（AQ-Short）。个人被招募到两个全国性的研究。参与者自我报告ASD的临床诊断，并且AQ-Short评分高于建议的65分。相关和回归分析，独立样本t检验，Kruskal-Wallis，和事后Mann-Whitney U检验carried.Results：较高的抑郁水平与高抑制和低再评价使用。抑制和重新评价预测抑郁症状的方差超过ASD特征。自我报告的高抑制和低reappraisal使用的个人表达较高的抑郁症状比个人谁报告的高使用抑制和reappraisal.Conclusions：这是第一个研究ASD，旨在描述适应（reappraisal）和适应不良（抑制）策略使用之间的相互作用。我们的研究结果表明，重新评价可能是一个保护因素，心理健康的个人习惯性地使用适应不良的策略，如抑制。
Background. The aim of this study was to explore and characterize the nature of the inter-relationship between cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression emotion regulation strategies and depressive symptoms.Method: One hundred and twenty-one adolescents and adults with ASD aged 14-79 years (M-age = 32.18; SDage = 15.71) completed the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Patient Health Questionnaire -9, and Autism Spectrum Quotient-Short (AQ-Short). Individuals were recruited into two nation-wide studies. Participants self-reported a clinical diagnosis of ASD and had an AQ-Short score above the suggested cut-off of 65. Correlation and regression analyses, independent -samples t -tests, Kruskal-Wallis, and post-hoc Mann-Whitney U tests were conducted.Results: Higher depression levels were related to high suppression and low reappraisal use. Both suppression and reappraisal predicted variance in symptoms of depression over and above ASD traits. Individuals who self -reported high suppression and low reappraisal use expressed higher depressive symptoms than individuals who reported high use of both suppression and reappraisal.Conclusions: This is the first study in ASD that aimed to characterize the interactions between adaptive (reappraisal) and maladaptive (suppression) strategy use. Our results demonstrate that reappraisal may serve as a protective factor for mental health in individuals who habitually use maladaptive strategies such as suppression.
