这项研究区分了表达性文章中的建设性（例如计划/解决问题）和非建设性（例如担心）处理及其对抑郁症状，医疗保健访问和身体症状的影响。情感标签，成就取向和洞察力利用作为中介进行了研究。从43名医学生的论文进行编码，通过语言文本分析确定调解人。在基线和3个月时评估结局。建构性处理预测抑郁症状（=-.33，p < .05）和医疗保健访问（=-.61，p < .01）下降。非建设性处理预测增加医疗保健访问（=.42，p < .05）。高情感标签中介了建构性加工的效应，低成就定向中介了非建构性加工的效应。
This study distinguished constructive (e.g. planning/problem-solving) and unconstructive (e.g. worry) processing in expressive essays and their impact on depressive symptoms, healthcare visits, and physical symptoms. Affect labeling, achievement orientation, and insight utilization were examined as mediators. Essays from 43 medical students were coded; mediators were identified through linguistic text analysis. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and 3months. Constructive processing predicted declining depressive symptoms (=-.33, p < .05) and healthcare visits (=-.61, p < .01). Unconstructive processing predicted increasing healthcare visits (=.42, p < .05). Higher affect labeling mediated the effect of constructive processing, and lower achievement orientation mediated the effect of unconstructive processing.
