越来越多的实证文献表明，试图压抑、抑制或避免私人体验（例如，思想、感觉）可能是有问题的。本研究的目的是检验思想和情绪抑制在负性情感强度与急性心理困扰之间的中介作用模型。两项研究使用结构方程建模程序评估模型：一项在临床样本中，另一项在非临床样本中。样本。在两项研究中都发现了对该模型的支持，表明了它的普遍性。这些结果为以下观点提供了进一步的证据：避免或抑制认知和情感体验可能是一种特别有问题的应对方式，这种方式更有可能发生在情绪强烈的人身上，他们容易受到心理困扰。
A growing empirical literature suggests that attempts to suppress, inhibit, or avoid private experience (e.g., thoughts, feelings) can be problematic. The purpose of this study was to examine a model in which inhibition of thoughts and emotion was predicted to mediate the relationship between the trait of negative affect intensity and acute psychological distress. Two studies evaluated the model using structural equation modeling procedures: one in a clinical sample and the other in a nonclinical. sample. Support for the model was found in both studies, indicating its generalizability. These results provide further evidence for the notion that avoiding or inhibiting cognitive and emotional experience may be a particularly problematic coping style, which is more likely to be engaged in by emotionally intense individuals who are vulnerable to psychological distress.
