最近的研究表明，认知自我调节技能对肥胖和生活方式行为的作用。然而，人们对情绪调节的作用知之甚少。本研究探讨情绪调节与生活方式行为的关系，并检验了一个中介模型，通过自我效能和抑郁症状来检验情绪调节的效果。对纽约布朗克斯4所公立学校的602名青少年（平均年龄12.7岁）进行了一项横断面研究。样本为58%的女性，主要是西班牙裔（74%）和美国出生（81%）。情绪调节被定义为一个潜变量，用3个指标进行评价。因变量包括水果/蔬菜摄入量、零食/垃圾食品摄入量、体力活动频率和久坐行为时间。结构方程模型研究了情绪调节与生活方式行为的关系，自我效能和抑郁症状被定义为潜在的中介。结果表明，情绪调节与水果/蔬菜摄入量和体力活动量呈正相关，且情绪调节与自我效能感有关。情绪调节与零食/垃圾食品摄入量和久坐行为有关，结构方程模型表明，通过与抑郁症状呈反比关系的途径，但这些途径仅在青春期女孩中观察到，而不是男孩。这些发现表明，青少年调节情绪的能力在与体重有关的行为中起着作用。未来的研究可能需要探索情绪的其他维度与积极健康行为的关系，并研究可能与男孩更相关的情绪调节方面。
Recent research suggests a role of cognitive self-regulation skills on obesity and lifestyle behaviors. However, very little is known about the role of emotion regulation. This study examined the association of emotion regulation with lifestyle behaviors and examined a mediational model testing effects of emotion regulation through self-efficacy and depressive symptoms. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 602 adolescents (mean age 12.7 years) from 4 public schools in the Bronx, NY. The sample was 58% female, predominantly Hispanic (74%) and US born (81%). Emotion regulation was assessed by 3 indicators and defined as a latent variable. Dependent variables included fruit/vegetable intake, snack/junk food intake, frequency of physical activity, and time spent in sedentary behaviors. Structural equation modeling examined the association of emotion regulation with lifestyle behaviors, with self-efficacy and depressive symptoms defined as potential mediators. The analyses showed that there was a positive association of emotion regulation with higher intake of fruits/vegetable and greater physical activity, which was mediated by self-efficacy. Emotion regulation was related to snack/junk food intake and sedentary behavior, and the structural equation model indicated pathways through an inverse relation to depressive symptoms, but these pathways were only observed in adolescent girls and not boys. These findings indicate that the ability to regulate emotions among adolescents has a role in weight-related behaviors. Future studies may need to explore the relation of other dimensions of emotion to positive health behaviors and study aspects of emotion regulation that may be more relevant for boys.
