The Impact of Regulatory Emotional Self-Efficacy on Adolescents’ Social Distress and Withdrawal

研究以17~25岁青少年为研究对象，采用中文版社交回避及苦恼量表，情绪调节量表和情绪调节自我效能感量表，探讨了青少年情绪调节效能感、情绪调节策略使用频率以及社交苦恼和回避之间的关系。研究结果发现，认知重评策略使用频率在表达积极情绪自我效能感与社交回避和社交苦恼之间起部分中介作用，认知重评策略在管理消极情绪自我效能感与社交回避和社交苦恼间起部分中介作用，表达抑制策略在管理消极情绪自我效能感与社交回避间起部分中介作用。研究发现，情绪调节策略使用频率在情绪调节效能感和青少年社交苦恼和社交回避之间起中介作用，不同的情绪调节策略(认知重评和表达抑制)所起的作用不同。 This study examined the relationship between regulatory emotional self-efficacy, usage frequency of emotion regulation strategies, and social distress and avoidance in 17- to 25-year-old. Social Avoidance and Distress Scale, Emotion Regulation Scale, and Regulatory Emotional Self-efficacy Scale were used. Findings revealed that the usage frequency of the cognitive reappraisal strategy had a partial mediating effect on perceived self-efficacy in expressing positive effect, as well as on social avoidance and distress. The cognitive reappraisal strategy partially mediated the impact of perceived self-efficacy in managing negative effect, and social avoidance and distress. Moreover, the expressive suppression strategy partially mediated the impact of perceived self-efficacy in managing negative affect and social avoidance. It was concluded that the usage frequency of emotion regulation strategies mediated regulatory emotional self-efficacy, social distress, as well as withdrawal in adolescents. In addition, the different emotion regulation strategies played different roles in this process.
