Abstract:
Objective To examine the moderating effects of cognitive emotion regulation strategies on neuroticism and depression in college students.Methods Correlation and Hierarchical Regression Analysis were used to analyze the surveyed data collected from 824 college students.Results Among all the cognitive emotion regulation strategies,college students used the rational analysis most frequently (14.1 ± 2.57) and used the catastrophizing least frequently(7.74±2.76).After controlling the effects of depressive symptoms at T1,the standard regression coefficients of neuroticism to depression were significant (β=0.137,P＜0.001).The standard regression coefficients of positive refocusing to depression (β=-0.073,P＜0.05) and the standard regression coefficients of rumination and catastrophizing to depression were all significant(β=0.137,P＜0.001 ; β=0.143,P＜0.01).The interaction between neuroticism and catastrophizing were significant (β=0.0535,P＜0.05),whereas the interaction between neuroticism and blaming others were significant(β=-0.620,P＜0.01).Conclusion Catastrophizing positively moderates the effects of neuroticism on depression,while blaming others negatively moderates the effects of neuroticism on depression.
