Abstract: Objective To explore the mediating effect of cognitive emotion regulation strategies between emotional intelligence and loneliness. Methods 542 university students were surveyed by the Chinese version of Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire ( CERQ) ,the Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire and UCLA Loneli?ness Scale,and the correlation analysis was conducted by using SPSS17.0. The path model was set up and its path analysis was conducted by using AMOS17. 0. Results Positive cognitive emotion regulation strategies ( 28. 64 ± 5.90) were positively correlated with emotional intelligence(2.38±0.27, r=0.346, P<0.05) and negatively correla?ted with loneliness(42.29±7.88, r=0.301, P<0.05);Path analysis showed that the estimates of indirect and direct effects support the hypothesis respectively(P<0.05). Conclusion Positive cognitive emotion regulation strategies serve as partial mediators between emotional intelligence and loneliness.
