摘要: 区分相似情绪的能力，即所谓的情绪分化(ED)，对于抑郁和情绪调节(ER)至关重要。然而，ED是否会通过在压力情境下习惯性地使用ER策略来影响抑郁情绪仍不清楚。在本研究中，我们预测ER介导了从负面情绪分化(NED)到抑郁情绪的路径。为了验证我们的假设，实验招募了56名本科生，对他们在期末考试期间和之后的负面情绪状态进行了包含84~137份报告的经验取样问卷调查。此外，还分别对认知情绪调节策略(期末考试前最后一天)和抑郁(共3次)进行了自我报告测量。与我们的假设相符的是：1) 比较不同的时间点(期末考试期间和考试之后)时，负性情绪较高的参与者的负性情绪分化程度较低；2) NED较低的个体表现出的抑郁情绪显著较高，而这些影响是由认知情绪调节策略(灾难化得分较高和积极再评价得分较低)所中介的，但这种关系在学业考试之后消失了。我们的研究结果表明，NED可促进适应性情绪调节策略，从而缓冲生活压力事件导致的抑郁情绪。
Abstract: The ability of distinctions between similar emotions, known as emotional differentiation (ED) is essential for depression and emotion regulation (ER). However, whether ED would influence depressive feelings through the habitual use of ER strategies in stressful context remains unclear. In this study, we predicted ER mediates the pathway from NED to depressive feelings. To test our hypothesis in a measured way, 56 undergraduate participants were recruited to conduct an experience sampling questionnaires containing 84-137 reports to trace their negative emotion states during and following the final examination. In addition, self-report measures of cognitive emotion regulation strategies (the last day before final exam) and depression (totally 3 times) were conducted respectively. Consistent with our hypotheses, 1) participants with higher negative affect had lower negative emotion differentiation if we compare different time points (during vs after the final exam); 2) individual with lower NED exhibited significantly higher depressive feelings, and these effect were mediated by cognitive emotion regulation strategies (higher scores of catastrophizing and lower scores of positive reappraisal), but the relationship disappeared after academic exam. Our results highlighted that NED may facilitate adaptive ER strategy, which may buffer depressive emotions caused by stressful life events.
