Although past research has provided important information about the relationship between language use and mental health in the period of adolescence, the role of intervening variables in this association has been seriously neglected. The aim of the present study was to illuminate the association between language use (operationalized by "the gap between experience and language--GAP") and mental health (e.g., adjustment and depression, with the mediator role of emotion regulation). Three-hundred-and-seventy-four adolescents (220 female, 154 male; 16.08 mean age) participated in the study. The results provided support for the mediator role of emotion regulation in the relationship between GAP and mental health. Moreover, it was shown that the relationship between emotion regulation and depression was mediated by adjustment.
虽然过去的研究已经提供了关于语言使用与青少年时期心理健康之间关系的重要信息，但该关联中干预变量的作用却被严重忽视。本研究的目的是阐明语言使用（通过“经验与语言之间的差距——GAP”来操作）与心理健康（例如，情绪调节的调整和抑郁）之间的关系。374 名青少年（220 名女性，154 名男性；平均年龄 16.08 岁）参与了这项研究。结果支持了情绪调节在 GAP 与心理健康之间关系中的中介作用。此外，还表明情绪调节与抑郁之间的关系是通过调整来介导的。
