More and more studies suggest that mental health may be determined by processes of emotional self-regulation. Emotion regulation is a complex concept which can be explicit and implicit and includes different cognitive and behavioral processes: evaluation, modifying of emotional reaction to accomplish goals. Our research aim was to explore the use of cognitive emotional self-regulation strategies related to mental health indicators among adolescents.
The youth study was performed with a sample size of 1245 participants in Makó, in 2016. Data collection was based on self-administrated questionnaries that contained items on mental health, subjective well-being and background of sociodemographics. The data were compared on the basis of gender differences and tested by multiple linear regression analysis to map associations between the regulation strategies and mental health indicators: depression, psychosomatic symptoms, satisfaction with life.
Girls reported higher levels of depression and psychosomatic symptoms and lower satisfaction with life than boys. Significant differences were observed between boys and girls in using rumination, positive refocusing, selfblame, others-blame and putting into perspective regulation strategy. In addition the nonadaptive strategies were proved to be related to higher depression and psychosomatic symptom scores, whereas adaptive strategies to higher level of satisfaction with life in both boys and girls.
The study draws attention to the importance of cognitive emotion regulation strategies from the point of view of mental health and to explore the background factors of cognitive processes of emotional self-regulation.
越来越多的研究表明，心理健康可能由情绪自我调节过程所决定。情绪调节是一个复杂的概念，它可以是显性的和隐性的，包括不同的认知和行为过程：评估、修改情绪反应以实现目标。我们的研究目的是探讨青少年中与心理健康指标相关的认知情绪自我调节策略的使用情况。
2016年在马科对1245名参与者进行了青少年研究。数据收集基于自我管理的问卷，问卷包含心理健康、主观幸福感和社会人口统计学背景等项目。根据性别差异对数据进行比较，并通过多元线性回归分析进行检验，以描绘调节策略与心理健康指标（抑郁、身心症状、生活满意度）之间的关联。
女孩报告的抑郁和身心症状水平高于男孩，生活满意度低于男孩。在使用沉思、积极重新聚焦、自责、责备他人和从长远角度看待调节策略方面，男孩和女孩之间存在显著差异。此外，事实证明，非适应性策略与更高的抑郁和身心症状得分相关，而适应性策略与男孩和女孩更高的生活满意度水平相关。
该研究从心理健康的角度提请人们注意认知情绪调节策略的重要性，并探讨情绪自我调节认知过程的背景因素。
