Emotional competence, emotion regulation, mindfulness and acceptance have all been strongly associated to emotional disorders and psychological well-being in multiple studies. However little research has compared the unique predictive ability of these different constructs. We hypothesised that they will all share a large proportion of common variance and that when compared to the broader constructs emotional competence, emotion regulation and mindfulness, acceptance alone would predict a larger proportion of unique variance METHODS: 228 participants from a community sample completed anonymously measures of anxiety, depression, happiness, acceptance, mindfulness, emotional competence and emotion regulation. We then ran multiple regressions to assess and compare the predictive ability of these different constructs.
For measures of psychological distress, the acceptance measure uniquely accounted for between 4 and 30 times the variance that the emotional competence, emotion regulation and mindfulness measures did.
These results are based on cross-sectional designs and non-clinical samples, longitudinal and experimental studies as clinical samples may be useful in order to assess the potential protective power of acceptance over time. Another limitation is the use of self-report questionnaires.
Results confirmed our hypothesis, supporting the research on the importance of acceptance as a central factor in the understanding of the onset and maintenance of emotional disorders.
情绪能力、情绪调节、正念和接纳在多项研究中都与情绪障碍和心理健康密切相关。然而，很少有研究比较这些不同结构的独特预测能力。我们假设它们将共享大量共同的方差，并且与更广泛的结构相比，情绪能力、情绪调节和正念，只有接纳可以预测更大比例的独特方差。
来自社区样本的 228 名参与者匿名完成了焦虑、抑郁、幸福、接纳、正念、情绪能力和情绪调节的测量。然后，我们进行了多次回归分析，以评估和比较这些不同结构的预测能力。
对于心理困扰的测量，接纳测量独特地解释了情绪能力、情绪调节和正念测量所解释的方差的 4 到 30 倍之间。
这些结果基于横断面设计和非临床样本，纵向和实验研究以及临床样本可能是有用的，以便评估接纳随着时间的推移的潜在保护作用。另一个限制是使用自我报告问卷。
结果证实了我们的假设，支持了接纳作为理解情绪障碍发生和维持的核心因素的重要性的研究。
