The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationships of common emotion regulation strategies (suppression and reappraisal) to self-reported fatigue and depersonalization/derealization symptoms. Specifically, we tested the moderating effect of suppression and reappraisal on the link of fatigue with depersonalization and derealization symptoms. Opposite effects were expected for both emotion regulation strategies assuming that cognitive reappraisal has an adaptive buffering effect, while suppression intensifies the association of fatigue and depersonalization/derealization experiences.
In a representative study (N = 2524) we assessed emotion regulation strategies, fatigue, depersonalization/derealization, distress, and demographic variables via questionnaires. 55.5% of the participants were female, mean age was 49.4 (SD = 18.2) years with age groups represented in comparable proportions.
In line with the assumptions, moderated regression analyses revealed an interaction effect of emotion regulation strategies and fatigue. Simple slope analyses indicated a buffering effect of cognitive reappraisal on the positive relation of fatigue with depersonalization and derealization symptoms. In contrast, suppression fosters the positive correlation of fatigue and depersonalization and derealization experiences.
Our study is limited to these two habitual emotion regulation strategies employing a cross sectional design.
Our findings provide comprehensive empirical data investigating depersonalization/derealization symptoms from the perspective of emotion regulation research. Cognitive reappraisal might help people suffering from fatigue to prevent depersonalization and derealization tendencies.
本研究旨在探讨常见情绪调节策略（抑制和重评）与自我报告的疲劳和去人格化/现实解体症状之间的关系。具体而言，我们测试了抑制和重评对疲劳与去人格化和现实解体症状之间联系的调节作用。假设认知重评具有适应性缓冲作用，而抑制则加剧疲劳与去人格化/现实解体体验的关联，因此我们预计这两种情绪调节策略会产生相反的效果。
在一项具有代表性的研究（N=2524）中，我们通过问卷调查评估了情绪调节策略、疲劳、去人格化/现实解体、困扰和人口统计学变量。55.5%的参与者为女性，平均年龄为 49.4（SD=18.2）岁，年龄组的代表性相当。
与假设一致，调节回归分析显示情绪调节策略和疲劳之间存在交互作用。简单斜率分析表明，认知重评对疲劳与去人格化和现实解体症状之间的正相关具有缓冲作用。相反，抑制促进了疲劳与去人格化和现实解体体验之间的正相关。
我们的研究仅限于这两种习惯性情绪调节策略，采用横断面设计。
我们的研究结果提供了全面的实证数据，从情绪调节研究的角度探讨了去人格化/现实解体症状。认知重评可能有助于缓解疲劳的人预防去人格化和现实解体倾向。
