We examined the relationship between self-efficacy and three behaviours that can serve similar affect-regulatory functions (self-injury, risky alcohol use, disordered eating). We proposed that general self-efficacy would be indirectly related to each outcome, operating via emotion regulatory self-efficacy and behaviour-specific self-efficacy. A path analysis confirmed this proposal in a sample of 490 university students, who completed questionnaires assessing the constructs of interest. Emotion regulatory self-efficacy was a salient predictor of self-injury and disordered eating, evidencing both direct and indirect relationships. Self-efficacy to resist each of the behaviours was uniquely related to its target behaviour. We discuss these findings, outlining the implications for a theoretical understanding of emotion-regulatory behaviours, and offer suggestions for prevention and early intervention initiatives.
我们研究了自我效能感与三种具有相似情感调节功能的行为之间的关系(自我伤害、危险饮酒、饮食失调)。我们提出,一般自我效能感通过情绪调节自我效能感和行为特定自我效能感与每种结果呈间接相关。在一个由 490 名大学生组成的样本中,通过问卷调查评估了感兴趣的结构,路径分析证实了这一假设。情绪调节自我效能感是自我伤害和饮食失调的重要预测因素,表现出直接和间接关系。抵制每种行为的自我效能感与其目标行为具有独特的关系。我们讨论了这些发现,概述了对情绪调节行为理论理解的意义,并为预防和早期干预措施提供了建议。
