We aimed to test whether negative emotion regulation difficulties and self-compassion mediate the relationship between early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) and symptoms of psychopathology and life satisfaction.
Data were collected from 296 adults (179 females, 117 males), whose age ranged from 17 to 52 years. The mediating roles of self-compassion and negative emotion regulation were examined via Hayes' procedure (PROCESS) for multiple mediation.
Negative emotion regulation was the only mediator to psychopathological symptoms, with no additional role for self-compassion, whereas self-compassion mediated only to life satisfaction, with no additional role for negative emotion regulation.
The results provide evidence for unique mediating roles of negative emotion regulation and self-compassion, depending on the outcome variable. That helps to understand how problems that may be identified in terms of positive and negative domains are related to EMSs, and allows to put forward potential strategies within the frame of schema therapy.
我们旨在检验负性情绪调节困难和自我同情是否在早期适应不良图式（EMS）与精神病理学症状和生活满意度之间起中介作用。
数据来自 296 名成年人（179 名女性，117 名男性），年龄在 17 至 52 岁之间。通过 Hayes 的多变量中介分析程序（PROCESS）检验自我同情和负性情绪调节的中介作用。
负性情绪调节是精神病理学症状的唯一中介，自我同情没有额外作用，而自我同情仅对生活满意度起中介作用，负性情绪调节没有额外作用。
结果为负性情绪调节和自我同情的独特中介作用提供了证据，这取决于因变量。这有助于理解可能在积极和消极领域中被识别的问题与 EMS 之间的关系，并允许在图式治疗框架内提出潜在的策略。
