Adolescence is a vulnerable period for depressive and anxious symptom development, and emotion regulation (ER) may be one mechanism linking temperament-i.e., positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA)-with such symptomatology. Rumination is a common ER strategy that is traditionally assessed using self-reported questionnaires, but it would also be interesting to examine it with an Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) approach. Sixty-five adolescents ( = 14.69; = 0.82; range = 14-17 years old; 53.80% girls) completed self-report measures of temperament, ER style, depression and anxiety, and underwent an EMA to investigate rumination use. Results revealed that negative ER style and rumination use mediated the relationship between NA and depression, while only rumination use mediated the relationship between PA and depression. Moreover, NA contributed to increase anxiety, but negative ER style did not significantly mediate this relationship. Rumination use also had no effect on anxiety. This study provides further support for the relationship between temperament, ER, and internalizing problems. It seems that both a negative ER style and rumination use mediate the relationship between NA and depression whereas only NA had a significant direct effect on anxiety. Furthermore, PA buffered the effect of rumination use on depression in this study.
青春期是抑郁和焦虑症状发展的脆弱时期，情绪调节（ER）可能是将气质（即积极情绪（PA）和消极情绪（NA））与这种症状联系起来的一种机制。反刍是一种常见的 ER 策略，通常使用自我报告问卷进行评估，但用生态瞬时评估（EMA）方法来检查它也很有趣。65 名青少年（= 14.69；= 0.82；年龄范围为 14-17 岁；53.80%为女孩）完成了气质、ER 风格、抑郁和焦虑的自我报告测量，并接受了 EMA 以调查反刍的使用情况。结果表明，消极的 ER 风格和反刍使用中介了 NA 与抑郁之间的关系，而只有反刍使用中介了 PA 与抑郁之间的关系。此外，NA 导致焦虑增加，但消极的 ER 风格并没有显著中介这种关系。反刍使用对焦虑也没有影响。这项研究进一步支持了气质、ER 和内化问题之间的关系。似乎消极的 ER 风格和反刍使用都中介了 NA 与抑郁之间的关系，而只有 NA 对焦虑有显著的直接影响。此外，在这项研究中，PA 缓冲了反刍使用对抑郁的影响。
