This study investigated emotion regulation (i.e., emotional integration, suppression and dysregulation) as a transdiagnostic process underlying adolescents' internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Basic psychological need experiences were investigated as a possible underlying mechanism explaining this association. A heterogeneous sample of non-clinical and clinically-referred adolescents reported upon emotion regulation, basic psychological needs (i.e., need satisfaction and frustration), and both internalizing and externalizing problems. Results indicated that dysfunctional emotion regulation was positively linked to internalizing as well as externalizing problems. Need frustration was a partial mediator in this relation between emotion regulation and psychopathology. The findings suggest that both emotion regulation and basic psychological needs may play a transdiagnostic role in adolescents' internalizing and externalizing symptoms.
本研究调查了情绪调节（即情绪整合、抑制和失调）作为青少年内化和外化症状潜在的跨诊断过程。研究了基本心理需求体验作为解释这种关联的一种可能潜在机制。一个由非临床和临床转介青少年组成的异质样本报告了情绪调节、基本心理需求（即需求满足和挫折）以及内化和外化问题。结果表明，功能失调的情绪调节与内化和外化问题呈正相关。需求挫折是情绪调节与精神病理学之间这种关系的部分中介因素。研究结果表明，情绪调节和基本心理需求可能在青少年内化和外化症状中都发挥跨诊断作用。
