This study examines the moderating role of interdependent self-construal between mindfulness, emotion regulation, and psychological health, with emotion regulation as a mediator. A total of 187 Chinese emerging adults completed self-reported measures, including mindfulness, cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression, depressive symptoms, life satisfaction, and interdependent self-construal. Our findings indicate moderation effects of interdependent self-construal between (i) mindfulness and cognitive reappraisal, (ii) cognitive reappraisal and life satisfaction, (iii) expressive suppression and life satisfaction, and (iv) expressive suppression and depressive symptoms. Based on bootstrapping and path analyses, cognitive reappraisal mediated the relation between mindfulness and psychological health, including depressive symptoms and life satisfaction, regardless of the level of interdependent self-construal. In addition, mindfulness was not related to expressive suppression, regardless of the level of interdependent self-construal. Based on these findings, researchers and practitioners should pay attention to the differential associations between mindfulness, emotion regulation strategies, and psychological outcomes as a function of interdependent self-construal during emerging adulthood.
本研究考察了相互依存的自我构念在正念、情绪调节和心理健康之间的调节作用，其中情绪调节是一个中介变量。共有 187 名中国成年早期被试完成了自我报告的测量，包括正念、认知重评、表达抑制、抑郁症状、生活满意度和相互依存的自我构念。我们的研究结果表明，相互依存的自我构念在以下方面存在调节作用：（i）正念和认知重评之间，（ii）认知重评和生活满意度之间，（iii）表达抑制和生活满意度之间，以及（iv）表达抑制和抑郁症状之间。基于 bootstrap 和路径分析，认知重评在正念和心理健康（包括抑郁症状和生活满意度）之间起中介作用，而与相互依存的自我构念水平无关。此外，无论相互依存的自我构念水平如何，正念都与表达抑制无关。基于这些发现，研究人员和从业者应该注意到，在成年早期，正念、情绪调节策略和心理结果之间的关联存在差异，这取决于相互依存的自我构念。
