The main objective of this study was to analyze the mediating role that meaning in life has between emotion dysregulation and depressive symptomatology in Spanish university students. Five hundred and sixty-six Spanish university students participated in the study. All of them completed the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and the Purpose in Life Test (PIL-10). A mediation model was performed to test the hypothesis that meaning in life mediates the effect of emotional dysregulation on depressive symptomatology in college students. The results show a positive, moderate, and statistically significant correlation between depression and emotional dysregulation. In addition, a negative, moderate, and statistically significant correlation was found between depression and meaning in life, and a negative, small, and statistically significant correlation between emotional dysregulation and meaning in life. Finally, the results of the mediation model evidence the role of meaning in life in different emotional dysregulation strategies and depressive symptomatology. These findings suggest the importance of incorporating the meaning in life variable in the development and implementation of prevention and treatment programs for psychological disorders.
本研究的主要目的是分析生活意义在西班牙大学生情绪调节障碍与抑郁症状之间的中介作用。566名西班牙大学生参与了该研究。他们都完成了情绪调节困难量表（DERS）、患者健康问卷（PHQ - 9）和生活目的测试（PIL - 10）。进行了一个中介模型来检验生活意义在大学生情绪调节障碍对抑郁症状的影响中起中介作用这一假设。结果显示，抑郁与情绪调节障碍之间存在正相关、中等程度且具有统计学意义。此外，抑郁与生活意义之间存在负相关、中等程度且具有统计学意义，情绪调节障碍与生活意义之间存在负相关、较小且具有统计学意义。最后，中介模型的结果证明了生活意义在不同情绪调节策略和抑郁症状中的作用。这些发现表明，在心理障碍预防和治疗项目的开发与实施中纳入生活意义变量具有重要意义。
