Mental health professionals pay particular attention to adolescents, as many psychiatric disorders begin at this age, and the mental state of adolescents has been deteriorating worldwide in the last decade. Based on previous international research, the ability to regulate negative emotions and mentalization - that is, the ability to identify the thoughts and emotions behind one's own and others' behaviour - mediate the negative effects of attachment difficulties experienced in close relationships on the quality of life. This relationship has not yet been investigated among Hungarian adolescents. Adolescent events can have a long-term effect on a person's mental health, so it is very important to examine the factors that influence the quality of life. This research aimed to examine the relationship between attachment, mentalization, emotion regulation and quality of life among adolescents between 14 and 18 years of age.
In our research, 141 adolescents filled out the Experiences in Close Relationships questionnaire, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, the Reflective Functioning Questionnaire and the Quality of Life Scale after informed consent. We tested two mediator models, in which emotion regulation and mentalization were the mediating variables in the relationship between attachment difficulties and quality of life.
In our analyses, attachment difficulties and emotion regulation problems also predicted a reduced quality of life. Attachment problems also reduce the quality of life of young people through emotional regulation difficulties. Our results suggest that adolescents' emotion regulation has a prominent role in their quality of life in addition to attachment styles.
To improve the quality of life among adolescents, we recommend using techniques that develop emotion regulation.
心理健康专业人士特别关注青少年,因为许多精神疾病始于这个年龄段,且在过去十年里,青少年的心理状态在全球范围内一直在恶化。基于以往的国际研究,调节负面情绪的能力和心理化能力——即识别自己和他人行为背后的思想和情感的能力——调节了亲密关系中经历的依恋困难对生活质量的负面影响。匈牙利青少年中尚未对这种关系进行研究。青少年时期的经历会对一个人的心理健康产生长期影响,因此研究影响生活质量的因素非常重要。本研究旨在探讨14至18岁青少年的依恋、心理化、情绪调节与生活质量之间的关系。
在我们的研究中,141名青少年在获得知情同意后填写了《亲密关系经历问卷》《情绪调节困难量表》《反思功能问卷》和《生活质量量表》。我们测试了两个中介模型,其中情绪调节和心理化是依恋困难与生活质量之间关系的中介变量。
在我们的分析中,依恋困难和情绪调节问题也预示着生活质量的降低。依恋问题也通过情绪调节困难降低了年轻人的生活质量。我们的结果表明,除了依恋风格外,青少年的情绪调节在其生活质量中也起着重要作用。
为了提高青少年的生活质量,我们建议使用培养情绪调节的技巧。
