To explore the latent categories of cognitive emotion regulation strategies among middle school students in China and their effect on depressive symptoms.
The 535 (13.51 ± 0.93 years; 55.33 % males, 44.67 % females) middle school students from southwestern regions in China were recruited using Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire-Chinese Version and Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Correlation analysis, latent profile analysis and Bolck-Croon-Hagenaars (BCH) analysis were used to explore the latent categories of cognitive emotion regulation strategies and to analyze the relationship between latent categories and depressive symptoms.
The depressive symptoms prevalence among middle school students was 30.47 %. There are four latent types of cognitive emotion regulation strategies: weak cognitive emotion regulation strategy (Weak CERS), high positive cognitive emotion regulation strategy (High Positive CERS), moderate and slightly negative cognitive emotion regulation strategy (Moderate and Slightly negative CERS) and high negative cognitive emotion regulation strategy (High Negative CERS). The BCH analysis shows the scores of depressive symptoms are significantly different among four profiles of CERQ-C (Wald χ = 173.04, p < 0.001) and the scores of depressive symptoms are obviously different between the four profiles (Wald χ = 4.67-171.37, ps < 0.05) except between profile 2 and 3 (Wald χ = 1.376, p > 0.05).
The level of depressive symptoms among middle school students from southwestern regions in China is relatively high, and their cognitive emotion regulation strategies can be divided into four types, having significant effects on depressive symptoms.
探讨中国中学生认知情绪调节策略的潜在类别及其对抑郁症状的影响。
采用中文版认知情绪调节问卷和患者健康问卷-9，招募了来自中国西南地区的535名中学生（年龄13.51±0.93岁；男生占55.33%，女生占44.67%）。运用相关分析、潜在剖面分析和Bolck-Croon-Hagenaars（BCH）分析来探索认知情绪调节策略的潜在类别，并分析潜在类别与抑郁症状之间的关系。
中学生抑郁症状的患病率为30.47%。认知情绪调节策略有四种潜在类型：弱认知情绪调节策略（Weak CERS）、高积极认知情绪调节策略（High Positive CERS）、中度和轻度消极认知情绪调节策略（Moderate and Slightly negative CERS）和高消极认知情绪调节策略（High Negative CERS）。BCH分析显示，CERQ-C的四个剖面中抑郁症状得分存在显著差异（Wald χ=173.04，p<0.001），除剖面2和剖面3之间外（Wald χ=1.376，p>0.05），四个剖面之间的抑郁症状得分也存在明显差异（Wald χ=4.67-171.37，ps<0.05）。
中国西南地区中学生的抑郁症状水平相对较高，其认知情绪调节策略可分为四种类型，对抑郁症状有显著影响。
