Description

Trait Negative Affect (NA) and trait Positive Affect (PA) have been shown to predict utilization of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation (ER) strategies, jointly predicting depressive symptoms within college-age populations. We aimed to explore these relations within an adolescent sample. 150 adolescents (Mage = 13.056, SDage = .901, 51.3% female) completed self-report measures during a laboratory visit. Results indicated that brooding significantly mediated NA (ï¢ = 1.631, p = .004), and PA (ï¢ = -0.418, p = .038) to depressive symptoms, while dampening did not (NA: ï¢ = 0.862, p = .077; PA: ï¢ = -0.145, p = .449).
