Although most research conceptualizes emotion regulation as an internal process (i.e., intrapersonal), emotions are frequently regulated in an interpersonal context. Adolescents may be particularly prone to turn to peers for assistance, given that honing emotion regulation abilities is a key task and peers become increasingly important at this stage. Adolescents each participated with a self-nominated same-gender friend (total N = 186; M age = 15.68 years). All participants provided self-reports of their own emotion regulation difficulties and their engagement in interpersonal behaviors (excessive reassurance seeking, negative feedback seeking, conversational self-focus, self-disclosure) as well as their perceptions of their friends’ engagement in excessive reassurance seeking and conversational self-focus. Using a cross-lagged panel model design, the current study tested associations between adolescents’ intrapersonal emotion regulation difficulties and engagement in self- and friend-reported interpersonal emotion regulation behaviors at 3 time points over 6 months. Gender and age group differences were considered. Results evidenced concurrent and longitudinal associations between emotion regulation difficulties and self-reported maladaptive (excessive reassurance seeking, conversational self-focus, negative feedback seeking), but not adaptive (self-disclosure), interpersonal regulatory behaviors. Friends’ reports of adolescents’ excessive reassurance seeking and conversational self-focus were associated concurrently, but not longitudinally, with self-reported emotion regulation difficulties. Implications for clinical intervention with adolescents struggling to regulate emotions are discussed.

青春期的人际情绪调节困难和适应不良的人际行为

尽管大多数研究将情绪调节概念化为一个内部过程(即,内部过程),但情绪经常在人际环境中得到调节。鉴于磨练情绪调节能力是一项关键任务,并且在这个阶段同伴变得越来越重要,青少年可能特别倾向于向同伴寻求帮助。青少年每人都与一位自我提名的同性朋友一起参加(总N  = 186;M年龄 = 15.68 岁)。所有参与者都提供了关于他们自己的情绪调节困难和他们参与人际行为(过度寻求安慰、寻求负面反馈、对话式自我关注、自我表露)的自我报告,以及他们对朋友过度寻求安慰的看法和对话式的自我关注。目前的研究使用交叉滞后面板模型设计,在 6 个月内的 3 个时间点测试了青少年的人际情绪调节困难与参与自我和朋友报告的人际情绪调节行为之间的关联。考虑了性别和年龄组的差异。结果证明情绪调节困难与自我报告的适应不良(过度寻求安慰,会话自我关注,寻求负面反馈),但不是适应性(自我披露),人际调节行为。朋友们关于青少年过度寻求安慰和对话自我关注的报告与自我报告的情绪调节困难同时存在,但不是纵向关联。讨论了对努力调节情绪的青少年进行临床干预的意义。
