ABSTRACT

The current study investigated the impact of emotional abuse on self-concealment in a sample of 126 college students currently in a romantic heterosexual relationship. This study also examined whether emotion dysregulation moderated the relationship between emotional abuse and self-concealment. Results showed emotion dysregulation moderated the relationship between emotional abuse and self-concealment. When emotion dysregulation was low, being in an emotionally abusive relationship was positively associated with self-concealment. When emotion dysregulation was high, emotional abuse was not associated with self-concealment. In the context of intimate partner emotional abuse, this study suggests self-concealment is an attempt to cope with unwanted internal events, which may be especially salient among people with low emotion dysregulation.

摘要

目前的研究调查了目前处于浪漫异性恋关系中的 126 名大学生样本中情感虐待对自我隐瞒的影响。这项研究还检查了情绪失调是否会调节情绪虐待和自我隐瞒之间的关系。结果显示情绪失调调节了情绪虐待和自我隐瞒之间的关系。当情绪失调程度较低时，处于情绪虐待关系中与自我隐瞒呈正相关。当情绪失调程度较高时，情绪虐待与自我隐瞒无关。在亲密伴侣情感虐待的背景下，这项研究表明，自我隐瞒是一种应对不想要的内部事件的尝试，这在情绪失调程度较低的人中可能尤为突出。
