ABSTRACT

Self-critical perfectionism (SCP) is a common personality trait among young adults that is associated with high levels of depression and low emotional disclosure. We tested (1) whether negative beliefs about emotions (NBE) mediated the relationship between SCP and emotional disclosure and (2) whether NBE and emotional disclosure sequentially mediated the relationship between SCP and depression in a young adult sample (N = 322). Structural equation modelling results indicated that NBE mediated the relationship between SCP and emotional disclosure, but NBE and emotional disclosure did not sequentially mediate the relationship between SCP and depression; NBE partially mediated the relationship between SCP and depression. NBE may warrant further investigation in the context of SCP and depression among young adults.

摘要

自我批判的完美主义（SCP）是年轻人中常见的人格特质，与高水平的沮丧感和低度的情绪暴露有关。我们测试了（1）否定情绪信念（NBE）是否介导了SCP与情绪暴露之间的关系，以及（2）NBE和情绪暴露是否依次介导了SCP与抑郁症之间的关系（N = 322）。结构方程模型化结果表明，NBE介导了SCP与情绪暴露之间的关系，但NBE与情绪暴露并未顺序地介导SCP与抑郁之间的关系。NBE部分介导了SCP与抑郁症之间的关系。NBE可能需要对年轻成人中的SCP和抑郁症进行进一步调查。
