Transdiagnostic frameworks posit a causal link between emotion regulation (ER) ability and psychopathology. However, there is little supporting longitudinal evidence for such frameworks. Among N = 1,262 adolescents, we examined the prospective bidirectional relationship between ER and future pathological anxiety, depression, and substance dependence symptoms in 10 assessment waves over 7 years. In Random-intercept cross-lagged panel models, within-person results do not reveal prospective lag-1 effects of either ER or symptoms. However, between-person analyses showed that dispositional ER ability at baseline predicted greater risk for developing clinically significant depression, anxiety, and substance dependence over the 7-year follow-up period. These findings provide some of the first direct evidence of prospective effects of ER on future symptom risk across affect-related disorders, and should strengthen existing claims that ER ability represents a key transdiagnostic risk factor.

青少年情绪调节与未来精神病理学：前瞻性跨诊断分析

跨诊断框架在情绪调节 (ER) 能力和精神病理学之间建立了因果关系。然而，很少有支持此类框架的纵向证据。其中N个 = 1,262 名青少年，我们在 7 年的 10 个评估波中检查了 ER 与未来病理性焦虑、抑郁和物质依赖症状之间的前瞻性双向关系。在随机截距交叉滞后面板模型中，人内结果不会揭示 ER 或症状的预期滞后 1 效应。然而，人与人之间的分析表明，基线时的性格 ER 能力预测在 7 年的随访期间出现临床上显着的抑郁、焦虑和物质依赖的风险更大。这些发现提供了 ER 对跨情感相关障碍的未来症状风险的前瞻性影响的一些第一个直接证据，并且应该加强现有的说法，即 ER 能力是一个关键的跨诊断风险因素。
