A longitudinal examination of emotion regulation: pathways to anxiety and depressive symptoms in urban minority youth

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Difficulty regulating emotions is a symptom of many psychological disorders yet little research has examined the longitudinal relations of particular facets of emotion regulation (ER) that may differentiate between internalizing symptoms. METHOD: = 9.65) and caregivers (n = 74; 87.1% mothers) participated in a 2-year longitudinal study. Children reported on their ER, and children and caregivers on symptomatology. RESULTS: Different patterns, varying by emotion facet (dysregulation, inhibition, coping) and type (anger, sadness, worry), predicted anxiety and depression symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Anxiety and depression are entities with distinct patterns of emotion-related antecedents.
