Abstract

Individual differences play a crucial role in addressing the issue of emotion regulation deficits among young adults. Although some research has been carried out on individual differences in emotion regulation, no single study has attempted to consider the role of time perspectives in emotion regulation deficits. This study aims to explain the associations between emotion regulation deficits and five-time perspectives, which are conceptualized as temporally based beliefs. Data was collected from a sample of 192 college students (146 females, 46 males) with a mean age of 20.46. The best-fitting model showed that Past-Negative, Past-Positive, Present-Fatalistic, and Future time perspectives explained directly 41% of the variation in emotion regulation deficits. Based on standard coefficients, the Past-Negative time profile was the strongest predictor of emotion regulation deficits. Maladaptive time perspectives like Past-Negative and Present-Fatalistic predicted emotion regulation negatively, and adaptive ones like Future and Past-Positive predicted emotion regulation positively. Time perspectives may structure an individual’s emotional regulation deficits. The findings seem to be an essential contribution to the field of time perspective and emotion regulation.

Özet

Genç yetişkinler arasındaki bireysel farklılıklar, duygu düzenlemedeki bozukluklar konusunun ele alınmasında önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Duygu düzenleme alanındaki bireysel farklılıklar üzerine bazı araştırmalar yapılmış olmasına rağmen, zaman perspektiflerinin duygu düzenleme eksikliklerindeki rolünü göz önünde bulundurmaya çalışan tek bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışma, duygu düzenleme eksiklikleri ile zaman odaklı inançlar olarak tanımlanan beş zaman perspektifi arasındaki ilişkileri açıklamayı amaçlamaktadır. Veriler, yaş ortalaması 20.46 olan 192 üniversite öğrencisinden (146 kız, 46 erkek) toplanmıştır. En uygun model, Geçmiş-Olumsuz, Geçmiş-Olumlu, Şimdi-Kaderci ve Gelecek zaman perspektiflerinin duygu düzenleme eksikliklerindeki değişimin % 41'ini doğrudan açıkladığını göstermiştir. Standart katsayılara dayanarak, Geçmiş-Olumsuz zaman profilinin, duygu düzenleme eksikliklerinin en güçlü göstergesi olduğu gösterilmiştir. Geçmiş- Olumsuz ve ŞimdiKaderci gibi uyuma yönelik olmayan zaman perspektifleri, duygusal düzenlemeyi negatif yönde; Geçmiş-Olumlu ve Gelecek gibi uyumlu olan perspektifleri ise duygu düzenlemeyi pozitif yönde yordamaktadır. Bu çalışma, zaman perspektifinin, bir bireyin duygusal düzenleme eksikliklerini yapılandırmada rol aldığını göstermiştir.Bulgular, bu çalışmanın zaman perspektifi ve duygu düzenleme alanına önemli bir katkı sağladığını göstermektedir.
