Abstract

The objective of the study is to examine the relationship between interpersonal emotion regulation strategies and generalized anxiety disorder, depression and psychological resilience, and then to analyze the regulating role of the psychological resilience in the effect of the interpersonal emotion regulation on the generalized anxiety and depression. 331 people with an age range of 20 to 45 years were enrolled to the study. As the data collection tool, Demographic Information Form, Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Scale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 Test, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Adult Psychological Resilience Scale-21 were used. Data analysis was performed by SPSS 26.0. The study results show that, out of interpersonal emotion regulation scale sub-dimensions, the social modeling and enhancing positive affect show statistically significant difference in terms of gender. Perspective-taking, which is one of the interpersonal emotion regulation scale sub-dimensions, shows statistically significant difference in terms of age. The “social modeling” and “enhancing positive affect” sub-dimensions of the interpersonal emotion regulation scale show a statistically significant difference in terms of education background of the participants. It was found that, out of the interpersonal emotion regulation sub-dimensions, there was a positive relationship between soothing and generalized anxiety disorder; a negative relationship between social modeling and enhancing positive affect, and depression; a positive relationship between the total score of interpersonal emotion regulation and the total score of psychological resilience. The psychological resilience does not play a regulating role in the effect of the interpersonal emotion regulation on the generalized anxiety disorder and depression.

Özet

Araştırmanın amacı, kişiler arası duygu düzenleme stratejileri ile yaygın anksiyete bozukluğu, depresyon ve psikolojik sağlamlık arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılması daha sonrasında ise kişiler arası duygu düzenlemenin yaygın anksiyete ve depresyona etkisinde psikolojik sağlamlığın düzenleyici rolünün incelenmesidir. Çalışmaya 20-45 yaş aralığında 331 kişi dahil edilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak Demografik Bilgi Formu, Kişiler Arası Duygu Düzenleme Ölçeği, Yaygın Anksiyete Bozukluğu-7 Testi, Hasta Sağlık Anketi-9, Yetişkin Psikolojik Sağlamlık Ölçeği-21 kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizi, SPSS 26.0 ile yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, kişiler arası duygu düzenleme ölçeği alt boyutlarından sosyal model alma, olumlu duyguları artırma cinsiyet bakımından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık göstermektedir. Kişiler arası duygu düzenleme ölçeği alt boyutlarından bakış açısı edinme yaş bakımından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık göstermektedir. Kişiler arası duygu düzenleme ölçeğinin sosyal model alma ve olumlu duyguları artırma alt boyutları, katılımcıların eğitim düzeyi bakımından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık göstermektedir. Kişiler arası duygu düzenleme alt boyutlarından yatıştırılma ile yaygın anksiyete bozukluğu arasında pozitif; sosyal model alma ve olumlu duyguları artırma ile depresyon arasında negatif; kişiler arası duygu düzenleme toplam puanı ile psikolojik sağlamlık toplam puanı arasında pozitif yönlü bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Kişiler arası duygu düzenlemenin yaygın anksiyete bozukluğu ve depresyona etkisinde psikolojik sağlamlığın düzenleyici rolü bulunmamaktadır.
