Data and data dictionary for "Links between Personality, Affective Cognition, Emotion Regulation and Affective Disorders"

Vulnerability to anxiety and depressive disorders is affected by risk and resilience factors, such as personality, use of emotion regulation strategies, and affective cognition.  Previous research has identified personality constructs best explaining variance in anxiety and depression (Lyon et al, 2020; 2021), however the mediating mechanisms are unknown.  This study aimed to investigate the mediating roles of emotion regulation strategies and affective cognition in the relationship between personality constructs and affective disorders.  Data were collected from a sample of 276 students and staff at the University of Manchester.  Measures included both broad and narrow Big Five personality constructs; COPE Inventory strategies; a dot-probe task to measure attentional biases to emotional information; both a questionnaire and a computerised cognitive to measure interpretation of emotional images; and measures of anxiety and depression.

焦虑与抑郁情绪障碍的易感性受风险及韧性因素影响，诸如个性特征、情绪调节策略的使用以及情感认知等。过往研究已识别出最佳解释焦虑与抑郁情绪变量变化的个性结构（Lyon 等人，2020；2021），然而其调节机制尚不明确。本研究旨在探讨情绪调节策略与情感认知在个性结构与情感障碍关系中的调节作用。数据来自曼彻斯特大学276名学生及教职工样本。测量指标包括广义与狭义的五大人格特质结构；COPE 清单策略；点探测任务以测量对情绪信息的注意力偏差；情感图像解释的问卷及计算机化认知测试；以及焦虑与抑郁情绪的测量。
