ACEs, Emotion Regulation, and Mental Health

This data set was used to examine the relations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), emotion regulation, and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in a sample of college students. After recoding of gender and race/ethnicity, and removal of missing data, the final sample was 483. It was hypothesized that ACEs would be related to symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. It was also hypothesized that emotion regulation would moderate the associations of ACEs with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. The results supported the hypotheses, indicating that ACEs positive correlated with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, and emotion regulation moderated the associations of ACEs with depression, anxiety, and stress.

本数据集旨在探究大学生样本中不良童年经历（Adverse Childhood Experiences, ACEs）、情绪调节与抑郁、焦虑及压力症状之间的关联。经性别与种族/族裔变量重编码以及缺失值剔除后，最终有效样本量为483。本研究提出两项假设：其一，不良童年经历与抑郁、焦虑及压力症状存在关联；其二，情绪调节会对不良童年经历与上述心理症状之间的关联起到调节作用。研究结果验证了上述两项假设，即不良童年经历与抑郁、焦虑及压力症状呈正相关，且情绪调节对二者间的关联存在显著调节效应。如需获取本数据集的更多详细信息，可应要求提供。
