Abstract
This study examined the relationships among adolescents’ emotion regulation strategies (suppression and cognitive reappraisal), self-concept, and internalising problems using structural equation modelling.
The sample consisted of 438 early adolescents (13- to 15-years-old) in Taiwan, including 215 boys and 223 girls.
For both boys and girls, suppression was negatively associated, and cognitive reappraisal was positively associated with self-concept. Self-concept negatively predicted adolescents’ internalising problems.
The findings support the hypothesis that self-concept mediates the relationship between emotion regulation and internalising problems. These findings support generalization of one part of Cicchetti’s and Toth’s model of the development of internalizing problems to an Asian culture.
