ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effects of behavioral inhibition system/activation system (BIS/BAS) and emotion regulations on depression of adolescents.Methods 800 adolescents from an university and a middle school were chosen by cluster random sampling,and were surveyed by BIS/BAS scale,Beck depression inventory(BDI),center for epidemiologic studies depression scale (CESD) and cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire (CERQ).The data were analyzed by pearson correlation,F test and multiple stepwise regression analysis.Results (1) BDI and CESD were correlated positively with BIS (r =0.39,0.41,P ＜ 0.01),self-blame,rumination,catastrophizing,blame others and perspective(r =0.19-0.50,P ＜ 0.05-0.01),and negatively with planning,reappraisal (r =-0.08-0.24,P＜0.05).(2)The scores of severe depression group were highest(15.45 ±2.57,P＜0.01) in BIS,lowest in BAS-drive(9.60 ±2.99,P＜0.01),and nonadaptive emotion regulations were used mostly,and adaptive emotion regulations were done leastly.(3) Catastrophizing,BIS,reappraisal,rumination,refocusing and self-blame explained 35％ of total variance,and catastrophizing and BIS explained the largest proportion,respectively 25％ and 4％.Conclusion BIS/BAS and emotion regulations may be important factors influencing non-clinical depression of adolescents.
