Effect of different emotional regulation strategies on anxiety in military personnel serving in high-altitude regions: a cross-lagged analysis
① 纳入协变量后情绪调节方式和4个因子与状态、特质焦虑的模型拟合均分别可以接受(CFI=0.942、0.959、0.961、0.929、0.956,TLI=0.933、0.952、0.955、0.918、0.949,RMSEA=0.059、0.051、0.050、0.064、0.055)。②情绪调节方式对次年状态、特质焦虑有显著负向预测效应(
To study the effect of different emotional regulation strategies on anxiety and the factors contributing to anxiety in military personnel serving in high-altitude regions.
Methods
2
Using State-Trait Anxiety Inquiry (STAI) and Armymen Emotional Regulation Types Questionnaire (AERTQ)
we conducted 2 groups assessments of the military personnel serving in high-altitude regions along the Qinghai-Tibet Supply Line in August
2016 (600 subjects) and in August
2017 (584 subjects) and collected the demographic and environmental data from the participants. The temporal variations of the effects of emotional regulation strategies and the 4 factors (strengthened attention
emotional appeal
self-consolation and behavioral inhibition) on anxiety were analyzed using a cross-lagged regression model
which included the demographic data and environmental factors to examine their effects on the changes of anxiety emotion. The acceptable criteria for model fit index were TLI>0.9
CFI>0.9
and RMSEA < 0.08.
Results
2
① After inclusion of the covariates
the model fit indices of emotional regulation and its 4 factors with state anxiety and trait anxiety were acceptable (CFI=0.942
0.959
0.961
0.929
0.956; TLI=0.933
0.952
0.955
0.918
0.949; RMSEA=0.059
0.051
0.050
0.064
0.055). ②Emotional regulation strategies had significant negative predictive effect on state and trait anxiety (
P
<
0.05) in the next year
but not vice versa (
P
>
0.05). ③Strengthened attention had a significant positive predictive effect on state and trait anxiety (
P
<
0.01)
while emotional appeal and self-consolation had significant negative predictive effects (
P
<
0.01); behavioral inhibition had no effect on state and trait anxiety (
P
>
0.05). State and trait anxiety had no predictive effects on the 4 dimensions of emotional regulation (
P
>
0.05). ④State anxiety showed a significant negative growth with time (
P
<
0.01)
and trait anxiety and emotional regulation strategies showed no obvious changes with time (
P
>
0.05). ⑤Educational level had negative effects on state anxiety in models that included emotional regulation
strengthened attention
emotional appeal
self-consolation and behavioral inhibition (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01). Environmental adaptation had negative effects on state anxiety (
P
<
0.01) and trait anxiety (
P
<
0.01
P
<
0.05) in the 5 models.
Conclusion
2
Educational level and environmental adaptation are correlated with anxiety in military personnel serving in high-altitude regions. Emotional regulation strategies can significantly affect the growth of anxiety
and during psychological interventions
emotional appeal and self-consolation
but not strengthened attention and behavioral inhibition
