Daily hassles and depression in individuals with cognitive vulnerability to depression: The mediating role of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies

The objective of the current study was to test the hypothesis that maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies mediates the relationship between daily hassles and depression in individuals with cognitive vulnerability to depression. A total of 175 university students with cognitive vulnerability to depression were recruited (weakest-link approach to identify the participants with cognitive vulnerability from 1017 university students) and 842 individuals with no cognitive vulnerability completed questionnaires measuring cognitive emotion regulation strategies (Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire), depression (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale), and daily hassles (General Social and Academic Hassles Scale for Students). Results using structural equation modeling showed that the total scores of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies partially mediated the relationship between daily hassles and depression in the sample of individuals with cognitive vulnerability but not in the sample of individuals with no cognitive vulnerability. Moreover, in the sample of individuals with cognitive vulnerability, the catastrophizing of the maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategy partially mediated the relationship between daily hassles and depression. In contrast, the others of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies did not mediate the influence of daily hassles on depression.
