Abstract

The purpose of the study is to explain the dual mediating effects of difficulty in emotional differentiation and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation, as noted and identified in relationship between self-absorption and interpersonal problems. There were 300 middle school students as participants in the study who completed the testing which was the Scale for Dispositional Self-Focused Attention in Social situation, Korean Version of Emotional Awareness Questionnaire for adolescents, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and short form of the Korea Inventory of Interpersonal Problem: Circumplex Scales. Accordingly, the participants who did not report questionnaire faithfully excluded from the analyses, and thus the path analysis was performed in order to find out the mediating effects with the 231 participants. According to the results, every path was noted to have been significant, except for one which was noted in relation to the maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation and interpersonal problems. Chiefly, the results showed that the difficulty in emotional differentiation is partially mediated not only through the relation of self-absorption and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation, but also is seen in the relation of self-absorption and interpersonal problems. Lastly, the implications of this study were discussed, and suggestions for further research were proposed.
