Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the differences in emotion regulation according to age from adolescence to adulthood focusing on the emotion dysregulation and the emotion regulation strategies. For this purpose, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and Emotion Regulation Strategy Questionnaire (ERSQ) were implemented to adolecents and adults aged 13~59 years. The main results were as follows. First, linear regression analysis indicated that emotion dysregulation decreased progressively with age. Second, hierarchical multiple regression showed that maladaptive emotion regulation strategies decreased and adaptive emotion regulation strategies increased significantly with age. Third, among adaptive strategies only approaching strategies increased significantly with age but distractive strategies and support-seeking strategies showed no significant change. Fourth, cognitive and experiential strategies among cognitive, experiential and behavioral strategies showed no significant change with age but behavioral strategies showed significant age effect. Finally, the implications and limitations of the study and suggestions for future research are discussed.
