The purpose of this study was to examine the association between the emotional clarity and mental health (depression, anxiety, and somatization) in adolescents, and the mediating role of the emotion regulation deficits(impulse control difficulties, non-acceptance of emotions, and limited access to emotion regulation strategies) in the relationship between emotional clarity and mental health. A total of 547 middle school students in Daegu participated in the study. Participants completed questionnaires assessing emotional clarity(Trait Meta-Mood Scale), emotion regulation deficits(Korean Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale), and mental health problems(Symptom Checklist-90-Revision). Major findings of the study were the following. First of all, the emotional clarity was negatively correlated with adolescent's mental health problems and emotion regulation deficits. Emotion regulation deficits had a significant positive association with adolescent's mental health problems. Lastly, results of hierarchical multiple regression analyses examining the mediating role of emotion regulation deficits in the relationship between emotional clarity and mental health problems indicated that it played a role as a partially mediating factor in this relationship. Current findings suggest that emotional clarity and emotion regulation deficits might be important factors to consider in the evaluation and treatment of mental health problems in adolescent population.
