The moderating role of cognitive reappraisal in the relationship between psychological vulnerability and the depression and anxiety levels of higher education students

Psychological vulnerability has been seen to be connected to higher levels of depression and anxiety.

Psychological vulnerability has been seen to be connected to higher levels of depression and anxiety. Cognitive beliefs involving dependence, perfectionism, and the need for approval lead to becoming more vulnerable in the face of stressful situations. Studies have shown that higher education students are vulnerable to developing mental health-related problems. Guided by Gross' (1998) process model of emotional regulation, the researcher explored the use of cognitive reappraisal as a buffer in the relationship between psychological vulnerability and depression and anxiety levels. This reflects that habitual use of cognitive reappraisal could influence one’s emotional response to a situation and thus reducing the emotional impact. For this study, 533 higher education students from Luzon (ages 18 to 32) were surveyed. The students completed scales on psychological vulnerability, depression and anxiety levels, and cognitive reappraisal. The results showed that psychological vulnerability predicts both depression and anxiety levels. Likewise, cognitive reappraisal is shown to buffer the effect of psychological vulnerability on depression levels regardless of its vulnerability level. The results indicate that cognitive reappraisal skills can help higher education students who may be psychologically vulnerable to mitigate the effects of their maladaptive beliefs. 2023-04-13T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://animorepository.dlsu.edu.ph/etdm_psych/34 https://animorepository.dlsu.edu.ph/context/etdm_psych/article/1036/viewcontent/2023_Chavez_The_moderating_role_of_cognitive_reappraisal_in_the_relationship_Full_text.pdf Psychology Master's Theses English Animo Repository Anxiety in adolescence Depression in adolescence Higher Education Psychology

description Psychological vulnerability has been seen to be connected to higher levels of depression and anxiety. Cognitive beliefs involving dependence, perfectionism, and the need for approval lead to becoming more vulnerable in the face of stressful situations. Studies have shown that higher education students are vulnerable to developing mental health-related problems. Guided by Gross' (1998) process model of emotional regulation, the researcher explored the use of cognitive reappraisal as a buffer in the relationship between psychological vulnerability and depression and anxiety levels. This reflects that habitual use of cognitive reappraisal could influence one’s emotional response to a situation and thus reducing the emotional impact. For this study, 533 higher education students from Luzon (ages 18 to 32) were surveyed. The students completed scales on psychological vulnerability, depression and anxiety levels, and cognitive reappraisal. The results showed that psychological vulnerability predicts both depression and anxiety levels. Likewise, cognitive reappraisal is shown to buffer the effect of psychological vulnerability on depression levels regardless of its vulnerability level. The results indicate that cognitive reappraisal skills can help higher education students who may be psychologically vulnerable to mitigate the effects of their maladaptive beliefs.
