Description

Temperamental self-regulatory capacities require effortful control, which is defined as the efficiency of excutive attention. The present study examined the relationships among effortful control, emotion regulation, and mental health. The participants, 476 undergraduates, completed a packet of questionnaires measuring effortful control, emotion regulation, and mental health. The effortful control scale was composed of three subscales: inhibitory control, activation control, and attention control. The emotion regulation scale composed two subscales: reappraisal and suppression. Mental health was assessed by the depression tendency scale and fulfillment scale. Structural equation modeling indicated that effortful control was directly and indirectly associated with better mental health; the association was mediated by high levels of emotion regulation. These results suggest that effortful control plays important roles in the effectiveness of emotion regulation and promotion of mental health.
