“…Emotion regulation is defined as a mixture of conscious and unconscious processes by which individuals modulate their emotions to appropriately respond to environmental stress [1,[11][12][13][14][15] . Regulatory strategies modify either the magnitude or the type of individual emotional response to the emotioninducing event [1,16] .…”

AIM:To explore (1) intergroup differences in comfortable interpersonal distances (CIDs) and the use of coping strategies; (2) the association of these parameters with individual symptomatology; and (3) the interplay between CIDs and coping styles in patients with depression and schizophrenia. METHODS:The parameters of interest were assessed by means of standardized questionnaires: CID and Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations. Psychopathology was evaluated with the Beck Depression Inventory and Positive and Negative Syndromes Scale. ANOVA, Pearson's correlations and multiple regression analyses were used to examine relationships among the variables. RESULTS:Compared with controls, depressed patients were more distanced from family members, significant others and self-images, whereas patients with schizophrenia were less distanced from neutral and threatrelated stimuli. Distancing from self-images was mostly associated with depression severity in depressed patients, whereas distancing from hostile and threat-related stimuli with the severity of psychotic and affective symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. Both patient groups used more emotion-oriented than task-oriented and avoidance-oriented coping strategies. Self-distancing among patients with schizophrenia was positively associated with the use of the social diversion coping, implying social support seeking. CONCLUSION:Patients with depression and schizophrenia use different maladaptive emotion -regulation strategies to cope with their symptoms and related distress. Training in stress management might provide these patients with skills for more effective emotion regulation.© 2013 Baishideng Publishing Group Co., Limited.

The findings generally supported the hypotheses that the patient groups would display greater interpersonal distances from both positively and negatively valenced stimuli, and greater use of emotion-focused coping than controls. The findings suggest that patients with depression and schizophrenia use different maladaptive emotion-regulation BRIEF ARTICLE

“…Shame plays a key role in the formation of depression [11] and is significantly correlated with neuroticism [12]. Further, evidence indicates that shame mediates the association between neuroticism and anxiety in an adolescent sample [13]. However, some studies have shown that shame does not mediate the relationship between neuroticism-depression [2].…”

“…How individuals regulate their negative emotions is an essential factor in developing depression [15]. Extensive studies have shown that emotion regulation mediates the connection between neuroticism and depression [2,3,13,16]. The volume of research shows the value of examination of emotional strategies as mediators of the neuroticism-depression association; however, few studies have focused on emotion dysregulation as a broad factor or its subscales in the relationship.…”

“…However, investigations of shame have normally been centered around separating from guilt [17] but some studies have shown that these three mediators are distinct [13]. Furthermore, cognitive flexibility, shame and emotion dysregulation have been involved in various types of psychopathology such as bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder [18], anxiety [13] bulimic symptoms [19], and alcohol and drug abuse [9].…”

“…Based on previous research conducted in children, these three risk factors were chosen for investigations and considered as concurrent mediators [2,13]. Also another study examined emotion regulation as a single mediator between the relationship of neuroticism-depression [20].…”

Objectives:Cognitive flexibility, shame, and emotion regulation difficulties are considered potential mediating factors that may explain the relationship between neuroticism and depression severity. The aim of this study was to examine the mediating role of cognitive flexibility, shame and emotion dysregulation in the relationship between neuroticism and depression among university students.Methods: A total of 271 students (102 males and 169 females) were selected by cluster random sampling from University of Tehran, Allameh Tabataba'i University, and Iran University of Science & Technology. Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (CFI), Test of Self-Conscious Affect-2 (TOSCA-2), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), NEO Five-Factor Inventory, and Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) were used to collect the data. Pearson correlation, multiple regression, and path analysis were applied for data analysis.Results: It was found that neuroticism was significantly associated with depression and all three mediators (P<0.0001). Neuroticism by means of emotion dysregulation was the only significant indirect effect on depression (P<0.0001). First total mediation model had a poor fit to the data, CMIN=87, P<0.0001, CMIN/df=21.75, CFI=82, RMSEA=28.Discussion: These findings suggest that for student depression, emotion dysregulation might be important and future intervention works can examine the effects of targeting emotion dysregulation among university students with high levels of neuroticism and/or depression.

Key Points Question Does group training to build cohesion, shared purpose, and healthy coping for classes of new US Air Force Airmen reduce suicidal thoughts, depression symptoms, and occupational problems? Findings In this cluster randomized clinical trial of 1485 personnel in 215 training classes, the Wingman-Connect program reduced suicidal ideation, depression symptoms, and occupational problems at 1 month by fostering cohesive, healthy classes. Reduced depression symptoms were maintained through 6 months, and the odds of having elevated depression symptoms were lower (odds ratio, 0.80) at either follow-up point. Meaning Wingman-Connect is the first universal prevention program to reduce suicidal ideation and depression in a general Air Force population.
