Effects of emotional regulation strategies on posttraumatic growth of certain recruits
Objective To explore the effects of cognitive emotion regulation strategies and behavioral emotion regulation strate-gies on posttraumatic growth(PTG)of recruits after intensive military training.Methods A total of 665 recruits were investigated with the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory for Recruits Training(PTGI-RT),Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies Questionnaire Chinese Version(CERQ-C)and Behavioral Emotion Regulation Strategies Questionnaire(BERQ)at one month(T1)and three months(T2)after the start of intensive military training.According to the scores of cognitive emotion regulation strategies at T1,recruits were divid-ed into four groups,high adaptive and high non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategy group,low adaptive and high non-adap-tive cognitive emotion regulation strategy group,low adaptive and low non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategy group,and high adaptive and low non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategy group.The posttraumatic growth level at T2 was compared a-mong the four groups.Behavioral emotion regulation strategies were implemented according to the same method.Results There were significant differences in posttraumatic growth scores among the four cognitive emotion regulation strategies groups(F= 13.16,P<0.001).The posttraumatic growth score of the high adaptive and low non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategy group was sig-nificantly higher than that of the other three groups,and the posttraumatic growth score of the low adaptive and high non-adaptive cogni-tive emotion regulation strategy group was significantly lower than that of the other three groups.There were significant differences in posttraumatic growth scores among the four behavior emotion regulation strategies groups(F=21.13,P<0.001).The posttraumatic growth score of the high adaptive and low non-adaptive behavior emotion regulation strategy group was significantly higher than that of the other three groups,and the posttraumatic growth score of the low adaptive and high non-adaptive behavior emotion regulation strate-gy group was significantly lower than that of the other three groups.Conclusions Adaptive cognition and behavioral emotion regulation strategies are positively correlated with posttraumatic growth,and non-adaptive cognition and behavioral emotion regulation strategies are negatively correlated with posttraumatic growth.Recruits who choose high adaptive and low non-adaptive cognitive and behavioral e-motion regulation strategies will obtain more posttraumatic growth,while recruits who choose low adaptive and high non-adaptive cognitive and behavioral emotion regulation strategies will obtain less posttraumatic growth.
