Abstract: 为探讨童年期创伤、认知灵活性、情绪调节和抑郁倾向之间的关系，采用童年创伤经历问卷、认知灵活性问卷、情绪调节问卷和流调中心抑郁自评量表对1156名大学生进行测量。结果发现：1) 童年期创伤显著正向预测大学生的抑郁倾向，认知灵活性在其中起中介作用；2) 童年期创伤与认知灵活性、认知灵活性与抑郁倾向之间呈显著负相关；3) 情绪调节在认知灵活性对抑郁倾向的影响中起调节作用。研究结果为抑郁倾向干预提供了实证支持。To explore the relationship between childhood trauma, cognitive flexibility, emotion regulation and depressive tendency, 1156 college students were measured by using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, the Cognitive Flexibility Inventory, the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. The results showed that: 1) Childhood trauma and positively predicted depressive tendency and cognitive flexibility played a partial mediating role in the relationship between childhood trauma and depressive tendency; 2) Childhood trauma is significantly negatively correlated with cognitive flexibility, and cognitive flexibility is significantly negatively correlated with depressive tendency; 3) Emotion regulation plays a moderating role in the effect of cognitive flexibility on depressive tendency. Compared to individuals with low emotion regulation, cognitive flexibility exerts a stronger negative predictive effect on depressive tendencies in those with high emotion regulation. This study constructs a moderated mediation model, providing empirical support for interventions targeting depressive tendency.
