ACEs, Emotion Regulation, and Mental Health
Description
This data set was used to examine the relations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), emotion regulation, and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in a sample of college students. After recoding of gender and race/ethnicity, and removal of missing data, the final sample was 483. It was hypothesized that ACEs would be related to symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. It was also hypothesized that emotion regulation would moderate the associations of ACEs with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. The results supported the hypotheses, indicating that ACEs positive correlated with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, and emotion regulation moderated the associations of ACEs with depression, anxiety, and stress.
