The Relationship Between Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies And Military Stress Response

ObjectivesTo analyze the relationship between cognitive emotion regulation strategies and military acute stress response and military fatigue response and to discuss the influencing factors and the way of action deeply,to provide an effective basis for the psychological development and regulation of soldiers after acute stress events and scientific guidance for the development of standardized and rational systematic psychological intervention measures,improving the pertinence of intervention measures.MethodsThe study was conducted by a large sample survey.1548 and 850 PLA officers were investigated using Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire,Perceived Social Support Scale,Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale and Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory.Statistical software of SPSS21.0 and AMOS17.0 were used for statistical analysis.ResultsResearch one: Analyzing effects on military acute stress reaction of cognitive emotion regulation1.Analysis of variance results show that the identification of the only child and different levels of soldiers have significant differences in acute stress reactions;higher and lower groups of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies are of statistical significance in acute stress reactions where the score of higher group is superior to that of the lower group;higher and lower groups of perceived social support and resilience were significantly different from acute stress reactions,and the score of higher group is inferior to that of the lower group.2.Both adaptive and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies have a significantly positive correlation with acute stress reactions(p<0.01);different dimensions of perceiving social support and resilience has a significantly positive correlation with acute stress reactions as well(p<0.01).3.Regression analysis results indicate that perceiving social support and resilience can explain 7% of the variance of acute stress reactions among which supports out of family(β=-0.233,p<0.001)and self-improvement(β=-0.164,p<0.05)have significantly negative prediction effects on acute stress reactions;Secondary regression analysis results reveal that adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies can explain 16.5% of the variance of acute stress reactions among which maladaptive emotion regulation strategies(β=0.309,p<0.001)have significantly positive prediction effects on acute stress reactions.4.Structural equation modeling results reveal that maladaptive emotion regulation strategies play a direct role in acute stress reactions.Perceived social support and resilience both have direct mediating effects on acute stress reactions where the mediating effect ratio of perceived social support is significantly higher than that of resilience.Research two: Analyzing influential factors of cognitive emotion regulation on military fatigue1.Analysis of variance results show that higher and lower groups of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies are of statistical significance in fatigue reactions where the score of higher group is superior to that of the lower group;higher and lower groups of perceived social support and resilience were significantly different from fatigue reactions,and the score of higher group is inferior to that of the lower group.2.Maladaptive emotion regulation strategies are significantly and positively correlated with fatigue reactions(p<0.01).Perceiving social supports and resilience are significantly positively correlated with fatigue reactions(p<0.01).3.Regression analysis results indicate that perceiving social support and resilience can explain 17.4% of the variance of fatigue reactions among which support out of family(β=-0.186,p<0.01)and self-improvement(β=-0.164,p<0.05)have significantly negative prediction effects on fatigue reactions;cognitive emotion regulation strategies can explain 22.5% of the variance of fatigue reactions among which adaptive emotion regulation strategies(β=-0.193,p<0.001)have significantly negative prediction effects on fatigue reactions while maladaptive emotion regulation strategies(β=0.354,p<0.001)have significantly positive effects.4.Structural equation modeling results reveal that adaptive and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies both play a direct role in fatigue reactions and possibly indirect role in fatigue reactions through mediating variables.Conclusions1.Perceived social support and resilience are negatively correlated with acute stress response and fatigue response.The mediating effect of perceived social support is larger,external family support play a major role in alleviating acute stress response and fatigue response of soldiers.2.Maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies is significantly positively correlated with military acute stress response and military fatigue response.The more individuals tend to use maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies,the more easily they will produce acute stress response and fatigue response.3.Adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies is significantly negative correlated with acute stress response and fatigue response.The more individuals tend to use adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies,the more difficultly they will produce acute stress response and fatigue response.
