Özet

Objective: In recent years, it has been emphasized that emotion regulation is not only an internal process, but also has an interpersonal aspect that is associated with various variables. However, the relationship between interpersonal emotion regulation and personality traits has not been investigated yet. The aim of this study is to examine the relationships between interpersonal emotion regulation, personality traits, and psychopathology symptoms. Method: Three hundred ninety-one undergraduate women students recruited this study. Five Factor Personality Inventory-Short Form, Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, and Brief Symptoms Inventory were used as measurement tools. Results: People with high scores of extraversion, agreeableness, openness to experience and conscientiousness use others more to enhance positive emotions and to regulate their negative emotions. People with high neuroticism use others more for social modelling and to be soothed. The correlation results showed that personality traits, interpersonal emotion regulation strategies, and psychological symptoms were associated with each other. Also, multiple mediation analysis revealed that only soothing as an interpersonal emotion regulation strategy had a mediating role in the relationship between extraversion personality trait and general psychopathology symptoms. Discussion: Results showed that personality traits might affect using of interpersonal emotion regulation strategies. Some people seek out and use other people more to regulate their own emotions, which is associated with psychopathology symptoms. Extraverts easily reach others to be soothed when they feel negative emotions, and this might be protective from psychopathology.
