Clinical Psychology Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) co-occur at high rates. Co-occurring PTSD and MDD may be best conceptualized as two independent, yet highly overlapping constructs. A shared negative affect component has been shown to partly account for the overlap between PTSD and MDD. Additional emotion-related factors may play a role in PTSD and MDD co-occurrence. Emotion regulation is a process that has been implicated in the anxiety and mood disorders, and specific emotion regulation strategies have been associated with PTSD and MDD. Negative mood regulation expectancies directly affect both the use of coping strategies and anxiety and depression symptoms. In an effort to better understand the nature of the relationship between co-occurring PTSD and MDD, the present study examined the roles of negative affect, negative mood regulation expectancies, and emotion regulation in PTSD and MDD in response to trauma exposure in a sample of 200 women and men with a primary diagnosis of chronic PTSD. Both PTSD and depressive symptoms were positively associated with the emotion regulation strategies of expressive suppression and rumination and negatively associated with the emotion regulation strategies of cognitive reappraisal and distraction. Individuals with co-occurring PTSD and MDD reported higher rates of expressive suppression and rumination and lower rates of cognitive reappraisal and distraction than individuals with PTSD alone. Maladaptive emotion regulation mediated the relationships between negative affect and PTSD and MDD, and negative mood regulation expectancies and PTSD and MDD. Overall, these results suggest that emotion regulation, affected by negative affect and negative mood regulation expectancies, may be a transdiagnostic component partly accounting for the co-occurrence between PTSD and MDD. 2014-02-21 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1389204561 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1389204561 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
