Abstract
Introduction: This research aims to dtermine Structural Model of Emotion regulation and symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) in students.
Method: for this aim, 462 students of Shiraz University (223 female, 241 male) were selected using stratified random sampling as statistical sample. This participant responded to Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire-IV (GADQ-IV). Data analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).
Results: results of SEM showed that among difficulties in emotional regulation, limited access to emotional regulation strategies effect on symptoms of GAD directly and indirectly, with mediating of worry. Also, these results indicate that difficulties engaging in goal-directed behaviors can only effect directly on symptoms of GAD.
Conclusion: in general, these results show that emotional regulation components can affect symptoms of GAD in general population, so that increasing difficulties in emotional regulation due to increasing worry and symptoms of GAD.
