The Role of Biased and Inflexible Interpretations in the Pathways from Dampening and Brooding to Depression and Generalized Anxiety

摘要: The aim of the current research is to examine the interplay between interpretation biases and inflexibility, emotion regulation and depression and general anxiety. Using a 28-day daily diary study conducted during the early phases of the Covid-19 pandemic, we will examine whether brooding and dampening (partially) mediate the relationship between interpretation biases and inflexibility and depression and general anxiety. We will also examine the role of interpretation biases and inflexibility as moderators of the association between daily emotion regulation (brooding and dampening) and general anxiety and depression.
