Abstract
|
The present study aims to investigate the mediating role of emotional dysregulation as a transdiagnostic factor in
the relationship between pathological personality dimensions and emotional disorder symptoms severity. A total
of 440 university students were selected randomly from two universities, and were assessed through Personality
Inventory for DSM 5 Brief Form (PID-5-BF)-Adult, Depression, Anxiety and stress Scales (DASS-21), and
Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERs). The results obtained from the correlation revealed that there is a
direct and significant relationship between pathological personality dimensions and emotional disorders (anxiety
and depression). In addition, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) depicted that emotional dysregulation,
as a transdiagnostic factor, can mediate the relationship between pathological personality and emotional disorders
(anxiety, depression, and stress). The current findings illustrate how emotional dysregulation can increase
the influenceability of pathological personality dimensions on emotional disorders.
