Abstract
This study examined the influence of cognitive-emotional regulation, emotional self-disclosure and maternal psychological control on adolescent depression. The participants in this study consisted of 280 middle school students and 287 high school students in Gyung Gi Province, Korea. The results of this study were as follows. First, the high school students exhibited higher scores on depression than middle school students while there were no meaningful differences in maternal psychological control, cognitive-emotional regulation and emotional self-disclosure. Second, both middle and high school students` depression levels were positively associated with maternal psychological control and maladaptive cognitive-emotional regulation. Both middle and high school students` depression was negatively associated with emotional self-disclosure. Third, maladaptive cognitive-emotional regulation and maternal psychological control had a significant effect on both middle and high school students` depression levels, while emotional self-disclosure had a significant effect on high school students` depression only. In both age groups, there was an interactive effect of maladaptive cognitive-emotional regulation and maternal psychological control on depression.
