Abstract

|
This study attempted to examine the relationships among self-esteem, cognitive emotion regulation strategies, and interpersonal relationship abilities. In addition, this study attempted to investigate the mediation effects of cognitive emotion regulation strategies on the relationship between self-esteem and Interpersonal relationship abilities. The participants were 350 undergraduate students in Korea. Results indicate that self-esteem and interpersonal relationship abilities are positively correlated at the statistical level. Self-esteem and positive cognitive emotion regulation strategies are positively correlated with interpersonal relationship abilities at the statistically significant level. There are statistically significant negative correlations between the low self-esteem and negative cognitive emotion regulation strategies, and interpersonal relationship abilities. Moreover, both positive and negative cognitive emotion regulation strategies partly mediate the relationship between self-esteem and interpersonal relationship abilities. The study results suggest that a psychotherapist can intervene more efficiently not only by building up the client’s self-esteem, but also by promoting the client’s emotion regulation through cognitive thinking when a client has deficits of interpersonal relationship abilities.
