Abstract

This study examined the mediating effect of cognitive emotion regulation strategies on the relationship between perceived academic stress and achievement emotions. In a sample consisting of 330 university students, the Perceived Academic Stress Questionnaire (PASQ, Zajacova, Lynch & Espenshade, 2005), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ, Garnefski, Kraaij & Spinhoven, 2001), and Achievement Emotion Questionniare-Revised (AEQ-R, Abdollahpour, 1394) were administered. Structural equation modeling was used to assess the mediating effects model of cognitive emotion regulation strategies on the relationship between perceived academic stress and achievement emotions. Results showed that the partially mediated model of cognitive emotion regulation strategies on the relationship between perceived academic stress and achievement emotions had good fit to data. Furthermore, all of the regression weights in the hypothesized model were statistically significant and model' predictors accounted for 25% and 21% of the variance in positive and negative achievement emotions, respectively. In sum, the findings show that a part of available variance between conceptual cycles of perceived academic stress and positive and negative achievement emotions can be accounted for by cognitive emotion regulation strategies.
