dc.description.abstractSexual distress is a critical factor in diagnosing sexual dysfunction, with recent cross-sectional research supporting a transdiagnostic approach for its understanding. This exploratory study aimed to investigate the mediating role of repetitive negative thinking between difficulties in emotional regulation and both sexual and psychological distress within a community sample. Utilizing a quantitative longitudinal design, the study surveyed 64 partnered individuals. The survey included a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale – Short Form, the Persistent and Intrusive Negative Thoughts Scale and, as interrelated outcomes, the Sexual Distress Scale-Revised and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale. Correlational analysis over time showed significant associations between difficulties in emotion regulation, repetitive negative thinking, psychological distress, and sexual distress. Controlling for sexual activity frequency, a positive total effect of difficulties in emotion regulation on sexual distress was observed. Longitudinal mediation analysis revealed a significant negative indirect effect of difficulties in emotion regulation on sexual distress through repetitive negative thinking, which acts as a buffer, but this effect was not observed for psychological distress. These findings underscore the importance of recognizing difficulties in emotion regulation and repetitive negative thinking as coping strategies when examining sexual distress. They emphasize the necessity to explore the efficacy of therapeutic interventions that address these cognitive processes to reduce adverse sexual outcomes. The results suggest that repetitive negative thinking might have adaptive effects, highlighting a nuanced role for these cognitive processes in coping strategies within the study's context.en
