To explore the relationship between self-regulatory failure and symptoms of depression and anxiety, a total sample of 200 college students with different self-regulation orientations (100 promotion focused participants and 100 prevention focused participants) were recruited to complete the survey at three time points with six months intervals (T1, T2, T3). The results showed that: 1) The promotion focused group had lower depressive, anxiety and self-regulation failure scores than those in the prevention focused group at T1 and T3. 2) Promotion focused failure and prevention focused failure at T2 both positively predicted the occurrence of depressive and anxiety symptoms at T3. 3) Depressive symptoms were associated with promotion focused failure; anxiety symptoms were associated with prevention focused failure. 4) Promotion focused failure at T2 mediated the relationship between depressive symptoms at T1 and anxiety and depressive symptoms at T3; prevention focus failure mediated the relationship between anxiety symptoms at T1 and secondary depressive and anxiety symptoms at T3. These findings provide empirical support for the validity of self-regulation theory, especially in explaining and predicting the occurrence and development of depression and anxiety symptoms.
