Problem Orientation and Psychological Distress Among

Mediate Their Relationship?

Part One
The development of essential attitudes and abilities that help
determine a person's susceptibility to psychological discomfort
occurs throughout adolescence's formative years. This particular
research aimed to investigate the relationship between problem-

2. solving-oriented and cognitive-behavioral techniques for
emotion regulation and levels of psychological discomfort
(Speyer etal.,2021).
Notably, the issue of violence among adolescents is increasingly
recognized as a severe problem in terms of public health.
However, little research has investigated the importance of
techniques to control cognitive emotion in teenagers, despite the
increased interest in psychographic risk factors for violent
conduct. The primary focus of this study will be to investigate
the frequency of violent behaviors shown by adolescents and to
determine the nature of the connection that exists between
specific coping mechanisms for regulating cognition and
emotion and various manifestations of aggressive behavior.
Using confidential, self-reporting questionnaires, the research
will conduct a cross-sectional survey of 3,315 students in
grades 7 to 10 to investigate methods by which young
adolescents may manage their cognitive processes, emotions,
and actions connected to violence. The participants will be
notified about the survey, but their personal information will
not be public under any circumstances since this would violate
ethical standards.
The influence of a father on his children might also vary
depending on the gender and age of the kid. For boys, parental
psychological distress is related to higher internalizing and
externalizing issues throughout early adolescence. This finding
lends credence to the notion that this stage of development may
be especially significant in father-son exchanges. On the other
hand, there is a correlation between maternal and paternal
psychological discomfort in early infancy and increased levels
of internalizing and externalizing difficulties in females (Speyer
et al.,2021). Growing up with a father who struggles with
mental illness may make girls more reserved, reducing the
possibility that they would acquire issues that are manifested
outside their bodies. This is one of the possible explanations.

3. Part Two
The whole of this project shall be guided by the research
questions below: (what is the prevalence of adolescent violent
behaviors? what is the relationship between specific strategies
to regulate cognitive emotion and forms of violent behavior?)
To help operationalize the variables, a logistic regression model
will be used to determine the nature of the connection between
specific violent actions and techniques for controlling cognitive
and emotional states. The keywords which shall help in looking
for resources shall be adolescent, anti-social behavior, cognitive
emotion regulation, psychographic risk factors, and violence. In
this research project, dependent and independent variables shall
be used.
I. Dependent variables shall be; Psychological Distress and
problem orientation in adolescents
II. Independent variables on the other hand shall be: Cognitive
Emotion Strategies
In addition, this project shall also be run by both null and
alternate hypothesis as noted below

4. Null hypothesis (H0): Emotion regulation strategies will
mediate the associations of negative problem association
Alternate Hypothesis (H1): Emotion regulation strategies will
not mediate the associations of negative problem association
The violence that occurs among young people is a concern that
affects public health worldwide. It encompasses various
behaviors, ranging from name-calling and physical altercations
to more severe sexual and physical assault and even killing
(Bao etal.,2016). Every year, between the ages of 10 and 29,
there are over 200 000 killings committed worldwide. This
accounts for 42 percent of the total number of homicides
committed each year across the globe.
