Association of Emotion Regulation and Dispositional Mindfulness in an Adolescent Sample: The Mediational Role of Time Perspective

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

In their manuscript "Association of Emotion Regulation and Dispositional Mindful- 2 ness in an Infant-Adolescent Sample: The Mediational Role of 3 Time Perspective" Oyanadel-Véliz et al. describe the close relationship between emotional regulation with dispositional mindfulness and time  perspective. 

Overall the manuscript is easy to read, the introduction section provides a clear and stringent background, the methods and results section is presented clear and the discussion is concise.

Minor points to concider:

1) Page 3, line 85: please define "use of pharmacotherapy". Which informations in detail were available? Actual therapy or lifetime therapy? Psychopharmacotherapy or any pharmacotherapy?

2) Page 3 line 87 - please delete one "to"

Dear Reviewer:

Thank you for your review. Their appreciations have allowed us to improve our manuscript.

- Regarding the use of the term child-adolescent, since there is no clear cut-off regarding the ages in these periods, we prefer to use this term, classic in psychopathology, to differentiate it from the young and adult stages. But we understand that if the term 'adolescent' is more comprehensive, we have proceeded to change it throughout the manuscript.

- Improvements are introduced in the introduction and the central objective of this work is clarified.

- Aspects related to participants are clarified as requested, and considering the type of design.

- Your contribution has been very significant in clarifying the methodological and analytical steps, which have been updated in the manuscript.

- The references in the discussion have been updated.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Best regards,

Round 2

Reviewer 2 Report

Dear Authors,

Unfortunately, I see that the revisions were not done carefully. The contribution of contemporary literature to the discussion should have been increased, but these authors did not properly edit it. At the same time, the statistical method should be explained in more detail.

Best regards
