Adams, Lynette Jean. "A Confirmatory Analysis Of The Difficulties In Emotion Regulation Scale." OpenSIUC, 2008. https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/dissertations/32.

Better understanding difficulties in emotion regulation may help integrate a conceptualization for the etiology of a number of emotional disorders, such as depression or anxiety, and personality disorders. However, one deficit in extant literature has been in identifying a widely accepted measure in assessing problems with emotion regulation. A number of emotion regulation measures are currently used in the literature. Because each measure addresses regulation from a different perspective, the definition of emotion regulation remains unclear. Gratz and Roemer (2004) provide an integrated conceptualization for emotion regulation that accounts for the many ways in which emotions may affect the expression of psychological disorders. Gratz and Roemer constructed the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) to assess various areas in which one might experiences problems with emotion regulation. The DERS is a 36-item scale that has six factors related to emotion regulation: Awareness, Non-acceptance, Clarity, Impulsivity, Strategies, and Goals. The purpose of this study was to perform a confirmatory factor analysis on the DERS, and to examine its predictive validity for disorders that are associated with difficulties in emotion regulation. The data for this study was collected from part of a larger study on emotion regulation. Participants consisted of undergraduates at a rural mid-western university who completed a survey packet including the DERS, the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS) the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CESDS), and the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL). It hypothesized that a six factor solution would be found, validating the findings of Gratz and Roemer (2004). It was also expected that total DERS scores will be associated with CESDS and PCL scores, suggesting that participants who scored higher on these measures of depression and PTSD would also report difficulties with emotion regulation. The DERS factors were expected to be related to corresponding factors on the TMMS. Results indicated that although a 6-factor solution was supported, several modifications were needed to the original model in order to achieve acceptable goodness of fit index values. Additionally, a number of other suggestions for changes to the measure, including re-wording several of the items or the possible removal of the Awareness factor, are discussed.

The thesis comprises a literature review and a research report. The review provides a critical evaluation and summary of literature pertaining to associations between emotion dysregulation and medically unexplained symptoms (MUS). Owing to ambiguities in the conceptualisation of emotion dysregulation, the way in which emotion dysregulation is being conceptualised in the MUS literature (e.g. which strategies are being investigated in the disorder) was investigated followed by an evaluation of the associations between difficulties in these emotion regulation strategies and MUS. The researcher concludes that further research is needed to improve our understanding of emotion dysregulation in MUS. The research report investigated emotion dysregulation in psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES). The aetiology of PNES is not well understood, research suggests that the aetiology involves a complex interplay of factors. Recently, high levels of emotion dysregulation have been reported in PNES. In addition, high rates of traumatic experiences have been reported in the disorder. The researcher hypothesised that high levels of emotion dysregulation may be associated with traumatic experiences in PNES. High levels of emotion dysregulation were reported in both participants with PNES and participants with epilepsy but not in healthy controls. Higher levels of traumatic experiences were reported by the participants with PNES in comparison with participants with epilepsy and healthy controls. The researcher’s hypothesis was not supported; traumatic experiences did not account for the variance in emotion dysregulation, only anxiety accounted for this variance. The results are considered in relation to previous research and implications for practice and future research outlined

Lamb, Susannah J. "Self-regulation and communication skills in children with moderate learning difficulties." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2002. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/11258/.
Анотація:
Self-regulation is increasingly considered to play an important part in several aspects of learning. It has also been claimed to be a strong candidate in explaining many of the difficulties faced by children with learning difficulties. Difficulties in monitoring one's own comprehension and controlling one's own cognitive processes, for example, is likely to affect progress on many school tasks. At the same time, the language and communication difficulties frequently faced by children with learning difficulties can also be explained by reference to poor self-regulatory skills. This thesis explores the link between self-regulation, communication and learning for a group of children with moderate learning difficulties (MLDs). It reports the design and evaluation of an intervention study which sought to promote MLD children's use of self-regulatory strategies within a communicative context. The study was motivated by the Vygotskian proposal that collaborative interactions provide the opportunity for metacognitive skills to be modelled, shared and practised on the social plane before being internalised to become part of the child's own repertoire of self-regulatory behaviours. Preliminary analysis of the children's communication strategies indicated general improvements. However, on a separate measure of communicative performance, only half the children were observed to make gains. In attempting to explain this apparent dissociation between communicative process and communicative performance, the thesis raises some important questions about the kind of methodology which is used to measure individual contributions during collaborative interactions. By providing an alternative approach, microgenetic in nature, which concentrates on looking at the appropriateness of children's performance within the context in which it is taking place, an explanation for the seemingly discrepant results is proposed. Generalised gains in communicative performance can be explained by changes in particular types of strategic behaviours, specifically strategies associated with effective information provision and strategies which serve to regulate the interaction.

Lewis, Jonathan James. "Attachment Insecurity, Emotion Regulation Difficulties, and Mindfulness Deficits in Personality Pathology." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2016. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc862767/.
Анотація:
A growing body of research has documented associations between personality disorders (PDs) and attachment disturbance, and yet, attachment disturbance does not necessarily guarantee the development of PD pathology. Thus, understanding the mechanisms mediating the relationship between attachment disturbance and PD pathology remains an open area of research. One area with sound theoretical and empirical evidence has shown that attachment disturbances are associated with emotion regulation difficulties, as well as maladaptive interpersonal patterns of behavior. However, the research conducted thus far has predominately focused on borderline personality disorder, at the exclusion of other PD domains, and also has not broadened the scope of research to include other relevant psychological processes that may clarify how personality pathology and attachment disturbance are interrelated. Using a large independent sample of college (n = 946) and community-based individuals (n = 271), the current study aimed to (1) examine how the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) PD trait domains would be differentially associated with maladaptive attachment processes and emotion regulation problems, and (2) explore whether deficits in mindfulness and emotion regulation mediated the relationship between disturbed attachment and PD trait domains. Findings suggested that the PID-5 PD trait domains have general and specific relations to attachment insecurity, impairments in emotion regulation, and decreased mindfulness. Overall, the current study suggests that improving emotion regulation skills and increasing dispositional mindfulness may limit the expression of pathological personality traits. Implications of these findings and directions for future research are discussed.

This project is aimed at improving understanding of the relationships between the high levels of anxiety, difficulties with emotional regulation and sleep difficulties. The hope is that increased knowledge and increased literature in this area can suggest measures to intervene and break the cycle, giving individuals hope that they are not destined for negative outcomes. A pathway starting with negative life events is explored to better understand where the elements of anxiety, emotional regulation and sleep may link together.
37 first year Murdoch University psychology students agreed to take part in the study. The participants were asked to repeatedly answer a series of questions about their emotional wellbeing on a mobile phone application created by the researches. Participants were rewarded with credit points towards their course of study upon completion.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, anxiety is one of the most prevalent mental health issues that Australians are currently trying to deal with (One in Five Australians Have a Mental Illness, 2008) and the ripple effect of its impact is significant (Sunderland et al., 2013). This is the reason for our area of research, and the decision to hypothesis that there is an association between high anxiety, sleep difficulties, and emotional regulation.
The findings of the study were limited, due to low participant numbers, low levels of usable data, delayed data, completion deadlines and technical issues. This led to the requirement to adjust the initial design of analysing each individual participant response, to an examination of the overall results instead. The data received demonstrated that anxiety, sleep difficulties and difficulties with emotional regulation are all significant amongst the students. Although there were many challenges in obtaining workable data in a timely manner, we were able to draw together results that provide an inside into the implications of associations between anxiety, sleep, emotional regulation and other associated factors.

Анотація:
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been shown to have significantly deleterious effects on an individual’s overall health (Felitti et al., 1998), including poor subjective experiences of health (Khrapatina & Berman, 2017). Difficulties in emotion regulation (DERs), which reflect the inability to identify, interpret, and manage strong emotions, may be one mechanism through which ACEs affect health. Successful emotion regulation has been associated with high levels of self-reported health, whereby DERs has been linked to poor selfreported health (Kinnunen et al., 2005). The current study seeks to determine whether DERs (Gratz & Roemer, 2004) mediate the relationship between ACEs and subjective experiences of health. Utilizing a sample of students from a mid-sized university in rural Appalachia, the mediating role of DERs was tested using the PROCESS macro for SPSS with bootstrapping (5000 samples). Results demonstrated that DERS did significantly mediate the relationship between ACEs and self-reported health [R2 = .12, F(2,616) = 43.60, p < .000; indirect effect of DERS total t(616) = -7.01, p < .000, CI = -.04, -.02]. The identification of DERs as one mechanism through which ACEs increases the risk of poor self-reported health offers one target for interventions designed to mitigate the negative outcomes of ACEs and promote resilience in the face of past adversity

Witnessing partner violence (WPV) in childhood and adolescence can have significant impact on psychological functioning throughout development. Studies have shown that parenting factors, perceived social support, coping strategies, age at exposure, and gender can influence the relationship between WPV and outcomes. Although WPV can have serious implications towards emotion regulation abilities, empirical research on the link between WPV and emotion regulation is inadequate. The current study examined the associations between the frequency and types of WPV in childhood and adolescence and emotion dysregulation in adulthood. The study further explored the roles of parental bonds, social support, coping strategies, age at exposure, and gender as moderators in the relationship between WPV and emotion dysregulation. Data were collected using an undergraduate sample at Virginia Tech (N = 1040). Results indicated that verbal violence exposure was a significant predictor of emotion dysregulation while physical violence and total WPV were not. Parental warmth moderated the relationship between all three types of WPV and emotion dysregulation, while parental control and age of onset were moderators for total and physical WPV. Social support moderated the relationship between verbal violence exposure and emotion dysregulation. Coping strategies and gender were not found to be significant moderators. Exploratory analyses were conducted to further explore these relationships. The findings and their implications are discussed.Ph. D.

Анотація:
Stigma is one factor posited to play a role in the negative physical and mental health sequelae of sexual victimization (e.g., Finkelhor & Browne, 1985). Stigma has been shown to be associated with negative health outcomes across various marginalized populations, including LGBT individuals (e.g., Hatzenbuehler et al., 2014), and difficulties with emotion regulation (DERS) have been shown to be one mechanism through which stigma leads to psychological outcomes (Hatzenbuehler et al., 2009). This study sought to examine if DERS (Gratz & Roemer, 2004) mediated the relation between sexual victimization stigma (Gibson & Leitenberg, 2001) and physical health outcomes of general self-rated health and somatic symptoms (SSS-8; Gierk et al., 2014) in a sample of college students (N=194, 79% female, 81% white) in rural Appalachia with an experience of sexual victimization. Emotion regulation difficulties significantly mediated the relation between stigma and both health outcomes [self-rated health: R2 = .07, F(2,179) = 7.20, p < .01, indirect effect t(179) = -2.64, p < .01, CI = -.011, - .001; somatic symptoms: R2 = .23, F(2,180) = 27.50, p < .000, indirect effect t(180) = 5.41, p < .000, CI = .05, .02]. Results highlight the importance of considering the role of stigma for survivors of sexual violence, as well as suggest a treatment target in increasing emotion regulation skills.

Impulsivity and the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based intervention were explored in relation to improving behavioural self-regulation in adolescents with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties (BESD). A computerised choice task (CCT) was developed to measure delay discounting (a shift in choice from a larger reward to a smaller reward as the delay to the larger reward increases) in adolescents with BESD and compared it with several additional measures of impulsivity. The degree to which impulsivity and thoughts are related was explored using mindfulness measures. Effects of task type (computer versus sand-timer) and task context (school versus house) were also studied. Results suggested an effect of method but not location on discounting. Few between measure comparisons were significant, suggesting the possibility that different impulsivity measures assess different forms of impulsivity. However a significant negative correlation was found between impulsivity and mindfulness. A mindfulness-based intervention was implemented and results suggest potentially beneficial effects of applying mindfulness training to improve self-control and self-regulation in adolescents with BESD. Further research is necessary to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness training in adolescents with BESD, and explore differences between impulsivity measures to assist with effective measurement and intervention.

Анотація:
Objective: Individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have been found to exhibit emotional regulation difficulties. However, much remains to be learned about the specific neural mechanisms that underlie such difficulties. This study aimed to use eye tracking to investigate the mechanisms underlying emotional regulation difficulties in individuals with PTSD. Method: A total of 87 trauma-exposed mothers (34 PTSD positive and 53 non-PTSD controls) completed an eye tracking assessment in which pupillary dilation in response to emotionally valenced stimuli was measured. The participants also completed two self-report measures of emotional regulation. Results: The PTSD group exhibited increased pupillary dilation to positively valenced stimuli compared to the trauma-exposed, non-PTSD group. In contrast, there was no difference between the two groups using self-report measures of emotional regulation. Additionally, there were no associations between self-report measures and pupillary response to emotionally valenced stimuli. Conclusion: The findings may reflect impaired parasympathetic nervous system processes in individuals with PTSD. The finding that eye tracking, but not emotional regulation questionnaires, differentiated the groups may reflect the point that self-report measures are biased by an individual's ability and willingness to respond. These findings need to be followed up with additional experiments to delineate parasympathetic and other mechanisms involved in underpinning emotional regulation difficulties in PTSD.

Anti-insider trading provisions were initially enacted to inter alia; enhance confidence in South African financial markets by contributing to the maintenance of a stable financial market environment by promoting the international competitiveness of investors in securities services in the country. In attempts to determine whether the Insider trading regulations are indeed effective at deterring insider trading contraventions as well as enforcing contraventions thereof, the research will subsequently examine the relevant legislation which pertains to insider trading in South Africa as well as analyse any definitional ambiguities and difficulties caused therein. Wherefore other than where the definitions in the legislation is lacking, the research will further discuss what additional problems are drawn from the current legislative insider trading framework. An analysis will be done regarding the difficulties experienced by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (hereafter the FSCA or the Regulator) as the entity responsible for the supervision of compliance with market abuse provisions in discharging of its duties as a result of the current legislation and/or the lack of clarity therefore. A comparative study will consequently be conducted in the research to establish how Australia has arguably become acknowledged to have the most progressive and developed market abuse legislation in the world compared to that of South Africa. Ultimately, recommendations will be presented using the above comparisons on what mechanisms can be adopted to improve on South Africa’s regulation of insider trading.Mini Dissertation (LLM (Corporate Law))--University of Pretoria, 2020.

Inom området psykologisk behandling har intresset för känsloreglering och svårigheter med känsloreglering som gemensam nämnare vid psykisk ohälsa allt mer ökat. Vid behandling enligt Dialektisk Beteendeterapi av Borderline personlighetsstörning har svårigheter med känsloreglering varit en central del, både att i behandling arbeta med för att uppnå ett större fungerande, och i förståelsen av svårigheter hos individer som har fått diagnosen. Vid utvärdering av behandling har dock instrument riktade specifikt mot känsloreglering och eventuella svårigheter saknats. Denna studie har undersökt om frågeformuläret Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) kan användas för detta syfte. Resultatet visar en användarvänlighet av formuläret och signifikanta skillnader i svaren mellan en patientgrupp med diagnosen Borderline personlighetsstörning och en kontrollgrupp. I studien framkommer också att det kan finnas skillnader mellan olika faktorer för svårigheter med känsloreglering för denna patientgrupp, vilket kan ha betydelse vid planering för en effektiv behandling.

This study further defines the relationship between difficulties in emotion regulation and problem eating behavior. A total of 403 psychology undergraduate students completed measures of emotion regulation, disordered eating patterns, depression, and anxiety. Results from correlational and regression analyses suggest that difficulties in emotion regulation are related to problem eating behavior (r = .360, p< .001) and that overt problem eating behaviors and attitudes may be impacted more directly by symptoms of mood disorders rather than difficulties in emotion regulation (R2 = .190, F(4, 368) = 18.647, p< .001). Nonacceptance of emotional experience showed a significant impact on problem eating behavior above and beyond mood (R2 = .193, F(2, 370) = 44.162, p< .001; MOOD, β = .339, p< .001; nonaccept, β = .143, p = .014). The results of this study may have implications for prevention and treatment of problem eating behavior.

Анотація:
Obesity is a major health epidemic, impacting many people worldwide. Bariatric surgery is a common treatment for severe obesity and generally leads to improved overall health, remission of comorbid disease, and improved quality of life. Despite positive postsurgical results, many patients regain some to most of their weight following the procedure. Guidelines for presurgical psychological assessments have been developed to assist healthcare professionals in predicting outcomes for patients. Previous studies have focused on the impact of psychological illness on surgical outcomes, with mixed results. The current study aimed to assess the influence that difficulties in emotion regulation has on eating patterns in bariatric surgery patients. A total of 144 patients seeking bariatric surgery were included in the study. Results indicated no difference in severity of eating patterns among restricted, emotional, and external eating; though difficulties in emotion regulation was only significantly related to emotional (r = .427, p < .001) and external (r = .275, p < .001) eating patterns. Regression analyses indicated significant models for the impact of difficulties in emotion regulation on emotional (R2 = .254 F(5, 135) = 9.180, p < .001) and external (R2 = .094, F(5, 135) = 2.811, p = .019) eating. Specific predictors of emotional eating were discussed. Outcomes of this study highlight the importance of considering difficulties in emotion regulation in bariatric surgery patients due to the impact emotional dysregulation may have on eating patterns.

Анотація:
Research has shown that there is a complex association between emotion regulation difficulties and increased substance use. This study investigated men?s gender role conflict (GRC) as a possible moderator of this relationship. A sample of 144 adult males from the United States completed measures of alcohol use (MAST), non-alcohol substance use (DAST-20), emotion regulation difficulties (DERS), and men?s GRC (GRCS). GRCS was found to significantly correlate with DERS, MAST, and DAST-20. DERS emerged as a significant predictor for alcohol use severity and GRCS as a significant predictor for the non-alcohol substance use severity. In the regression models that included covariates, the age of first use emerged as a significant predictor of substance use severity and only DERS continued to significantly predict alcohol use severity. Men?s GRC was not found to significantly moderate the relationship between emotion regulation difficulties and substance use severity in this sample. A trend was observed where the association between emotion regulation difficulties and alcohol use severity appeared to be stronger at higher levels of men?s GRC. These findings support previous research that has found an association between men?s gender role conflict and substance use severity; however, further research is needed to clarify the nature of this association.

Parents remain to be effective in adolescents&rsquoemotional development. However, emotion socialization research is fundamentally based on studies conducted in infancy through middle childhood, but late childhood and adolescence have been largely ignored. Therefore, the current study aimed to make contribution to the current literature investigating factors associated with adolescents&rsquo
emotion regulation difficulties. As the first part of the study psychometric properties of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) were examined among Turkish adolescent sample. A total of 312 high school students (161 females and 141 males) whose ages ranged between 14 and 17 years participated in the study and findings indicated strong evidence for the utility of the DERS as a measure of emotion regulation difficulties in adolescents. The main study consists of three different purposes. First, discrepancies between mothers&rsquo
and adolescents&rsquo
reports on adolescents&rsquo
emotion regulation difficulties were examined. Second, factors associated with adolescents&rsquo
emotion regulation difficulties such as mothers&rsquo
emotion regulation, psychopathology, and personality traits, maternal rearing behaviors, and adolescents&rsquo
personality traits were explored. Lastly, mediating roles of emotion regulation difficulties on the relationship between adolescents&rsquo
perception of their mothers&rsquo
maternal rearing behaviors and their psychological problems were examined. Participants of this research were 595 first-grade high school students aged between 14 and 16 years, and 365 mothers from eight different high schools in Ankara. Data was collected from both adolescents and their mothers through questionnaire packets. Adolescents&rsquo
questionnaire set consisted of scales measuring emotion regulation difficulties (DERS), positive and negative affect scale (PANAS), maternal rearing behaviors (EMBU), basic personality traits (Big Five), and adolescents&rsquo
externalizing (SDQ) and internalizing symptoms (CDI). Similarly, mothers&rsquo
questionnaire set consisted of scales measuring emotion regulation difficulties (DERS), children&rsquo
s emotion regulation (DERS), Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), maternal rearing behaviors (EMBU), and basic personality traits (Big-Five). The results indicated that adolescents, both boys and girls, reported higher levels of difficulties in emotion regulation for themselves as compared to reports of mothers for their children. As expected, adolescents&rsquo
basic personality traits were significantly associated with their emotion regulation difficulties even after controlling the effects of socio-demographic variables, mothers&rsquo
emotion regulation, psychological symptoms and their maternal rearing behaviors. Finally, mediation analyses indicated that the link between perceived maternal rearing behaviors and adolescents&rsquo
psychological problems occurs through emotion regulation difficulties of adolescents. Findings were discussed within the relevant literature.

Анотація:
Anger management difficulties in children are common and are a major health concern. If left untreated these difficulties can have negative longer term impacts on the children's academic, social and emotional development. The present study looks at the effectiveness of a self-help anger management intervention; a potentially cost-effective and accessible approach. Twenty-four children were recruited through primary schools and assessed before and after the intervention. Child behaviour was assessed through child, parent and teacher reports. Conduct Problems and Total Difficulties of the Strenghts and Difficulties Questionnaire were included, and Aggression, Internalising, Externalising and Total Problem Scales were of relevance from the Child Behaviour Checklist. Children also completed self-report measures on emotion regulation at both time points. The results indicated that based on parent and teacher's reports the children's behaviour . improved over the course of the intervention. The effect sizes of these findings were large. Additionally, there was evidence to suggest that an improvement in behavioural difficulties was associated with a self-reported improvement in the children's emotion regulation abilities, in particular their ability to cope with anger in more appropriate way, and an improved emotional awareness. There was furthermore evidence to suggest that behavioural improvement was linked to whether or not parents were involved during the intervention. Some, albeit limited, evidence was found that improvement was also linked to the amount of material the children had worked through over the course of the intervention. On the whole children and parents expressed high levels of satisfaction with the intervention. Results are discussed in relation to previous research, and possible underlying mechanisms of change for children with anger difficulties in general and self- help interventions.in particular are explored. The importance of therapist involvement is considered. Limitations are acknowledged and research and clinical implications are suggested. 3

Literature Review: A systematic review of the literature on the use of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) with adults with intellectual disabilities (ID’s) was conducted.

Three separate focus groups were undertaken with groups of clients, carers and therapists. The group transcripts were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Similarities in experience across the three groups were identified resulting in three super-ordinate themes of ‘change’, ‘it’s painful’ and ‘development’. These themes suggest that all those who participate in an intellectual disability DBT service will experience change and develop personally and that this process is difficult. The clinical implications of this research support the use of DBT for adults with intellectual disability however it highlights the need for further adaptations to the DBT service in order to improve its effectiveness. Areas for future research are also discussed. Critical Appraisal: This paper provides a detailed critique of the methodology and limitations of the research. It provides the researcher’s reflections on the entire research process, elaborating on the decision-making processes involved and the personal impact of conducting the research.

Within the past two decades, research on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) spurred by the seminal Felitti (1998) study has gained significant momentum. Research has shown that childhood adversity impacts development across the lifespan, and it has been linked to heightened risk for both physical and mental health difficulties. Depression symptoms is one such outcome that has been associated with ACE exposure. In examining the pathways through which ACEs impact later development, the literature indicates emotion regulation may be a potential mediator between ACEs and depression outcomes. While understanding etiology of depression and risk factors that contribute to symptomology is important, it is also important to investigate factors which may buffer against depression and build resilience. Social support may be a protective environmental factor that could mitigate heightened risk within populations of individuals with ACE exposure. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the role of social support as a protective factor against depression in those who have experienced ACEs nested within the model where emotion regulation acts as a mediator between ACE exposure and later depressive symptoms. In this study, undergraduate participants (N = 766) at a southeastern university completed self-report questionnaires which evaluated ACEs, emotion regulation difficulties, perceived social support, and depressive symptoms. In the current study, it is hypothesized that difficulties in emotion regulation will mediate the link between ACEs and later depressive symptoms (model 1), social support will act as a protective factor against depression in the pathway between difficulties in emotion regulation and depression (model 2), and social support will have a greater buffering effect in individuals who have greater severity of ACE exposure (model 3). Mediation (model 1) and moderated mediation (model 2) analyses will be conducted using Hayes PROCESS macro. For all PROCESS models, bootstrapping frequencies will be set at 5,000 and used to generate a 95% confidence interval. The PROCESS bootstrapping methods entail a statistical process of extracting, resampling, and replacement of cases within a dataset. Additional follow-up moderated moderation analyses (model 3) will be conducted using Hayes PROCESS macro if the moderated mediation model is found to be significant.

Thesis (MEdPsych (Educational Psychology)--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Bowlby (1969) described infant attachment as the emotional bond that ties the infant to one or a few figures across time and distance. He claimed that internal working models are shaped by early experiences and that attachment behaviour is programmed within these models. According to Bowlby, internal working models are carried forward and have an effect on the development of personality, emotion regulation characteristics and behaviour later in life (Goldberg, 2000). Attachment Theory and emotion regulation are closely linked. The parent-child relationship plays an important role in the development of emotion regulation skills. According to research and subsequent literature, children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have difficulty with emotion regulation. A limited number of studies have focused on the emotion regulation characteristics of children with ADHD, using Attachment Theory as lens. In this study, Attachment Theory was applied to explore the emotion regulation characteristics of a ten-year-old girl with ADHD. A series of observations were central to the process of producing data, as observation plays an eminent role in the history of attachment research. Within the series of observations, together with three semi-structured interviews, the child‟s emotion regulation characteristics were identified. The parent-child relationship and the parents‟ level of reflective functioning played a significant role to identify the characteristics of emotion regulation. A literature review and information from documents (e.g. reports from multi-disciplinary professionals) contributed to the validity of the findings. It was found that the girl with ADHD was significantly insecure in her general functioning. The themes that emerged elicited the interface and interaction between attachment behaviour, emotion regulation and ADHD. Future research should focus on Attachment Theory and ADHD. Parents, teachers and multi-disciplinary professionals who have or work with children diagnosed with ADHD will benefit from Attachment Theory.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Bowlby (1969) het gehegtheid of binding beskou as die emosionele band wat tussen die jong baba aan een of meer versorgers gevorm word. Hy het beweer dat hierdie band mettertyd „n interne model van gehegtheid vorm, en dat latere gedrag volgens hierdie modelle uitgeleef word. Volgens Bowlby word interne werksmodelle oorgedra van die primere versorger na die kind. Hierdie modelle het n uitwerking op spesifieke aspekte van die persoonlikheid, op die regulering van emosies en op gedrag binne verhoudings asook tydens konflik later in die lewe (Goldberg, 2000). 'n Noue verbintenis bestaan tussen gehegtheidsteorie en die regulering van emosie. Die ouer-kind-verhouding speel 'n belangrike rol in die ontwikkeling van vaardighede om emosie te reguleer. Volgens navorsing vind kinders met aandagtekort-hiperatiwiteitversteuring (ATHV) dit moeilik om emosies te reguleer. 'n Beperkte aantal studies gebruik gehegtheidsteorie om die regulering van emosies by kinders met ATHV na te vors. In hierdie studie is gehegtheidsteorie toegepas om die eienskappe van emosie – regulering by 'n tienjarige dogter wie met ATHV gediagnoseer is, te verken. 'n Reeks observasies was sentraal tot die proses van dataversameling, omdat observasie 'n besondere rol in die geskiedenis van gehegtheidsnavorsing speel. Binne „n reeks van waarnemings, tesame met drie semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude, is die eienskappe van die kind se regulering van emosies geïdentifiseer. Die ouer-kind-verhouding en die ouers se vlak van reflektiewe funksionering speel 'n belangrike rol in die identifisering van eienskappe om emosie te reguleer. 'n Literatuuroorsig en inligting uit dokumente (bv. verslae van multidissiplinêre professionele persone) het bygedra tot die geldigheid van die bevindings. Dit is gevind dat die dogter met ATHV beduidend onveilig in haar algemene funksionering was. Die temas wat na vore gekom het, het die skakeling en interaksie tussen gehegtheidsgedrag, die regulering van emosie en ATHV aan die lig gebring. Ouers, onderwysers en multidissiplinêre professionele persone wat kinders het of wat werk met kinders wat met ATHV gediagnoseer is, sal baat vind by gehegtheidsteorie.

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a term used to indicate the range of conditions that can arise from prenatal exposure to alcohol. The pattern of central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction is somewhat variable by individual, but often involves impairments in learning and memory, self-regulation (including executive functions), social communication, and adaptive skills. Additionally, children with FASD often experience significant behavioural difficulties that impact on their functioning at home, school, and in community settings.
As a consequence, individuals with FASD are at a high-risk of experiencing secondary conditions, such as mental health problems, school disruption, and involvement with the criminal justice system, particularly as they enter adolescence. These neurocognitive difficulties, behaviour problems, and secondary conditions
contribute to the high burden for families raising children with FASD. Therefore, caregivers of children with FASD often experience higher levels of stress and increased risk of parent-child relationship difficulties.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

La présente étude s'intéresse à la persévérance de lycéens multi-redoublants jusqu'à leur réussite au baccalauréat dans un contexte gabonais très spécifique. Il se caractérise en effet par des effectifs de classe pouvant avoisiner les 100 élèves dans l'enseignement public et des taux annuels de redoublements parmi les plus élevés au monde : plus de deux fois supérieurs à la moyenne africaine (proche de 15%). L'objectif principal de cette thèse est d'éclairer les conditions de scolarisation qui permettent aux élèves ayant connu des difficultés persistantes de les supporter sans renoncer et de progresser suffisamment pour obtenir les moyennes requises pour les passages en classe supérieure puis pour obtenir un baccalauréat général. A partir de récits de vie recueillis dans trois grandes universités de Libreville durant l'année universitaire 2020-2021, des études de cas tenant compte des récurrences et des liens de causes à effets ont été réalisées. Les résultats mettent en exergue diverses conditions de scolarisation des élèves, et notamment diverses possibilités de soutiens ou d'interactions stimulantes susceptible de favoriser plus particulièrement leur persévérance ou des progrès plus ou moins nets et durables sur le plan de leurs apprentissages. Cette approche qualitative apporte donc un éclairage original dans un contexte particulier qui oblige à repenser la question du redoublement et de ses effets d'une manière plus nuancée. Certes le redoublement n'est pas une solution satisfaisante, mais dans un contexte scolaire gabonais ou les élèves sont privés d'interactions pédagogiques favorisant le dépassement de leurs difficultés, les redoublements leur offrent un temps d'apprentissage supplémentaire, et pour certains une accélération de leurs progrès lorsqu'ils ont enfin accès à des possibilités d'interactions sociocognitives stimulantesThis study focuses on the perseverance of multi-doubling baccalaureate, in a very specific Gabonese context. It is characterised by class sizes which can reach 100 pupils in state education and annual repetition rates that are among the highest in the world: more than twice the African average (close to 15%). The main purpose of this research thesis is to point out the academic conditions that enable pupils who have experienced persistent difficulties to endure them, without giving up and to make sufficient progress to obtain the averages required for promotion to the next class and then to obtain a general baccalaureate. averages required to pass to the next class and then to obtain their high school diploma. Based on life stories collected from three major universities in Libreville during the 2020-2021 academic year, case studies taking into account recurrences and causal links were carried out. The results highlight the various conditions under which students attend school, and a focus on the various possibilities for support or stimulating interaction likely to encourage them to persevere or to make more or less clear and lasting progress in their learning. This qualitative approach therefore specifically points on a particular context that forces us to rethink the issue of doubling a year, and its effects in a more nuanced way. Of course, doubling a year is not a satisfying solution, but in a Gabonese academic school context where pupils are deprived of pedagogical interactions that help them to overcome their difficulties, doubling a year gives them extra learning time. And for some of them, it accelerates their progress when they finally have access to stimulating socio-cognitive interactions

Cette thèse s’inscrit dans le système complexe de la formation par alternance des adultes avec une initiation à l’autoévaluation. Quels sont les éléments qui participeraient aux changements initiés par la loi de Refondation pour pallier les inégalités scolaires constatées ? Notre objet d’étude se situe hors de l’école en REP, avec un dispositif d’accompagnement à la scolarité qui prend en charge des enfants de 7 ans en difficulté scolaire : le CELEM (Club Lecture Ecriture Mathématiques). Bien que des études s’intéressent à l’impact de différents facteurs sur la réussite des enfants, les recherches qui permettent la validation des modèles d’évaluation formatrice sont rares. Nous proposons une initiation à l’autorégulation lors de la formation des intervenants des clubs afin de favoriser le développement cognitif et l’autonomie des adultes et par la suite des enfants. Notre méthodologie a pour objectif de tester une relation causale entre la formation des intervenants et la progression des enfants pour des disciplines scolaires et dans le comportement. Notre méthode est quasi expérimentale, comparative, prospective en quasi double aveugle. Deux groupes d’intervenants ont été constitués par randomisation. Les cartes associatives réalisées ont permis de suivre l’évolution des représentations que les intervenants se font de leur mission. Les résultats obtenus sont positifs et ont été corroborés par les résultats des enfants. On a constaté des modifications statistiquement significatives qui permettent d’affirmer que l’initiation à l’autorégulation des intervenants a entraîné des modifications de leurs représentations et l’amélioration des résultats des enfantsThis thesis falls within the complex system of the work/study training program of adults with an introduction to self-regulation. Which elements would participate to the changes initiated by the law of Reorganization to compensate the existing educational inequalities? Our subject is set outside school in the high-priority education network, within a plan of educational support for seven-year-olds with learning difficulties : the Reading Writing Mathematics Club. Though several studies take interest in the impact of various factors on the children’s success, little research has been done to validate the models of formative evaluation. We propose to improve the training of the Club’s staff members with an introduction to self-regulation, to stimulate the cognitive development and independence of both adults and children. Our methodology aimed to test a cause and effect relation between the staff's training and the children’s progress in both school subjects and behaviour. Our method was almost experimental, comparative, prospective, practically double blinded. Two staff groups were randomly formed. We observed how the representations they had of their own mission evolved, before and after their training; the obtained results were corroborated by the children’s results. We observed statistically significant differences which allow us to affirm that the training in self-regulation of the staff members changed their representations and led to better results for the children

Pour remédier aux nombreuses insuffisances et défaillances constatées dans le système de régulation et de surveillance du secteur financier, post crise, de nombreuses réformes institutionnelles ont été réalisées à l'initiative des organismes et autorités de régulation bancaire et financière aussi bien au niveau national qu'au niveau international. Le Royaume du Maroc, en vertu de son statut avancé, signé en octobre 2008, a fait un réel effort pour réduire les différences entre les législations marocaine et européenne. Il a consenti à se rapprocher des normes européennes sur le plan législatif et réglementaire avec l'objectif d'être intégré au marché intérieur européen et de disposer d'une économie plus efficace. Toutefois, le système bancaire marocain ne semble pas adhérer aux changements induits par ce travail de convergence, si non il y a encore du chemin à faire dans ce sens et une convergence totale demandera, incontestablement, "des années"! Cette thèse tente d'examiner les difficultés d'adaptation des techniques de régulation européenne au système financier marocain à travers notamment, le système de régulation des banques marocaines, l'encadrement des mécanismes relevant du shadow banking et des opérations du marché des produits dérivés. Elle met l'accent sur les nombreux défis que cette industrie aura à relever dans les années à venir. Après une analyse des principales difficultés d'adaptation des techniques de régulation européennes au système financier marocain (Partie I), quelques solutions sont proposées, à savoir la finance islamique comme une finance complémentaire à la finance conventionnelle, l'inclusion financière comme une solution ayant pour finalité la réduction de la pauvreté et la création de postes d'emplois et le crowdfunding comme moyen de financement par le public de projet de création d'entreprise et solution au resserrement de crédit constaté après la crise de 2008 (Partie II)The extent of the 2008 financial crisis' diffusion gave rise to strenuous and far-reaching debates about international financial stability. In fact, the question of financial instituions' social responsability seen as a financial stability vector has become the center of every debate. Financial instituions' governance and risk management devices have not only highlighted the vulnerability of the banking system, but also its inability to deal with liquidity requirements. With no doubt,banks have not been cautions enough to evaluate the risks they were taking. After the crisis, many institutional reforms were carried out at the initiative of banking and financial regulatory authorities, both at national and international levels, to tackle the numerous shortcomings and deficiencies found in the financial sector's regulation and supervision system. Under the Advanced Status, signed in October 2008, the Kingdom of Morocco has tried hard to reduce the gap between the Moroccan and the European legislations. In fact, it has agreed to move closer to European standards on the legislative and regulatory level aiming to be more integrated into the European internal market and to have a more efficient economy. Nevertheless, the banking system doesn't seem to adhere to the changes that were induced by this convergence work. Thus, there is still some way to go in this direction, not to mention that such a total convergence would take "years"! This thesis attempts to examine the difficulties of adapting European regulatory techniques to the Moroccan financial system, particularly through the Moroccan banks' control system and the supervision of mechanisms that take place under the "Shadow Banking" and the derivative market. It emphasizes all of the challenges this industry will have to face in the coming years. After an analysis of the main difficulties of adapting European regulatory techniques to the Moroccan financial system (Part I), some solutions are suggested,namely Islamic finance as a complement to the conventional one, financial inclusion as a solution aiming to reduce poverty and create jobs, and "Crowdfunding" as a financing tool for the mass individual investors to back start up projects, and a solution to the credit tightening phenomenon after the crisis of 2008 (Part II)

Eating disorders pose a serious threat to the physical and mental health of those who suffer from them. Given the impact of these disorders and difficulty treating them, it is important to understand the nature of them and factors involved in their development and maintenance. The empirical investigation of eating disorders is made difficult by the extreme heterogeneity seen within current DSM-IV diagnostic categories. Research on emotion regulation in eating disorders is rising, yet scant in terms of identifying specific difficulties and points of intervention. The proposed study focused on the construct of emotion regulation and its relation to the eating disorders by: (1) empirically identifying groups of eating disorder participants based on symptoms and (2) examining specific difficulties in emotion regulation capacities in each of the identified groups of eating disorder participants and (3) identifying whether difficulties in emotion regulation contribute to eating disorder symptom severity. A clinical sample of individuals with eating disorders was classified into subgroups based on symptom frequency using latent profile analysis. The most parsimonious and best fitting model was a four-profile solution which resulted in four distinct subgroups. Profile 1 consisted of individuals who endorsed moderate restriction and occasional binge eating and vomiting, all at a subclinical level. Profiles 2, 3, and 4 all met criteria for bulimia nervosa and consisted of individuals who engaged in restriction, binge eating, and purging though in varying degrees. When these groups were compared to a sample of college aged healthy control participants using multivariate analysis of variance, results indicate that individuals in profile 1, which comprised 71% of the sample, experience greater difficulty with emotion regulation in the areas of awareness, nonacceptance, and perceived access to strategies to help them feel better. Results of three hierarchical regression analyses showed that difficulties in emotion regulation did not significantly contribute to symptom severity as anticipated..

A preliminary measure of affect regulation strategies was developed from Parkinson and Totterdell’s (1999) provisional classification of deliberate strategies for improving negative affect. Four broad categories of strategies including Cognitive Engagement, Cognitive Diversion, Behavioural Engagement, and Behavioural Diversion were represented by the measure. Using this measure, relationships between self-reported use of affect regulation strategies and difficulties in emotion regulation and emotion processing variables were investigated. Participants included 186 adults. Participants completed a 20 minute online survey consisting of the measure of affect regulation strategies, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), the Subjective Experience of Emotions Scale (SEE), and a demographic information questionnaire. Weak correlations were found for the majority of the difficulties in emotion regulation and emotion processing subscales and individuals’ self-reported use of affect regulation categories. Results also provide evidence of convergent and discriminant validity for the DERS and SEE.

The ability to regulate emotion of substance abusers is worse. Individuals regulating their emotion by substance use are less likely to resort to other forms of emotion regulation strategies and have worse psychological adaptation. Also, the use of emotion regulation strategies may influence the degree of emotion regulation difficulties. However, in the past, the relationship among emotion regulation strategies, emotion regulation difficulties and psychological adaptation was few analyzed. Besides, there is few research of the Applicability on substance abusers in the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale. Therefore, there are two parts in this study. First, we exam the reliability and validity of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale after translation. Second, we explore the relationship among emotion regulation strategies, emotion regulation difficulties and psychological adaptation. There are 204 subjects who are male inmates in the Substance Abuser Treatment Center. After Informed consent and description of the study and evaluation methods, subjects completed the self-report inventories. The results indicate that the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale has good internal consistency, good criterion-related validity, and adequate construct validity. The construction in this study is different with the construction in the original theory. The construct of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale in this study contains 4 factors: nonacceptance of emotional responses, difficulties engaging in goal directed behaviors, impulse control difficulties and limited access to emotion regulation strategies. Besides, the results suggeste that emotion regulation difficulties plays the mediation role between the specific emotion regulation strategies (”develop new opinion”, ” dysfunctional regulation”) and negative psychological adaptation. That is, the specific emotion regulation strategies could reduce / increase emotion regulation difficulties, thereby reduce / increase negative psychological adaptation. The results of this study provide the evidence for future researches and measurement tool, as well as the use of clinical intervention in substance abusers.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Psicologia apresentada à Faculdade de Psicologia e de Ciências da EducaçãoIntroduction: Adolescence corresponds to a period of time prone to risks and opportunities when it comes to the development of emotional regulation, consisting of a privilege development stage to explore the variables associated to emotional regulation and its difficulties. Considering that the difficulties associated with emotional regulation are present throughout the development of the human being, it becomes necessary to resort to an instrument that may adequately measure it within the adolescent population.Objectives: This investigation has the main objective of validating the Difficulties in Emotional Regulation scale for adolescents in the Portuguese population (EDRE-VA), proving its reliability on the evaluation of this construct. The intent of this investigation is to test the dimensional structure of measure from the factorial confirmatory analysis (AFC). As specific objectives, it is proposed to test the psychometric properties of the scale, the invariance of the measurement model, the temporal stability of measure, establish construct validity and study the gender differences in the use of emotional regulation strategies.Materials and methods: 607 adolescent participants aged between 14 and 18 years old (50,9% female gender; average age 16,12 ± 1,231) completed the Difficulties in Emotional Regulation scale and additionally 440 participants completed a set of measures of emotional regulation and quality of life. A subsample of 100 adolescents participated in the test-retest (50% of each gender).Results: The EDRE-VA revealed an acceptable adjustment of the multidimensional model found in the original version. Though, it was not possible to establish the invariance of the measurement model by gender. The results show that this version has a factorial structure similar to the original scale, an acceptable test-retest reliability (r= .52), an excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s α= .91) and an acceptable convergent and divergent validity.Conclusions: The EDRE-VA looks to be a valid self-report instrument for this population, making available a measure that allows studying the difficulties of emotional regulation in adolescents. However, it proves to be a less robust instrument since the measurement model did not prove to be invariant by gender.
Introdução: A adolescência é um período propenso a riscos e oportunidades em termos de desenvolvimento da regulação emocional, sendo uma fase de desenvolvimento privilegiada para explorar as variáveis associadas à regulação emocional e as suas dificuldades. Considerando que as dificuldades de regulação emocional se encontram presentes ao longo do desenvolvimento do ser humano, torna-se necessário o recurso a um instrumento que as possa medir adequadamente para a população adolescente.Objetivos: A presente investigação tem como finalidade validar a escala de Dificuldades na Regulação Emocional para adolescentes na população portuguesa (EDRE-VA), comprovando a sua fiabilidade na avaliação deste construto. Pretende-se testar a estrutura dimensional de medida a partir da análise fatorial confirmatória (AFC). Como objetivos específicos, propõe-se testar as propriedades psicométricas da escala, a invariância do modelo de medida, a estabilidade temporal de medida, estabelecer validade de construto e estudar as diferenças de género no recurso a estratégias de regulação emocional. Materiais e métodos: 607 participantes adolescentes com idades compreendidas entre os 14 e os 18 anos (50,9% sexo feminino; idade média 16,12 ± 1,231) completaram a Escala de Dificuldades de Regulação Emocional e adicionalmente 440 participantes preencheram um conjunto de medidas de regulação emocional e qualidade de vida. Uma subamostra de 100 adolescentes participou no teste-reteste (50% de cada género).Resultados: A EDRE-VA revelou um ajustamento aceitável do modelo multidimensional encontrado na versão original. Contudo, não foi possível estabelecer a invariância do modelo de medida por género. Os resultados revelam que esta versão possui uma estrutura fatorial semelhante à da escala original, uma fiabilidade teste-reteste aceitável (r= .52), uma excelente consistência interna (Cronbach’s α= .91) e uma validade de convergente e divergente aceitável. Conclusões: A EDRE-VA parece ser um instrumento de autorrelato válido para esta população, ficando disponível uma medida que permite estudar as dificuldades de regulação emocional em adolescentes. Contudo, revela ser um instrumento menos robusto, uma vez o modelo de medida não comprovou ser invariante por género.

L’objectif de cette recherche est d’étudier la régulation émotionnelle et l’empathie de l’enfant comme processus par l’entremise desquels le rejet parental est associé aux difficultés de l’enfant sur les plans émotionnel, comportemental et relationnel. La régulation émotionnelle semble expliquer le lien entre le souvenir de maltraitance psychologique à l’enfance et les actes agressifs à l’âge adulte (Allen, 2011; Crawford & Wright, 2007). Par ailleurs, aucune recherche n’a étudié le rôle de la régulation émotionnelle pour expliquer le lien entre la maltraitance psychologique et les difficultés telles que vécues à l’enfance. Le rejet parental est lié à des déficits au niveau de l’empathie (Hower & Edwards, 1979; Kim & Rohner, 2003) et ces déficits semblent associés aux difficultés chez l’enfant (N. D. Feshbach & Feshbach, 1969; Miller & Eisenberg, 1988), ce qui laisse croire que l’empathie pourrait aussi être un médiateur du lien entre le rejet parental et les difficultés des enfants. Les données proviennent d’un échantillon de 103 dyades mère-enfant (49 garçons et 54 filles âgés de 6 à 13 ans) recrutées dans trois écoles primaires et issues de familles majoritairement francophones (75,8%). Les enfants et leurs parents ont rempli des questionnaires de type papier-crayon afin de documenter le rejet et l’acceptation maternelle perçus par l’enfant, la régulation émotionnelle, l’empathie, les comportements et les difficultés de l’enfant. Un modèle médiateur impliquant trois équations de régression suivant la procédure de Baron et Kenny (1986) a révélé qu’en contrôlant pour le niveau scolaire de l’enfant, seule la régulation émotionnelle expliquait significativement les difficultés de l’enfant (β = -.32, p < .01) et agissait ainsi en tant que médiateur de l’effet préalablement observé entre le rejet maternel et les difficultés de l’enfant. L’effet de médiation a été confirmé par un test de Sobel (Z = 2.40, p < .05) et une analyse utilisant une méthode de ré-échantillonnage (bootstrap (Preacher & Hayes, 2008)) (effet de médiation = .06 [SE = .03], 95% IC = .02 à .13), ce qui soutient l’hypothèse de départ en ce qui concerne la régulation émotionnelle. Le modèle incluant l’empathie de l’enfant n’a pu être testé étant donné des corrélations bivariées non significatives entre l’empathie de l’enfant et ses difficultés. Des études ultérieures incluant un plus grand échantillon et utilisant une mesure plus concrète de l’empathie de l’enfant sont nécessaires.The purpose of this study was to investigate children’s emotional regulation and empathy as mediators of the relationship between children’s emotional, behavioral and social impairments. Emotional regulation has been used to explain the link between children’s memory of psychological maltreatment and acts of aggression in the adulthood (Allen, 2011; Crawford & Wright, 2007). Moreover, no research project has explored emotional regulation as a potential mediator of the relationship between psychological abuse and the difficulties that the child is struggling with. Parental rejection is also related to empathic impairments (Hower & Edwards, 1979; Kim & Rohner, 2003) and these impairments seem to be associated with children’s aggressive and antisocial behaviors (N. D. Feshbach & Feshbach, 1969; Miller & Eisenberg, 1988), suggesting that empathy could potentially be a mediator of the association between parental rejection and children’s impairments. Our sample consists of one hundred and three mother-child dyads (49 boys and 54 girls, aged between 6 and 13 years) attending three elementary schools and coming from french-speaking families (75,8%). Children and parents have completed paper-pencil questionnaires, which aimed at evaluating maternal acceptance/rejection as seen by the child, the child’s emotionnal regulation, empathy, behaviours and difficulties. A mediator model including three regressional analyses following Baron and Kenny’s procedure (1986) revealed that while controlling for the child’s school degree, only emotional regulation remains as a significant predictor of its difficulties (β = -.32, p < .01), and was a mediator of the effect previously observed between maternal rejection and children’s difficulties. Sobel’s test (Z = 2.40, p < .05) and a bootstrap analysis (Preacher & Hayes, 2008) (mediation = .06 [SE = .03], 95% IC = .02 à .13) confirmed the mediational effect thereby supporting the hypothesis concerning emotion regulation. The mediation model including children’s empathy couldn’t be tested because of insignificant bivariate correlations between the child’s empathy and his or her difficulties. Future research including a larger sample and using a measure of empathy suitable for young children is needed.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Psicologia apresentada à Faculdade de Psicologia e de Ciências da EducaçãoObjetivos: O presente estudo teve como objetivos: a) caracterizar os sintomas depressivos, ansiosos e as dificuldades de regulação emocional das mães com elevado risco para a depressão pós-parto, desde os 3/4 até aos 9/11 meses pós-parto; b) caracterizar as associações entre as dificuldades de regulação emocional e a sintomatologia depressiva e ansiosa ao longo do pós-parto; c) examinar o potencial papel mediador destas dificuldades na relação entre os sintomas depressivos e ansiosos aos 3/4 e 9/11 meses pós-parto. Método: Este estudo longitudinal incluiu uma amostra recolhida online, constituída por 156 mães com elevado risco para a depressão pós-parto, que responderam a instrumentos de autorresposta com o intuito de avaliar os sintomas depressivos, ansiosos e dificuldades de regulação emocional aos 3/4 meses pós-parto, 5/6 meses pós-parto e 9/11 meses pós-parto. Resultados: Verificou-se uma redução dos sintomas depressivos e das dificuldades de regulação emocional dos 3/4 meses para os 5/6 meses pós-parto. Aproximadamente 30% das mães apresentaram sintomas depressivos e ansiosos comórbidos. Apesar das dificuldades de regulação emocional não se configurarem como mediadores na relação entre os sintomas depressivos/ansiosos aos 3/4 e 9/11 meses pós-parto, associaram-se significativamente com os sintomas depressivos/ansiosos em cada momento de avaliação. Conclusões: Estes resultados enfatizam a importância de intervir precocemente nas mães com elevado risco para a depressão pós-parto, assim como de não negligenciar a sintomatologia ansiosa e os sintomas comórbidos. Os resultados sublinham a relação entre as dificuldades de regulação emocional e os sintomas depressivos/ansiosos, enfatizando a importância das intervenções baseadas em abordagens transdiagnósticas.
Objectives: The current study aimed to: a) characterize depressive and anxious symptoms as well as emotion regulation difficulties in mothers presenting high risk for postpartum depression, from 3/4 to 9/11 months postpartum; b) characterize the associations between emotion regulation difficulties and depressive and anxious symptomatology over the postpartum period; c) examine the potential mediator role of these difficulties in the relation between depression and anxiety symptoms at 3/4 and 9/11 months postpartum. Method: This longitudinal study included a sample collected online, comprised by 156 mothers with high risk for postpartum depression, that answered to self-response instruments with the purpose of evaluating depressive and anxious symptoms and emotion regulation difficulties at 3/4 months postpartum, 5/6 months postpartum and 9/11 months postpartum. Results: A reduction of depressive symptoms and emotion regulation difficulties from 3/4 months postpartum to 5/6 months postpartum was verified. Approximately 30% of mothers showed comorbid depressive and anxious symptoms. Despite emotion regulation difficulties not configuring as mediators in the relation between depression/anxiety symptomatology at 3/4 and 9/11 months postpartum, they related significantly with depressive/anxious symptoms in each assessment moment. Conclusions: These results emphasize the importance of early intervention in mothers with high risk for postpartum depression, as well as to not neglect the anxious symptomatology and comorbid symptoms. The results highlight the relation between emotion regulation difficulties and depression and anxiety symptoms, emphasizing the importance of interventions based on transdiagnostic approaches.

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Difficulties in emotional regulation are considered a core component in over half of the DSM-IV Axis I disorders, and all of the Axis II disorders (Linehan, 1993; Gross & Levenson, 1997; Briere & Gill, 1998; Gratz, 2003). Despite this there are few instruments that measure difficulties in emotional regulation. This has meant that many clinicians have had to use multiple measures that contain closely-related constructs in an attempt to capture the degree of difficulties in emotional regulation experienced by an individual. One measure that reported sound reliability and validity is the ‘Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale’ (DERS) (Gratz & Roemer, 2004). Since the publication of the DERS, numerous studies have included the measure in research. However the majority of these studies have tended to employ student populations, or report on a small sample size. The few studies that have reported on the psychometric properties of the DERS have indicated problems with one or more of the subscales (Tull & Roemer, 2007; Weinberg & Klonsky, 2009; Bardeen, Fergus, & Orcutt, 2012). This indicates that a re-examination of the psychometric properties of the DERS is needed. It is generally recommended that a re-assessment of the psychometric properties of an existing measure be conducted in different samples under different circumstances and across cultures, to ensure that the measure maintains its robustness and generalisability (Floyd & Widaman, 1995; Haynes, Richard, & Kubany, 1995). This thesis re-examined the psychometric properties of the DERS within three chapters (Chapters 3 to 5). It aimed to address two of the major limitations reported in the development of the DERS previously, namely, the use of a student sample and, secondly the retest on a small sample size (Gratz et al., 2004). To address these issues this thesis included clinical samples, and second, recruited a large sample for the test-retest reliability. Chapter 1 provided an overview of the literature, whilst Chapter 2 reports the DERS scores across five samples; a community or control sample (CS, n= 198), a university student sample (n=264),and two clinical samples, one with a diagnosis of schizophrenia (n=129) and the second with a co-existing diagnosis of depression and substance abuse (n= 231). The fifth sample was formed by combining the data from the CS, and the clinical groups (n=558). The rationale for combining the samples was to reflect a sample that is representative of the general population and enabled this study to determine the most appropriate composition of the DERS subscales. An analysis of the total DERS mean scores revealed that the mean in the clinical samples was significantly higher than that of either the CS in this study and the mean score in the university sample reported by Gratz and Roemer (2004). This difference in mean scores indicated that the DERS might be able to detect differences between clinical and community samples and this was examined in Chapter 3. In study one t-tests were used to compare the DERS total mean score of the CS (n=167) with total mean scores published in other studies, to determine if data from the CS reflected a different population group. Results indicated a statistically significant difference between all the published mean scores and that of the CS, with the CS sample reporting fewer difficulties in emotional regulation. A test of internal consistency of the DERS found the DERS to have high internal reliability and test-retest reliability indicated a minimal degree of change between scores from time one (α= .94) to time two (α =.96). Factor analysis was examined using a diverse sample (n=557) but contrary to expectations, the analysis did not replicate the original six factors of the DERS reported in literature previously. Rather, a principal component analysis with an oblimin rotation found a four factor solution was optimal. Item redundancy was explored and a shortened version of the DERS (DERS-Revised; DERS-R) to be used in an Australian population, was suggested. A comparison of the DERS-R with existing instruments that are known to reflect a relationship with the construct of the DERS-R will provide further evidence of the validation of the instrument. Chapter 4 examined the construct validity of the DERS-R in two samples. The first sample consisted of clinical and non-clinical participants (n=260) and the second sample consist of university students (n=264). T-tests indicated a significant difference between the samples’ mean scores, with the university students reporting greater difficulties in emotional regulation compared to those individuals in the combined sample. To provide evidence for the construct validity of the DERS-R it was expected that the two samples, would report scores on the additional instruments in the same direction. The Kessler 10 (K10) (Kessler et al., 2002) is a scale of psychological distress, depression and anxiety. It is expected to positively relate to high scores on the DERS-R. Correlations were conducted and both samples revealed a positive correlation in the expected direction between the DERS-R and K10 scores, indicating individuals who experienced greater difficulties in emotional regulation also experienced greater psychological distress. Further examination of the final four factors in both samples showed a statistically significant moderate to high correlation on all four factors of the DERS-R in the expected direction, and all four factors had statistically significant low to moderate correlations with each other in the expected direction. The ‘Social Problem Solving Inventory-Revised’ (SPSI-R) (D'Zurilla, Nezu, & Maydeu-Olivares, 1998) was also administered to the combined population to further examine construct validity. SPSI-R reflects difficulties in problem solving in everyday life situations. Problem solving is viewed as an important coping strategy and has been linked with the levels of personal stress or distress a person is experiencing. The scale has two orientations: ‘positive’ and ‘negative’, with negative problem solving linked with greater distress. This study hypothesised that a negative relationship would exist between the SPSI-R ‘positive orientation’ and psychological distress, as measured by K10, and that the DERS-R would be able to reflect this. As predicted, correlation analysis revealed a significant moderate negative relationship between the DERS-R score and ‘positive orientation’ indicating that poor problem solving was associated with greater difficulties in emotional regulation. Analysis also detected a significant and strong relationship between SPSI-R ‘negative orientation’ and the DERS-R indicated that greater difficulty in emotional regulation was associated with greater inhibitive cognitive-emotional style, providing further evidence of construct validity. The student sample was also administered the ‘Big 5 Personality Traits Scale’ (Goldberg, 1992). On this scale, the trait referred to as ‘neuroticism’ reflects an individual’s tendency to worry, feel insecure, feel nervous and be highly strung. It was hypnotised that someone who experienced greater difficulties in emotional regulation (reflected in the DERS-R) would score high on the ‘neuroticism’ trait. Analysis confirmed this hypothesis, with a significant high positive relationship on the neuroticism trait associated with high scores on the DERS-R. The results presented in Chapter 4 provided evidence that the DERS-R has sound construct validity. Chapter 5 examined whether the DERS-R will be effective in a clinical setting. To do this was necessary to determine if the instrument can detect change, post receiving an intervention. To examine this, a clinical sample who were diagnosed with coexisting depression and alcohol abuse (CDSA, n=103) were recruited, and administered the DERS-R and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 month follow-up. Participants received a 12 week intervention that was designed to reduce alcohol consumption as opposed to specifically focussing on reducing difficulties in emotional regulation. Positive correlations between the DERS-R and the BDI-II were found at each time-period indicating that as individuals experienced greater difficulties in emotional regulation, they also reported greater depression scores. A random effects model examined the association between BDI-II scores and DERS-R scores at each time period and indicated a significant high association suggesting that each one unit increase in the BDI-II is associated with a 0.89 unit increase in the DERS-R. Finally an examination of the association between the DERS-R and alcohol at each time period revealed a highly significant association, with each one unit increase in alcohol associated with an increase in the DERS-R. This is further evidence of convergent validity. Most importantly, it suggests the DERS-R is able to detect change that occurred as a result of treatment, making it a reliable and effective instrument to use in a clinical population. The findings from this research have important implications for the measurement of emotional regulation in both the clinical treatment and research setting. The DERS-R was shown to have sound psychometric properties when used in an Australian population. Two major strengths in the DERS-R are that it is slightly briefer that the original DERS, with the DER-R having 29 items compared to the original 36 items. This makes the DERS-R slightly more attractive to clinicians who are required to score the data, and to the clients who are required to complete it, due to a reduction in the time required. Second, the DER-R ability to detect change over-time and post-intervention indicates that it can also be used as an outcome measure.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Psicologia apresentada à Faculdade de Psicologia e de Ciências da EducaçãoObjectives: The current study aims to explore if mindful parenting is associated with adolescents’ emotional regulation difficulties and if this relationship is mediated by adolescents' self-compassion. Method: The sample comprised 361 dyads from the general population, composed of mothers and their respective children (aged 12-19). The sample was collected in two school units from the district of Coimbra and all participants completed self-report measures. Mothers completed the Interpersonal Mindfulness in Parenting Scale and adolescents completed the Self-compassion Scale - Short Version- and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale – Short Version. Results: An indirect effect of mindful parenting on adolescents’ emotional regulation difficulties through adolescents' self-compassion was found. Specifically, higher levels of mindful parenting were associated with lower levels of emotional regulation difficulties, through higher levels of self-compassion. In addition, an indirect effect of the compassion for the child dimension on adolescents' emotional regulation difficulties through their self-compassion was observed. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that adolescents’ self-compassion is an important explanatory mechanism of the relationship between mindful parenting and adolescents' emotional regulation difficulties. This study underlines the importance of intervening with mothers through parental training programs that promote mindful parenting, especially the compassion for the child dimension. This type of approach could have a positive impact on adolescents' self-compassion and, consequently, on their emotional regulation.
Objetivos: O presente estudo tem como objetivo explorar se a parentalidade mindful está associada às dificuldades de regulação emocional dos adolescentes e se esta relação é mediada pela autocompaixão dos adolescentes. Métodos: A amostra incluiu 361 díades da população geral, constituídas por mães e respetivos filhos, com idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 19 anos. A amostra foi recolhida em dois agrupamentos escolares do distrito de Coimbra e todos os participantes completaram instrumentos de autorresposta. As mães completaram a Escala de Mindfulness Interpessoal na Parentalidade e os adolescentes preencheram a Escala da Autocompaixão - Versão Breve- e a Escala de Dificuldades na Regulação Emocional -Versão Breve. Resultados: Foi encontrado um efeito indireto da parentalidade mindful nas dificuldades de regulação emocional dos adolescentes através da autocompaixão dos adolescentes. Concretamente, verificou-se que níveis mais elevados de parentalidade mindful estavam associados a níveis mais baixos de dificuldades de regulação emocional, através de níveis mais elevados de autocompaixão. Para além disso, foi também observado um efeito indireto da dimensão Compaixão pela Criança nas dificuldades de regulação emocional dos adolescentes, através da autocompaixão dos mesmos. Conclusões: Os resultados encontrados sugerem que a autocompaixão dos adolescentes constitui um importante mecanismo explicativo da relação entre a parentalidade mindful e as dificuldades de regulação emocional dos adolescentes. Este estudo sublinha a importância de intervir junto das mães através de programas de treino parental que promovam a parentalidade mindful, especialmente, a dimensão Compaixão pela Criança. Consequetemente, este tipo de abordagem poderá ter impacto positivo na autocompaixão dos adolescentes e, consequentemente, na regulação emocional dos mesmos.

O presente estudo assume como hipótese teórica que a sintomatologia
psicopatológica e as dificuldades de regulação emocional dos progenitores influenciam
negativamente a vinculação dos adolescentes ao pai e à mãe.
De acordo com a literatura crianças expostas a pais com sintomatologia
psicopatológica mostram-se mais vulneráveis ao desenvolvimento de um estilo de
vinculação inseguro/desorganizado (Madigan, Bakermans-Kranenburg, Van IJzendoorn,
Moran, Pederson, & Benoit, 2006), ocorrendo o mesmo perante a exposição a um
sistema de prestação de cuidados adverso (Madigan et. al., 2006). De igual forma, as
diversas estratégias de regulação emocional têm sido apontadas como fatores de risco
ou de proteção, para o desenvolvimento de psicopatologia (Duarte, 2014). A presente
investigação pretendeu analisar o efeito preditor da sintomatologia psicopatológica e das
dificuldades de regulação emocional dos progenitores ao nível das dimensões de
representação da vinculação ao pai e à mãe de adolescentes sinalizados numa CPCJ. A
amostra envolveu 67 adolescentes (36 do género masculino e 31 do género feminino),
com idades compreendidas entre os 13 e os 18 anos de idade, e respetivos progenitores
(67 pais e 67 mães), com idades entre os 31 e 56 anos. O estudo recorreu aos
instrumentos de autorrelato, Questionário de Vinculação ao Pai e à Mãe (QVPM;
Matos & Costa, 2001), o Inventário de Sintomas Psicopatológicos (BSI; Canavarro,
1999), e por último, à Escala de Dificuldades de Regulação Emocional (EDRE;
Coutinho, Ribeiro, Ferreirinha, & Dias, 2010).
Os resultados demonstraram que os scores obtidos pelos progenitores nas
subescalas falta de consciência emocional e falta de clareza emocional da EDRE se
encontram significativamente associadas às dimensões da vinculação dos adolescentes
(inibição da exploração e individualidade e qualidade do laço emocional na relação de
vinculação do jovem à mãe). Relativamente à influência da sintomatologia
psicopatológica dos progenitores nas representações de vinculação dos adolescentes
verificou-se uma associação marginalmente significativa nas dimensões ansiedade,
ideação paranóide e hostilidade de ambos os progenitores nas diferentes dimensões do
QVPM, embora sem efeito preditor identificado. Conclui-se que, mais do que a sintomatologia psicopatológica, a capacidade de regulação emocional dos progenitores assume um impacto na predição do desenvolvimento de uma vinculação segura dos adolescentes e, consequentemente, um
desenvolvimento adaptativo.This study takes as a theoretical hypothesis that the psychopathological symptoms and difficulties in emotional regulation of parents have a negative influence in the attachment relationship of adolescents towards them. According to literature children exposed to parents with psychopathological symptoms are prone to show additional vulnerability to developing an insecure/disorganized attachment style (Madigan, Bakermans-Kranenburg, Van IJzendoorn, Moran, Pederson, & Benoit, 2006), the same occurring in cases of exposure to an adverse providing care system (Madigan et. al., 2006). Similarly, various strategies of emotion regulation have been identified as risk or protective factors for the development of psychopathology (Duarte, 2014). This investigation purpose to analyze the predictive effect of psychopathological symptoms as well as the difficulties in emotional regulation of parents regarding attachment representation dimensions towards the parents (mother and father, separately) of adolescents signaled in CPCJ. The sample involved 67 adolescents (36 males and 31 females), aged between 13 and 18, as well as their parents (67 fathers and 67 mothers), aged between 31 and 56 years. In order to attain the necessary data, self-report instruments were applied - Attachment Questionnaire to the Father and Mother (QVPM; Matos & Costa, 2001), the Psychopathological Symptom Inventory (BSI; Canavarro, 1999), and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (EDRE; Coutinho, Ribeiro, Ferreirinha, & Dias, 2010). The results have shown that the scores obtained on the EDRE subscales lack of emotional awareness and lack of clarity from both parents are significantly related to adolescents’ attachment towards them (inhibition of exploration and individuality and quality of emotional bond on the attachment relationship of the adolescent to the mother). Regarding the parents’ psychopathological symptoms influence in adolescents’ attachment representations, a marginally significant association in their anxiety levels, paranoid ideation and hostility from both parents has been further found in the different QVPM dimensions, but without effect preditor identified. On the whole, it is apparent that the ability of parents’ emotion regulation assumes an impact in predicting the development of a consistent and secure attachment from adolescents (towards their patents) than their parents’ psychopathological symptoms and, therefore, an adaptive development.

Dissertação de mestrado integrado em PsicologiaIntrodução: Os ferimentos autoinfligidos sem intenção suicida (Non-Suicidal Self-Injury-NSSI) são comportamentos relativamente frequentes em universitários e parecem estar associados a maior psicopatologia alimentar, dificuldades de regulação emocional, menor resiliência e autocompaixão. Objetivos: Comparamos três grupos de estudantes universitários (sem história, com história passada e com história recente de NSSI) relativamente a diferentes variáveis e avaliamos o papel preditor destas e de variáveis sociodemográficas/clínicas nos NSSI e o efeito moderador de algumas destas variáveis na relação entre sintomatologia psicopatológica alimentar e NSSI. Método: Trezentos e oitenta e cinco participantes foram avaliados através de instrumentos de autorrelato. Resultados: Noventa participantes (23.4%) relataram a presença de NSSI. Os grupos com história de NSSI reportaram maior sintomatologia psicopatológica alimentar, dificuldade de regulação emocional e menor resiliência e autocompaixão que o grupo sem história de NSSI. O grupo com história recente apresentou os menores níveis de resiliência e autocompaixão. Foram preditores de NSSI, a história de psicopatologia, sintomatologia psicopatológica alimentar e autocompaixão, e moderadores da relação entre sintomatologia psicopatologógica alimentar e NSSI, a resiliência e autocompaixão. Discussão: Intervenções para NSSI devem promover a regulação emocional adaptativa, resiliência e autocompaixão, dado que estas parecem promover a diminuição ou cessação destes comportamentos.
Introduction: Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) are behaviors relatively frequent among college students and seem to be associated to higher eating psychopathology, difficulties in emotion regulation and to lower resilience and self-compassion. Objectives: We compared three groups of college students (with no history, with past-history and with recent-history of NSSI) regarding different variables and evaluated the predicting role of this variables and of sociodemographic/clinical variables on NSSI and the moderating effect of some of these variables in the relationship between eating disorder symptomatology and NSSI. Method: Three hundred and eighty-five participants were evaluated through self-report measures. Results: Ninety participants (23.4%) reported the presence of NSSI. The groups with history of NSSI reported higher eating disorder symptomatology, difficulty in emotion regulation and lower resilience and self-compassion than the group without history of NSSI. The group with recent-history presented the lowest levels of resilience and self-compassion. The predictors of NSSI were history of psychopathology, eating disorder symptomatology and self-compassion and the moderators of the relationship between eating disorder symptomatology and NSSI were resilience and self-compassion. Discussion: Interventions for NSSI should promote adaptive emotion regulation, resilience and selfcompassion, since they seem to promote the reduction or cessation of this behaviors.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships among effectiveness of negative mood regulation, coping strategies on children's learning difficulties, and experiences of negative emotion. This study adopts questionnaires collected from mothers of Taipei junior high school students with learning disabilities. The valid samples are 171 mothers. The results show that, first of all, mothers think that they have a middle level of effectiveness of negative mood regulation. They sometimes use problem-solving and escape tendency coping strategies, but use emotion-focused coping strategies not very often on children's learning difficulties. When thinking of children's learning difficulties, mothers do not highly frequently feel negative emotion, but sometimes still induce sad emotion. Secondly, mothers’ effectiveness of negative mood regulation and their negative emotion are significantly negatively correlated; mothers’ emotion-focused coping strategies show significantly negatively correlated with their sad, disappointed and shameful emotions .However, mothers’ problem-solving coping strategies and their sad emotion are significantly positively correlated. Thirdly, there are significant effects of ability on mothers’ effectiveness of negative mood regulation and problem-solving coping strategies toward experiences of negative emotion. If having higher effectiveness of negative mood regulation, mothers feel less frequency of negative emotion, but when using problem-solving coping strategies more frequently on children's learning difficulties, mothers feel higher frequency of negative emotion. Finally, there are significant interactive effects of mothers’ effectiveness of negative mood regulation and problem-solving coping strategies on experiences of negative emotion.

relevante investigar ligações entre fatores que possam estar implicados na PTSD.
Uma publicação recente enfatiza a relevância da Perspetiva do Tempo nas estratégias
de tratamento da PTSD. Também pesquisas recentes sugerem que as Dificuldades de
Regulação Emocional pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento, manutenção e
exacerbação de PTSD entre os toxicodependentes. É nosso objetivo avaliar a
importância dos constructos estudados, a fim de integrá-los, se justificável, no
programa de tratamento terapêutico.
Amostra constituída por 72 toxicodependentes em tratamento numa Comunidade
Terapêutica que receberam um questionário composto por uma secção
sociodemográfica e as versões Portuguesas do ZTPI-R, TFTPS, IPT-Subescala Futuro

A frequência dos participantes com resultados IES-R acima do valor de corte (35) foi
de 71%. As dimensões da Perspetiva de Tempo, em particular, Perspetivas Passadas,
em regressão múltipla predizem 35,5% da IES-R. Além disso, as Dificuldades de
Regulação Emocional revelaram-se de grande importância, o modelo que inclui as
dificuldades de Clareza Emocional e de Estratégias apresenta R² = .343.
Adicionalmente, são observadas várias correlações significativas entre Pós-Stress

Tempo. Os resultados presentes suportam a existência de efeitos pervasivos sobre a
forma como estes pacientes consideram suas experiências passadas e colocam em
evidência a necessidade realizar a triagem da PTSD na avaliação de rotina, bem como
a relevância da Perspetiva de Tempo e das Dificuldades de Regulação Emocional no
momento da definição do tratamento. Given the clinical relevance of the co-occurrence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD) among substance abusers in treatment, as well as the fact that PTSD is
frequently underdiagnosed in this population, becomes relevant to research
connections between factors that may be implicated in PTSD. A recent publication
highlights the relevance of Time Perspective in PTSD treatment strategies. Also, recent
research suggests that Emotion Regulation Difficulties may contribute to the
development, maintenance, and exacerbation of PTSD among substance abusers. We
aim to assess the importance of the studied constructs in order to integrate them, if
justifiable, in the therapeutic program treatment.
Sample composed by 72 substance abusers being treated in a Therapeutic
Community, who received a questionnaire composed by a socio demographic section
and the Portuguese versions of the ZTPI-R, TFTPS, IPT-Negative Future Subscale,
DERS and IES-R.
The frequency of participants with IES-R results above the cutoff value (35) was 71%.
Time Perspective dimensions, in particular, Past Perspectives, on stepwise multiple
regression predict 35.5% of IES-R. Furthermore, Emotional Regulation Difficulties have
also revealed of high importance, Emotional Clarity and Strategies model has R² =
.343. In addition, several significant correlations between Post Traumatic Stress,
Emotional Regulation Difficulties and Time Perspective dimensions are observed.
Present findings support the existence of pervasive effects on how these patients
consider their past experiences and put in evidence the need to perform screening of
PTSD in routine assessment, as well as the relevance of Time Perspective and
Difficulties in Emotion Regulation, when defining treatment.Orientação: Professor Doutor José Carlos Rocha

Dissertação de mestrado integrado em PsicologiaO presente estudo procurou identificar variáveis que pudessem predizer a força da associação entre gravidade da perturbação do comportamento alimentar (PCA) e o comprometimento funcional, na Anorexia Nervosa (AN). Assim, examinou a duração da PCA e o índice de massa corporal (IMC) como possíveis moderadores dessa relação, bem como a dificuldade na regulação emocional e o sofrimento psicológico como possíveis mediadores. Para além disso, explorou as diferenças no comprometimento funcional entre os subtipos na AN, idade e tempo de doença. A amostra é composta por 110 indivíduos, com diagnóstico de AN, idades compreendidas entre os 13 e os 53 anos, recrutados em duas unidades especializadas em PCA em Portugal. Foi utilizado o macro PROCESS (v3.5) para SPSS (2020) de forma a testar os modelos de mediação e moderação. Os resultados identificaram a dificuldade na regulação emocional e sofrimento psicológico como mediadores significativos da relação entre gravidade da PCA e comprometimento funcional e o IMC como moderador significativo. Assim, este estudo pretende contribuir para a identificação de possíveis fatores preditivos no comprometimento funcional em indivíduos com patologia que poderão ter utilidade para fins terapêuticos.
The present study aims to identify variables that predicted the strength of the association between eating disorders (ED) severity and impairment in Anorexia Nervosa (AN). To make possible this objective, it was examined the duration of the ED and the body mass index (BMI) as possible moderators of this relationship, as well the emotional regulation difficulty and psychological distress as possible mediators. In addition, it was explored the differences in impairment between subtypes in anorexia nervosa, age and ED duration. The sample contains 110 individuals, diagnosed with AN, aged between 13 and 53 years old, recruited from two units specialized in ED in Portugal. The macro PROCESS (v3.5) for SPSS (2020) was used in order to test the mediation and moderation models. The results reveal the difficulty in emotional regulation and psychological distress as significant mediators of the relationship between ED severity and impairment and BMI as a significant moderator. This study attempts to contribute to the identification of possible predictive factors of impairment in individuals with pathology that may be useful for therapeutic means.
