Emotion Regulation - Science topic

Hiii.. were you able to reach the authors ? I am also in the same boat, need to get permission from the authors before using it in my thesis. Pls let me know how you contacted them?

There is a good dissertation on the subject and countless publications on the Internet. Please refer

You could try assigning user-defined starting values to the factor loadings that have the desired sign. In the lavaan package, this is done as described on the website below:

Reliability, commitment to honesty, disinclination towards the adoption of deceptive means to achieve goals, and fairness displayed in the treatment of others could be some key indicators to judge someone's trustworthiness. Trusting someone could have an overall positive effect on the mental state, as the confidant here becomes a positive space where one could unburden oneself of stressful thoughts.

Hi Michale,

You can find from the following links:

Good evening! Sometimes what you are looking for is included with the article. If you know who created the instrument, you can look him/her up and find what you need. Another option is to contact the person who created the instrument, if you have his/her name. Finally, you can request the article, for example through Springer or similar type source.

good luck dear

1) Perceived Stress Scale PSS (attached): 

The MAIN issue here is that your quest to FIX this is bad science. It sounds like you are trying do what you can to achieve p < .05. This is called p-fishing and is one of the major reasons why there is a replication crisis, which is one reason for the distrust in science among many, and why many people in some countries support people who make decisions counter to science (e.g., political leaders not wearing masks). I am not saying that you are solely responsible for these global concerns or that are doing this with intent.

Emotion regulation, the ability to control emotional experiences and expressions, is essential for positive adaption across the lifespan. Individual and contextual factors contribute to emotion-regulation variance between and within different age groups. Individual factors include, for example, genetic dispositions and neurobiological vulnerabilities. Contextual factors involve opportunities to learn about and practice emotion regulation. In infancy and childhood, the family is especially important for assisting in regulating and teaching about emotions. During adolescence, physiological and socioemotional changes can contribute to transient instability in emotion regulation. Throughout adulthood, favorable average well-being trajectories co-occur with increases in pro-hedonic motivation. Emotion-regulation abilities are maintained into old age, but towards the end of life, stressors may overtax individuals' emotion-regulation capacity. This chapter reviews key developmental theories and empirical findings on emotion regulation in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. It also highlights shortcomings and gaps in the available knowledge and points towards future research directions.

The roots of emotional intelligence (EI) stem from the notion of social intelligence. Thorndike (in Intelligence and its uses. Harper’s Mag 140:227–335, 1920) regarded EI via the lens of social intelligence, stating that social intelligence is the capability to empathize with others and perform sensibly in human relationships (see Goleman in Working with emotional intelligence. Bantam Books, New York, 1998). Nonetheless, his opinions were not greatly welcomed until years later. Emotional thought was viewed to be in the domain of intelligence.

Hi Robert

My one student is conducting research on role of family factors on juvenile delinquent behavior in Pakistan. I wonder how much your instrument will be helpful in using it in the field.

What is your sample size?

Dear Edouard Giudicelli

It has taken me a while to fathom the nature of your question. Here is a definition of emotional contagion from one of the papers Stephen Cheung mentions:

"Emotional contagion has been defined as “the tendency to automatically mimic and synchronize expressions, vocalizations, postures and movements with those of another person’s and, consequently, to converge emotionally” (Hatfield et al)

Another way of saying this is mirroring - this can be deliberate or automatic. Often when one does it deliberately, it can lower emotional tension as the person feels heard. When this happens, the emotional quality of the situation is often reversed.

Let me give you an example: a friend of mine who is the person who admits emergency cases in a children's hospital. One evening a man came in and when he heard there was a long queue for the doctor, he got very cross. My friends, instead of saying you should not be cross, said: "I see you are cross and I can understand it - you are very concerned about the health of your child and having to wait to see the doctor is very difficult for you" . With this, the man started to cry ...his emotion has been mirrored and accepted with no judgment. This changed the atmosphere in the room, and all realized they were all under tension as they were all concerned about their children and it was OK - that is how things were at that moment.

Warm regards Tina

thanks to everyone for their enriching suggestions.

Done

There are many books out there on the control of emotion. Work I did years ago delineated how the training of combat soldiers had such an effect.

Is there any data on oxytocin levels changing through the lifespan? Do they go down with age like testosterone levels (after puberty)?

Dear Hengki Wijaya,

In my opinion, this is the sociobiological effect of the evolutionary processes, i.e. it is a trait in some sense atavistic that we inherited from our ancestors from thousands and millions of years ago.

Best wishes

Every therapeutic tool has to be adapted to each patient and his/her personality traits. As a psychotherapist you should to decide which exactly tool you will apply. In general, every ER strategy is good but you have to ensure that a strategy you choose is good-enough-effective for this specific patient and his/her personal needs

Thank you!!!

Vladimir A. Kulchitsky - thank you for the recommendation. Emotional Prosody is quite interesting, and I'll read carefully though it may be too far a stretch for emotion regulation.

Hi Natalie,

Maybe this will provide some insight:

Have a great day!

--Adrian

If you feel that readers might potentially be distracted by the use of negative and positive in the same sentence (I did not find it distracting), a suggestion I have is to employ synonyms for "negative" with regard to SF (e.g., using "constructive" rather than negative) and with regard to negative emotions you might describe them as "unpleasant" or "dysphoric" rather than "negative." I do not see anything inherently wrong with describing a statistical correlation as "positive" but bear in mind that a "positive" correlation can be weak or strong. I hope that my response is helpful.

completed the survey, All the best.

Thank you so much everyone! I am really grateful to all of you!!!

Best of luck Adiya! My best input would have been to add an open eded item for qualitative data & analysis...

Done..al d best dear💐

I suspect in those cases where neglect and abuse occurred in childhood that the damage was complex. And I further suspect that the young mind struggled to make sense of the treatment they endured. I would think that the 'core problem' would relate more to the manners in which the person would try to cope and function over the coming years. What further and deeper damage occurs when the individual uses unhealthy ways to exist and avoid more pain?

i would recommend PROCESS software for SPSS, it's free. you can test both your hypothesis there

There are two approaches to cutpoints. The first, as noted, is statistical. You define quantiles of the distribution. These depend on your interest. If you want to define people with a problem you might cut off the worst 10%, while if you wanted to define people with a significant psychological resource you might take the highest 10%, or 20%. 

The second approach is to use an external criterion. If you had depression ratings, for example, you could classify scores based on the probability of being significantly depressed. 

So the purpose of your classification – the theoretical model informing your work – is very important. And whether or not you have some external criterion against which to calibrate the scores. 

Hi Ali,

I have previously used this scale and there are no well-established cut-off points for this scale. I would recommend where possible to not reduce the sensitivity of the measurement by changing interval data into categorical data.

Best wishes,

Tom

 Hi Jade, not sure if this is of any help with your research but if not already, might be worth checking out this research study http://www.hungrymindlab.com/moo-q/ and the company that help built the app: http://www.psyt.co.uk/research 

Good luck with your work. N

Perhaps I can help.  Got this reference about minimum time lapse for test and retest  using pencil-paper instruments (also applicable to pretest and post-test ) from:

An Introduction to Educational Assessment, Measurement and Evaluation ,2nd Edition (2008), Authors: Gavin Brown, Earl Irving and Peter Keegan..   Pearson Prentice Hall

Rosedale, North Shore, New Zealand (ISBN: 978-1-4425-0069-30

In page 82,  ..  the authors wrote .. concerning time to time comparison (test -retest ) for estimating relaiblity ...

' Do people get the same score on a test at time 1 and time 2? ...  If there is no learning from practice, no recall of responses from the first time and no fatigue from repeating a test, then the true ability should not have changed. Thus scores should be very similar across repeated administration of the test. COMMONLY IF WE REPEAT A TEST SOMEWHERE  BETWEEN 3 TO 6 WEEKS STUDENTS SHOULD NOT HAVE LEARNED MUCH NOR REMEMBERED HOW THEY ANSWERED THE FIRST TIME.  

From my interpretation of the test above, even though, in the duration of 3 to 6 weeks, students would have forgotten nearly all of the pretest questions and answers to replicate the same answers  in the post-test, 

my opinion is,  it is safer ( to defend  yourself in a VIVA)  to  do it after 6 weeks has elapsed . eg. if if you conducted a pretest on the 2nd day of the first week of research, then  the post-test can be done on the 2nd day of the 7th week of research.  This gives researchers using an interventionist /treatment programme a minimum 6-week period to do their intervention/ treatment .

Hope what I am writing is relevant to the your questions. 

We use the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire by Gross & John (2003). I've added the link below. There is a version of this scale for adolescents and children also.

Dear Rodney,First, please do not confuse heart-rate variability and vagal tone. They are different things, although under very circumscribed conditions, the former is sometimes a reasonably accurate marker of the latter (and only cardiac vagal tone, not general vagal tone, at that); please look at my comments and other ResearchGate traces for clarification.  Secondly, can you more precisely define what you mean by beat-to-beat latency? It is true that cardiac parasympathetic effects upon the heart are much quicker than sympathetically, but this is the basis for HRV respiratory sinus arrhythmia spectral calculations. 

Dear all,

Many thanks for answer this question and provide me good information!

Kind regards

Thank You Pat !

I believe that you would have to operationally define "bottomline" before proceeding to search for standardized scales. If you are chiefly concerned with  net earnings, then correlating net earnings with an appropriate sample of employees who have completed job satisfaction scales may be an avenue for you to pursue emotional regulation. Could you define "bottomline" with more veracity? 

Hi Andi! thanks a lot for your detailed answer! We have been analyzing startle EMG data with Acqknowledge with a very similar analysis routine but using a time constant of 20 ms for integrating raw orbicular EMG, and it worked out quite well. Do you still believe that 10 ms is better for data acquired using this software? We are using a portable Biopac MP36R. Thanks again!

Do you also take into respect cultural differences? I would be interessted to learn more about that issue. Best. Christoph

Hi Rachael,

At this time, I have not been able to obtain an English version.  The Test of Early Math Abilities, Third Edition seems to be similar in some aspects in the description.  I am still looking for an English version. 

I agree. It is a cry for help and not knowing how to handle this situation. we are planning a new training with employees of the same company and will keep you posted. 

Hello Abel Lerma 

please check the links related to your topic

There is a theory that states humans can be in a state of mixed or dialectical emotions - Wilken and Miyamoto have a comprehensive article that covers its origins, how positive and negative emotions have been mainly measured differently, and how research has developed towards measuring emotions of opposite valence (e.g., happy and sad) at the same time can occur.  They state that positive and negative emotions can co-exist in harmony and occur simultaneously, better known as the concept of dialecticism, which was first introduced by Peng and Nisbett (1999). 

There's also research that suggests a correlation between positive and negative emotions.  Check out Tugade and Fredrickson (2004) and their reference page for help: http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/psp/86/2/320/

Dear Riddhi,

that is an interesting topic. If you are also interested in risk taking resulting in road accidents in adolescents, you could have an interest for the attached paper.

Hope it is useful.

Hi Zeinab, both Nils and Julio offer some good standard measures. They are well used and valid. If you are not using them in English, you do need to be careful about possible linguistic or cultural factors that might affect results. Checking them through exploratory factor analysis, Cronbach's alphas, etc. can ensure the scales and all items functioned adequately.

 Dear Beatrice,

Thank you for your informative answer.

I wrote a blog post on the results (link below) and uploaded videos of the participants coupled with the gameplay. Although, it looks promising, I need another experimental design to elicit fear down-regulation explicitly in subjects to come to a extensive conclusion.

Good advice from Stephen.

Other options is that trying variable selection using the Lasso if you have a lot of features (variables) and no prior information is available.

If you are worrying about the multicollinearity, use the elastic net instead of the Lasso. It can take care of this problem. If you want to read more about it, I recommend to go to the book "An introduction to statistical learning with application in R" which is freely available online. The authors also have online course on Coursera which is very nice.

Hope it help.

P/s: I also used the Lasso, the elastic net for variable selection in my problem. You can work well in R. Many online document about this is available.

As is apparent in the replies to your question, there are both a variety of definitions of meditation and a variety of meditation techniques.

Two respected researchers' names I'm not seeing so far mentioned are:

-- Richard Davidson, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, whose work (primarily in the area of brain-imaging) has largely examined Tibetan Buddhist meditation techniques. One summary of his work is here:

-- Willoughby Britton, at Brown University, who has done studies with Vipassana and mindfulness (including work looking at some of the difficult, "negative" experiences that meditators sometimes have). A select listing of her work is here:

Both Davidson and Britton also have TED talks and other videos online.

Britton's Research Gate profile is here:

.

And there are increasingly many books and studies on applied uses of mindfulness and meditation in, for example, psychotherapy. Two books I happen to have on my desk at the moment are:

Mind in the Balance: Meditation in Science, Buddhism, & Christianity, by B. Alan Wallace (244 pages)

Clinical Handbook of Mindfulness, ed. by Fabrizio Didonna (523 pages)

Thank you all for your links and hints! I just developed some items on fear of height, because it seems to be no such scale in German language (although in english).

Measureing fear of snake I found the SNAQ.

ECT can cause not just transient but long term memory problems; but it also can save lives and, as expertly discussed above, prevent the impact of untreated depression. 

Non dominant hemisphere unilateral ECT causes less memory problems than bilateral.

While more studies are needed to establish efficacy/safety, hopefully we will have more affordable and accessible TMS, as well as rapid acting antidepressants based on the ability of ketamine to cause rapid amelioration of depression. 

This is a good program that children can complete at home. It's from Phil Kendall, referenced in some previous responses. I believe there is also an analog for older children.

Yes Susan

Hi,

Just to follow up on this, our team has been working on newer measures too, liked below. Do get in touch for more information.

Dear Louisa, 

Former colleagues of mine developed naturalistic video-based tasks to measure (and train) emotion-related mentalizing. Might be of interest for you. 

Best, Stefan 

Can you please elaborate a bit more on what it is you're looking for in these fields?  Any particular topics? You might find Sonja Lyubomirsky's research on happiness interesting.

Hope these papers are helpful. At least give you some points. Enjoy your reading

Dear Rebecca,

Very interesting question for us. We are working in normalization of the affective words originally translated by Hinojosa. Our normalization is being held in México with the affective words in spanish, we are measuring emotion-attention interference.

I am now attaching the affective-word database that we are using, the words are both, spanish and english. We built up out attention-emotion model using SuperLab, based on the Stroop effect.

Hope this can be useful.

Best regards.

You can go on their website through which will get its details . As few years back we have its downloaded version.

Many thanks Beatrice.

Hi, Aude,

I don't know if this can help you, but my last paper (2015) present a method to show hybris (hubris). Teachers becomes conscious of their narcissism by empathic survey, filled by their pupils and them, (It is in my profile, but I attach).

Change in residence and change in living conditions rank pretty high in the Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale of life events that produce distress. The effect of size would, I think, depend on its symbolic meaning - smaller size  a sign of declining social status perhaps for some or of children leaving home for good; for others small size may be welcomed - less to clean, fewer house guests, an opportunity to get rid of useless baggage........

The most comperhensive review perhaps is by Adrian and others. 

Hello Hani,

This is an interesting area that the nurses at the Surgical unit discussed in their Nursing Journal Club months ago. They've discussed the same review article that Abdulqadir attached for you.

They were thinking to conduct an Evidence-based project to look for literature to allievate pre-surgical stresses. Interestingly, the issue raised after observing high blood pressure readings and taccycardia the night before surgey.

There is many feasable interventions that can be done such as (1) pre-operative structured visits the night before the surgery; (2)  Patients' round to Operation theatre before surgey. The latest might be argumentative, however there might be a turn around in bringing the theatre to them :) such as providing a friendly-booklet with real pictures and discription of the operation theatre environment.
