Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders often have atypical emotion profiles, but little is known about how they regulate their emotions. While several studies have examined emotion regulation strategy use in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), only a few have included individuals with intellectual disability (ID) or focused on specific syndromes such as Williams syndrome (WS).
UNASSIGNED: A parent-reported survey launched during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic allowed to exploratorily study emotion regulation strategy use and its link to anxiety in individuals with ASD with (N=785) and without ID (N=596), WS (N=261), and Intellectual Disability not otherwise specified (N=649).
UNASSIGNED: Using multilevel analyses, besides revealing specific group differences in emotion regulation strategy use, a variety of strategies (e.g., rumination, avoiding information, repetitive behaviors) were found to be linked to elevated levels of anxiety, while focusing on the positive was linked to lower anxiety levels in all groups. Moreover, only autistic people without ID used humor more frequently while experiencing lower anxiety levels.
UNASSIGNED: This study sheds light on an underexplored area of emotion regulation strategy use in different neurodevelopmental disorders. It also paves the way to further examine emotion regulation in more rigorous ways to better understand emotion regulation in different neurodevelopmental disorders as well as the impact on outcome measures such as anxiety. This exploratory study may help to develop and validate adequate measures to study a broad array of ER strategies used by individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders.
摘要:
未经证实:患有神经发育障碍的人通常具有非典型的情绪特征,但人们对他们如何调节情绪知之甚少。虽然一些研究已经检查了自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)中情绪调节策略的使用,只有少数人包括智力障碍(ID)患者或关注特定综合征,如威廉姆斯综合征(WS).
UNASSIGNED:在COVID-19大流行的头几个月发起的一项家长报告调查允许探索性研究患有ASD的个体的情绪调节策略使用及其与焦虑的联系(N=785)和没有ID(N=596),WS(N=261),和智力残疾没有另有规定(N=649)。
未经评估:使用多级分析,除了揭示情绪调节策略使用的特定群体差异外,各种策略(例如,沉思,避免信息,重复行为)被发现与焦虑水平升高有关,而专注于阳性与所有组的较低焦虑水平有关。此外,只有没有身份证的自闭症患者在经历较低的焦虑水平时更频繁地使用幽默。
UNASSIGNED:本研究揭示了情绪调节策略在不同神经发育障碍中的应用不足。它还为以更严格的方式进一步检查情绪调节铺平了道路,以更好地理解不同神经发育障碍的情绪调节以及对焦虑等结果指标的影响。这项探索性研究可能有助于开发和验证适当的措施,以研究神经发育障碍患者使用的广泛的ER策略。
