Abstract:
Personality pathology is associated with emotional problems that are potentially attributable to problematic emotion regulation strategy patterns. We evaluated the emotion regulation strategies associated with the pathological personality traits in the Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD). A total of 504 participants completed measures of AMPD traits and strategy usage, which were analyzed using hierarchical regressions and latent profile analysis (LPA). Regression results demonstrated that each trait was associated with a unique strategy pattern: negative affect with emotional overengagement, detachment with socialemotional avoidance, antagonism with emotional externalization/avoidance, disinhibition with emotional avoidance and overengagement, and psychoticism with strategies linked to psychotic/dissociative experiences. The LPA identified three profiles with heightened AMPD traits: an internalizing/distressed profile, an externalizing/distressed profile, and a schizoid-schizotypal profile; each had a unique strategy pattern that varied depending on trait composition. This research highlights the relevance of emotion regulation strategy patterns in the assessment, conceptualization, and treatment of personality pathology.
摘要:
人格病理学与情绪问题有关,这些情绪问题可能归因于有问题的情绪调节策略模式。我们评估了人格障碍替代模型(AMPD)中与病理性人格特质相关的情绪调节策略。共有504名参与者完成了AMPD特征和策略使用的测量,使用分层回归和潜在轮廓分析(LPA)进行分析。回归结果表明,每个特质都与独特的策略模式相关:情绪过度管理的负面影响,超脱与社会情感回避,与情感外化/回避的对抗,抑制与情绪回避和过度管理,以及与精神病/分离经历相关的策略。LPA确定了三个具有增强的AMPD特征的概况:内在化/不良概况,外化/痛苦的轮廓,和分裂样-分裂型谱;每个人都有独特的策略模式,根据性状组成而有所不同。本研究强调了情绪调节策略模式在评估中的相关性,概念化,和人格病理学的治疗。
