RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho foi a construção inicial do Teste Informatizado de Inteligência Emocional para o Trabalho (TIIET) composto pelos testes de percepção (TPET), compreensão (TCET) e gerenciamento emocional (TGET). O estudo foi dividido em três fases: 1. operacionalização dos itens; 2. análises dos itens por juízes especialistas; 3. análise semântica. Considerando os índices Kappa (análise de juízes especialistas) e IVC (análise semântica), bem como as melhorias qualitativas realizadas via sugestões dos especialistas e público-alvo, alcançados ao longo das três fases de construção do TIIET, é possível identificar resultados positivos de evidência de validade de conteúdo. Assim, após a realização das etapas tem-se uma versão inicial de um instrumento de desempenho máximo para avaliação da IE no contexto organizacional, baseado no modelo da IE como habilidade cognitiva. Esse resultado qualifica o TIIET para ser testado quanto às demais evidências de validade.

In the scientific literature, it is emphasised that it is essential to address challenging negative behaviours in the classroom in order to maintain a conducive learning environment. This article aimed to describe oppositional negative behaviours in Salvadoran secondary school students, in order to make suggestions for prevention and intervention in school violence. The type of research was mixed, with a concurrent triangulation design (DITRIAC) and an exploratory-descriptive scope. In the quantitative phase, a survey was applied to 148 students (52.7% female and 47.3% male). In the qualitative phase, an in-depth interview was conducted with four principals and two psychologists. The results indicate that the students presented disrespectful behaviours towards teachers and classmates, as well as resentful and vengeful attitudes. Both the principals and the psychologists point out that these behaviours extend to the use of social networks, where students publish offensive and threatening content regarding their peers and authority figures. The practical implications of the findings are discussed, and it is concluded that it is essential to promote psychoeducational interventions with an emphasis on the development of emotional regulation strategies that enable the reduction of oppositional behaviours and the prevention of school violence.

As funções executivas (FE) e a regulação emocional (RE) estão associadas à base dos desenvolvimentos cognitivo e socioemocional de crianças. Em vista da corrente de intervenções neuropsicológicas em FE, o presente estudo buscou investigar se uma intervenção de FE (programa PENcE) seria equivalente, superior ou inferior em relação à intervenção de FE em conjunto com estratégias de RE (programas PENcE e REPENcE) no desempenho executivo, emocional e escolar de alunos do Ensino Fundamental I que foram submetidos a programas de desempenho exclusivamente focados nas FE (PENcE) versus programa misto de FE e RE (PENcE+REPENcE) versus controles. Participaram 111 crianças, dividida em três grupos: grupo 1 recebeu uma intervenção mista com os programas PENcE e REPENcE, grupo 2 realizou somente o PENcE, e grupo 3 foi o grupo controle (currículo escolar). O grupo submetido à intervenção mista apresentou na avaliação pós-intervenção desempenho superior em um maior número de domínios, como, iniciação, velocidade de processamento, consciência corporal, e comunicação das emoções. Deste modo, percebe-se que um programa focado em habilidades de RE pode potencializar e incrementar os desfechos de um programa de estimulação cognitiva exclusivamente de FE.

Introduction: In health professionals, skills that allow them to deal with their own emotions and those of others guarantee the quality of care provided and an effective therapeutic relationship. Hence, they are fundamental for nurses, namely for those who work in family health units. Objective: To analyze the relationship between the emotional competence of nurses working in family health units in a group of health centers in the north of Portugal and their sociodemographic and professional characteristics. Method: Quantitative methodology, of the transversal descriptive-correlational type. Data collected through an electronic questionnaire that consisted of two parts: sociodemographic and professional characteristics of the participants and emotional competence questionnaire. 66 nurses composed the sample. Results: The nurses in the study showed high levels of emotional competence (mean = 205.1, standard deviation = 20.9). There were no statistically significant differences between sociodemographic and professional characteristics and emotional competence. Conclusions: Although the relationship between emotional competence and sociodemographic and professional characteristics is unclear, the importance of emotional intelligence in care practice is certain.

A prática da acupuntura tem uma história, fundamentos e metodologias de aplicação que chegaram aos dias de hoje fruto da partilha e ensino de geração em geração. A integração da acupuntura na prática clínica de forma complementar, protagonizada pela Organização Mundial de Saúde(OMS), tem vindo aser defendida. A incidência do cancro em Portugal tem aumentado de forma significativa, com compromisso da qualidade de vida das pessoas e famílias acometidas. Segundo a OMS, 10% dos diagnósticos de cancro em Portugal referem-se ao cancro de mama. A sobrevida desta patologia aos 5 anos é de 90% e aos 10 anos é de 80%, quando detetado de forma precoce. Os pacientes com cancro de mama experienciam sinais e sintomas físicos e emocionais, que comprometem asua qualidade devida, nomeadamentealteração daregulação emocional, depressão eansiedade. A competência emocional é uma habilidade promotora de saúde, constituída por um conjunto de competências necessárias à compreensão e regulação dos fenómenos emocionais. Abrange cinco áreas, nomeadamente, autoconsciência, automotivação, gestão de emoções, empatia e gestão de emoções em grupo. Este trabalho teve como objetivo conhecer a influência da aplicação do ponto de acupunctura Nèiguãn (PC6) na regulação emocional em pacientes com carcinoma da mama e foi desenvolvido em contexto de prática clínica. Trata-se de um estudo quase experimental sem grupo controlo e exploratório, com uma metodologia de análise de dados quantitativa e descritiva. Para recolha de dados foi aplicado um questionário on-line, utilizando o Google forms. O tipo de amostra foi não probabilística por conveniência, a qual incluiu 10 pacientes com carcinoma da mama, sendo 9 de sexo feminino e 5 com idades entre 42 e 43 anos. A aplicação do ponto de acupunctura Nèiguãn evidenciou influência positiva ao nível da regulação emocional, da auto-motivação, da perceção de emoções e sentimentos promotores de saúde.

The spectrum of neuropsychiatric phenomena observed in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is wide and not fully understood. Disorders of laughter and crying stand among the most common manifestations. The aim of this study is to report the results of an educational consensus organized by the Brazilian Academy of Neurology to evaluate the definitions, phenomenology, diagnosis, and management of the disorders of laughter and crying in ALS patients. Twelve members of the Brazilian Academy of Neurology - considered to be experts in the field - were recruited to answer 12 questions about the subject. After exchanging revisions, a first draft was prepared. A face-to-face meeting was held in Fortaleza, Brazil on 9.23.22 to discuss it. The revised version was subsequently emailed to all members of the ALS Scientific Department from the Brazilian Academy of Neurology and the final revised version submitted for publication. The prevalence of pseudobulbar affect/pathological laughter and crying (PBA/PLC) in ALS patients from 15 combined studies and 3906 patients was 27.4% (N = 1070), ranging from 11.4% to 71%. Bulbar onset is a risk factor but there are limited studies evaluating the differences in prevalence among the different motor neuron diseases subtypes, including patients with and without frontotemporal dementia. Antidepressants and a combination of dextromethorphan and quinidine (not available in Brazil) are possible therapeutic options. This group of panelists acknowledge the multiple gaps in the current literature and reinforces the need for further studies.

The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic has been related to technostress in university professors, becoming a problem that significantly affects their health. This study aimed to analyse the relationship between emotional regulation and technostress in higher education professors through a systematic review which was carried out following the Prisma-P criteria. In this way 469 articles were found in the EBSCO, ProQuest, and SCOPUS databases; subsequent to the information screening process, 20 articles were used for the final review. Among the main results, it is evident that efficient emotional regulation is an inhibitor of technostress, as it allows the perception of effectiveness in the use of ICT to be enhanced and it contributes to job satisfaction and the development of empathy. Finally, it is essential that training programmes in the use of ICT not only include technical knowledge and other education topics, but also promote emotional regulation strategies for stress management in teaching work.

The aim of this work was the initial construction of the Computerized Emotional Intelligence Test for Work (TIIET), consisting of the perception test (TPET), comprehension test (TCET), and emotional management test (TGET). The study was divided into three phases: 1. operationalization of the items; 2. item analyses by expert judges; and 3. semantic analysis. Considering the Kappa indices (expert judges' analysis) and CVI (semantic analysis), along with the qualitative improvements made based on suggestions from specialists and the target audience throughout the three phases of the TIIET construction, positive results for content validity evidence can be identified. Accordingly, after completing these stages, an initial version of a maximum performance instrument for assessing emotional intelligence in the organizational context, based on the model of emotional intelligence as a cognitive ability, was obtained. This result qualifies the TIIET to be tested for other validity evidence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: As we move towards an aging society, more people face the need of taking the task of caring for persons with dementia. These people' neuropsychiatric symptoms are challenging for caregivers and trigger an extreme burden. However, the diversity of responses among caregivers suggests that personal resources may be protective of their mental health. Objective: this study sought to ascertain whether there were differences between the coping and emotion regulation strategies used by informal caregivers of persons with dementia and non-caregivers. It also examined whether these variables mediated the relationship between neuropsychiatric symptoms (persons with dementia) and burden (caregivers). Method: 138 participants, divided into two groups (informal caregivers and dementia persons, and non-caregivers) answered the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire and the Toulosian Coping Scale (short version). The Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview (short version) and the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (short version) were answered by the caregivers. Results: There were significant differences between groups regarding the Emotional Suppression strategy, with higher values for the caregivers. No significant differences were found in the coping strategies. It was also found that an increase in neuropsychiatric symptoms corresponded to an increase in burden. However, coping strategies and emotional regulation did not mediate the relationship between neuropsychiatric symptoms and caregivers' burden. Conclusions: The act of caring can cause great burden. Providing adequate resources to caregivers can help them choose more adaptive caregiving strategies and support the burden they are subjected to. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The pre-hospital context is complex and unpredictable, establishing a work environment in which nurses are daily exposed to psychologically exhausting situations and/or traumatic experiences. Health professionals deal with the nursing care in this context of unpredictability in different ways. With this in mind, it is important to know which emotional management strategies are used by nurses who provide care in this context, since these are scattered in the literature. Objective: The aim of this study is to map the emotional management strategies used by nurses in pre-hospital care, starting from the research question: “What are the emotional management strategies used by nurses in pre-hospital care?”. Methods: This is a scoping review based on the methodology proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The search will be carried out in MEDLINE (via PubMed) and CINAHL Complete (via EBSCOhost) and also in Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP). The research strategy was based on the PCC mnemonic. Nurses will be considered as a population, emotional management strategies as a concept and pre-hospital as a context. Written studies in Portuguese, English and Spanish will be included; and of all types: quantitative, qualitative, mixed and literature reviews. Results: The results will be presented in the form of a table and narrative summary. Here, will be presented the emotional management strategies used by nurses in pre-hospital care and the characteristics and the experiences that led to their use will be identified. Conclusion: The mapping of emotional management strategies used by nurses in the pre-hospital setting will contribute to the dissemination of available evidence and will become a starting point for the perception of the impact on their emotional well-being and on their personal and professional performance.

A autorregulação emocional frente a eventos tristes é essencial nas diferentes fases do desenvolvimento humano, principalmente ao tratar-se de crianças e adolescentes, uma vez que diferentes estratégias de autorregulação podem ser fatores protetivos a transtornos mentais como a depressão. Dado a existência da Escala de Autorregulação Emocional-Infantojuvenil (EARE-IJ) para mensurar tais eventos, este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar a versão revisada do instrumento, com o intuito de aprimorá-la, buscar evidências de validade baseadas na estrutura interna e índices de fidedignidade. Responderam ao instrumento 299 crianças e adolescentes, com idades de 10 até 16 anos (M = 12,20; DP = 1,36), de modo que foram testados diferentes modelos de análise fatorial confirmatória, coeficientes de confiabilidade e um modelo de invariância para a variável sexo. Os resultados acumulam evidências favoráveis para o instrumento em sua nova versão, passando a ser conhecida como Escala de Desregulação Emocional Infantojuvenil (EDEIJ). Além de indicarem que o instrumento é capaz de avaliar crianças e adolescentes com diferentes níveis de desregulação emocional, bem como possui invariância configural e métrica. Conclui-se que a ferramenta é eficiente para realizar o rastreio de estratégias de autorregulação emocional em crianças e adolescentes.

Pesquisas na área do desenvolvimento da regulação emocional sobre a infância e adolescência sugerem que a etiologia do fenômeno é multifatorial e que é necessário investigar aspectos contextuais relacionados. A coparentalidade é uma variável contextual que vem sendo associada a desfechos nos filhos, podendo ter relação com a regulação emocional. O objetivo desse estudo foi testar um modelo estrutural de relação direta e indireta entre desregulação emocional de mães e a percepção da regulação emocional de seus filhos adolescentes, avaliando o papel mediador da coparentalidade. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, transversal e explicativo realizado com 210 mães de adolescentes (M = 15,59, DP = 1,39 anos). Para isso foram utilizados o questionário sociodemográfico, o Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), o Emotion Regulation Checklist (ERC) e o Coparenting Inventory for Parents and Adolescents (CI-PA) com aplicação online. Foram realizadas análises descritivas, análise correlacional e modelagem de equações estruturais. O modelo interacional aponta para o efeito mediador parcial da coparentalidade nessa relação, bem como efeito indireto da desregulação das mães para a regulação emocional dos adolescentes. Os resultados ainda apontaram que a desregulação emocional das mães parece ter um impacto prejudicial na cooperação coparental. Esses resultados indicam importantes fatores a serem considerados no âmbito clínico nas intervenções com adolescentes e suas famílias.

Resumo O presente estudo teve como objetivo buscar evidências de validade para a Escala de Autoeficácia para Regulação Emocional (AERE) por meio da relação com a Escala de Autorregulação Emocional (EARE) e a Escala de Autoeficácia Social (AES). Para tanto, 549 participantes com idades entre 13 e 23 anos (M = 16,82, DP = 1,551), de Belém (72,7%, n = 399) e do Rio de Janeiro (27,3%, n = 150) compuseram a amostra. Eles responderam a EARE e outros dois instrumentos, um que avalia a autorregulação emocional diante da tristeza (Escala de Autorregulação Emocional - EARE) e outro, que avalia a autoeficácia social (Escala de Autoeficácia Social - AES). Os resultados indicaram que a autorregulação emocional mostrou maiores índices de predição em relação à autoeficácia para regulação emocional, do que para a autoeficácia social, embora ambos os construtos tenham gerado coeficientes significativos. Os achados corroboram a literatura, confirmando a evidência de validade para a Escala de Autoeficácia para Regulação Emocional e são discutidos à luz dos pressupostos teóricos.

A capacidade de influenciar a experiência e expressão das emoções pode ser fundamental para a saúde mental. Sabe-se que a regulação emocional possui relação com alterações no afeto positivo e negativo dos indivíduos, sendo estas capazes de influenciar seu bem-estar. A relação entre afeto positivo e negativo e bem-estar tem sido discutida na literatura, entretanto, ainda se desconhece o papel da regulação emocional nesta relação. Sendo assim, o presente estudo investigou se a Regulação Emocional (RE) exerce função moderadora na relação entre afeto positivo e negativo e o bem-estar. Para isso, foi realizado um survey online, com uma amostra de 857 participantes com idades entre 18 e 70 anos (M= 30,55). Os participantes responderam a Escala de Bem-Estar Psicológico, a Escala de Afetos Positivos e Negativos e o Questionário de Regulação Emocional. Os resultados revelaram que a supressão emocional exerce efeito moderador, enfraquecendo a relação positiva entre afeto positivo e bem-estar, enquanto a reavaliação cognitiva exerce função moderadora, enfraquecendo a relação negativa entre afeto negativo e bem-estar. Destaca-se a importância de desenvolver habilidades de tolerância e de regulação das reações emocionais para ajudar os indivíduos a ampliarem o leque de comportamentos para lidar com o sofrimento para promover bem-estar.

Emotional Regulation (ER) strategies are created depending on the attachment style, as the probability to experiment positive emotions increases. Need for Social Approval (NSA) works as a motivator that guides behavior and facilitates social adaptation, being associated positively with Mental Health (MH). Relationships between attachment styles, ER, NSA, and MH were evaluated. In total, 469 participants answered the Revised Adult Attachment Scale, the ER Questionnaire, the NSA Scale, and the MH Inventory MHI-38. Significant differences were found in all variables regarding attachment styles. Securely attached individuals had the highest psychological wellbeing and used cognitive re-evaluation as an ER strategy. NSA is conceived as a favorable social adjustment strategy that impacts individual's MH, influenced by attachment styles in interaction with ER. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As emoções possuem um forte impacto sobre as nossas percepções, nossas memórias, nossos pensamentos, nossa capacidade de ajuizamento e sobre o nosso comportamento. A compreensão dos comportamentos e das emoções manifestadas pela pessoa cuidada, nomeadamente em situação de fragilidade e de vulnerabilidade, é fundamental para o seu bem-estar, sendo importante a implementação de metodologias de cuidado promotoras de sentimentos positivos, por parte dos cuidadores. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever as emoções percebidas pela direção de 6 residências para idosos no período de confinamento, devido à pandemia COVID-19, e identificar os contributos da Metodologia de Cuidado Humanitude (MCH) para a gestão dessas emoções. Realizou-se um estudo multicasos descritivo, sendo os dados coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, realizadas com um membro da direção técnica de cada uma das residências. Foi realizada análise de conteúdo, aos dados obtidos, seguindo o modelo de Bardin, sendo organizados em categorias e subcategorias. Foram evidenciadas as seguintes emoções negativas: tristeza, apreensão, menosprezo, ansiedade e indignação, percebidas pelas dirigentes, tanto nos profissionais quanto nas pessoas cuidadas no período de confinamento frente à pandemia do COVID-19. Porém, houve a percepção de que a implementação dos principios da MCH, contribuiu para a minimização de emoções negativas e potenciou emoções positivas gerando mais otimismo, confiança e alegria em todos os envolvidos. Torna-se, pois, fundamental apropriação dos principios da MCH, por parte dos cuidadores, facilitadores da interação com a pessoa cuidada, promovendo sentimentos de bem-estar, mesmo em situação de grande vulnerabilidade e fragilidade, como é o caso da pandemia por COVID-19, vivenciada pelos idosos institucionalizados.

O presente trabalho pretendeu examinar a existência de associações entre variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas, vergonha relacionada com a doença crónica, processos de regulação emocional (fusão cognitiva, evitamento experiencial, autocompaixão e autojulgamento) e sintomas de depressão, ansiedade e stresse em pessoas com psoríase. Participaram 148 indivíduos (112 mulheres e 36 homens) recrutados através da Associação Portuguesa da Psoríase. Os participantes completaram online medidas de sintomas emocionais negativos (depressão, ansiedade e stresse), vergonha relacionada com a doença crónica, fusão cognitiva relacionada com a doença crónica, evitamento experiencial, autocompaixão e autojulgamento. Realizaram-se análises de regressão hierárquica em três passos com os sintomas de depressão, ansiedade e stresse como variáveis dependentes. O evitamento experiencial, o autojulgamento e os anos de escolaridade mostraram-se associados com os sintomas de depressão, ansiedade e stresse. A vergonha relacionada com a doença crónica revelou-se associada com os sintomas depressivos. Os processos de regulação emocional e a vergonha devem ser considerados no trabalho clínico com pessoas com psoríase. Os programas baseados no Mindfulness, a Terapia da Aceitação e Compromisso e a Terapia Focada na Compaixão, ao abordarem especificamente os processos de regulação emocional, podem ser adequados para esta população.

Research on the interplay between eating pathology, emotion dysregulation and negative urgency is needed to inform intervention approaches for patients with eating disorders and non-suicidal self-injury. This study aimed to investigate the characterization of patients with eating disorders and non-suicidal self-injury considering eating pathology, emotion dysregulation and negative urgency. This cross-sectional study evaluated 73 outpatients with eating disorders and non-suicidal self-injury (14-55 years; 68 women). A cluster analysis was performed using eating pathology, emotion dysregulation and negative urgency. Differences between clusters were explored on sociodemographic/ psychological variables, eating disorder diagnostics and past/current non-suicidal self-injury engagement. Three clusters were identified. Cluster 1 (n=29) (moderate severity) was characterized by high levels of eating pathology, but moderate emotion dysregulation and negative urgency. Cluster 2 (n=29) (high severity) was characterized by the highest scores in eating pathology, emotion dysregulation and negative urgency, and included more patients with current non-suicidal self-injury. Cluster 3 (n=15) (low severity) was characterized by the lowest levels of eating pathology, emotion dysregulation and negative urgency, and included more patients with past non-suicidal self-injury. These profiles highlight the importance of emotion dysregulation and negative urgency as treatment targets for eating disorders patients with current non-suicidal self-injury. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Adolescence is a phase of evolution and change at a biological, psychological and social level. Sleep is a basic need that manipulates and is manipulated by the various activities, contexts and roles, which are fundamental conditions for adolescents. Inadequate sleep can severely impair the quality of life of young people and influence their ability to regulate their emotions. The ability to regulate emotions is fundamental to preserving the individual’s internal balance, as well as enabling appropriate social relationships and fostering mental health. Inadequate or insufficient emotion regulation strategies may trigger unpleasant feelings and cause psychological distress, which may develop into an anxiety disorder over time. Insufficient emotion regulation is associated with reduced confidence in one’s ability to control anxiety. This study aimed to assess the existence of a significant relationship between daytime sleepiness, emotional regulation, anxiety levels and associated gender issues in students in the 3rd cycle of basic education. The sample consisted of 64 adolescents aged between 12 and 15 years old. The results showed significant correlations between daytime sleepiness and emotion regulation strategies (negative correlation), between daytime sleepiness and anxiety levels, and between emotion regulation and anxiety levels. With regard to gender, female participants had higher values than male participants in four subscales of emotion regulation and anxiety levels: situational responsiveness, motor component, vegetative component, and central nervous system component.

O nascimento de uma criança constitui um desafio para a família, escola e sociedade. É o início de uma jornada e a oportunidade de atingir a plena humanização. Este trabalho tem como objetivo conhecer os contributos da respiração diafragmática versus Mindfulness no desenvolvimento da regulação emocional das crianças em contexto escolar. Como metodologia foi realizada uma revisão narrativa da literatura, seguindo a mnemónica População, Contexto e Conceito (PPC). Definiram-se os seguintes critérios de inclusão: crianças em contexto escolar, sem restrição de género, etnia, idade ou outra característica pessoal; artigos completos publicados no período de 2012-2022,em português,espanholeinglês. A pesquisafoi feita nas bases de dados Scielo, Pubmed, Web of Science, Medline e B-on. A respiração diafragmática, presente na meditação, constitui um instrumento na regulação emocional na criança em contexto escolar, como ajuda na aprendizagem e modulação das respostas aos estímulos emocionalmente competentes. Esta prática torna a respiração mais lenta e abdominal, mais consciente, ativa o sistema parassimpático e diminui a Frequência Respiratória (FR) e Variabilidade da Frequência Cardíaca (VFC), reduzindo sinais e sintomas de ansiedade, défice de atenção e promove a sensação de relaxamento. Este contacto deve darse o mais precocemente possível, potenciando a neuroplasticidade e as ligações químicas cerebrais. Crianças que meditam tornam-se mais conhecedoras de si próprias, mais independentes e com mais capacidade de criar relações. A frequência cardíaca e respiratória influenciam significativamente a função cerebral, os processos emocionais, e as funções cognitivas como a atenção, perceção, memória e resolução de problemas. Estudos realizados demostram que a introdução de programas de respiração diafragmática versus mindfulness em contexto escolar são fundamentais para cultivar a consciência de si próprio, a consciência emocional e a literacia emocional, o que torna as crianças mais capazes na aprendizagem e nas relações humanas.

Emotional regulation is a skill related to emotional intelligence, which has shown important impacts on several aspects of life. This work aimed to analyze the psychometric properties of the Emotion Regulation Test (ERT) based on the Item Response Theory (IRT). The instrument was applied over the internet to 289 participants, predominantly female young adults and university students. The results inform about the instrument's psychometric properties, which can be improved in terms of reliability and in filling gaps in the skills continuum assessed by the test. However, it was adequate regarding the balance between the items' difficulty and the respondents' ability levels and provided information about aspects that influence the increase of the items' difficulty, which has clinical and assessment implications.

A Terapia Cognitivo-Comportamental (TCC) é uma abordagem psicológica com ênfase nos processos cognitivos. A mesma considera que a cognição deve ser utilizada para a compreensão dos transtornos mentais. Tal abordagem tem apresentando resultados científicos positivos sobre sua eficácia, inclusive no que diz respeito à desregulação emocional. Podemos falar que desregulação emocional é a dificuldade que o indivíduo apresenta ao lidar com suas emoções, podendo ser, uma intensificação ou desativação excessiva das emoções. A regulação emocional abrange um conjunto de técnicas utilizadas com a finalidade de buscar mais qualidade de vida para pacientes com diagnóstico de transtorno psicológico. O propósito deste estudo foi conhecer a TCC e algumas das técnicas de regulação emocional por ela utilizada em seus protocolos. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão narrativa referente ao objeto de pesquisa dentro de uma metodologia descritiva e exploratória. Ao final do estudo foi possível perceber que segundo os materiais pesquisados, que as técnicas de regulação emocional demonstram ser eficientes no processo terapêutico, haja vista que a visão negativa que muitas pessoas têm sobre suas emoções parece ser um complicador no processo de enfrentamento e adaptação diante das situações. Reconhecer a importância das emoções no processo de psicoterapia é um grande avanço na tentativa de amenizar o sofrimento de pacientes com transtornos psicológicos. A abordagem da regulação emocional em através de suas técnicas pode desempenhar papel fundamental no processo terapêutico de maneira a trazer ganhos significativos para o paciente.

This study aimed to seek evidence of validity for the Self-Efficacy Scale for Emotional Regulation (SESER) using the relationship with the Emotional Self-Regulation Scale (ESRE) and the Social Self-Efficacy Scale (SSES). Participants included a total of 549 students aged between 13 and 23 years old (M = 16.82, SD = 1.551) from the Brazilian municipalities of Belém (72.7%, n = 399) and Rio de Janeiro (27.3%, n = 150). They responded to SEERS and two other instruments, one that assessed emotional self-regulation in the face of sadness (Emotional Self-Regulation Scale - ESRS) and another that assessed social self-efficacy (Social Self-Efficacy Scale - SSE). The results indicated that emotional self-regulation showed higher rates of prediction for emotion regulation self-efficacy than for social self-efficacy, although both constructs generated significant coefficients. The findings corroborate the literature, confirming the evidence of validity for the Self-efficacy Scale for Emotional Regulation and are discussed in the light of theoretical assumptions.

The current study sought out to examine the associations between sociodemographic and clinical variables, shame, emotion regulation-related processes (cognitive fusion, experiential avoidance, self-compassion and self-judgement), and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in people with a psoriasis diagnosis. One hundred and forty-eight patients (112 females and 36 males) were recruited through the Associação Portuguesa da Psoríase (Portuguese psoriasis patients' association). Participants completed online measures of negative emotional symptoms (depression, anxiety and stress), chronic illness-related shame, chronic illness-related cognitive fusion, experiential avoidance, self-compassion, and self-judgment. Three-stage hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted with depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms as the dependent variables. Experiential avoidance, self-judgment and years of education were associated with depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. Chronic illness-related shame was also associated with depressive symptoms in people with psoriasis. Emotion regulation processes and shame should be considered in clinical work with people facing a psoriasis diagnosis. Mindfulness-based programs, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion Focused Therapy may be adequate for this population due to their specific target on emotion regulation processes.

This internet-mediated case study aimed to evaluate possible relationships between storytelling associated with yoga exercises and self-regulation of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. To this end, parents and caregivers were instructed to use storytelling videos, videos with demonstration of yoga exercise routines and evaluation forms in a total of three meetings. Relationships between contingency-shaped and rule-governed behavior were investigated. We found positive results in the two cases studied, one mediated by the child's parents and the other by the therapeutic companion. In conclusion, the involvement of relevant people in self-regulation training has been shown to generate positive effects on children's behavior and also on established interpersonal relationships. Future studies may use the tested design and intervention material to reach a greater number of children with atypical and typical development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Emotion regulation during childhood and adolescence has implications in different areas, both in these stages and in adult life. The objective of this article was to evaluate an emotional regulation test, Emotional Regulation Checklist (ERC), using CET-R as a frame of reference. We analyzed 71 articles that used the ERC for the evaluation of emotional regulation. The information was sorted according to test description, reliability and validity. All reliability results were shown using the Cronbach alpha coefficient. In relation to validity the average of the ERC correlations with the criteria was adequate but with some shortcomings. It is advisable to conduct research using advanced psychometric models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The ability to deal with the experience and expression of emotions can be fundamental to mental health. Emotion regulation is related to changes in the positive and negative affect of individuals which could influence well-being. The association between positive and negative affect and well-being has been discussed in the literature, but the role of emotion regulation in this relationship is still unknown. The present study investigated whether the ER plays a moderating role in the relationship between positive and negative affect and well-being. An online survey was conducted with a sample of 857 participants aged between 18 and 70 years old (M = 30.55). Participants answered the Psychological Well-Being Scale, Positive and Negative Affections Scale and Emotional Regulation Questionnaire. Results revealed that while the emotion suppression has a moderating effect, weakening positive relationship between positive affect and well-being, the cognitive reappraisal has a moderating function, weakening negative relationship between negative affect and well-being. It highlights the importance of developing skills of tolerance and regulation of emotions to deal with suffering and to promote well-being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A previous study presented the Emotional Competence Inventory, which was designed with basis on the emotional intelligence theory. It was very long and had a disproportionate number of items for each factor. Therefore, this study aimed to seek for validity evidence based on its internal structure and carry out an analysis of items of the short version of the instrument supported by the Item Response Theory (IRT). The study included 626 Brazilian participants with a mean age of 24.8 years (SD = 8.2). They were predominantly females (68.5%) who answered to the 34 items in the instrument. A confirmatory factor analysis showed good fit indices, thus confirming the original structure of the instrument. IRT analyses also resulted in good fit indices and revealed the aspects involved in the increased difficulty of the items in each scale. It was concluded that the instrument shows good psychometric properties and can be recommended for research purposes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As a prosocial motivation, compassion enables to engage in care and collaborative behaviors, what can be impaired in people facing fears of compassion. This study proposed to investigate factors involved in the difficulties to engage in distancing measures, evaluating the role of the fears of compassion. 284 adults (mean age = 36,47) answered Fears of Compassion Scales, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale and a questionnaire about the engagement to social distancing measures. A path analysis model explained 32% of the variance on the recommended measures in two ways: fear of expressing compassion to others reduces the compliance with the recommendations decreasing prosocial motivations to follow the measures; fears of expressing compassion to self and others predicted stronger difficulties on emotional regulation, reducing the adherence to protocols because of emotional exhaustion. Providing the development of compassion can help to promote healthier emotional strategies to deal with the pandemic and to promote a more collaborative society to engage in social actions.

Individuals differ in their tendency to follow or ignore feelings as a source of information to guide behavior, and it is relevant to examine these particularities. This study presents an assessment of the psychometric properties of the transcultural adaptation of the Following Affective States Test (FAST) for the Brazilian context. After translation and back translation, the adapted version was applied among adult volunteers (n=302), both sexes (208 women, 68.9%), aged between 18 and 61 years old (M=28.6; SD=9.4) along with the Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS) and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the Brazilian version presented appropriate goodness of fit for the four-factor model (GFI=0.92; CFI=0.83; RMSEA=0.07) with appropriate internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=0.60-0.72). Statistically significant positive correlations were found between the FAST and positive/negative affects (PANAS) and emotion regulation strategies (ERQ). The adapted version of the FAST presented promising indicators concerning validity and reliability evidence for the Brazilian context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

O objetivo do estudo foi investigar como ocorrem as relações entre demandas e estratégias de tra-balho emocional e engajamento no trabalho em policiais militares. Participaram da pesquisa 302 policiais. Os instrumentos usados foram: Emotional Labour Scale — ELS, Emotion Work Require-ments Scale —EWRS e Utrecht Work Engagement Scale -UWES. Para testar o poder preditivo das di-mensões do trabalho emocional foram realizadas análises de regressão múltipla. As demandas de intensidade/variabilidade e de expressão de emoções negativas não apresentaram relações estatisti-camente significativas com o engajamento. As demandas de expressão de emoções positivas com ví-timas, superiores e outros policiais e a estratégia de ação profunda foram preditores positivos, ao contrário da estratégia de ação superficial que foi preditora negativa do engajamento no trabalho. Esse artigo contribui para diferenciar as demandas emocionais conforme o grupo de interação; e ca-racterizar o trabalho emocional do policial e sua relação com o engajamento, destacando a impor-tância do desenvolvimento de competências socioemocionais.
