Background

Emotion regulation (ER) and emotion recognition (ERC) deficits are frequently observed in the sequelae of child maltreatment (CM). Despite a wealth of research on emotional functioning, these emotional processes are often presented as independent but related functions. As such, there is currently no theoretical framework on how different components of emotional competence, such as ER and ERC, may be related to one another.

Objective

The present study aims to empirically assess the relationship between ER and ERC by examining the moderating role of ER in the relationship between CM and ERC. A secondary objective is to explore whether unique CM subtypes, recognition of specific emotions, and ER dimensions are driving this relationship.

Methods

A sample of 413 emerging adults (18–25 years) completed an online survey (CM history, ER difficulties) and an ERC task.

Results

Moderation analysis indicated that in emerging adults with ER difficulties, as CM increased, the accuracy for negative emotions decreased (B = −0.02, SE = 0.01, t = −2.50, p = .01). Exploratory analyses revealed that most CM subtypes (sexual abuse, emotional maltreatment, and exposure to domestic violence) significantly interacted with two ER dimensions (difficulty with impulsivity and limited access to ER strategies) and was associated with disgust, but not sadness, fear, nor anger recognition.

Conclusions

These results provide evidence for ERC impairment in emerging adults with more CM experiences and ER difficulties. The interplay between ER and ERC is important to consider in the study and treatment of CM.

情绪调节困难调节儿童虐待与情绪识别之间的关系

背景

在儿童虐待 (CM) 的后遗症中经常观察到情绪调节 (ER) 和情绪识别 (ERC) 缺陷。尽管对情绪功能进行了大量研究,但这些情绪过程通常表现为独立但相关的功能。因此,目前还没有关于情绪能力的不同组成部分(例如 ER 和 ERC)如何相互关联的理论框架。

客观的

本研究旨在通过检查 ER 在 CM 和 ERC 之间的关系中的调节作用来实证评估 ER 和 ERC 之间的关系。第二个目标是探索独特的 CM 亚型、特定情绪的识别和 ER 维度是否正在推动这种关系。

方法

413 名新兴成年人(18-25 岁)的样本完成了在线调查(CM 历史、ER 困难)和 ERC 任务。

结果

适度分析表明,在有 ER 困难的新兴成年人中,随着 CM 的增加,负面情绪的准确性下降(B  = −0.02,SE  = 0.01,t  = −2.50,p  = .01)。探索性分析显示,大多数 CM 亚型(性虐待、情感虐待和家庭暴力暴露)与 ER 的两个维度(冲动困难和 ER 策略的使用受限)显着相互作用,并且与厌恶相关,但与悲伤、恐惧或恐惧无关愤怒识别。

结论

这些结果为具有更多 CM 经验和 ER 困难的新兴成人提供了 ERC 损伤的证据。ER 和 ERC 之间的相互作用在 CM 的研究和治疗中很重要。
