“…The questionnaire most adopted was the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), used in five studies [ 58 , 64 , 66 , 70 , 73 ]. Three studies [ 61 , 63 , 76 ] analyzed emotional regulation with the Questionnaire to Assess Children’s and Adolescents’ Emotion Regulation Strategies [ 90 ], and three studies [ 62 , 67 , 69 ] used the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ; [ 91 ]). However, other self-report instruments were adopted (see Table 2 ).…”

“…For the assessment of eating behavior, the study of Tan et al [ 75 ] adopted BMI as an index of eating behavior; the other studies used self-report measures. Fifteen studies selected a unique self-report instrument [ 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 70 , 71 , 76 , 77 ] one study used two questionnaires [ 69 ], and two studies proposed an evaluation with three [ 74 ] or four [ 65 ] scales.…”

The worldwide prevalence of obesity has dramatically increased, mostly in children and adolescents. The Emotional Eating theoretical model has proposed that the failure in emotional regulation could represent a risk factor for establishing maladaptive overeating behavior that represents an inadequate response to negative emotions and allows increasing body-weight. This systematic review investigates the relationship between overeating and both emotional regulation and emotional intelligence in childhood and adolescence, considering both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. Moreover, another goal of the review is evaluating whether emotional regulation and emotional intelligence can cause overeating behaviors. The systematic search was conducted according to the PRISMA-statement in the databases Medline, PsychArtcles, PsychInfo, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Sciences, and allows 484 records to be extracted. Twenty-six studies were selected according to inclusion (e.g., studies focused on children and adolescents without clinical conditions; groups of participants overweight or with obesity) and exclusion (e.g., studies that adopted qualitative assessment or cognitive-affective tasks to measure emotional variables; reviews, commentary, or brief reports) criteria detailed in the methods. Cross-sectional studies showed a negative association between emotional regulation and overeating behavior that was confirmed by longitudinal studies. These findings highlighted the role of maladaptive emotion regulation on overeating and being overweight. The relationship between these constructs in children and adolescents was consistent. The results indicated the complexity of this association, which would be influenced by many physiological, psychological, and social factors. These findings underline the need for further studies focused on emotion regulation in the development of overeating. They should analyze the mediation role of other variables (e.g., attachment style, peer pressure) and identify interventions to prevent and reduce worldwide overweight prevalence.

Duygu düzenleme becerileri ile bilinçli farkındalık konuları son dönemlerde önem kazanmaya başlanmış iki problem alanıdır. Duygu düzenlemenin bireylerin sağlıklı davranışlar geliştirmesine yardım ettiğini raporlayan çalışmalar mevcuttur. Benzer şekilde bilinçli farkındalığın da duygu düzenlemeye pozitif katkısı olduğunu belirten çalışmalar bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma bu literatüre duygu düzenleme ve bilinçli farkındalık arasındaki ilişkiye inceleyerek dahil olmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı ortaokul öğrencilerinin duygu düzenleme becerileri ile bilinçli farkındalık düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. İlişkisel desende tasarlanan bu araştırma rastgele seçilen 345 öğrencinin katılımı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma bulgularına göre öğrencilerin duygu düzenleme becerileri ile bilinçli farkındalık düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki mevcuttur. Çalışma, bulgulardan hareketle, öğrencilerin duygu düzenleme kapasitelerini geliştirme maksadı ile bilinçli farkındalık müdahale programlarının geliştirilmesi ve uygulanmasını önererek sonlanmaktadır.

Background Self‐compassion has been defined as the ability to be with one's feelings of suffering in a warm and caring way. Research has shown a negative association between self‐compassion and mental illness, and that low self‐compassion can make psychotherapeutic effects less likely. The ability to measure a patient's self‐compassion in a fast and reliable way is therefore important in investigating effects of psychotherapies. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Swedish version of the Self‐Compassion Scale–Short Form (SCS‐SF) in both non‐clinical (NC) and clinical samples. Methods Cross‐sectional data were gathered in a NC community sample (n = 1,089), an eating disorder (ED) sample (n = 253) and a borderline personality disorder (BPD) sample (n = 151). All participants were asked to complete a number of questionnaires, including the SCS‐SF, and 121 participants in the NC sample repeated the assessment after 2 weeks for test–retest analysis. Results Confirmatory factor analyses supported the first‐order model suggested in previous research. Good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.78–0.87) and test–retest reliability (intra‐class correlation = 0.84) were demonstrated for the entire scale. Results also showed good convergent validity, demonstrating moderate negative associations between self‐compassion and mental illnesses, as expected, and acceptable divergent validity, demonstrating weak positive associations between self‐compassion and quality of life and mindfulness. Discussion The correlations between the SCS‐SF and the instruments used for validation were weaker in the clinical samples than the NC sample. This may be due to difficulties measuring these constructs or that the associations differ somewhat between different populations, which could warrant further research. The results added some support to the assumption that self‐compassion may overlap with mindfulness yet still represents a distinct construct. Conclusions Analyses of the SCS‐SF provided evidence of adequate to good psychometric properties, supporting use of the scale's total sum score and a first‐order factor structure. This is in accordance with previous evaluations of the SCS‐SF, suggesting that it is a reliable and time‐efficient instrument for measuring a general level of self‐compassion. This may be important when evaluating psychotherapy and investigating self‐compassion and its influence on psychiatric illness.
