“…1 The use of adaptive emotion regulation strategies is associated with academic achievements, social functioning, subjective and psychological well-being. [2][3][4] In contrast, the use of maladaptive emotion regulation strategies has been identified as one of risk factors for increased psychopathology problems such as aggressive behaviors, depression and anxiety symptoms, and oppositional defiant disorder. 1,5,6 Therefore, the improvement of children's ability to use emotion regulation strategies appropriately has important implications for their psychosocial development and mental health.…”

Background: The ability to regulate emotion effectively plays a key role in child psychosocial development and mental health. The current study examines the effect of cognitive training for executive function on emotion regulation in Chinese preschool children, and further investigate the underlying mediating mechanisms. Methods: A cluster randomized control trial design with pre-test and post-test was conducted in 61 preschool children aged 3-6 years in China. The intervention group consisted of 30 children who received eight cognitive training sessions on executive function, while the control group consisted of 31 children who did not receive any psychological training. Children's executive function was measured individually via five laboratory tasks both in the pre-test and post-test. Adaptive and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies were coded in emotion-elicit contexts. Results: Intervention group outperformed control group in working memory and inhibitory control. Children in the intervention group exhibited increased use of adaptive emotion regulation strategies and decreased use of maladaptive emotion regulation strategies than children in the control group. Mediation analyses indicated that there were significantly indirect effects of Intervention Condition on the gain scores of adaptive and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies through the gain score of inhibitory control. Conclusions: Executive function training effectively promotes working memory, inhibitory control and the use of adaptive emotion regulation strategies, and reduces the use of maladaptive emotion regulation strategies. In addition, executive function training improves the use of adaptive and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies through the enhancement of inhibitory control capacity.

“…17 Liu et al (2018) found that severity of paternal childhood emotional maltreatment was meaningfully associated with paternal marital dissatisfaction, whereas maternal childhood emotional maltreatment was only marginally associated with maternal marital dissatisfaction. 34 Bloch et al (2014) found a strong relationship between women's emotion dysregulation and marital satisfaction and asserted that a decrease in the ability to regulate emotions negatively affected the marital relationship. 35 Mirgain and Cordova (2007) reveal that there is a strong association with emotion regulation and marital satisfaction.…”

Objective: The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between childhood trauma, emotion regulation difficulties and marital satisfaction in pregnant adolescents. Methods: The model of this study, which is planned as quantitative research, is a relational screening model that aims to determine the presence of change between two or more variables. The universe of the study consisted of pregnant adolescents. The sample of the study consisted of pregnant adolescents (n: 350) who are citizens of The Republic of Turkey and applied to Konya Dr. Faruk Sükan Hospital for Obstetrics and Pediatrics between April 2016-2017. The following forms and scales were used in the study: "Personal Demographic Information Form" developed by the researcher, "Childhood Trauma Scale (CTQ-28)" to determine childhood trauma scores of pregnant adolescents, " Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS)" to determine emotion regulation difficulties scores and "Marriage Life Scale" to determine marital satisfaction scores. The obtained data were analyzed by SPSS 23.0 program. Results: The average age of pregnant adolescents was 17.2 ± 1, the marriage age was 16.7 ± 1 and the age at first pregnancy was 17.9 ± 2.0. It has been found that there is a strong positive relationship between childhood traumas and emotion regulation difficulties in pregnant adolescents. In addition, it has also been concluded that childhood traumas in pregnant adolescents statistically and significantly explains emotional regulation difficulties at a level of 44% and marital satisfaction at a level of 53%. Conclusion: It can be concluded that as the neglect and abuse experienced during childhood increases, the emotion regulation difficulties increases and marital satisfaction decreases.

“…Emotion regulation as a core component of organizing adaptive behavior [75] in two categories of negative and positive strategies is associated with a variety of adjustment and maladjustment individual and interactional outcomes. Studies have shown that cognitive emotion regulation strategies play the role of prognosis and treatment for psychological problems and play a role in weakening or strengthening marital outcomes such as marital satisfaction [62,63,65,66]. Given the above, the question arises as to how people's marital satisfaction is affected by the activity of the brainbehavioral system and emotion regulation strategies.…”
