“…Although there are various strategies that adolescents may use to regulate emotions, in the present study we focused on two commonly used measures of late adolescent and adult emotion regulation: expressive suppression and cognitive reappraisal (Gross, 1998(Gross, , 2002 that have been reliably measured in early to mid-adolescence (Gullone, Hughes, King, & Tonge, 2010;Watson, 2007). Suppression refers to efforts to actively control emotional expressivity and is associated with negative social consequences (Butler et al, 2003), negative emotionality (Butler, Lee, & Gross, 2007), depressive symptoms (Flynn, Hollenstein, & Mackey, 2010;Gross & John, 2003), greater SNS activity (Lam, Dickerson, Zoccola, & Zaldivar, 2009), and less success in actually regulating emotions (Butler et al, 2003). The strategy of reappraisal includes thinking about a situation in different ways to reduce negative emotional reactivity and is associated with better adjustment and well-being (Flynn et al, 2010;Gross & John, 2003).…”

Many transformations that occur in adolescence are related to emotion and emotion regulation, yet very little is known about the autonomic underpinnings of these changes. The aim of the study was to document age-related differences in autonomic responses to social stress and relations to emotion regulation. Ninety-nine female adolescents engaged in a paced breathing and a spontaneous speech task while electrocardiography measurements were taken. Spectral decomposition of the heart period data was used to create measures of sympathetic and parasympathetic activity. Results revealed a positive correlation between age and sympathetic activity and a negative correlation between age and parasympathetic activity. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the age-related norms of cardiac variability across adolescence.

“…dispositional emotion regulation; Mohiyeddini, 2005; see also Wirtz et al, 2006). What is more, it has been reported that emotion regulation is linked to psychological and physiological functioning (Lam, Dickerson, Zoccola, & Zaldivar, 2009). However, potential mediating effects of emotion regulation processes on the association between listening to music and physiological and psychological functioning have not been described in the literature so far.…”

Music listening has been suggested to have short term beneficial effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the association and potential mediating mechanisms between various aspects of habitual music listening behaviour and physiological and psychological functioning. An internet based survey was conducted in university students, measuring habitual music listening behaviour, emotion regulation, stress reactivity, as well as physiological and psychological functioning. A total of 1230 individuals (mean 24.89 AE 5.34 years, 55.3% women) completed the questionnaire. Quantitative aspects of habitual music listening behaviour, i.e. average duration of music listening and subjective relevance of music, were not associated with physiological and psychological functioning. In contrast, qualitative aspects, i.e. reasons for listening (especially 'reducing loneliness and aggression', and 'arousing or intensifying specific emotions') were significantly related to physiological and psychological functioning (all p 0.001). These direct effects were mediated by distress augmenting emotion regulation and individual stress reactivity. The habitual music listening behaviour appears to be a multifaceted behaviour that is further influenced by dispositions that are usually not related to music listening. Consequently, habitual music listening behaviour is not obviously linked to physiological and psychological functioning.

“…Reappraisal does not always successfully reduce measures of negative emotion (Lam, Dickerson, Zoccola & Zaldivar, 2009) and could be due to copings strategies implemented. It would suggest people who employ problem-focused coping strategies have increased resilience and less emotional impact of the traumatic event.…”

Purpose -This study aims to explore the impact of coping style, self-efficacy, resilience and emotional reaction of trauma related intrusions in young offenders.Design/methodology -This is a quantitative study using questionnaires. The sample was 152 young offenders in custody who were approached in their residential hall. Upon agreeing to participate they were given 24 hours to complete the questionnaire pack and returned these to the researcher at a designated time and place.Findings -Over 90% of the sample indicated at least one traumatic event; 33.6% indicated 8 or more. Number of traumatic events did not impact on self-efficacy, resilience or coping strategy used. The type of coping strategy did not significantly impact on emotional reaction to intrusions across trauma groups. Participants with higher self-efficacy demonstrated greater problem-focused coping and less emotional reaction to intrusions. Participants with greater resilience scores utilised more problem and emotion-focused coping and experienced less emotional reaction to their intrusions. Resilience was predicted by self-efficacy and emotional reaction to intrusions. Practical implications -Professionals working with young offenders with trauma relatedintrusions should focus on building strengths in the areas of problem-focused coping, selfefficacy and resilience.Originality/value -This paper adds to the literature on trauma in male young offenders by looking at psychological factors which could be developed upon to improve ability to manage intrusive thoughts.
