“…These results encourage our hope that the described analysis could contribute to the prediction of future abnormal emotional reaction in adults that could put at risk their mental and psychosomatic systems functioning. This type of analysis of emotion regulation could be important in the assessment and understanding of emotional mechanisms in several pathological states [27,28]. The instability coefficient could be also used as a general evaluation validity check.…”

In this work, we propose an interdisciplinary chaos analysis of emotion dysregulation (ED) and emotional vulnerability in adults. One of the main goals was the assessment of incongruences that occur in the evaluation of one’s own emotional dysregulation mechanisms in the presence of an extremely weak stimulus (Butterfly Effect). Thus, we considered a “flavor” of the Lyapunov Function method based on the assumption that the effort of answering to the test is itself a small perturbation. In this context, we calculated the “instability coefficient” Δ defined as the Euclidean distance between the pairs of vectors that include similar and reverted items of a test. The relationship between Δ, ED, and emotional characteristics as quality (positive/negative) and type (trait/state) was highlighted. We hypothesized that a higher level of Δ should be significantly related with a higher ED and with the type and the quality of emotions. The results suggest that Δ is significantly correlated with trait emotions (positively with negative emotions, and negatively with positive ones) and with ED. Moreover, Δ significantly predicts ED in adults. Thus, we consider that this approach is promising with respect to the evolution of emotional mechanisms across time. The presence of an initial instability to a weak perturbation might predict future abnormal emotional functioning, which could put at risk the mental or psychosomatic systems.

“…It was proposed that individuals that frequently use cognitive reappraisal are more able to live more positive emotions in their daily life and to deal with distress generated by different life events, by reinterpreting their experiences proactively. As a result of this reinterpretation, they experience more positive affect, less negative affect, and report greater life satisfaction (Ciuluvica, Amerio, and Fulcheri 2014;Gross and John 2003).…”

This paper focuses on two strategies-cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression-that people use to regulate their emotions and thoughts in daily life. Cognitive reappraisal is considered to be the effort made by an individual with the aim of changing the meaning of a situation in order to decrease its intense and negative emotional impact. Expressive suppression represents the effort of inhibiting the outward signs of inner emotional states or unwanted thoughts. Many studies, both experimental and correlational, showed that cognitive reappraisal is often more effective than expressive suppression. In this paper, previous studies about the role of emotion and thought dysregulation in the development of negative psychological outcomes were reviewed. First, the definition and characteristics of emotion and thought regulation strategies are presented. Secondly, the specific individual differences in the use of emotion and thought regulation strategies, in terms of personality traits, attachment, gender, and age, are discussed. The third section presents the associations between these emotion and thought regulation strategies and various mental disorders. In the last section, previous empirical studies that analyzed the associations between such strategies and wellbeing, defined as a low level of negative affect, a high level of positive affect, and life satisfaction, are presented.

“…Results of numerous studies aiming to explore connections of satisfaction with life with the emotional regulation point to majority of conclusions about thier positive relationships with cognitive reappraisal (Gross & John, 2003;Haga, Kraft, & Corby, 2009;Perrone-McGovern, Simon-Dack, Beduna, Williams, & Esse, 2015;Yiğit, Özpolat, & Kandemir, 2014), and negative relationships with emotional suppression (Gross, Richards, & John, 2006;Haga et al, 2009;Randal, Rickard, & Vella-Brodrick, 2014;Soto, Perez, Kim, Lee, & Minnick, 2011). However, some researchers conclude that there are no significant relationships (e.g., Ciuluvica, Amerio, & Fulcheri, 2014). When it comes to the impacts of two types of emotional regulation on life satisfaction, the results are largely consistent with the results of exploring basic relationships (e.g., Yiğit et al, 2014).…”

An expansion of the mental health research at the end of the 20th century largely places well-being in the focus of interest of contemporary psychological science. However, the state of the art results of behavioral-genetic studies provide a complete framework of the factors that influence the indicators of subjective well-being through the specification of etiology of their relationship. The main aim of this study is to evaluate genetic and environmental factors that contribute to connections among life satisfaction measures and emotional regulation. The study included 182 pairs of twins of both sexes (121 monozygotic and 61 dizygotic twin pairs), aged 18-48. The proportion of individual sources of covariance between the examined phenotypes was tested with a multivariate biometric method. Genetic factors explained a slightly higher variance of life satisfaction (53%), while the environmental factors had a significant role in explaining different types of emotional regulation. General genetic factors were potentially important only in the explanation of the cognitive reappraisal of negative emotions. In other cases, the environmental factors were of the greater importance. An insight into the phenotypic correlations suggests these constructs have low to moderate intercorrelations; likewise genetic factors have a potential significance (45%) merely in the case of two types of cognitive reappraisal of emotions.
