“…Findings supported the hypothesis that emotion regulation is positively associated with marital satisfaction. The results are consistent with the results of previous studies, highlighting the effects of emotion regulation skills on the quality of relationships [10,20,40]. Bloch et al and Rick et al found the partner effects of emotion regulation only for wives [10,20], while in the present study significant partner effects were reported for both husbands and wives.…”

Objectives The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between emotion regulation dimensions and marital satisfaction along with assessing the moderating role of gender factor. Methods This is a descriptive/correlational study. Participants were 156 married couples living in Tehran, Iran who were recruited using a convenience sampling method. They were measured using the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS). In order to explore dyadic relationships, data were analyzed using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM). Results Both in husbands and wives, the emotion regulation ability was predictive of their marital satisfaction. Wives' scores in all 6 dimensions of emotion regulation and their husbands' scores in all dimensions except in "awareness" was positively associated with their marital satisfaction. Acceptance of emotions, goal-directed behavior, impulse control, and access to regulation strategies in men predicted their wives' marital satisfaction, while impulse control, access to regulation strategies, and understanding of emotions in women predicted their husbands' marital satisfaction. The results did not support the moderating role of gender. Conclusion The findings highlight the importance of focus on emotion regulation and its multiple dimensions in assessment and treatment of problems in couples. The use of dyadic data analysis is recommended to better understand the interpersonal phenomena.

“…Total scores range from 36 to 180. There are no standardized clinical cutoffs for this measure, however prior research suggests that the clinical range on the DERS total score varies from averages of approximately 80 to 127 8,21 . The DERS has been shown to have high internal consistency and test-retest reliability, and good predictive and construct validity 20 .…”

Objective There is growing interest in the role of emotion regulation in anorexia nervosa (AN). Although anxiety is also hypothesized to impact symptoms of AN, little is known about how emotion regulation, anxiety, and eating disorder symptoms interact in AN. In this study, we examined the associations between emotion regulation, anxiety, and eating disorder symptom severity in AN. Methods Questionnaires and interviews assessing emotion regulation difficulties, anxiety, eating disorder symptoms, and eating disorder-related clinical impairment were collected from group of underweight individuals with AN (n = 59) at admission to inpatient treatment. Hierarchical linear regressions were used to examine the associations of emotion regulation difficulties, anxiety, and the interaction of these constructs with eating disorder symptoms and eating disorder-related clinical impairment. Results Emotion regulation difficulties were significantly positively associated with eating disorder symptoms and related clinical impairment only when anxiety levels were low and anxiety was significantly positively associated with eating disorder symptoms and related clinical impairment only when emotion regulation problems were not elevated. Conclusions This study adds to a growing literature suggesting that emotion regulation deficits are associated with eating disorder symptoms in AN. Certain individuals with AN may especially benefit from a focus on developing emotion regulation skills in the acute stages of illness.

“…Roemer, 2004) is a 36-item self-report scale that asks respondents to indicate how frequently they experience a range of emotional problems, including difficulties accepting emotions, difficulties engaging in goal-directed behavior, impulse control difficulties, lack of emotional awareness, perceived ineffectiveness of emotion regulation strategies, and lack of emotional clarity, on a five-point scale (1 = almost never [0-10%], 5 = almost always [91-100%]). The DERS demonstrates good internal consistency, internal consistency, and convergent and divergent validity (Gratz & Roemer, 2004;Staples & Mohlman, 2012;Weinberg & Klonsky, 2009; Bardeen & Fergus, 2014). For example, DERS scores have been found to mediate the relationship between personality disorders and interpersonal difficulties, such as aggression (Scott et al, 2014).…”

Recent conceptual and empirical advances have directed attention toward interpersonal emotion regulation (IER). We conducted a series of autobiographical recall and daily diary studies to investigate a wide range of provider behaviors conveyed during IER interactions, ascertain the number of dimensions required to capture these behaviors, and then to examine associations of those dimensions with the outcomes of IER interactions. To do so, we created a new questionnaire, the Interpersonal Regulation Interaction Scale (IRIS), which can be used to obtain recipients’ ratings of providers’ behaviors within an IER interaction. In Study 1 (n = 390), an exploratory factor analysis of the IRIS yielded four dimensions, which we labeled responsiveness, hostility, cognitive support, and physical presence. Each dimension was uniquely associated with the perceived benefits of receiving IER. In Studies 2-4 (199-895), we collected multiple, diverse samples and found support for the replicability and generalizability of key findings from Study 1, including the factor structure and associations with perceived benefits. Finally, in Study 5, we examined concurrent (i.e., same-day) and prospective (i.e., next-day) associations between ratings of IER provider behaviors and a broader array of psychosocial outcomes using a daily diary approach. Across studies, our findings suggest that the outcomes of IER interactions are tied to the contents of IER interactions as reflected in the dimensions of provider behavior measured by the IRIS, with evidence that each of these dimensions convey unique information relevant to outcomes.
