Relationships between maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and psychopathology in adolescents from Bangladesh

Abstract

Introduction: Psychopathology of adolescents in developing countries such as Bangladesh is a neglected problem, which should get more attention, especially with a focus on Þ nding targets for prevention and intervention. Aim of the study was to study relationships between cognitive emotion regulation strategies and psychopathology in Bengali adolescents. Methods:The sample consisted of 340 12-to-18-year old adolescents from Bangladesh. The Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) was used to measure cognitive emotion regulation strategies. The SCL-90 was used to measure symptoms of depression, anxiety and hostility. Relationships between CERQ and SCL-90 scales were studied by Multiple Regression Analysis. Results:With regard to relationships between CERQ strategies and psychopathology: Higher extents of 'Worry-focused' cognitive styles appeared to be related to the reporting of more symptoms of psychopathology, while more 'Reappraisal-focused' styles were associated with the reporting of less symptoms of psychopathology. Discussion:The results with regard to the relationships between cognitive emotion regulation strategies and psychopathology may provide possible targets for interventions to improve mental health in adolescents in developing countries.

Effect of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy on Substance Dependence Intensity and Cognitive Emotion Regulation in Patients Under Methadone Maintenance Treatment

“…The present study also revealed that MBCT increases the use of cognitive regulation strategies and reduces the use of negative emotional regulation strategies in people undergoing MMT. These results are in line with those of Schmidt et al, (2018), Garnefski, Hossain, & Kraaij, (2017).…”

“…They believe that the mindfulness involves a variety of psychological mechanisms which reduce distress. These mechanisms are rethinking or reformatting experiences from a better metacognitive perspective, improving emotions, selfregulation, increasing mental flexibility, and desensitizing empathic experiences through the perceived lack of threat (Garnefski et al, 2017). It is likely that these new emotional and cognitive aspects be a neuroscience framework, through which the mindfulness is related to substance abuse (Garnefski et al, 2017).…”

Kognitivna Regulacija Emocija I Subjektivno Blagostanje Kod Adolescenata: Postoji Li Direktna Veza?

“…Rezultati o zastupljenosti strategija kognitivne emocionalne regulacije su pokazali da su kod adolescenata najzastupljenije strategije planiranje i pozitivna preformulacija; slede ih ruminacija, prihvatanje, stavljanje u perspektivu i pozitivno refokusiranje; dok su samo-okrivljavanje, katastrofiziranje i okrivljavanje drugih strategije koje adolescenti najređe koriste. Ovi nalazi su u skladu sa rezultatima većeg drugih studija na uzorcima adolescenata (Garnefski et al, 2017). Naime, ispitanici iz ovog uzorka nalaze se u periodu ulaska u srednju adolescenciju, kada opada zavisnost od neposredne emocionalne podrške roditelja, a jačaju sopstvene strategije emocionalne regulacije.…”

Adolescent Depressive Symptoms: Longitudinal Effects Of Emotional Regulation Moderated By Parental Support

“…Several studies have demonstrated an association between cognitive emotional regulation strategies and depressive symptomatology in adolescence, with positive relationships with strategies like rumination, catastrophizing and self-blame, and negative relationships with more adaptive strategies, like positive reappraisal (d 'Acremont & Van der Linden, 2007;Garnefski, Boon, & Kraaij, 2003;Garnefski, Hossain, & Kraaij, 2017;Garnefski & Kraaij, 2006;Garnefski & Kraaij, 2014;Garnefski & Kraaij, 2016;Garnefski, Kraaij, & van Etten, 2005;Garnefski, Legerstee, Kraaij, Van den Kommer, & Teerds, 2002;Kraaij & Garnefski, 2012;Kraaij et al, 2003;Öngen, 2010).

“…putting into perspective, positive refocusing, positive reappraisal and refocus on planning) and less adaptive strategies (e.g. self-blame, blaming others, rumination and catastrophizing) (d 'Acremont & Van der Linden, 2007;Garnefski et al, 2017;Garnefski, Kraaij, & Spinhoven, 2001;Öngen, 2010). In respect to the acceptance strategy, while some studies consider it as a more adaptive strategy (d 'Acremont & Van der Linden, 2007;Garnefski et al, 2001), other studies verified that this strategy was positively associated with depressive symptomatology (Garnefski & Kraaij, 2006;Garnefski & Kraaij, 2016).…”
