“…However, others researchers also failed to show a significant reduction of HRV in depressed or anxious patients (Agelink et al, 2001;Hammel et al, 2011). This is also surprising that we did not find any interaction between HRV and trait EC as previous studies have observed a buffer effect of HRV on the relationships between trait personalities and distress (Batselé et al, 2019;Ode et al, 2010) highlighting the need of better understanding of HRV's role in mental health.…”

“…Indeed, Ode & colleagues (2010) demonstrated that neuroticism have less detrimental consequences on preceived stress, somatic complaints, negative emotions and thoughts at higher levels of HRV but not at lower levels. In the same vein, a recent study has shown that higher levels of HRV is a protective factor for the relationship between trait EC and depressive symptoms (Batselé et al, 2019). These results suggest that having high HRV could be a protective factor against deleterious effects of some personality traits on mental health.…”

“…Emotion regulation thus appears to be only one subcomponent of the processes that are involved in HRV (Holzman & Bridgett, 2017). This is the reason why it has been suggested that trait EC, a wider and global concept of emotional management that encompasses emotion regulation, could be associated with HRV (Batselé, Stefaniak, & Fantini-Hauwel, 2019; Craig et al., 2009). If the mediation hypothesis of HRV on the relationship between emotional processes and health has been known for some years (Appelhans & Luecken, 2006), HRV has been recently proposed as a moderator of this relationship (Batselé et al., 2019; Ode, Hilmert, Zielke, & Robinson, 2010).…”

Purpose Depression and anxiety have been extensively associated with adverse outcomes in coronary heart disease patients. However, psychological and physiological processes underlying the persistence of these troubles in coronary heart disease patients attending cardiac rehabilitation are poorly investigated. Trait emotional competencies and heart rate variability could be some of these processes. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of trait emotional competencies and heart rate variability on depression and anxiety symptoms persistence in coronary heart disease patients. Methods Eighty-four patients who recently presented a myocardial infarction were evaluated at the beginning of cardiac rehabilitation. Forty-two patients continued their rehabilitation program and were then assessed three months later. They completed the Profile of Emotional Competence as well as the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and underwent a 5-minute resting heart rate variability measure. Results Low trait emotional competencies score predicted depression symptoms persistence, but unexpectedly, high trait emotional competencies score was also associated with withdrawal from cardiac rehabilitation. Contrary to our expectations, heart rate variability did not predict depression or anxiety symptoms persistence and was not associated with trait emotional competencies. Conclusions This study is the first to report an association between trait emotional competencies and depression symptoms persistence in coronary heart disease patients. However, heart rate variability was not associated with either depression or anxiety supporting the idea of mixed literature and highlighting the need of future research.

“…They are also useful to accurately predict external variables. In fact, previous studies found that intrapersonal and interpersonal EC were differently related to external criteria—for example, intrapersonal EC was more strongly related to objective indices of health [30], depression [33] and regulation of one’s own emotions [36, 72], whereas interpersonal EC was more strongly related to behaviors aimed at regulating others’ negative emotions [7, 73]. These results suggest that intrapersonal versus interpersonal dimensions can afford more nuanced exploration of relationships between EC and external variables and increase its predictive power.…”

Evaluating the higher-order structure of the Profile of Emotional Competence (PEC): Confirmatory factor analysis and Bayesian structural equation modeling

Emotional competence (EC) reflects individual differences in the identification, comprehension, expression, regulation, and utilization of one’s own and others’ emotions. EC can be operationalized using the Profile of Emotional Competence (PEC). This scale measures each of the five core emotional competences (identification, comprehension, expression, regulation, and utilization), separately for one’s own and others’ emotions. However, the higher-order structure of the PEC has not yet been systematically examined. This study aimed to fill this gap using four different samples (French-speaking Belgian, Dutch-speaking Belgian, Spanish, and Japanese). Confirmatory factor analyses and Bayesian structural equation modeling revealed that a structure with two second-order factors (intrapersonal and interpersonal EC) and with residual correlations among the types of competence (identification, comprehension, expression, regulation, and utilization) fitted the data better than alternative models. The findings emphasize the importance of distinguishing between intrapersonal and interpersonal domains in EC, offer a better framework for differentiating among individuals with different EC profiles, and provide exciting perspectives for future research.

Objective Interpersonal difficulties are evidenced in Anorexia Nervosa (AN) and are thought to contribute to disease onset and maintenance, however, research in the framework of emotional competence is currently limited. Previous studies have often only used static images for emotion recognition tasks, and evidence is lacking on the relationships between performance‐based emotional abilities and self‐reported intra‐ and interpersonal emotional traits. This study aimed to test multimodal dynamic emotion recognition ability in AN and analyze its correlation with the psychometric scores of self‐ and other‐related emotional competence. Method A total of 268 participants (128 individuals with AN and 140 healthy controls) completed the Geneva Emotion Recognition Test, the Profile of Emotional Competence, the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test, and measures of general and eating psychopathology. Scores were compared between the two groups. Linear mixed effects models were utilized to examine the relationship between emotion recognition ability and self‐reported measures and clinical variables. Results Individuals with AN showed significantly poorer recognition of emotions of both negative and positive valence and significantly lower scores in all emotional competence dimensions. Beside emotion type and group, linear mixed models evidenced significant effects of interpersonal comprehension on emotion recognition ability. Discussion Individuals with AN show impairment in multimodal emotion recognition and report their difficulties accordingly. Notably, among all emotional competence dimensions, interpersonal comprehension emerges as a significant correlate to emotion recognition in others, and could represent a specific area of intervention in the treatment of individuals with AN. Public Significance In this study, we evidence that the ability to recognize the emotions displayed by others is related to the level of interpersonal emotional competence reported by individuals with anorexia nervosa. This result helps in understanding the social impairments in people with anorexia nervosa and could contribute to advancements in the application of the training of emotional competence in the treatment of this disorder.
