“…According to González et al, there is a strong correlation between sources of stress and recovery and affect balance. 24 It has been accepted that positive affect provides a protective effect with respect to mental health. 16 In China, the incidence rate of negative affect, especially depressive symptoms among empty-nest older adults, is much higher than for any other aged individual groups.…”

Aim To evaluate the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) within the empty‐nest older adults population in poor rural areas of the Hunan province of China, and to explore the effects of resilience and affective balance on cognitive functioning within this specific population. Methods A cross‐sectional, multistage, random cluster survey was administered to participants from March 2013 to December 2014 in the Hunan province. There were a total of 1164 participants. These participants were empty‐nest older adults who were residing in poor rural areas of the Hunan province. The data was collected in two stages. In stage 1, the participants were administered the Montreal Cognitive Assessment for screening cognitive impairment. In stage 2, the participants were screened for any potential cognitive impairment, were administered a series of neuropsychological tests and received a definitive diagnosis for MCI, if the criteria were met. Resilience and affect balance were assessed by the Chinese modified version of the Stress Resilience Quotient and the Affect Balance Scale. Results The prevalence of MCI was 38.40% within this empty‐nest older adult population. Significant differences were found between MCI and non‐MCI empty‐nest older adults specific to resilience and affect balance. Path analysis showed that resilience mediated the relationship between MCI and affect balance. Conclusions Resilience and affect balance were less prominent within the MCI empty‐nest older adults than those in the non‐MCI group. The results suggest that resilience is a mediating variable between MCI and affect balance. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2019; 19: 222–227.

“…In stress-related contexts, the perception of threat can be fed by an unremitting flow of daily concerns, worries and hassles [60][61][62] , derived from the person's inner and outer world. Other personality, cognitiveaffective and social factors, such as neuroticism 63 , perseverative thinking 60,61 , pain catastrophizing 64 , unbalanced affect and limited adaptive resources [65][66][67][68][69][70] , as well as unsupportive social environments 46,47 , can contribute to minimizing safeness and augment perceptions of threat. A qualitative study of a small group of women with fibromyalgia reported that participants exhibited "signs of a threatening world of experiences" 71 .…”

Emotion regulation and the salience network: a hypothetical integrative model of fibromyalgia

et al. 2022

Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances and other symptoms, and has a substantial socioeconomic impact. Current biomedical and psychosocial treatments are unsatisfactory for many patients, and treatment progress has been hindered by the lack of a clear understanding of the pathogenesis of fibromyalgia. We present here a model of fibromyalgia that integrates current psychosocial and neurophysiological observations. We propose that an imbalance in emotion regulation, reflected by an overactive 'threat' system and underactive 'soothing' system, might keep the 'salience network' (also known as the midcingulo-insular network) in continuous alert mode, and this hyperactivation, in conjunction with other mechanisms, contributes to fibromyalgia. This proposed integrative model, which we term the Fibromyalgia: Imbalance of Threat and Soothing Systems (FITSS) model, should be viewed as a working hypothesis with limited supporting evidence available. We hope, however, that this model will shed new light on existing psychosocial and biological observations, and inspire future research to address the many gaps in our knowledge about fibromyalgia, ultimately stimulating the development of novel therapeutic interventions.Sections 'chronic primary pain', a new major category comprising five subtypes that reflect the distinct anatomical sites or body systems affected by pain 23 . Fibromyalgia belongs to the 'chronic widespread pain' subtype; the other four are complex regional pain syndrome, chronic primary headache or orofacial pain, chronic primary visceral pain, and chronic primary musculoskeletal pain.An even wider scope emerges when the broader overarching concept of central sensitivity syndromes is considered 24 . Central sensitivity syndromes comprise most COPCs as well as conditions not primarily typified by pain, such as periodic limb movement in sleep, multiple chemical sensitivity, female urethral syndrome and post-traumatic stress disorder 24 (see Fig. 2). All these conditions share evidence of central sensitivity and, to a lesser extent, similar neurotransmitter imbalance. They all show small-to-moderate response to serotoninnorepinephrine reuptake inhibitors and other centrally acting agents (for example, gabapentinoids) and little to no response to NSAIDs and opioids. These central sensitivity syndromes are frequently comorbid, are more common in women than in men, have a high prevalence of stress-related manifestations and psychopathology, and are associated with high sensitivity to daily and chronic stressors and increased sensitivity to everyday environmental sensory stimuli 24 .

“…Schimmack (2008) defined affect balance as positive minus negative affect. Several studies have since explored affect balance (Gonzalez et al, 2015;Liu et al, 2013;Sirois & Hirsch, 2015;Zhu, 2015). Lui et al (2013) found that higher scores for affect balance in part mediated the relationship between emotional intelligence and increased subjective well-being.…”

“…Affect balance refers to the overall emotional wellbeing of an individual which incorporates both positive and negative feelings (Gonzalez et al, 2015;Sirois & Hirsch, 2015;Zhu, 2015). The Positive Affect Negative Affect Scale (PANAS; Watson et al, 1988) measures positive and negative affect.…”

This study explored relationships between affect balance and both objective and perceived cognitive and physical function in adults 50+ years of age, with and without a chronic condition. This allowed exploration of possible distinctions between healthy aging and what might be considered accentuated aging in fibromyalgia (FM). Accentuated aging occurs in those who experience multiple comorbidities, such that a single disease diagnosis may not contribute to accelerated aging (decreased cognitive or physical function) but when combined with other conditions may speed decline (Pathai et al., 2014).Fibromyalgia (FM), a widespread chronic pain condition affecting approximately 5% of the population, is associated with mood disturbances, especially depression (Ghiggia et al., 2017). This makes emotional affect
