Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

19.0K
One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused

634
Emotion-focused coping refers to a set of strategies aimed at managing the emotional impact of stressors, rather than directly addressing their causes. This approach involves altering one's emotional response to stressful situations to reduce their psychological effects. For example, individuals might talk with a friend or engage in activities like journaling to express their feelings. Such actions can help achieve emotional clarity or release, providing the psychological stability needed...

Self-Regulation01:25

Self-Regulation

305
Self-regulation, also known as self-control, encompasses a range of cognitive and behavioral processes that allow individuals to adjust their internal states and outward actions to align with socially acceptable norms and long-term goals. It plays a fundamental role in adaptive functioning, from resisting impulsive behaviors to persisting through challenging tasks. While its benefits are widely recognized, self-regulation is not limitless. Muraven and Baumeister's theory posits that...

The Influence of Cognition on Affect

262
Cognition plays a pivotal role in shaping emotional experiences, as demonstrated by Schachter and Singer’s two-factor theory of emotion. According to this model, emotion arises from a combination of physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation. The body’s physiological response to stimuli is ambiguous and only gains emotional significance through cognitive labeling. For instance, an increased heart rate and adrenaline surge while standing near an attractive person may be...

Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline Personality Disorder is a complex and multifaceted mental health condition characterized by pervasive instability in interpersonal relationships, self-image, emotions, and impulse control. This instability manifests in extreme emotional reactions, fear of abandonment, and self-destructive behaviors. The disorder significantly impacts daily functioning, often leading to distress in both personal and professional domains.

Labeling Emotion01:20

Labeling Emotion

811
Emotional labeling is a cognitive process that involves identifying and naming one's emotions, such as anger, fear, happiness, or sadness. It allows individuals to recognize and express their internal emotional states, a critical aspect of emotional regulation and communication. Labeling emotions requires more than mere recognition; it also involves drawing upon memory and contextual cues to understand the current situation and apply a corresponding emotional label. For instance, feeling...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Emotion dysregulation is a significant factor in various psychiatric disorders.
  • Existing literature lacks a unified definition for emotion dysregulation.
  • The concept's role in psychopathology requires further elucidation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the concept of emotion dysregulation.
  • To identify its core dimensions and their prevalence in psychiatric conditions.
  • To offer suggestions for enhancing future research and clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of articles on emotion dysregulation.
  • Searches conducted on electronic databases up to May 2016.
  • Analysis of identified articles to define and categorize dimensions of emotion dysregulation.

Main Results:

  • Five overlapping dimensions of emotion dysregulation identified: decreased emotional awareness, inadequate emotional reactivity, intense emotional experience/expression, emotional rigidity, and cognitive reappraisal difficulty.
  • These dimensions are present in various psychiatric disorders, notably borderline personality disorder and eating disorders.
  • The review highlights the pervasive nature of emotion dysregulation across psychopathology.

Conclusions:

  • Emotion dysregulation is a multifaceted construct with identifiable core dimensions.
  • A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions is vital for advancing clinical practice and research in psychiatry.
  • Further research is needed to fully delineate the complexities of emotion dysregulation.
