▼ Alexithymia is a personality construct characterized by a deficit in the cognitive processing and regulation of emotion. The well documented association of alexithymia with illness has prompted investigations into pathways that might explain this association, such as physiological mechanisms or increased illness behaviour. The first aim of the present research was to explore the hypothesis that alexithymia has the potential to lead to disease because of peculiarities in physiological reactivity to emotional stimuli. The second aim was to examine the influence of alexithymia on self-report of somatic symptoms associated with a controlled medical event, and to extend assessment of cardiovascular reactivity to a qualitatively different emotional stressor in a quasi-naturalistic setting, thereby increasing generalizability. In Study One, film clips selected to induce positive and negative emotions were presented to high- and low-alexithymia men and women while physiological and cognitive-experiential facets of emotional responding were monitored. High-alexithymia males displayed reduced respiratory sinus arrhythmia in response to emotion induction, significantly different from the increase shown by others. This effect was independent of emotional valence or specificity. High-alexithymia individuals also reported lower ratings of positive emotions, greater confusion, and differences in thoughts related to evaluating and regulating their affective state. In Study Two, investigation of cardiovascular and emotional reactivity was extended beyond the laboratory to the blood donation clinic, which also provided a unique opportunity to evaluate the association between alexithymia and self-report of vasovagal symptoms. Alexithymia was positively associated with reported anxiety, pain, and vasovagal symptoms, and also with greater increases in systolic blood pressure in anticipation of blood donation. Objective indices of vasovagal reactions did not concur with self-report, suggesting an increased tendency in individuals higher in alexithymia to report more somatic complaints. In sum, while these data provide support for associations between alexithymia and differences in autonomic reactivity, these associations do not all fit neatly within a hypo- or hyperarousal model. Further research is recommended using methods such as ambulatory monitoring to examine response to more naturally occurring emotional events. Continued investigation of illness behaviours such as symptom reporting as they relate to alexithymia is also warranted.

▼ The adolescent transition involves a number of changes that for many adolescents result in increased negativity, heightened emotional reactivity, and risk for internalizing symptoms. The purpose of the present set of studies was to examine the role that emotional awareness has in relation to emotion regulation and to subsequent mood symptomatology in adolescence. The first study tested the hypothesized relationship between emotional awareness and emotion regulation, specifically, that emotional awareness is a necessary precursor to adaptive regulation efforts. This study examined the direct and indirect effects of emotional awareness on internalizing symptoms by exploring the extent to which certain emotion regulation strategies influence this relationship. The purpose of the second and third studies was to examine the association between emotional awareness and emotion regulation as measured by changes across three emotional response domains: 1) physiological arousal, 2) self-reported experience, and 3) observed expression during an ecologically valid emotion elicitation task. Participants in these studies were identified as alexithymic or non-alexithymic. Alexithymia involves difficulty identifying and describing emotions and has been used to classify individuals with extremely low emotional awareness. The second study examined the effects of alexithymia on the three emotional response domains in adolescents. Because of the high prevalence rates of alexithymia during adolescence, it could be an important vulnerability factor to help explain increases in internalizing symptoms during the adolescent transition. The purpose of the third study was to examine how patterns of decoupling between physiological arousal, self-reported experience, and observed expression were related to depressive and anxiety symptoms in alexithymic individuals. Overall, findings confirmed that emotional awareness is an important precursor to adaptive emotion regulation efforts. In addition, emotion regulation emerged as a more proximal mechanism in the development of depressive and anxiety symptoms in individuals with low emotional awareness. At a theoretical level, this research has guided our understanding of emotional processing and regulation. At a practical level, results from this program of research will help guide intervention and treatment approaches for adolescents with low emotional awareness.

▼ Background: Around 33-50% who attend treatment for substance use disorder (SUD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) have a history of trauma. Experiencing trauma can lead to psychological disorders, difficulties with emotional regulation and dissociation. SUD and AUD can be chronic, relapsing disorders and understanding what individual factors affect addiction has important implications for treatment. Objective: The systematic review was interested in whether alexithymia affects abstinence after relapse prevention treatment (both psychological and pharmacological). The review was also interested in whether alexithymia is a stable trait after relapse prevention treatment (both psychological and pharmacological) as measured by the Toronto Alexithymia Scale. The research study investigates the relationships between trauma, dissociation, alexithymia, emotional regulation and SUD, AUD and polysubstance use. There has been little research looking at the relationships between these variables and how they compare in different types of substance use. It was hypothesised that patients with poly-substance addiction will have higher incidents of trauma, dissociation, alexithymia and poorer emotional regulation when compared to alcohol and drug dependence alone. Methods: A systematic search of articles published between January 1989 - January 2017 was carried out following the Cochrane (2008) guidelines. PSYCHInfo, Medline and Cinahl were the key databases searched. Papers were quality assessed to identify strengths and weaknesses. The research study is a qualitative, cross-sectional design that involved ninety-one AUD, SUD and poly-substance use participants who were attending outpatient NHS addiction services. They were asked to complete questionnaires assessing trauma, dissociation, alexithymia and emotional regulation. Results: The systematic review found twelve articles that related to the review questions. The systematic review found alexithymia did not impact on abstinence and there was no difference between abstinence after treatment between low and high alexithymic groups. There were mixed results for whether alexithymia score changes after relapse prevention treatment. Overall, the results suggest that alexithymia is relatively stable across SUD and AUD after relapse prevention treatment. The empirical study found that there is no difference between type of addiction and trauma, alexithymia and emotional regulation. People with polysubstance misuse reported significantly higher levels of dissociation than the other two groups. Multiple regression was conducted on the full data set and it was found that emotional regulation, alexithymia and dissociation were able to predict trauma in alcohol, drug and polysubstance users. Conclusions: The systematic review found that despite the assumption that people with alexithymia have higher rates of relapse and attrition this is not the case. Alexithymia has no impact on treatment outcome. The review also found that CBT was identified as an effective relapse prevention treatment for…

Dissertação de Mestrado apresentada ao ISPA - Instituto Universitário

Com base na utilização do teste TAS-20, tentou-se analisar a incidência de alexitimia num grupo de toxicodependentes que administrou metadona em unidades móveis provenientes do Ministério da Saúde (IDT), por comparação com um grupo de indivíduos sem comportamentos de adição, num total de 92 indivíduos de ambos os sexos. O principal objectivo deste trabalho prende-se com o estudo da relação entre a alexitimia e a toxicodependência. Procurámos seleccionar esta doença de importância para a saúde pública no nosso país tendo um duplo objectivo. Primeiro, avaliar um estudo que contemple um conjunto de sujeitos ditos toxicodependentes, de modo a poderem comparar-se os valores de alexitimia desta população, com uma outra sem comportamentos de adição a drogas. Em segundo, procurou-se ainda ver se existem diferenças ou não, entre os valores de alexitimia apresentados em função das variáveis sócio-demográficas, como o sexo, a idade e por fim a escolaridade. Recorrendo à aplicação de um questionário, validou-se não só a utilidade da metodologia em estudo, como se diagnosticou a influência de determinadas variáveis no constructo alexitimia. A partir dos resultados encontrados, a alexitimia parece constituir um factor incidente nos comportamentos aditivos permitindo, também, directrizes para intervenções mais eficazes.

By using the test TAS-20, we tried to analyze the incidence of Alexithymia in drug addicted group who used methadone in mobile units from the Ministry of Health (IDT), by comparison with a group of individuals without any behavior related to addiction, in a total of 92 individuals from both sexes. The main goal of this essay/work is related with the study of the relation between Alexithymia and drug addiction. We tried to select this disease, which has a major importance to public health in our country, with a double objective. The first is to evaluate a study that contemplates an assembly of drug addict subjects, in a way that we could be able to compare the rates of Alexithymia of this population, with another without addiction to drugs behavior. Secondly, we also tried to examine if there were any differences between the Alexithymia rates presented, according to social-demographical factors, such as sex, age and educational level. By applying a questionnaire, we validated not only the usefulness of the methodology in study, but also we diagnosed the influence of several factors on Alexithymia construct. According to the results, Alexithymia seems to form a main factor on addicted behaviors, which gives us guidelines to more effective interventions.

▼ The aims of this study were to examine the relationship between psychological mindedness and adult attachment styles, and to assess the effects of a match or mismatch on these concepts between therapists and their clients. A critical review of the literature highlighted ambiguities in definition and measurement, which this study also aimed to clarify. A pilot study confirmed the validity of the measures chosen for the study and provided preliminary data. The main study consisted of a comparison between a therapist group and a client group on the Psychological Mindedness Scale (PMS), Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS- 20), Adult Attachment Scale (AAS), and the Hazan and Shaver attachment questionnaire (1987). The attachment dimensions on the AAS were also converted into Bartholomew's (1990) four-category model. A third group provided an unmatched control for the client group. The methodological limitations of the study, particularly due to the low response rate, further attrition from the client and control groups on follow-up after six months, and confounding factors associated with the groups, meant that only very tentative conclusions could be reached. Psychological mindedness and secure attachment were found to be positively correlated, and alexithymia and insecure attachment (particularly fearfulavoidant) negatively correlated. The therapist group had high levels of psychological mindedness and were mostly securely attached. The literature on 'wounded healers' was discussed in relation to those therapists who were insecurely attached. The client group were more insecurely attached than any of the other groups. Predictions about therapist and client matching on psychological mindedness and attachment styles were unable to be properly tested. The relevance of this study for psychotherapeutic practice, particularly in relation to the impact of similar or different attachment styles in therapists and clients, was discussed. A speculative model suggesting common pathways in the development of psychological mindedness and attachment styles was proposed.

▼ Background: Negative forms of self-relating such as self-criticism and self-judgement are known to contribute to poor mental health across diagnoses including eating disorders. Negative self-relating can lead to avoidance or suppression of emotions, and poor attachment relationships can lead to deficits in self-reassuring abilities. Self-compassion is a construct which is gaining attention in clinical research as a potentially important and healthy way of relating to the self in the face of painful or difficult experiences. Systematic review: A systematic review of the literature eating disorders and self-compassion suggested that lower levels of self-compassion are related to worse eating disorder pathology, particularly emotional eating, and body image dissatisfaction. Findings suggest that self-compassion training may have a role in multimodal prevention and treatment approaches for eating disorders, disordered eating and body image problems, particularly bulimia or binge eating disorders. The role in restrictive eating behaviour is less clear and warrants further research. Aims: This study was a cross-sectional study design with a purpose of conducting Confirmatory factor analysis on the Self-Compassion Scale – Short Form, and correlational analysis of the relationship between self-compassion, (as measured on SCS-SF) with emotion regulation difficulties, alexithymia and distress. Participants and procedure: 297 people referred to an adult clinical psychology service in Scotland completed the SCS-SF and measures of emotion regulation, alexithymia and distress. Results: CFAs did not support six factor or hierarchical models for SCS-SF. Instead a two-factor model was supported. Correlation analysis indicated that self-compassion is inversely associated with difficulties in emotion regulation, alexithymia and distress. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that self-compassion was a unique predictor of distress. Implications: Further clarification of the construct of self-compassion, its role in psychopathology and how it should be measured is required. It is important that as research involving self-compassion and its role in mental health services progresses, that psychometrically valid measures are employed. Furthermore, correlation and regression analyses suggest convergent validity for the construct of self-compassion, and support theoretical links with emotion regulation. Conclusions: Self-compassion appears to be an important variable in eating disorders pathology and appears to be linked with adaptive emotion regulation in clinical populations. However results suggest longitudinal research and a more robust measure is required for use in clinical populations, especially if information about facets of the construct are to be understood.

▼ Chronic headache (HA), a common condition among young adults, is exacerbated by stress. Arousal reducing techniques, such as relaxation training (RT), are moderately effective as stress-management techniques. Suppression of negative emotions, such as anger, has also been shown to worsen stress and pain. Previously, our laboratory found that an innovative 3-session, group-based anger awareness and expression training (AAET) intervention was comparable to group relaxation training (RT) in improving outcomes in HA, and both treatments were more beneficial than no intervention. However, it is likely that individuals respond differently to these interventions. A person's baseline emotion regulation abilities, assertiveness, and ambivalence over emotional expression likely influence their response to these interventions. Therefore, secondary analyses were conducted to explore how alexithymia and it's facets (difficulty identifying feelings, difficulty describing feelings, and externally oriented thinking), ambivalence over anger expression, and assertiveness, moderated the effects of AAET, RT, compared with each other and no intervention. A sample of 127 young adults with chronic HA were randomized to 1 of the 3 conditions (AAET, RT, or no-intervention control), and headache frequency, severity, and duration, physical symptoms, and affect were assessed at baseline and 6-week follow-up. Results indicated that AAET is beneficial at reducing headache symptoms, physical health problems, and anxiety for individuals who have difficulty identifying feelings and difficulty describing feelings, whereas RT has very minimal benefits for these individuals. In contrast, externally oriented thinking predicted greater physical symptoms after AAET compared to RT. Results also demonstrated that AAET is beneficial at reducing headache severity for individuals who are ambivalent over anger expression. Furthermore, AAET was effective at increasing positive affect for individuals who have a high baseline levels of assertiveness, but not useful for individuals with low assertiveness. These findings suggest that a brief, group-based intervention that incorporates anger awareness and expression skills can be beneficial for a subset of individuals with chronic HA.

▼ Alexithymia is a problematic psychological characteristic that limits oneâs ability to identify and describe internal emotional states. Heightened levels of alexithymia are ubiquitous among many mental and physical health disorders, and yet, much is unknown about how it alters emotional processing and how to improve it. Experiment one presents a novel, laboratory-based paradigm that facilitates collection of a wide range of emotional processes, including subjective and implicit measures of emotion, as well as aspects of emotional complexity. Results highlight reduced subjective arousal, increased response time to questions about emotional experiences, and reduced emotional dialecticism and granularity as the most important predictors of alexithymia, each of which differentially predicts components of alexithymia. Experiment two considers the role of interoceptive awareness for predicting alexithymia and performance on the tasks developed in experiment one. Interoceptive awareness refers to awareness of internal bodily states; though interoception is critical to the generation of subjective feelings states and many suspect it is involved in alexithymia, little is known about the relationship between the two. The present results suggest interoception plays a critical role in all components of alexithymia, supporting theories it is key to alexithymia. Interestingly, two subtypes of heightened alexithymia emerged from this work: one characterized by low interoceptive awareness and another characterized by high. Both likely interfere with daily function via different pathways. Experiment two also examines whether atypical aspects of emotional processing identified in experiment one improve in response to brief a mindfulness meditation or relaxation script. Results suggest that simple interventions may be successful in improving certain deficits associated with alexithymia, including interoceptive accuracy, normative labeling of emotional experiences, negative dialecticism and positive granularity, particularly among individuals with low interoceptive awareness at baseline. Findings have implications for treatment design and clarifying diagnostic patterns within alexithymia. These are discussed and many avenues for future research proposed.

▼ Deliberate self-harm (DSH) is defined in this thesis as the intentional, culturally unacceptable, self-performed, immediate and direct destruction of bodily tissue that is of low-lethality and absent of overdose, self-poisoning and suicidal intent. DSH is a serious mental health problem among young people internationally (Hawton et al., 2006; De Leo & Heller, 2004) and is associated with multiple maladaptive psychological and social outcomes (D'Onofrio, 2007; Hawton et al., 2006). This thesis utilised secondary school student (N=2068), teacher (N=109), guidance counsellor (N=8), and university student (N=2063) populations to assess factors relating to interpersonal and intrapersonal vulnerability to DSH, and how DSH is received and understood within young peoples' environment. Study 1 presents psychometric analyses, descriptive statistics and basic inferential statistics of surveys developed for secondary school student and university student populations. These surveys measured history of DSH and multiple correlates of DSH behaviour. Assessing the psychometric qualities of these surveys informed their later use in developing regression models of DSH in Study 2. Study 2 assessed predictors and functions of DSH behaviour using a variety of samples and methodologies. Study 2.1 presents cross-lag and structural equation models of DSH, where the most consistent direct predictor of DSH was low self-esteem, which was proximally impacted by internalising symptoms, and more distally by alexithymia and low mindfulness. Study 2.2a investigated functions of DSH, and how this related to psychological wellbeing. Engaging in DSH for emotional relief or control was associated with the poorest wellbeing among females (i.e. higher rates of DSH, sexual abuse and bullying), while engaging in DSH for multiple reasons was associated with the poorest wellbeing among males (i.e. higher rates of DSH, bullying, abuse history, and low resilience). Study 2.2b qualitatively investigated reasons given for youth DSH by secondary school students, university students, and secondary school teachers using content analysis; DSH was most often attributed to emotional issues (e.g. externalising emotional pain). Study 2.3 assessed the relationships between DSH, emotional experience, self-defeating thoughts, coping strategies, and substance abuse over a six week period with a sample of university students. DSH was linked to having more self-defeating thoughts and general negative emotional experience, as well as having more negative, and less positive, emotions during salient events. Study 3 investigated social responses to DSH through interviews with eight secondary school guidance counsellors (Study 3.1), and a survey study on stereotypes and attitudes towards DSH (Study 3.2). A thematic analysis was conducted on the interview transcripts, indicating that DSH was commonly viewed as immature, attention seeking, abnormal and dangerous. The interviews suggested stigma in secondary schools towards DSH and fear and resistance around engaging the issue. The… Advisors/Committee Members: Wilson, Marc, McDowall, John.

▼ Psychopathy has long been lauded as a premier predictor of negative behavioral outcomes because of its demonstrated associations with violence, antisocial conduct, and institutional maladjustment. Traditional conceptualizations of psychopathy highlight the relatively equal importance placed on personality features (i.e., a grandiose, deceitful interpersonal style and deficits in affective experience) and behavioral elements (i.e., an impulsive and irresponsible lifestyle marked by social deviance) of the syndrome. However, little research to date has investigated psychopathy dimensions in female samples, particularly as they relate to maladaptive behaviors beyond forensic settings. The current study comprehensively examined personality (i.e., Axis II Cluster B traits and alexithymia) and behavioral (i.e., suicide-related behavior and aggression) expressions of psychopathy in a sample of female inpatients recruited from trauma and dual-diagnosis units at a psychiatric hospital in Dallas, Texas. Contrary to expectations, the essential components of psychopathy in female psychiatric patients emphasized APD and NPD traits over features of HPD and BPD, which were relatively similar to elements traditionally highlighted in male psychopathy. On this point, two latent dimensions comprehensively addressed female psychopathy in the current sample: impulsive antisociality and narcissistic and histrionic interpersonal style. Interestingly, psychopathy (M r = .01) and Cluster B traits (M r = .05) were virtually unrelated to suicide-related behavior in female patients with trauma and substance use histories, but APD and BPD traits were more discerning for impulsive and premeditated aggression than variants of psychopathy. Aggression's relationship to BPD traits is at least partially mediated by alexithymia. These results are discussed in terms of improving evaluation and intervention efforts aimed at identifying and managing psychopathic females beyond forensic settings.

Psychology

Although research has shown that poor emotion awareness is significantly related to disordered eating, the majority of studies that have examined this relation have significant limitations. These limitations include lack of longitudinal data, little focus on the specificity of emotion awareness in predicting disordered eating versus general emotional distress, little focus on the roles of other emotional deficits, such as emotional avoidance and fear of emotions, an over-reliance on self-report data, a lack of research with sub-clinical populations, and a failure to examine possible interactions between emotion awareness and other known risk factors for disordered eating. The current study addressed some of these limitations by using a two-time point, prospective design to examine a variety of emotional processes, stress, dysfunctional appearance beliefs, and disordered eating in undergraduate females. At Time 1, participants (N = 187), ages 18-22, completed measures of emotion awareness, emotional avoidance, fear of emotions, depression, anxiety, dysfunctional appearance beliefs, life events/stress, and disordered eating. Three months later, at Time 2, participants (N = 158) repeated many of the Time 1 measures, in addition to completing a measure that assessed the frequency and subjective negative impact of life events experienced during the prospective period. Six main hypotheses were tested. As expected, emotion awareness was stable over time and was related to disordered eating cross-sectionally. Contrary to expectations, emotion awareness did not predict disordered eating prospectively, emotion awareness related more to depression and anxiety than to disordered eating, emotion awareness did not relate to disordered eating cross-sectionally or prospectively once emotional avoidance and fear of emotions were controlled, emotion awareness did not interact with life events/stress and dysfunctional appearance beliefs to predict disordered eating cross-sectionally or prospectively, and the ability to repair mood did not mediate the relation between emotion awareness and disordered eating. A notable finding involved the lack of specificity of emotion awareness to disordered eating versus depression and anxiety. In fact, depression and anxiety fully mediated the relation between poor emotion awareness and disordered eating. Following a review of the results, strengths and limitations, as well as clinical implications and potential future research directions are discussed.

▼ Dispositional traits, such as repressive coping (avoiding the experience of negative emotions), alexithymia (difficulty identifying or communicating negative emotions), and optimism, as well as coping style, negative affect, and illness knowledge are associated with health behavior change, adherence, and quality of life among cardiac patients. However, prior studies have not examined the influence of interactions among these factors for cardiac rehabilitation (CR) outcomes and adherence. Aims of the current study included: 1) To examine the impact of dispositional traits on treatment adherence, rehabilitation outcomes, and quality of life in CR patients; 2) to investigate the mediating influence of coping strategies on the relationship between dispositional traits and treatment adherence; 3) to examine effects of acute change in affect and illness knowledge among repressors on treatment adherence, CR outcomes, and quality of life; and, 4) to evaluate depressive and anxiety symptoms as mediators of the relationship between dispositional traits and CR treatment adherence/quality of life. The current study included 56 CR patients (65% male, 59% Caucasian, mean age = 59.5, SD = 12.2 years) who participated in a 12-week CR program that included 36 exercise sessions and 10 educational classes. Participants completed self-report measures at the initiation and completion of CR. At baseline, measures included repressive coping, alexithymia, optimism, depressive and anxiety symptoms, physical and emotional quality of life, and illness knowledge. At the completion of CR, participants completed measures of depressive and anxiety symptoms, physical and emotional quality of life, and illness knowledge. In addition, CR outcomes (e.g., change in VO2max, change in lipid consumption) and adherence (e.g., number of session attended and time spent exercising) were recorded. Visual analogue scales were completed before and after each education class to measure the impact of receiving illness knowledge on affect. Analyses of variance were employed to determine differences between repressors and non-repressors on CR outcomes and adherence. Linear regression was used to examine whether alexithymia and optimism were associated with change in CR outcomes and adherence. Hierarchical linear modeling was utilized to explore whether repressive coping, alexithymia, or optimism was associated with change in time spent exercising as prescribed over the course of CR. Results revealed overall improvement in lipid consumption,VO2max, and physical functioning, as well as increased positive affect and decreased negative affect after attending the education classes. Knowledge about heart disease increased by the conclusion of CR. Repressors engaged in less avoidance coping than non-repressors, and repressors reported increased negative affect post-CR. Greater illness knowledge among repressors at baseline was associated with reduced depressive symptoms following CR. Alexithymia was associated with both poorer attendance and avoidance coping.

▼ Normative Male Alexithymia (NMA; Levant 1992) and Gender Role Conflict (GRC; O’Neil, 2008) have emerged in the literature as empirically supported masculinity-based constructs that could be possible predictors of men’s psychological well-being. Moreover, several researchers examined the impact of masculinity in the contexts of men’s romantic relationships. Yet, there exists a paucity of research that investigates the intersection of the GRC, NMA, and men’s friendships, and psychological well-being of men. The purpose of this study was to examine the triadic relationship of GRC, NMA, and men’s friendships with other men; and the impact of this triadic relationship on men’s psychological well-being. The researcher collected survey data from 216 participants who identified as male. Data collection included responses to demographic questionnaires, Normative Male Alexithymia Scale (NMAS; Levant et al., 2006), Gender Role Conflict Scale (GRCS; O'Neil et al, 1986), Network of Relationships Questionnaire- Relationship Qualities Version (NRI-RQV; Buhrmester, 1992; Buhrmester & Furman, 2008), and the scales of Psychological Well-Being (SPWB; Ryff, 1989). Bivariate correlations revealed significant correlations among all four variables. NMAS scores yielded a small positive correlation (Cohen, 1988) with the NRI-RQV discordant scales scores (r = .202, p < .01), and a moderate negative correlation (Cohen, 1988) with the total full scale scores of PWB (r = -.427, p < .01). NRI-RQV discordant had a strong negative correlation (Cohen, 1988) with total scores of PWB (r = -.517, n = 216, p < .01). GRCS had a small negative correlation (Cohen, 1988) with the total scores of PWB full scales (r = -.166, n = 216, p < .05). The moderation analysis indicated that GRC significantly moderated the effect of NMA on men’s PWB scores (∆R² = .073, F (1,212) = 20.795, p < .001). High levels of NMA and friendship discords factored in as the best predictor of men’s PWB, and accounted for the 37% variation in overall PWB scores with an effect size of f² = .60. Clinical implications for mental health counselors are discussed based on the study’s results; limitations of the study and future directions are provided. Advisors/Committee Members: Andrea L. Dixon, Ph.D., Catherine Y. Chang, Ph.D., Gregory L. Brack, Ph.D., Brian J. Dew, Ph.D..

Alexitimia é o termo que descreve pessoas com dificuldade em reconhecer, processar e regular emoções. É considerada um factor de risco para alguns problemas de saúde ou psiquiátricos como o caso de abuso de substâncias, ataques de pânico, stress pós-traumático, doenças psicossomáticas e alimentares. A alexitimia reduz a probabilidade destes indivíduos responderem positivamente aos tratamentos convencionais aplicados a estas perturbações. Alguns estudos sugerem que intervenções terapêuticas, com estes sujeitos, que promovam a consciência emocional e integrem elementos simbólicos, podem ser eficazes na redução de características alexitímicas. Assim, relacionámos esta temática com a espontaneidade, visto que, a descoberta da potencialidade terapêutica da espontaneidade e os seus efeitos no reforço das interacções humanas, é uma das revelações mais intrigantes da psiquiatria moderna. O objectivo deste estudo é perceber que relação existe entre a alexitimia e a espontaneidade, qual a prevalência de cada uma, e atribuir um valor médio à espontaneidade, facto até à data inexistente. O método utilizado foi um estudo correlacional recorrendo aos instrumentos Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 (TAS-20) e Revised Spontaneity Assessment Inventory (SAIR). A amostra é caracterizada por 2940 indivíduos de Portugal Continental. Com os resultados obtidos constatou-se uma prevalência significativa de elevada alexitimia na amostra e uma correlação negativa entre os valores obtidos na TAS-20 e no SAI-R. Consegiu-se um ponto de corte para classificar os scores do SAI-R em baixa, moderada e elevada espontaneidade.

Alexithymia is a term most commonly used to describe people with difficulties in recognize, process and regulate emotions. It is considered a risk factor for some health problems or psychiatric disorders as substance abuse, panic disorders, post-traumatic stress, psychosomatic illnesses and eating problems. The alexithymia reduces the likelihood of these individuals respond positively to conventional treatments applied to these disturbances. Some studies suggest that therapeutic interventions with these individuals, that promote emotional awareness and integrate symbolic elements, may be effective in reducing alexithymic characteristics. Thus, we related this subject with spontaneity, whereas the discovery of the therapeutic potential of spontaneity and its effects in enhancing human interaction is one of the most intriguing revelations of modern psychiatry. The purpose of this study is to realize the relationship between alexithymia and spontaneity, which is the prevalence of each one, and assign an average value of spontaneity, that so far non-existent. The method used was a correlational study using the instruments Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 (TAS-20) and Revised Spontaneity Assessment Inventory (SAI-R). The sample is characterized by 2940 individuals from mainland Portugal. The results found a significant prevalence of high alexithymia in the sample and a negative correlation between the values obtained in TAS-20 and the…

Medicina - Pulmologija / Medicine - Pulmology

Astma kao jedna od najčešćih hroničnih bolesti utiče ne samo na fizičko nego i na mentalno zdravlje pacijenta. U mlađoj populaciji, uključujući i studente univerziteta, astma je od posebnog značaja, zbog više prevalencije u poređenju sa drugim hroničnim bolestima. Adolescenti sa astmom su u dva puta većem riziku za psihološke poremećaje kao što su anksioznost i depresija i u povećanom riziku za smrtni ishod zbod nje. Anksioznost i depresivnost su nezavisni faktori rizika za lošu kontrolu astme. Uloga aleksitimije, kao posebne specifične psihološke karakteristike opisane kao smanjene mogućnosti u prepoznavanju i opisivanju emocija, i povezanost sa nivoom anksioznosti i depresivnosti u astmi, takođe je prepoznata. Prevalencija aleksitimije je procenjena na 8-19% u opštoj populaciji, ali je primećena i kod obolelih od hroničnih bolesti. Aleksitimija može biti povezana sa rekurentnim veoma teškim egzacerbacijama kod obolelih od astme. Postoji mali broj istraživanja koja su pratila specifičnu ulogu aleksitimije u populaciji univerzitetskih studenta sa astmom. Cilj ove studije je bio da se odredi prevalencija aleksitimije kod studenata sa astmom, i njena relacija sa plućnom fumkcijom, anksioznošću i depresivnošću. Takođe, cilj je bio i validacija srpske verzije testa za kontrolu astme (ACT) kod obolelih od astme. Metod. Studija preseka je sprovedena u Zavodu za zdravstvenu zaštitu studenata u Beogradu, Srbija, i uključila je 210 studenata univerziteta sa astmom i 201 zdravog studenta kao kontrolnu grupu. Toronto aleksitimija skala (TAS-20) je korišćena za procenu aleksitimije i poređenje skorova tri glavna faktora aleksitimije: teškoće u prepoznavanju osećanja (Faktor 1), teškoće u opisivanju osećanja (Faktor 2) i eksterno orijentisano mišljenje (Faktor 3). Svi ispitanici su podvrgnuti spirometrijskom testiranju, procenjena im je kontrola astme korišćenjem Testa za kontrolu astme i na osnovu preporuka Globalne inicijative za astmu (GINE) i psihometrijski parametri su prezentovani Bekovom skalom depresivnosti (BDI) i Bekovom skalom anksioznosti (BAI). Psihometrijski skorovi izmereni ovim upitnicima su sumirani u Totalni psihometrijski skor (TPS) sa ciljem da se definiše odgovarajući psihološki poremećaj...
