Parental responses to youth negative affect have been associated with social and emotional outcomes in youth. However, the association between such parenting behaviors and essential components of youth emotion regulation is not well studied, especially in youth with anxiety and depressive disorders. This investigation examined the influence of parents’ emotion regulation strategies and their responses to youth negative affect on adolescent-reported emotional awareness and emotional expression in a clinical sample of youth with anxiety disorders. In addition, this study examined the relationship between parent-reported use of emotion regulation strategies and parental reactions to youth negative affect. Questionnaires were completed by 67 adolescents (ages 12–18 years) and by one of their parents during an intake assessment at a university-based clinic. Adolescents had a primary anxiety or depressive disorder diagnosis. Results indicated a positive relationship between parent-reported use of suppression and youth report of poor emotional understanding in adolescents with a primary anxiety or depressive disorder. A positive relationship between parent-reported use of reappraisal and emotion-coaching responses to youth negative affect was also found. Clinical implications of these findings are discussed in the context of parental socialization of youth emotion regulation and in terms of prevention and intervention efforts.

SammanfattningKlimatförändringarna är ett av de mest allvarliga hållbarhetsproblem som mänskligheten står inför och är en viktig del av utbildning för hållbar utveckling. Genom dess existentiella, politiska och moraliska/etiska karaktär är klimatfrågan värdeladdad och även förknippad med en mängd känslor. Många människor oroar sig över klimatförändringarna och studier har visat att känslor ofta uppväcks i klassrummet då man undervisar om detta problem och andra hållbarhetsutmaningar. Syftet med denna artikel är att genom en genomgång av teorier och tidigare empiriska studier visa på att inte bara känslor utan också känslohanteringsstrategier är en viktig del av klimatundervisningen och att lärare spelar en viktig roll för om dessa strategier kommer att främja eller hindra läroprocesser inom detta område. Lärare har betydelse både genom att vara förebilder och genom hur de bemöter ungas känslor i klassrummet. I artikeln argumenteras för vikten av att inkludera främjandet av en ”kritisk känslokompetens” dels i lärarutbildningen och dels i utbildning för hållbar utveckling i skolan. Avslutningsvis ges några konkreta exempel på hur detta kan genomföras.Nyckelord: utbildning för hållbar utveckling, klimatförändringar, känslor, känslohanteringsstrategier, meningsfokuserad coping, lärandeEmotions, values and education for a sustainable future:Promoting critical emotional awareness in climate educationAbstractClimate change is one of the most serious sustainability problems facing humanity today. It is also an important part of education for sustainable development. Through its existential, political and moral/ethical nature, the climate issue is value laden and also associated with a multitude of feelings. Many people worry about climate change, and studies have shown that emotions are often evoked in the classroom when teaching about this problem and other sustainability challenges. The purpose of this article is to show, through a review of theories and previous empirical studies, that not only emotions but also emotion regulation strategies are an important part of climate change education and that teachers play a vital role in whether these strategies will promote or hinder learning processes. Teachers are important both by being role models and by how they respond to the feelings of young people in the classroom. The article argues for the importance of including and promoting "critical emotional awareness" in teacher education and in teaching about education for sustainable development in schools. In the end of the article some concrete examples of how this can be done are presented.Keywords: education for sustainable development, climate change, emotions, emotion regulation strategies, meaning-focused coping, learning

<p>Application of psychological interventions is essential in classic treatments for patient with cardiac diseases. The present study compared cognitive emotion regulation strategies, positive affect, and negative affect for cardiac patients with healthy subjects. This study was a case-control study. Fifty subjects were selected using convenient sampling method from cardiac (coronary artery disease) patients presenting in Imam Ali medical center of Kermanshah, Iran in the spring 2013. Fifty subjects accompanied the patients to the medical center, selected as control group, did not have any history of cardiac diseases. For collecting data, the cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire and positive and negative affect scales were used. For data analysis, multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) Was applied using the SPSS statistical software (ver. 19.0).<strong> </strong>In all cognitive emotion regulation strategies, there was a significant difference between the two groups. A significant difference was also detected regarding positive affect between the two groups, but no significant difference was found regarding negative affect. We found as a result that, Having poor emotion regulation strategies is a risk factor for developing heart<em> </em>diseases.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> cognitive emotion regulation, positive affect, negative affect, cardiac disease</p><p> </p>

Background: Previous studies revealed that female adolescents are more likely than males to engage in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) to regulate negative emotions; however, the dimensions of emotion regulation that are associated with NSSI behavior in adolescents require further examination. The present study aimed to identify Taiwanese female adolescent clusters with NSSI engagement frequency and to evaluate the association of specific forms of emotion dysregulation with NSSI. Methods: The participants were 438 female adolescents (mean age = 15.23 years, SD = 1.24, range between 13 and 18) recruited from 11 high schools. Self-report questionnaires assessing NSSI, difficulties in emotion regulation, and positive and negative affect were administered, and 37% of respondents reported a history of NSSI. Results: The analysis of NSSI frequency yielded three groups: severe, moderate, and non-NSSI. High negative affect, low positive affect, and difficulties in all aspects of emotion regulation differentiated female adolescents in the severe NSSI group from their counterparts in the non-NSSI group. The moderate and severe NSSI groups were further distinguished by age of onset, negative affect, emotion regulation strategies, and impulse control. Adolescents classified in the severe group reported earlier onset of NSSI, higher negative affect, less emotion regulation strategies, and more difficulty with impulse control. Conclusions: The results indicate that assessments of NSSI and emotion regulation should be incorporated in youth mental health screening. The clinical implications of NSSI behavior intervention require further discussion.

In retail, emotion-fueled impulse purchases constitute a large part of everyday consumer purchases. Thus, emotion regulation training could benefit consumers to help to control their impulsive buying. Yet, emotion regulation strategies are not unequivocally associated with positive effects. Since research investigating emotion regulation in consumer contexts is scarce, the goal of this study is to examine whether emotion regulation training could be a valuable tool for consumers to help to limit impulse spending. Customers at a local supermarket were recruited and randomly assigned to three groups: re-appraisal (n = 50), suppression (n = 50) and neutral (n = 50). The results show that re-appraisal does not differ affect impulse purchasing whilst the suppression group made significantly more impulse purchases and spent more compared to the neutral group. Yet, trait re-appraisal was associated with reduced impulsive purchasing in consumers with higher levels of negative emotions. The findings confirm that suppression appears a maladaptive form of emotion regulation and suggest that re-appraisal training could be a valuable tool for consumers, particularly for consumers with high levels of negative affect
