There is no document that analyzes the state of the art of scientific research published between 2013 and 2018 in relation to possible interdependence links between emotional regulation [ER] and healthy behaviors associated with Body Energy Balance [BEB] (physical activity, balanced diet and sleep hygiene). To achieve this purpose, an exploratory systematic review was conducted, whose search criteria were “emotion regulation”, “emotion dysregulation” connected with the Boolean operator “AND” to the keywords “sleep hygiene”, “eating behavior” and “physical activity”. Terms like “alexithymia”, “depression”, “stress”, “negative emotions”, and “rumination” were omitted. The methodological quality of the evidence was assessed with a patented rubric. After applying the analysis criteria, 35 articles were obtained, reporting theexistence of reciprocal associations and interactions between ER and at least one of the three behaviors associated with BEB were analyzed. It is concluded that, despite the importance of these behaviors in the vital maintenance of people and the clear impact that emotional regulation has on them, their research has not been sufficient, and more empirical studies in this regard in Latin America are needed.

Hace falta evidencia acerca de la sinergia entre los factores psicológicos y contextuales que subyacen a la práctica simultánea de las conductas del balance energético corporal [BEC] (actividad física [AF], alimentación saludable [AS] y sueño de calidad [SC]). Por ello, se busca identificar si el optimismo disposicional [OD], flexibilidad en regulación emocional [RE], las creencias compensatorias en salud [CCS] y factores ambientales – socioculturales, predicen los dominios conductuales señalados en adultos, a través de un Modelo de Ecuaciones Estructurales [MEE]. Para ello, se dispuso de una investigación explicativa trasversal con una muestra de 300 participantes, que diligenciaron un cuadernillo compuesto por instrumentos psicométricos validados (uno por cada variable indagada). Los resultados establecieron que la tendencia a la realización de las conductas el BEC es predicha por los factores contextuales referidos y las variables psicológicas evaluadas (R=.54, valor p < .05). Se valida un modelo hipotético que incorpora el agregado conductual del sueño en la ecuación del BEC, susceptible de modificación e inclusión de nuevas variables.  Abstract. There is a lack of evidence about the synergy between the psychological and contextual factors that underlie the simultaneous practice of the behavioral domains of the Body Energy Balance [BEB] (Physical Activity [PA], Healthy Eating [HE] & Quality Sleep [QS]). Therefore, we seek to identify whether dispositional optimism [DO], emotion regulation [ER] flexibility, compensatory health beliefs [CHB], and environmental-sociocultural factors, predict behaviors of the body energy balance [BEB] in adults, through a Structural Equation Model [SEM]. To do this, cross-sectional explanatory research was available with a sample of 300 participants, who completed a booklet made up of validated psychometric instruments (one for each variable investigated). The results established that the tendency to perform the BEB behaviors is predicted by the contextual factors referred to, and the psychological variables were evaluated (R=.54, p-value < .05). A hypothetical model that incorporates the behavioral aggregate of sleep in the BEB equation is validated, subject to modification and inclusion of new variables.

Emotion regulation skills develop substantially across adolescence, a period characterized by emotional challenges and developing regulatory neural circuitry. Adolescence is also a risk period for the new onset of anxiety and depressive disorders, psychopathologies which have long been associated with disruptions in regulation of positive and negative emotions. This paper reviews the current understanding of the role of disrupted emotion regulation in adolescent anxiety and depression, describing findings from self-report, behavioral, peripheral psychophysiological, and neural measures. Self-report studies robustly identified associations between emotion dysregulation and adolescent anxiety and depression. Findings from behavioral and psychophysiological studies are mixed, with some suggestion of specific impairments in reappraisal in anxiety. Results from neuroimaging studies broadly implicate altered functioning of amygdala-prefrontal cortical circuitries, although again, findings are mixed regarding specific patterns of altered neural functioning. Future work may benefit from focusing on designs that contrast effects of specific regulatory strategies, and isolate changes in emotional regulation from emotional reactivity. Approaches to improve treatments based on empirical evidence of disrupted emotion regulation in adolescents are also discussed. Future intervention studies might consider training and measurement of specific strategies in adolescents to better understand the role of emotion regulation as a treatment mechanism.

In five experiments where guar gum (GG) or Solka-floc cellulose (SF) supplemented a semi-synthetic diet (100 g/kg) for male Wistar rats at 21°, it was found that GG acutely depressed both ad lib. and meal-fed food intakes by 40–50 %. The effect was temporary, with the GG having no effects on food intake in the longer term. Dietary energy balance over 28 d with animals fed on equal amounts of a basal ration showed partial digestible energy values, calculated from the intake and faecal loss of energy, for the supplements which averaged 0 kJ/g SF and 10 kJ/g GG, so that GG contributed substantial amounts of absorbable energy. Despite this additional energy from GG, there was very often no additional gain of body fat. Rather, in some experiments, fat deposition was actually decreased by supplementation with GG. GG is inferred to have a putative thermogenic effect which is often greater than the energy it supplies. This effect occurred to a greater extent in circumstances associated with a higher ‘energy status’, indicated by higher efficiencies of conversion of gross dietary energy to retained body energy, higher fat: lean tissue deposition ratios and the occurrence of larger deposits at the epididymal fat pad site. There was some evidence that deposition at this site was more extensively affected by GG than deposition of fat in the body as a whole. Possible implications of the present findings are discussed.

Difficulties In Emotion Regulation

AbstractBackground and aimsDifficulties in Emotion Regulation (ER) are related to the etiology and maintenance of several psychological disorders, including Eating Disorders (ED) and Gambling Disorder (GD). This study explored the existence of latent empirical groups between both disorders, based on ER difficulties and considering a set of indicators of personality traits, the severity of the disorder, and psychopathological distress.MethodsThe sample included 1,288 female and male participants, diagnosed with ED (n = 906) and GD (n = 382). Two-step clustering was used for the empirical classification, while analysis of variance and chi-square tests were used for the comparison between the latent groups.ResultsThree empirical groups were identified, from the most disturbed ER profile (Subgroup 1) to the most functional (Subgroup 3). The ER state showed a linear relationship with the severity of each disorder and the psychopathological state. Different personality traits were found to be related to the level of emotion dysregulation.Discussion and conclusionIn this study, three distinct empirical groups based on ER were identified across ED and GD, suggesting that ER is a transdiagnostic construct. These findings may lead to the development of common treatment strategies and more tailored approaches.

Children acquire and develop emotional regulatory skills in the context of parent-child attachment relationships, nonetheless empirical studies have focused mainly on mother and less information is available regarding the role of both parent-child attachment relationships. Furthermore, despite its importance, there is no information regarding preschool years. This study aims to fill this gap by exploring the potential influences of both mother-child and father-child attachments on preschooler's later emotion regulation observed in the peer group. Fifty-three Portuguese nuclear families (mother, father and focal child) participated in the study; 47% of the children were boys and 53% were girls. Attachment Security was assessed at home using the Attachment Behavior Q-set when children were 3 years of age, and emotion regulation was observed in the preschool classrooms attended by the children at age 5, using the California child Q-sort to derive an Emotion Regulation Q-Scale. Results showed that the combined influence of both parent-child attachment security predicted better emotion regulation results, than did the specific contributions of each parent per se. Findings are consistent with integrative approaches that highlight the value of including both mother- and father-child attachment relationships, as well as their combined effect, when studying emotion regulation.

Fat Free Mass

In adults, body mass (BM) and its components fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) are normally regulated at a constant level. Changes in FM and FFM are dependent on energy intake (EI) and energy expenditure (EE). The body defends itself against an imbalance between EI and EE by adjusting, within limits, the one to the other. When, at a given EI or EE, energy balance cannot be reached, FM and FFM will change, eventually resulting in an energy balance at a new value. A model is described which simulates changes in FM and FFM using EI and physical activity (PA) as input variables. EI can be set at a chosen value or calculated from dietary intake with a database on the net energy of foods. PA can be set at a chosen multiple of basal metabolic rate (BMR) or calculated from the activity budget with a database on the energy cost of activities in multiples of BMR. BMR is calculated from FFM and FM and, if necessary, FFM is calculated from BM, height, sex and age, using empirical equations. The model uses existing knowledge on the adaptation of energy expenditure (EE) to an imbalance between EI and EE, and to resulting changes in FM and FFM. Mobilization and storage of energy as FM and FFM are functions of the relative size of the deficit (EI/EE) and of the body composition. The model was validated with three recent studies measuring EE at a fixed EI during an interval with energy restriction, overfeeding and exercise training respectively. Discrepancies between observed and simulated changes in energy stores were within the measurement precision of EI, EE and body composition. Thus the consequences of a change in dietary intake or a change in physical activity on body weight and body composition can be simulated.

Cognitive Component

The evaluation of emotion regulation has been focused on the cognitive component and the emotion dysregulation. However, it is also important to include emotion identification and modulation of the response for the evaluation of the regulatory process. The aim of this study was to develop a multidimensional measure of emotion regulation process in adolescents and to examine its factorial structure and reliability. An instrumental study was performed with 887 Mexican adolescents aged 13 to 18. A preliminary version of the Multidimensional Scale of Emotion Regulation for Adolescents (MSERA) was developed based on focus groups and considering the assumptions of the theoretical models. The exploratory factor analysis yielded 56 items distributed in eight factors: Recognition of positive emotions, Expression of positive emotions, Emotional control, Suppression, Cognitive change, Physical reactions, Recognition of negative emotions and Difficulty to regulate. A confirmatory factor analysis using the Robust Unweighted Least Squares, corroborated the initial solution of eight factors and showed acceptable fit indexes, considering 47 items. Ordinal alpha coefficients obtained for the factors of the final model, indicated a good internal consistency (.85-.95). Results suggest that the MSERA can be used as a valid and reliable measure of emotion regulation in adolescents.

IntroductionEmotional disturbances are a central characteristic of many mental disorders, including alcohol addiction.ObjectivesIn this study we aimed to investigate the emotion disregulation among alcohol use disorders and to compare the emotion regulation difficulties with type 1 and type 2 alcoholism.MethodsThirty-three treatment-seeking AUD individuals were recruited from addiction division of psychiatry department of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University. Patients who agreed to participate in the study and completed detoxification treatment were enrolled to the study. After describing the study and obtaining informed consent, participants were assessed with demographic questionnaires (including questions such as age, gender, income status, duration of alcohol use, amount of alcohol use, duration of abstinence were given to participants) followed by the semi-structured interview. Emotion regulation was assessed with the difficulties in emotion regulation scale.ResultOf the patients, 93.9% were male. The average age of participants was 41.21 ± 12.8 years. Of the participants, 60.6% were type 1 and 39.4% of type 2. There was statistically significant difference between type 1 and type 2 alcoholism in terms of emotion regulation. Type 2 alcoholism has more emotional regulation difficulties than type 1 alcoholism. This finding may be consistent with earlier onset of having more impulsive drinking pattern in type 2.ConclusionsIn conclusion alcohol use disorders are thought to be associated with emotion dysregulation. Emotion regulation difficulties, was higher in type 2 than type 1. Emotional regulation strategies should be considered in the interventions and may be evaluated as a new prognostic criteria.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
