Introduction: It is postulated that negative ruminations perpetuate insomnia symptoms by increasing arousal. Less is known about the role of positive rumination. In this study, we set out to test the association between positive and negative ruminations and subjective sleep and ask whether reappraisal and suppression moderate the relationship between rumination types and subjective sleep reports. Methods: 354 participants (59% women), ages 18-50, responded to online questionnaires regarding symptoms of insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index [ISI]), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire that provides separate scales for Reappraisal and Suppression, Negative Rumination (Ruminative Response Scale), Positive Rumination and Dampening (Responses to Positive Affect questionnaire), and general health and demographics.Results: All three rumination types significantly correlated with ISI (Negative Rumination: R=.567; Positive Rumination: R=-.128; Dampening: R=.519). The primary hypothesis was tested using six separate moderation models, where rumination type, emotion regulation style, and an interaction term were predictors and ISI as the outcome variable. The interaction terms of Negative Rumination with Reappraisal (β=-0.03) and Suppression (β=-0.07) were not significant; the interaction terms of Positive Rumination with Reappraisal (β=0.2) and Suppression (β=-0.17) were significant; and the interaction terms of Dampening with Reappraisal (β=-0.11) and Suppression (β=0.10) were significant. Discussion: Positive Rumination weakly and negatively correlated with ISI, but the combination with Reappraisal was associated with worse sleep. By contrast, Dampening was associated with worse subjective sleep, an effect attenuated by both emotion regulation strategies. Finally, Negative Rumination may be a more powerful regulator of emotion, unaffected by attempts to regulate the emotion.

IntroductionTheories have conceptualized pathological gambling as an attempt to cope with emotional states. However, there is a lack of research about emotion dysregulation in this population. In a similar way, few is known about the nature of emotion regulation strategies used by pathological gamblers. Furthermore, it is not clear if pathological gamblers have difficulties to regulate negative emotions (as sadness) or positive ones (as excitement).ObjectivesWe sought to explore the associations among pathological gambling, emotion dysregulation and different types of emotion regulation strategies, comparing a clinical sample with community participants.AimsTo highlight similarities and differences in emotion dysregulation between pathological gamblers and healthy participants.MethodsA sample of pathological gamblers and a sample of healthy men, were administered the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), Difficulties in Emotion regulation Scale-Positive (DERS-P), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) and the Ways of Savoring Checklist (WOSC).ResultsAs expected, both levels of emotion dysregulation and suppression were significantly higher in the clinical sample while levels of savoring and reappraisal were significantly higher in the community sample.ConclusionsSuch results confirm the theorization of pathological gambling as a dysfunctional response to emotional states and underline the role of positive emotions. Specifically, pathological gamblers may be prone to suppress negative emotions instead to engage in functional strategies as reappraisal. Gamblers also fail to regulate positive emotions showing a poor capacity of savoring positive moments.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

The Given

The given study found relationship between emotion dysregulation and psychological distress in students. Correlation research design was used to explore the results of 400 students of age ranges 15-25, (male=200, female=200) from different educational institutes of Lahore. Difficulties in emotion regulation scale (DERS; Gratz & Roemer, 2004) and Kessler’s scale of psychological distress (Kessler, 2002) were used to found dysregulated emotions and psychological issues respectively. Analysis was conducted to find relationship between emotion dysregulation and psychological distress as well predicting role of emotions for outcome variable psychological distress. Result showed significant relationship between emotion dysregulation and psychological distress. Moreover, result showed emotion dysregulation positively predicted psychological distress. on the basis of this information future mental health related programs and advanced intervention plans would be introduced at educational institutes to reduce distress due to dysregulated/maladaptive emotions

This article introduces Cognitive Health Counseling 40+ (CH.CO40+), an individualized intervention that is conceptually based on the orchestration model of quality-of-life management ( Martin & Kliegel, 2010 ) and aims at improving satisfaction with cognitive health in adults aged 40 years and older. We describe the theoretically deduced characteristics of CH.CO40+, its target group, its multifactorial nature, its individualization, the application of subjective and objective measures, the role of participants as agents of change, and the rationale for choosing participants’ satisfaction with their cognitive health as main outcome variable. A pilot phase with 15 middle-aged and six older adults suggests that CH.CO40+ attracts, and may be particularly suitable for, subjective memory complainers. Implications of the pilot data for the further development of the intervention are discussed.

Measure Sense

Abstract. The present study aimed at evaluating if the three-item sense of coherence (SOC) scale developed by Lundberg and Nystrom Peck (1995) can be effectively used for research purpose in both nonclinical and clinical samples. To provide evidence that it represents adequately the measured construct we tested its validity in a nonclinical (N = 658) and clinical sample (N = 764 patients with cancer). Results obtained in the nonclinical sample attested a positive relation of SOC – as measured by the three-item SOC scale – with Antonovsky’s 13-item and 29-item SOC scales (convergent validity), and with dispositional optimism, sense of mastery, anxiety, and depression symptoms (concurrent validity). Results obtained in the clinical sample confirmed the criterion validity of the scale attesting the positive role of SOC – as measured by the three-item SOC scale – on the person’s capacity to respond to illness and treatment. The current study provides evidence that the three-item SOC scale is a valid, low-loading, and time-saving instrument for research purposes on large sample.
