Mothers' interoceptive knowledge predicts children's emotion regulation and social skills in middle childhood

Interoception, often defined as the perception of internal physiological changes, is implicated in many adult social affective processes, but its effects remain understudied in the context of parental socialization of children's emotions. We hypothesized that what parents know about the interoceptive concomitants of emotions, or interoceptive knowledge (e.g., “my heart races when excited”), may be especially relevant in emotion socialization and in supporting children's working models of emotions and the social world. We developed a measure of mothers' interoceptive knowledge about their own emotions and examined its relation to children's social affective outcomes relative to other socialization factors, including self‐reported parental behaviors, emotion beliefs, and knowledge of emotion‐relevant situations and non‐verbal expressions. To assess these, mothers (N = 201) completed structured interviews and questionnaires. A few months later, third‐grade teachers rated children's social skills and emotion regulation observed in the classroom. Results indicated that mothers' interoceptive knowledge about their own emotions was associated with children's social affective skills (emotion regulation, social initiative, cooperation, self‐control), even after controlling for child gender and ethnicity, family income, maternal stress, and the above maternal socialization factors. Overall, findings suggest that mothers' interoceptive knowledge may provide an additional, unique pathway by which children acquire social affective competence.     

亡宋流人家铉翁的家国情怀

宋元易代之际，家铉翁作为祈请使，被元朝羁縻北方十九年，南归时已年逾八十。今存其创作几乎全作于羁北期间，以抒发故乡之思、故国之念和坚守之志而深切动人，从中体现出深厚的家国情怀。其诗文多以乡国之思蕴涵黍离之悲，以前朝遗民流寓之身，亡国之恨不便于直接表达之故也。     

The Mediating Role of Emotion Dysregulation in the Relation Between Adult Attachment Insecurity and Depression Among Young Gay and Bisexual Men

Objectives: Attachment insecurity may be more pronounced among young gay and bisexual men (YGBM). Further, attachment insecurity is associated with dysregulated patterns of emotion regulation, which can lead to depression. However, pathways linking attachment insecurity to depression are underexplored among YGBM. Methods: This study used pilot data from N?=?67 YGBM to examine if emotion dysregulation mediated the association between attachment insecurity and depression. Results: Results supported the study hypotheses. Attachment insecurity was associated with emotion dysregulation, which was associated with depression. Conclusion: Findings provide preliminary evidence that emotion regulation training may be a useful approach for addressing depression among YGBM.     

A Pilot Study of 2 Brief Forms of Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training for Emotion Dysregulation in College Students

Abstract

Objective: To examine the feasibility and initial efficacy of 2 abbreviated dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills training groups: emotion regulation skills only and emotion regulation with mindfulness skills. Participants: Participants were 24 undergraduates (aged 18–29) with significant emotion dysregulation who participated between February and May of 2010, 2011, and 2012. Methods: Participants participated in 2-hour weekly group sessions for 8 weeks and completed outcome measures at baseline, midtreatment, posttreatment, and 4-week follow-up. Results: Participants in both conditions made significant gains, with large effect sizes, across measures of emotion regulation, affect, skills use, and functioning. There were no differences between the 2 groups, suggesting no additive benefit of mindfulness skills. Conclusions: This pilot study provides support for the acceptability and efficacy of abbreviated DBT skills training in colleges, given significant improvements, positive feedback, and low attrition. Impediments to feasibility included recruitment difficulties, particularly due to scheduling constraints.     

五十年来情绪人类学发展综述——心理人类学发展的趋势

人类学百年发展历程中,始终伴随着对心理学学科理论和实践资源的汲取,随着心理学逐渐对以往科学主义、本质主义的扬弃,将现象学、认知论纳入到学科反思、人类学研究也开辟了注重个体内在化情绪的人类学研究,形成了如今颇受瞩目的情绪人类学领域。阐释学大师格尔兹对于情绪关注的研究,启发后辈学者,心理人类学正越来越多地将情绪作为研究的对象,以揭示他者文化蕴藏的深意。

审美价值视阈内情感的缺失与回归

自人类步入近代社会以来,以精确化和数字化为手段,以功利和效率为最终目标的工具理性的肆虐与胜利不自觉地在消解着审美存在的意义,更是不断地驱逐其中所蕴含的重要的情感因素,这导致了审美价值的失落以及一些人情感生活"荒漠化"的严重后果。因此,从审美价值本身、现代工业文明以及审美文化的视角反思这一社会现象,对于真正情感的回归和审美价值的实现都有着重要的意义。     

酒能成事,酒亦能败事--《水浒传》人物情商研究之四

酒能激发人的情绪，情绪管理得如何，则取决于饮者的情商水平。透过《水浒传》中酒文化的描写，读者可以深刻地感受到其间各个人物情商的种种表现。武松嗜酒惹是非，又因醉后打虎成英雄；鲁达两次酗酒犯寺规，宋江不胜酒力吟反诗，李逵贪杯被捉，朱贵兄弟借助酒力救李逵，真应了“酒能成事，酒亦能败事”的格言。让嗜酒者克制酒瘾，控制好饮酒后兴奋度的根本方法，还是要努力培养和提高管理自己情绪的能力。     

How Mood and Task Complexity Affect Children's Recognition of Others' Emotions

Previous studies examined how mood affects children's accuracy in matching emotional expressions and labels (label‐based tasks). This study was the first to assess how induced mood (positive, neutral, or negative) influenced five‐ to eight‐year‐olds' accuracy and reaction time using both context‐based tasks, which required inferring a character's emotion from a vignette, and label‐based tasks. Both tasks required choosing one of four facial expressions to respond. Children responded more accurately to label‐based questions relative to context‐based questions at the age of five to seven, but showed no differences at the age of eight, and when the emotional expression being identified was happiness, sadness, or surprise, but not disgust. For the context‐based questions, children were more accurate at inferring sad and disgusted emotions compared with happy and surprised emotions. Induced positive mood facilitated five‐year‐olds' processing (decreased reaction time) in both tasks compared with induced negative and neutral moods. Results demonstrate how task type and children's mood influence children's emotion processing at different ages.
