Do gender, age, and emotional intelligence affect the emotional regulation of adolescents involved in cyberbullying?

The objective of this study was to explore how age, gender, and emotional intelligence impact emotion regulation in adolescents participating in cyberbullying. A cross-sectional study was conducted in January 2023, involving 108 teenagers selected through purposive sampling. Data, gathered through a demographic questionnaire, Revised Cyberbullying Inventory II, and an emotional intelligence questionnaire, were analyzed using descriptive and multiple regression methods. The findings revealed that age, gender, and emotional intelligence collectively influence situation modification, accounting for a 2.52% impact (p-value=0.024). Emotional intelligence demonstrated effects on both situation modification and attentional deployment in individuals playing the roles of victims and perpetrators (p-value=0.018). In the case of adolescents acting as perpetrators, age, gender, and emotional intelligence collectively exhibited significant influence on attention deployment, contributing to a 9.83% impact (p-value=0.01). For adolescents who abstain from participating, the modulation response is simultaneously affected by age, gender, and emotional intelligence (p-value<0.001), resulting in a 4.44% influence. Notably, age, gender, and emotional intelligence were identified as factors influencing emotion regulation at various stages, depending on whether adolescents played the roles of victims, victims-perpetrators, or perpetrators. it is recommended that mental health nurses implement tailored emotion regulation interventions for adolescents involved in cyberbullying.

A theoretical perspective on the role of sleep in borderline personality disorder: From causative factor to treatment target.

Sleep plays a crucial role in emotion regulation. Disturbed sleep is therefore increasingly seen as a potential causal factor for the development and maintenance of affective psychiatric disorders. This may hold especially for borderline personality disorder (BPD), a core emotion dysregulation disorder. Although BPD is strongly associated with sleep disturbances such as insomnia, nightmares and circadian dysrhythmia, research into the role of sleep in BPD remains sparse. In this narrative review, we outline a putative vicious cycle of reciprocal exacerbation of disturbed sleep and emotion dysregulation in BPD, that sheds light on BPD pathophysiology and opens up new avenues for sleep-based treatments. We discuss emotional dysregulation as the base of BPD as well as the observed sleep disturbances in BPD. Based on existing theories of sleep's role in emotion regulation and memory, we then propose several behavioral and neurobiological pathways by which inherent sleep disturbances in BPD may hamper adaptive overnight emotional processing. This likely results in sustained emotional states and associated sleep-disruptive behavior, which in turn negatively impact sleep. We end by proposing a sleep-based research agenda for BPD to further detail the causative role of disturbed sleep in BPD and test the effectiveness of novel sleep-based treatment strategies.

Predictors of functionality appreciation: Prospective findings.

Research indicates that functionality appreciation, a core facet of positive body image, may protect against eating disorder symptoms and body image disturbances. However, there is still limited knowledge about what factors determine functionality appreciation over time, as longitudinal research designed to identify such predictors is absent. In light of theoretical and empirical research linking intuitive eating, symptoms of disordered eating (i.e., overvaluation, body dissatisfaction, binge eating, driven exercise, eating restraint and concern) and emotion regulation with functionality appreciation, we tested whether these factors predicted variance in functionality appreciation at 8-month follow-up. A sample of 1260 adult women (M age = 32.3 years, SD = 8.5) completed study measures at baseline and 8-month follow-up. Univariable linear regressions revealed that higher baseline intuitive eating and self-compassion predicted increased functionality appreciation at follow-up, whereas higher baseline scores on body dissatisfaction, overvaluation, eating concern, and emotion regulation difficulties predicted decreased functionality appreciation. However, in the multivariable analyses, only intuitive eating, self-compassion and body dissatisfaction emerged as significant predictors of functionality appreciation in the expected directions. Findings highlight a range of viable levers for early-intervention programs aimed at strengthening key facets of positive body image that may prevent disordered eating and body image concerns.

The relationship between demographics, behavioral and experiential engagement factors, and the use of artistic creative activities to regulate emotions.

There has been increasing interest in the role of artistic creative activities in supporting emotion regulation. However, there is little research about how demographic factors (such as age, gender, ethnicity, personality, and socioeconomic status) or factors relating to creative engagement (including engagement behaviors and subjective experience of engagement) influence our ability to use artistic creative activities to regulate our emotions. We analyzed data from 40,949 adults and used a structural equation modeling approach to model the relationships among demographic factors, factors relating to engagement, and our use of emotion regulation strategies (ERSs) while engaging in artistic creative activities. We found that women make more use of creative activities to regulate their emotions than do men, as do those of lower socioeconomic status. Training in doing an artistic activity, regular engagement, and enjoyment while engaging are all associated with a greater ability to use artistic activities to regulate our emotions. We also identified relationships between demographic and engagement factors and specific types of ERSs, such as avoidance strategies (e.g., distraction, suppression, or detachment from negative or stressful emotions), approach strategies (e.g., acceptance, reappraisal and problem solving), and self-development strategies (e.g., enhanced self-identity, improved self-esteem, and increased agency). Artistic creative activities are increasingly being recognized as effective ways of regulating emotional responses. Overall, this study provides insight into the interrelationship between individual attributes, modifiable patterns of engagement and emotion regulation when engaging in artistic activities

Genetic contributions to the stability and satisfaction in Sexual Relationships.

The stability and satisfaction of sexual relationships are critical determinants of individual well-being and societal cohesion. While much is known about the psychological and social factors influencing these outcomes, the genetic underpinnings remain an emerging field of inquiry. This literature review synthesizes findings from 42 peer-reviewed studies published between 2003 and 2023, exploring the genetic contributions to relationship stability and satisfaction. Key findings indicate that neuroticism, with an estimated heritability of ∼40%, is a strong predictor of relationship instability, while agreeableness and extraversion are associated with greater relationship satisfaction. The review examines the genetic foundations of personality traits, attachment styles, emotional regulation, hormonal influences, sexual compatibility, communication styles, and mental health predispositions. Additionally, it highlights the interplay between genetic and environmental factors, presenting case studies and empirical evidence that elucidate the complex interactions at play. Ethical considerations and future research directions are discussed to provide a comprehensive understanding of how genetics can shape successful sexual relationships. By bridging the gap between genetic research and relationship science, this review offers data-driven insights to guide future investigations in this interdisciplinary domain.
