La Dependencia Emocional en Hombres Maltratadores de su Pareja en Tratamiento Comunitario: un Estudio Piloto

Prior research has identified the important role of emotional dependency in the dynamics of chronic intimate partner violence. The main objectives of this paper are to analyze the emotional and other related psychological variables (anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and anger) in male batterers and male non-batterers when they are involved in lasting relationships. The sample consisted of 100 people. A group of 50 male batterers in community treatment was compared to a group of 50 male non-batterers on measures of emotional dependency. Male batterers scored much higher than male non-batterers on emotional dependency. Furthermore, emotional dependency in male batterers was positively associated with depression, but not with anxiety, self-esteem, and anger. These findings support that emotional dependency in men is an important factor in the motivational dynamics of intimate partner violence.

The Survey on Students’ Emotional State in Oral English Learning of Junior Middle School—Taking No.11 Junior Middle School of Yichang City as an Example

Under the background of the new curriculum reform, the inspection of listening and speaking ability has become an important part of the high school entrance examination, with the score accounting for about one third. The training and cultivation of oral English ability is an increasingly important task in English learning and teaching in junior middle school. For most junior middle school students who lack oral English learning skills and experience, the part of listening and speaking is the weak link in their language learning. Therefore, junior middle school students are prone to have negative emotions towards oral English, which is not conducive to English language learning. On the basis of the affective filter hypothesis, this paper analyzes the emotional variables of students, investigates the emotional attitudes of 80 students, from two classes of Grade eight, towards oral English learning, in No.11 middle school in Wujia District, Yichang, Hubei Province, in the form of questionnaire, and explores the influencing factors of anxiety about oral English learning and coping strategies to increase students’ confidence and motivation, and relive anxiety, thus improving their oral English.

The Effect of Instagram Content Quality on Fomsumerism Behavior with Emotional Response as a Mediating Variable

Social media growth has changed consumer behaviour from offline consumption to online consumption. Social media provide opportunities for information sharing, and can routinely find out what others are doing and talking about. Instagram is a social media platform with visual elements and features that can provide a more comfortable space for social interaction and a stronger sense of community or connection between fellow users. The rapid growth of social media plays a vital role in creating feelings of fear of being left behind or fear of missing out (FoMO). FoMO behaviour can impact consumption and give rise to a new concept, "Fomsumerism". This study aimed to determine the effect of Instagram content quality on fomsumerism behaviour mediated by emotional response variables. This type of quantitative research uses non-probability sampling methods and purposive sampling techniques on 150 respondents. An online survey collected data and analyzed using SEM-PLS through the SmartPLS application version 3.9.9. The study results show that the quality of Instagram content positively and significantly affects fomsumerism behaviour. Emotional response as a mediating variable plays a partial mediation role so that the Instagram content quality variable can affect the fomsumerism variable directly or indirectly.

PENGARUH EMOTIONAL BRANDING TERHADAP LOYALITAS PELANGGAN PRODUK HERBAL RAHSA NUSANTARA

The growth of herbal products in Indonesia is increasing every year causing the competition between herbal product companies to be increasingly tight. One of the herbal product companies in Indonesia is Rahsa Nusantara, but the growth in the category of loyal customers is not so significant. The research was conducted at the Rahsa Nusantara company in the range of January to August 2022. This study aims to determine the effect of emotional branding on Rahsa Nusantara's customer loyalty by using a simple linear regression method. The population in this study are Rahsa Nusantara customers who have made a minimum of one transaction. Collecting data using a questionnaire with a Likert scale. The results of the research findings that emotional branding can affect customer loyalty positively significantly with the highest emotional branding aspect in the vision aspect is known by correlation test. The results of the regression test resulted in a regression coefficient with a value of 0.462, indicating that each addition of one unit to the emotional branding variable will increase the value of customer loyalty by 0.462. The coefficient of determination found at 32% means that customer loyalty is only influenced by 32% by emotional branding. Thus, future research needs to examine other than emotional branding variables.

Relationship between Emotion Regulation and Grit in High School Athlete Students

Emotional Exhaustion Variables in Trainee Teachers during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

emotional exhaustion among trainee teachers is a relevant topic since it could have repercussions regarding the lives of their future pupils. Our objective was to determine the degree of trainee teachers' emotional exhaustion and associated variables during the COVID-19 pandemic. the design was cross-sectional and descriptive. Questionnaires with sociodemographic variables, perceptions of mental health, and the Emotional Exhaustion Scale (ECE) (α = 0.890; ω = 0.893) validated for the Chilean context were answered by 204 trainee teachers. The results were analyzed using SPSS software version 25 and the Emotional Exhaustion Interpretation Table (EES-Int). the results show that 92.2% of the trainee teachers presented a worsening in their mental health, stress (66.2%), irritability (38.2%), anxiety (37.7%), and depressive symptoms (32.8%). Online classes (73.04%) and the pandemic (67.6%) were the main influencing factors. Education students who perceived their mental health had worsened became 6.63 times more likely to develop emotional exhaustion [AOR = 6.63; 95% CI: 1.78, 24.69]. In addition, education students with a high perception of academic stress were 7.45 more likely to develop emotional exhaustion [AOR = 7.45; 95% CI: 1.98, 28.09]. we can conclude that trainee teachers have high levels of emotional exhaustion and their perception of their mental health and the academic stress they are being subjected to during the COVID-19 pandemic may lead them to present symptoms of frequent or permanent problems with concentration, attention, recall of information, dissatisfaction with their performance, and frequent learning difficulties. From the affective dimension, they present frequent or permanent anxiety, restlessness, irritability, indifference, low mood, and psychomatization. From the socio-interactional dimension, they present frequent or permanent social withdrawal, interpersonal problems, problems at work or school, and family and relationship problems. Increasing the sample to delve into emotional exhaustion by subject area is necessary. For future studies, research should be conducted on the causes of emotional exhaustion by subject area and the coping strategies of trainee teachers to understand differences and provide input on emotional support in practice.

Drawing techniques as tools for the evaluation of scholastic integration and emotional components in primary and secondary school: A cross-sectional study.

In the last decades, many studies have emphasized emotion's role in psycho-educational processes during childhood, such as scholastic integration. Emotional variables in childhood can be assessed through projective graphic techniques, as they allow children to use kinetic components of the draws to communicate emotions. 1.757 couple of draws were collected, from primary school children (N = 1.270; F = 643 [50.6%]; Age = 8.6; SD = 1.31) and secondary school children (N = 487; F = 220 [45.2%]; Age = 11.72; SD = 0.70) and from eight schools in Sicily and over 60 different classrooms. The Drawn Stories Technique and the Classroom Draw were used to assess children's current emotional state and scholastic integration. Pearson's correlation showed significant relationships between the Drawn Stories Technique and both sex and age. In contrast, Classroom Drawing total score showed a significant relationship with the female sex but no significant relationship with age. Linear regression analysis, including sex and age as independent variables, showed that sex is a significant predictor of Negative Outcomes of the Drawn Stories Technique, while no effect of age was detected. These findings showed that adequate attention is needed to the learners' emotional-affective world that influences their relationships and their vision within the class group. Although the drawing techniques alone seem to be not as such sufficient to explain children's individual differences in the classroom on the whole, they could be helpful for the teacher to facilitate dialogues with children, modulate didactical materials, and detect and prevent some problems in group class functioning.

Cognitive and Emotional Responses to Russian State-Sponsored Media Narratives in International Audiences

Abstract: Russia utilizes state-sponsored news media outlets, such as RT or Sputnik, to project antagonistic strategic narratives into targeted societies and perturb international audiences. While psychological responses to this conduct are frequently assumed, there is a lack of causal evidence demonstrating this. Using a transdisciplinary perspective, we conducted four survey experiments that tested two path models predicting possible cognitive and emotional responses to two narrative strategies that Russian state-sponsored media employ: destruction, which portrays a state as weak and chaotic, and suppression, which portrays a state as indecent and morally deviant. The experiments had between-participant designs, where participants read either an article demonstrating a strategy or a control text, and then indicated their responses to several trust and emotional variables. Participants were either Swedish or Dutch citizens, to build on previous analyses of Russian narration about Sweden and The Netherlands. Path analyses revealed significant differences between the conditions on several response variables. However, we found no evidence that these effects were mediated by generalized realistic or symbolic threat perceptions. We contribute preliminary insights into potential causal links between Russian antagonistic narrative strategies and specific psychological responses. This study, and its overarching research agenda, should have implications for practitioners seeking to counter Russian information influence.

A Detailed Correlation of Oral-Health-Related Quality of Life of Patients Undergoing Fixed Orthodontic Therapy.

Malocclusion is a dental condition that can affect both children's and adolescents' oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and the seriousness of the condition is indicated by the patient's requirement for orthodontic therapy. The patient or his or her caretaker may personally report the necessity for orthodontic therapy, or the doctor or orthodontist may quantify it objectively. However, discrepancies in the requirement for either objective orthodontic therapyor subjective orthodontic therapy have been noted. The OHRQoL measurements should be used in conjunction with the indicator of orthodontic therapyrequirement to represent the patient's anticipated treatment requirement. Some systematic reviews have revealed evidence that malocclusion has a detrimental effect on OHRQoL. In addition to the effects of malocclusion, the impact of orthodontic therapy on OHRQoL has also been documented. There is a dearth of related follow-up studies, particularly those documenting OHRQoL improvements in adolescents both before the beginning of treatmentand termination of orthodontics treatment. Additionally, it has been hypothesized that self-esteem affects OHRQoL, albeit there is insufficient data to support either its specific function or its connection to perceptions of oral health. As a result, the purpose of this literature review is to determine whether patients receiving fixed orthodontic therapy report any changes in their reported OHRQoL. There was an extensive review of available original research, case reports, systematic reviews, literature reviews, etc., available in reliable sources of information like PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, etc. The review found that the process of receiving orthodontic therapymight be unpleasant, affecting OHRQoL. The discomfort caused by orthodontic equipment, which are foreign things put into a delicate portion of the body, is both psychological and physical. Such discomfort may have a detrimental effect on the patient's willingness to receive therapy, their participation, and the treatment's effectiveness. The main sources of discomfort that patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment report are the appliance's design, amount of force used in the early stages of their therapy, prior painful memories, emotional variables, cognitive variables, and environmental factors such as age, sex, and culture. As a result, orthodontic treatment may have negative effects on a person's QoL that, in most situations, are temporary.

Self-management After Bariatric Surgery: a Comparison Between Support Group Participants and Patients Receiving Individual Dietary Follow-Up.

This study aimed to compare self-management after bariatric surgery between support group participants (the study group) and patients receiving only individual follow-up by a dietitian (the comparison group), and to examine the differences between the two groups regarding the associations of cognitive and emotional factors with self-management. This cross-sectional comparative study was conducted among bariatric patients who either participated in bariatric support groups during the years 2018-2020 or received only individual follow-up with a dietitian since their surgery. The structured questionnaire included a self-management questionnaire, cognitive variables (eating self-efficacy, eating awareness as independent variables, weight control motivation) and emotional variables (positive and negative affect, emotional eating), and background control variables. The level of self-management was better in the study group than in the comparison group. The hierarchical regression model showed that in the study group, the control variables contributed negligibly to self-management (step 1), while all independent variables contributed the most (27%) to the explained variance (31%) in self-management (step 2). In the comparison group, the contribution of the control variables was 11.5% of the explained variance, with only lower duration of time since surgery being related to higher self-management (step 1). The independent variables contributed significantly - an additional 14.5% to the explained variance (step 2). Emotional eating was the sole variable related to self-management. The findings emphasize the importance of encouraging patients after bariatric surgery to participate in support groups, as the skills acquired in these groups strengthen the capacity to manage self-care.

Factors associated with decision time to seek care in the face of ischemic stroke.

To verify the association between sociodemographic, clinical, environmental, cognitive, and emotional factors and the decision time of people with ischemic stroke to seek a health service after the onset of symptoms or wake up stroke. Cross-sectional study carried out from March to October 2019, with 304 patients, in a public hospital, a reference in neurology. Data obtained through interview and from medical records. Decision time was analyzed as a geometric mean. In the bivariate and multivariate analyses, linear regression was used and the Akaike Information Criterion was used to select the best model. Statistical significance of 5% was adopted. The geometric mean of decision time was 0.30h (95% CI 0.23-0.39). The final model explained this time in 41%, showing an increase of 0.5 min for people with arterial hypertension; 10.8 min for those who waited for symptoms to improve; 1.4 min for those who were alone at the onset of symptoms; 3.9 min for those at home; 3.2 min for the ones at work; and 2.1 for those on the street/public space. The mean decision time for seeking a health service was high and influenced by clinical, environmental, cognitive, and emotional variables. The results guide nurses regarding health education.

Because I'm happy - positive affect and its predictive value for future disease activity in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases: a retrospective cohort study.

While the detrimental impact of negative emotions on the clinical course of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and quality of life has been extensively investigated, evidence for a potential impact of positive emotions is scarce. We aim to analyse contributing factors of positive affect and their predictive value for disease course in IBD patients. In this retrospective cohort study, epidemiological, psychosocial and IBD disease characteristics of Swiss IBD cohort study patients were analysed longitudinally. Epidemiological, psychosocial and disease characteristics were extracted from the database of the Swiss IBD cohort study. Participants' positive emotions were assessed cross-sectionally with the seven-item Marburg questionnaire (range 1-6) addressing positive affect in different aspects of daily life. Predictors of positive emotions were identified by linear regression. The quantitative longitudinal impact of positive emotions on the further disease course was analysed using a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model. Among 702 IBD patients, those reporting more positive emotions were found to have significantly less intense medical treatment, less pain and fewer depressive symptoms (p < 0.05). A higher percentage of variability in positive emotions was explained by pain (36%) and depressive symptoms (13%) than by epidemiological characteristics (0.3%), or characteristics of IBD and its treatment (2.4%). Patients with higher levels of positive emotions (score > 3.5) experienced longer flare-free survival, also after adjusting for confounders (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.39, p < 0.05). The absence of pain and depressive symptoms were the strongest drivers for high positive affect. Higher scores of positive affect were associated with longer disease-free survival in IBD patients.

The relationship between emotional regulation and anger control skills and self-esteem of correctional center adolescents

Background and Aim: Every year we face a significant increase in juvenile delinquency in many countries and Iran, which has negative psychological consequences for this group; Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the relationship between emotional regulation and anger control skills and self-esteem of adolescents in Tehran Correctional Center. Methods: This research was a descriptive-correlational study. The population of this study consisted of all adolescents of the Rehabilitation and Training Center of Tehran in 1607 in 2018. Of these, 113 were selected by simple random sampling. To collect data, emotional regulation, anger control and self-efficacy were used. Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis with Spss.22 software. Results: The findings showed that with an increase in the mean (SD) of emotional regulation, the anger control skill decreases (r=0.27, P&lt;0.001) and with an increase in emotional regulation, the mean of self-esteem increases (r=0.25, P&lt;0.001). The results of multiple linear regression analysis using simultaneous method showed that the multiple linear regression coefficient for emotional regulation and predictive variables are significant (p&lt;0.01, F(2,197)=11.697, R2=0.11, R=0.33). Conclusion: The study showed that with increased emotional regulation with anger control skill and self-efficacy in adolescents, the correctional center of Tehran is related. Therefore, emotional regulation in adolescents is an important psychological construct in anger control skill and self-efficacy.

The Effect of Surface Acting on Turnover Intention in Debt Collector Employees

Turnover Intention is a condition obtained by employees to switch from one company to another. One of the factors that can influence turnover intention is surface acting. This study aims to determine the effect of surface acting on turnover intention in debt collector employees. This study uses a simple quantitative regression approach. Respondents in this study were 153 debt collector employees who were obtained using the snowball sampling technique. The results showed that there was a positive and significant effect of surface acting on the turnover intention of debt collectors (b = 0.685, p = 0.00 &lt;0.05) indicating that the higher the surface acting score, the higher the turnover intention of debt collectors. Additional test results show that recent education and age have no significant effect on surface acting on turnover intention among debt collectors (P = 0.00 &gt; 0.05). This research can be a reference for finance companies to provide training regarding better emotional labor strategies. The next researcher’s suggestion is to use a qualitative approach method to describe conditions in more detail and conduct research on two emotional labor strategy variables (surface acting and deep acting) on turnover intention in debt collector employees.

Explaining the structural model of predicting sexual anxiety based on self-sexual schemas by examining the mediating role of emotional regulation in men with heart failure

Background and Aim: sexual relationship anxiety, which refers to the degree of fear of discussing one's sexual relations with another, is an issue that has not been studied in detail as much as others; Therefore, the explanation of the structural model of predicting sexual anxiety was based on self-sexual schemas by examining the mediating role of emotional regulation in men with heart failure. Methods: The current research is a descriptive and correlational quantitative research in terms of fundamental-applicative purpose and in terms of data collection and the nature of the title. The statistical population of this research was men with heart failure who referred to Martyr Dr. Lavasani Hospital in Tehran in 1402. The sampling method in this research was non-random and accessible, and 300 men were selected. In this research, the sexual relationship anxiety questionnaire of Davis (2006), the sexual schema scale of Andersen and Siranoski (1994) and the emotional regulation of Gratz et al. (2006) were used; To analyze the data, Pearson's correlation coefficient test and path analysis were used using spss-22 and amos-18 software. Results: The results showed that the strongest direct effect on sexual relationship anxiety was related to emotional regulation with an effect size of -0.50, followed by self-sexual schema with an effect size of 0.47. The result of the direct effects test showed that these effects are significant at the confidence level of at least 95% (p&lt;0.05). Conclusion: The confirmation of the mediating role of variables shows that in the pathology and treatment of male sexual deviance, paying attention to psychological aspects, especially cognitive and emotional aspects, is as important as paying attention to its physiological aspects. The mediating role of emotional and cognitive variables in the dual control model needs more attention.

Emotional factors, medical interventions and mode of birth among low-risk primiparous women in Poland.

Birth is a critical event in women's lives. Since humans have evolved to give birth in the context of social support, not having it in modern settings might lead to more complications during birth. Our aim was to model how emotional factors and medical interventions related to birth outcomes in hospital settings in Poland, where c-section rates have doubled in the last decade. We analysed data from 2363 low-risk primiparous women who went into labor with the intention of giving birth vaginally. We used a model comparison approach to examine the relationship between emotional and medical variables and birth outcome (vaginal or c-section), including sociodemographic control variables in all models. A model with emotional factors better explained the data than a control model (ΔAIC = 470.8); women with continuous personal support during labor had lower odds of a c-section compared to those attended by hospital staff only (OR = 0.12, 95% CI = 0.09 - 0.16). A model that included medical interventions also better explained the data than a control model (ΔAIC = 133.6); women given epidurals, in particular, had increased odds of a c-section over those who were not (OR = 3.55, 95% CI = 2.95 - 4.27). The best model included variables for both the level of personal support and the use of epidural (ΔAIC = 598.0). Continuous personal support during childbirth may be an evolutionarily informed strategy for reducing complications, including one of the most common obstetrical complications in modern hospital settings, the c-section.

Prediction of mental well-being based on emotional regulation, communication skills and problem solving ability in women with marital conflict

Aim: The present study was conducted with the aim of predicting mental well-being based on emotional regulation, communication skills and problem solving ability in women with marital conflict. Methods: The descriptive research method was of correlational type and the statistical population included all women with marital conflict who referred to counseling centers in Tunkabon city between May and November 2022. Using available sampling, 180 women who had marital conflict and scored higher in the marital conflict questionnaire were selected as a statistical sample. The tools used in the research were: Barati and Sanai Marital Conflict Questionnaire (1996), Ryff Mental Well-Being Scale Short Form (1985), Gross and John Emotional Regulation Scale (2003), Mathson Communication Skills Questionnaire (1983) and Ability Questionnaire Solving Heppner's problem (1988). Data analysis was done by Pearson correlation and stepwise regression. Results: The results showed that the relationship between emotional regulation variables, communication skills and problem solving ability with mental well-being is positive and significant at the level of 0.01. In order to determine the best predictor of mental well-being among the predictor variables of emotional regulation, communication skills and problem solving ability, a step-by-step regression model was used. The results showed that the variable of communication skills has been able to justify 53.9% of the variance of mental well-being, and by adding the variable of emotional order to the variable of communication skills in the second model, it has added 2% of the variance of mental well-being, and the variables of communication skills and order Emotional seeking has been able to explain about 55.3% of the variance of mental well-being variable. Conclusion: It can be concluded that mental well-being can be predicted based on emotional regulation, communication skills and problem solving ability in women with marital conflict.
