Linguistic and cultural nature of phraseological units with numerical components in the English and Kazakh languages

Relevance. The need to study the linguoculturological paradigm of numerical phraseology is a priority task of modern linguistics, since it is stable language patterns that best reflect the mentality of the people, their cultural preferences, social living conditions, attitude to customs and traditions, ways of thinking and behavior. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to study idiomatic expressions based on numerical components for linguocultural associative links. Methodology. For implementation of the purpose of the study, the following methods were used: linguoculturological in combination with comparative-comparative, lexico-semantic and analytical-synthetic. Results. In this work, a study was conducted of the national specifics of the English and Kazakh languages, based on the linguocultural nature of idioms, which include a numerical component. Since numerological nominations carry sacred meanings, a study was made of each individual lexeme, the frequency of its use, lexical-semantic content and stylistic shades. Based on the obtained lexicographic information, comparison of numerical nominations in English and Kazakh languages was carried out. The linguoculturological status of phrasemes was determined, positive and negative connotations, metaphor and figurativeness were evaluated, associative links were formed between the functional-semantic fields of English and Kazakh phraseology. The question of the equivalence of phraseological units and the formation of lacunae (semantic gaps) in the phraseological picture of the world was considered. Conclusions. The richness of idiomatic expressions, especially those with numerical components, reflects ancient beliefs about the world's workings. Despite stylistic and semantic differences, both English and Kazakh languages exhibit equivalents, variations, and gaps in phraseology, with numerical components playing a significant role. This study can be used in conducting comparative studies of other national languages, establishing linguocultures and the linguoculturological status of phraseological units and other structural elements of speech, using machine technologies to isolate numerical lexemes from contexts, transforming the speech flow and forming new semantic and stylistic patterns.

Stone point variability reveals spatial, chronological and environmental structuring of eastern African Middle Stone Age populations

ABSTRACT Stone points are one of the key features used to define the African Middle Stone Age (MSA). Regional patterns in their shape and size through time have been thought to reflect inter-group interactions and networks of populations and are used to define cultural phases within the MSA. However, eastern Africa does not have distinctive and widely applied chrono-stratigraphic point variants that divide its MSA record, which is often described as being highly variable. This paper presents a metric and geometric morphometric analysis of eastern African MSA points and evaluates potential drivers of variation in them in relation to null models of isolation by distance, time and environment. Approximately half of the shape variance in our sample can be explained by spatial, temporal and environmental differences, as well as by size, indicating a degree of demographic continuity through sustained cultural transmission. A portion of the remaining variance likely represents stylistic differences between assemblages, which are often the subject of interest in archaeological studies. The highly variable nature of the eastern African MSA may reflect the region’s refugial positioning within the continent, with point technology a flexible adaptive system that was dynamically employed across Africa during the MSA depending on varying social and ecological contexts, resulting in the appearance of both ‘generic’ and ‘specific’ tool forms at particular times and places.

Influence of preexisting structures on salt structures in the Kuqa Depression, Tarim Basin, Western China: Insights from seismic data and numerical simulations

AbstractThe preexisting structures that developed in the basement and subsalt strata play a key role in the salt structural deformation in the Kuqa Depression, Tarim Basin. The characteristics of preexisting structures and their controls on the salt structure are investigated via the latest three‐dimensional seismic data and numerical modelling. The results show that the preexisting structures that developed in the Kuqa Depression mainly consist of basement faults, palaeouplifts, subsalt slopes and early passive salt diapirs. Basement faults are mainly distributed in the Kelasu and Qiulitag structural belts and control the position of development and deformation style of the Miocene compressive salt structure. The differences in styles and reactivation degrees of basement faults lead to great diversity in the salt structure. The palaeouplifts mainly include the Wensu, western Qiulitag, Xinhe and Yaha‐Luntai palaeouplifts. The original sedimentary range and later deformation space of the salt layer are limited by the palaeouplift, resulting in strong salt thrusting in the Awate sag in the western part of the Kuqa Depression. The heterogeneous spatial distribution of the palaeouplift promoted the development of regional strike‐slip transform belts. Subsalt slopes are located mainly on the northern edge of the western Qiulitag low uplift and block the southward flow of the salt, causing the salt to form salt domes; the size of these domes is closely related to the subsalt slope. Early passive salt diapirs mainly developed in the Quele and Bozidun areas of the western Kuqa Depression, and they were preferentially active during the compression period, inducing the formation of a piercement salt nappe. Numerical modelling revealed that the preexisting structure strongly controlled the stress–strain distribution during the deformation of the salt structure. The spatial distribution heterogeneity of the basement structure is an important factor in the structural zonation along the north–south strike and segmentation along the west–east strike in the Kuqa Depression, as well as an important inducer of the piercement salt structure.

Activity versus Descriptivity: A Stylometric Analysis of Two English Translations of Hongloumeng

This study examined the translation style of David Hawkes and the Yangs (Yang Xianyi and Gladys Yang) in their English translations of Hongloumeng, a Chinese Great Classic, by considering the hybrid register nature of fiction. The activity index, a measure from quanti-tative linguistics that calculates the ratio of verb occurrences to the sum of verb and adjec-tive occurrences, was used to analyze the active-descriptive equilibrium patterns across the two Hongloumeng translations and the two sub-registers of fiction. Our analysis is based on a corpus that separates fictional narration and dialogues from the first 80 chapters of the two Hongloumeng translations. The study found that, overall, dialogues tend to be more active than narration and Hawkes’ translation was characterized by a greater level of activity com-pared to the Yangs’ version. Subsequent analysis revealed that Hawkes' translation dis-played a higher level of activity in fictional dialogues while demonstrating a more descrip-tive approach in fictional narration. The results suggest that Hawkes’ translation adheres more closely to the typical stylistic conventions of fiction writing in English. The stylistic differences between the two translations of Hongloumeng are believed to be a result of a combination of factors, including the translators’ language and cultural backgrounds and their choice of translation strategies and approaches, which may have contributed to the var-iations in the final translated products.

Медийно-публицистический контекст очерка А.А. Блока «Последние дни императорской власти»

The article examines the media background on which A. Blok’s essay “The Last Days of Imperial Power” was created, which was the result of his work as part of the Extraordinary Commission of Inquiry. Structural and meaningful similarity with the book by S.Ya. Streich “The Last Days of Nicholas II. Official Documents. Eyewitness accounts”, written in 1917, remained out of sight of the researchers. An analysis of the concepts of chronotope, beginning, architectonics is given. The documents presented in both essays are considered. The style differences between Streich and Blok’s essays are described. Streich is a publicist. Blok’s essay has the perspective of an art-documentary genre that will spread widely in the 20th century. Excerpts from Blok’s diary are given, in which what he saw while working in the Peter and Paul Fortress develops into sketches, and artistic images are outlined. A source is being established that A. Blok used when publishing a letter from Grand Prince Alexander Mikhailovich is being established. The origins of the original title of Block’s essay and the reason for its change are considered. A hypothesis has been proposed about the origin of phraseologism ‘old mode’. It is concluded that Blok’s essay was formed in an active information environment saturated with journalism, genuine documents and testimonies of contemporaries. Many works of this time echo meaningfully. There was a mutual influence — both materials and methods of their submission were used. But regardless of the direct influence of specific works on each other, the authors lived in a significant turning point, generating typological forms of reflection of what is happening.

Literary Criticism Based on the Theory of Information Dissemination-The Spiritual Recasting of Cast Swords in Moonlight Chopping

Abstract By reading and analyzing Moonlight Chopping and Cast Swords meticulously, this study reveals the polysemous textual world constituted by these two works, covering the mockery of dystopian realities, the inheritance of the spirit of vengeance, as well as the profound reverence for the essence of life. Web crawler technology is employed to obtain the textual content of Moonlight Chopping and Cast Swords, and the data is pre-processed. A corpus is constructed using a lexical algorithm. The in-depth extraction of thematic linguistic features of the two works is realized by combining Gibbs sampling and EM algorithm to accurately estimate the parameters of the LDA topic model. It is found that Moonlight Chopping and Cast Swords show significant correlation on the story and ideological level, but apparent differences in story focus, expression form and aesthetic style. Specifically, the average sentence length of Moonlight Chopping is only 1.18 units longer than Cast Swords. At the same time, its STTR value is only about 4.3% higher than Cast Swords, indicating that Moonlight Chopping has successfully achieved subtle thematic differences while maintaining the vengeful narrative style of Cast Swords, demonstrating a profound transformation of traditional culture and historical continuity.

Examining the Impact of Gender Differences on Language Expression: A Sociolinguistic Perspective

This study explores the impact of gender differences on language expression from a sociolinguistic perspective. Focusing on undergraduate and master’s degree students in China aged between 19 and 25, the research employs a questionnaire and sample analysis methodology to investigate three aspects: frequency of emotional expression, communication style, and topic choice. Results indicate no significant gender differences in frequency and style of verbal expression, with minor differences observed only in topic preferences related to political and economic subjects. These findings suggest that gender does not have a substantial influence on language expression, highlighting a potential cognitive bias in the perception of gender roles in language usage.

A Comparison of Psychological Distress and Coping Styles among Physicians and Nurses in a COVID-19 Referral Hospital in Manila: A Cross-sectional Study.

This study aimed to compare the levels of depression, anxiety, and stress, and the coping styles among physicians and nurses in a COVID-19 referral hospital in Manila from June to July 2020. A cross-sectional study among medical residents and nurses selected via convenience sampling was employed. Data were obtained through COVID Stressors and Stress Reduction Questionnaire, Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21, and Filipino Coping Strategies Scale. Descriptive and inferential analysis of data was done. Five hundred seventy-one (571) healthcare workers (total population: 1,650 nurses and physicians) participated in the study, representing 81.6% of the computed sample size of 700 respondents. Among the participants, 60.6 %, 69.0%, 48.9% reported symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, respectively. Nineteen percent (19%) of nurses reported severe to extremely severe depression, and 42.0% reported severe to extremely severe anxiety. In contrast, 30.8% of residents reported severe to extremely severe depression, and 28.4% conveyed severe to extremely severe anxiety. There was no association observed between perceived levels of stress between the two healthcare professions.There were more mildly to extremely severe anxious healthcare workers in the COVID areas (74.6%) compared to the non-COVID areas (61.2%). Differences in coping styles were observed among the participants' clinico-demographic characteristics. Top healthcare worker stressors include being negligent and endangering co-workers (88.6%), frequent modification of infection control procedures (87.0%), and discomfort from protective equipment (81.4%). Top stress-reducing factors include provision of food and vitamins (86.7%), sufficient rest (84.2%), and support from higher-ranking colleagues (73.7%). This study has shown that more than half of the healthcare workers reported mild to extreme levels of depression and anxiety, while a little less than half reported mild to extreme levels of stress. The development and implementation of hospital interventions and programs based on the sources of distress and stress-reducing factors is recommended to mitigate the impact of sustained psychological distress on mental health and physical wellbeing of hospital healthcare workers.

КОГНІТИВНИЙ СТИЛЬ ТЛУМАЧА ЯК ЧИННИК ВИБОРУ ПЕРЕКЛАДАЦЬКОЇ СТРАТЕГІЇ У ЦІЛЬОВОМУ ТЕКСТІ (НА ПРИКЛАДІ АНГЛО-УКРАЇНСЬКИХ ПЕРЕКЛАДІВ П'ЄСИ Б. ШОУ "ПІГМАЛІОН")

The article focuses on translator’s cognitive style as an important factor that determines translation strategies and techniques while rendering a source text into a target language. In particular, the study analyses and compares the cognitive styles of Oleksandr Mokrovolskyi and Mykola Pavlov, Ukrainian translators of the play ‘Pygmalion’ by George Bernard Shaw. The relevance of the paper is stipulated by the need to provide theoretical justification for the differences in cognitive styles of the interpreters. The theoretical justification can help to explain interpreters’ successful or unsuccessful translation decisions. The results of the investigation can be used while rendering English texts into Ukrainian. The investigation is carried out using the method of contrastive analysis of the source and target texts as a main one. The comparison between O. Mokrovolskyi’s and M. Pavlov’s cognitive styles are drawn on the basis of the analysis of the translation strategies and techniques used by them while rendering cockney, a social dialect used by people from the East End of London; and interpreting associations of source precedent names and verbal poetic images in the target text. The article proves that translator’s cognitive style manifests itself in translation strategy of keeping or changing the stylistic tone of the original text. M. Pavlov uses stylistically marked vocabulary to render cockney and stylistically neutral lines more often than O. Mokrovolskyi does. The paper notes that the translator’s creative cognitive activity can also manifest itself in using the translation technique of so-called ‘explicative asymmetry’. The mentioned technique involves using target lexical units that are not considered to be equivalents for source words in order to reveal the author’s ideas better. It should be mentioned that the ‘explicative asymmetry’ technique usually causes conceptual shift. The investigation proves that while rendering English precedent names into Ukrainian M. Pavlov tends to use transformations that cause conceptual shift whereas O. Mokrovolskyi does not use the technique of explicative asymmetry very often. The author expresses the opinion that the technique of ‘explicative asymmetry’ helps to interpret associations of source precedent names in the target text. While rendering English idioms into Ukrainian both the translators use the ‘explicative asymmetry’ technique that causes conceptual shift to reveal the author’s ideas better.

Moving Beyond the Plateau with Computer-Assisted Pronunciation Mediation

This paper examines the plateau effect and the role of Computer-Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) in enabling learners to move beyond the plateau. Specifically, the samples and empirical evidence for this study is provided by StudyIntonation, a top-down CAPT environment supporting visual display of phrasal intonation in the form of pitch graphs presented for both the model pitch of native speakers and attempts of learners. Utterances of model speakers are grouped by situational context, prosodic forms and mode of feedback. The system largely relies upon concepts of sociocultural theory, such as mediation through the zone of proximal development. With the help of an experimental group of high school students, we use mathematical models to pinpoint the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), allowing for delivery of tailored task classification based on syntax and discourse tags. Longitudinal pronunciation assessment supported by dynamic time warping and cross-recurrence quantification analysis is used to locate the ZPD, and provide personalized practice. Preliminary experiments for the current study demonstrate that this approach can help learners in overcoming the plateau effect experienced during the learning process. The reported new findings create further grounds for improving and targeting the CAPT system feedback to learners with respect to their individual achievements and differences in learning styles.

Творче конструювання особистості в автобіографічній повісті (на матеріалі творів «Хризантеми» Уляни Кравченко та «Десь на дні мого серця» Василя Лопати)

The article analyzes the tools of creative personality construction in two autobiographical novels, Chrysanthemums by by Ulyana Kravchenko and Somewhere at the Bottom of My Heart by Vasyl Lopata, and the thematic and narrative features of these works, as well as the importance of including documentary elements in the plot, are clarified. It is determined that the tools that helped to depict the formation of the author's creative personality in an autobiographical story were a distanced view of oneself, both in appearance and in the inner world, the use of humor, and emphasis on important stages. There is a difference in the narrative style – Ulyana Kravchenko focuses on the goal of developing intellectually since childhood, evaluates herself according to her readiness to serve the people, to form herself according to artistic laws, so the plot is often interrupted by lyrical inserts and reflections, although she simultaneously supplements it with historical and portrait essays. He compensates for his silence and loneliness in childhood by realizing it in music and his first attempts at writing, and explains the lack of words already when writing his memoirs by his own emotionality, creating an aura of mystery and understatement. V. Lopata introduces the main narrator into the story for a different purpose: to provide textual explanations, comment on the narrator-child's story, and express a short future continuation of the described events, the author much less often focuses on the process of recollection itself, having clearly defined for himself its purpose: to find out the origins of his own creative formation, which has already taken place (Ulyana Kravchenko writes about it as a process). The fragment of the diary, introduced into the textual space of the work, demonstrates the naivety and vulnerability of the protagonist in the conditions of orphanhood and war, and shows the boy's tendency to perceive even everyday events deeply in order to later convey them in his work. Through the adult narrator, the childhood traumas are closed and «liberation» from the described situations of childhood powerlessness is projected into the future.

Within-talker and within-session stability of acoustic characteristics of conversational and clear speaking stylesa).

In speech production research, talkers often perform a speech task several times per recording session with different speaking styles or in different environments. For example, Lombard speech studies typically have talkers speak in several different noise conditions. However, it is unknown to what degree simple repetition of a speech task affects speech acoustic characteristics or whether repetition effects might offset or exaggerate effects of speaking style or environment. The present study assessed speech acoustic changes over four within-session repetitions of a speech production taskset performed with two speaking styles recorded in separate sessions: conversational and clear speech. In each style, ten talkers performed a set of three speech tasks four times. Speaking rate, median fundamental frequency, fundamental frequency range, and mid-frequency spectral energy for read sentences were measured and compared across test blocks both within-session and between the two styles. Results indicate that statistically significant changes can occur from one repetition of a speech task to the next, even with a brief practice set and especially in the conversational style. While these changes were smaller than speaking style differences, these findings support using a complete speech set for training while talkers acclimate to the task and to the laboratory environment.

Revolution in Image Data Collection: CycleGAN as a Dataset Generator

Computer vision, deep learning, and pattern recognition are just a few fields where image data collection has become crucial. The Cycle Generative Adversarial Network has become one of the most effective instruments in the recent revolution in image data collection. This research aims to comprehend the impact of CycleGAN on the collection of image datasets. CycleGAN, a variant of the Generative Adversarial Network model, has enabled the unprecedented generation of image datasets. CycleGAN can transform images from one domain to another without manual annotation by employing adversarial learning between the generator and discriminator. This means generating image datasets quickly and efficiently for various purposes, from object recognition to data augmentation. One of the most fascinating features of CycleGAN is its capacity to alter an image's style and characteristics. Using CycleGAN to generate unique and diverse datasets assists deep learning models in overcoming visual style differences. This is a significant development in understanding how machine learning models can comprehend visual art concepts. CycleGAN's use as a data set generator has altered the landscape of image data collection. CycleGAN has opened new doors in technological innovation and data science with its proficiency in generating diverse and unique datasets. This research will investigate in greater detail how CycleGAN revolutionized the collection of image datasets and inspired previously unconceived applications.

The influence of cognitive style differences on foreign language learning strategies

Finding out how different cognitive styles affect the strategies chosen for learning a foreign language was the driving force behind this research. The rapid pace of globalization has made fluency in more than one language an essential component of every well-rounded person’s toolbox. However, in the actual learning process, there are significant achievement differences between students, which is not only related to language talent, but also influenced by individual cognitive style. By reviewing the relevant literature, this paper gives a clear definition and classification of cognitive style, and gives an overview of foreign language learning strategies. On this basis, 150 foreign language learners from different schools were surveyed by a combination of questionnaire and interview. Students’ use of various tactics for learning a foreign language is influenced by their cognitive styles, according to the results. Metacognitive methods are more commonly used by students who are independent in their subject, whereas field-dependent students depend more on tactics that involve social and emotional support. Furthermore, the study concluded that in order to maximize the effectiveness of instruction, educators should use more individualized approaches that take into account individuals’ unique cognitive styles. In addition to offering concrete recommendations for enhancing the current state of foreign language instruction, this study offers a fresh viewpoint on the unique characteristics of language learners.

에르메스 아트 컬래버레이션 쇼윈도 디스플레이 표현 특성 연구

The purpose of this study is to explore the constituent elements and expressive characteristics of the luxury fashion brand Hermès' show window display in collaboration with artists using theoretical exploration and case analysis methods. The research primarily analyzes globally representative Hermès window display cases in major cities after 2021, revealing differences in artistic collaboration and visual representation between Eastern and Western markets. The results show that collaborations in the Eastern market tend to reflect regional cultural characteristics, while the Western market focuses more on internationalized artistic collaborations. Despite stylistic differences, both emphasize the presentation of scarcity, uniqueness, and aesthetics. Additionally, the study finds that the Eastern market places a stronger emphasis on the symbolic and interactive aspects of Hermès' artistic collaboration window displays. This research not only unveils new trends in luxury brand art marketing strategies but also provides an important perspective for understanding and predicting future market developments.

공변수 IRTree 모형을 적용한 대학전공선택검사 공학계열 문항의 성별에 따른 응답 경향성 분석

This study utilized the IRTree model to analyze specific response style in participants' item responses, irrespective of the content of the items being measured. The research instrument consisted of 30 items assessing engineering field activity preferences in the Korean College Major Interest Inventory (KCMII-2). A total of 9,069 data records were analyzed, excluding non-responses and repeated identical responses. The study explored the response process and response styles of participants in the engineering field activity preference items and investigated whether there were significant differences in response processes and response styles based on gender. The research findings indicated that among the graded response model (GRM), linear IRTree model, and nested IRTree model, the most suitable model was the nested IRTree model. The nodes within the model represented positive preference, positive extreme response, and negative extreme response for each item. Examination of the latent ability distribution for each node revealed that male students had higher latent abilities for positive preference and positive extreme response, while female students had higher latent abilities for negative extreme response. The IRTree model analysis, incorporating gender as a covariate, demonstrated that gender had a significant impact on the latent abilities at each node. In conclusion, this study suggested that applying the covariate IRTree model to various educational and psychological measurement tools can lead to more meaningful research results and their practical utilization in the future.

The Role of Live Streaming in Building Consumer Trust, Engagement, and Purchase Intention in Indonesian Social Commerce Thrift Clothes Sellers

Research limitation/Implications: Demography, number of samples, and differences in live streaming style and thrift clothes brands still need to be addressed. Keywords: Consumer Engagement, Trust, Intention to Purchase, Live Streaming, Shopping Values, Social Commerce, Thrift clothes.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF BIBLICALISMS IN UKRAINIAN AND ENGLISH

Objective. The objective of this article is to conduct a comparative analysis of biblical expressions in Ukrainian and English.. Methods. The main scientific results are obtained applying a set of general scientific and special research methods, namely: analysis and generalization of scientific literature on the problems of the functioning and translation of biblicalisms; theoretical generalization, analysis and synthesis; holistic approach to the study of linguistic phenomena; comparative, descriptive and analytical methods; and the method of continuous sampling.. Results. The authors analyze the ways in which phraseological units of biblical origin are formed, define groups of biblical units, ways of rendering biblical expressions in the process of translation and conduct a comparative analysis of biblical units in English and Ukrainian (pointing out their common features and semantic, grammatical, and stylistic differences). Functioning of biblicalisms in English and Ukrainian shows intriguing similarities and marked differences, reflecting their different cultural, historical and linguistic foundations. The Bible's profound influence on language, literature, and culture has provided a rich reservoir of idiomatic and figurative expressions that resonate with speakers of both languages. The comparative analysis of biblical phraseology between English and Ukrainian emphasizes the rich cultural and linguistic ties that exist between the two languages. These expressions play a significant role in shaping the literary and cultural heritage of each language and remain relevant in the modern context. The authors conclude that, while some biblical sayings are translated literally from English to Ukrainian and vice versa, others may undergo adaptation according to the linguistic and cultural nuances of each language and culture. Translators often strive to preserve the original meaning and cultural significance, ensuring that the expressions resonate with the target audie

Proper Names and Register in Poetry Translation. The Effects of Transplantation in Eliot’s “The Naming of Cats”

In literary translation, cultural adaptation or transplantation is a method that offers the readers of the target-text linguistical and cultural ease in their interaction with the text. Still, it could also prevent them from absorbing foreign cultural elements. (Re)translation could change the status of a text in that it could offer fresh perspectives that have never been offered before. In this study, we will analyse two Romanian (re)translations of T. S. Eliot’s poem “The Naming of Cats”, focusing on the translation of proper names and on the differences in register and style that arise from different translation choices, to argue in favour of the idea that the transplantation of cultural elements can be just as valuable for the readers as preserving the foreign elements.

Yaygın Anksiyete Bozukluğunda Aleksitiminin Başa Çıkma Tutumları İle İlişkisi

Among anxiety disorders, the incidence of alexithymic features is found in a wide range of 12.5-58%, and it is a personality trait that can also be seen in healthy individuals. Our study investigated the relationship between alexithymic features and coping attitudes in patients with generalized anxiety disorder. Forty patients diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and 39 healthy volunteers participated in the study. Participants were divided into groups using the Toronto Alexithymia Scale, and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale and Coping Attitudes Scale were applied to all participants. Nineteen patients with alexithymia and Generalized anxiety disorder, 21 patients with Generalized anxiety disorder without alexithymia, and 39 healthy volunteers participated in this study. Statistically significant differences were observed between the problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping subscale scores, but there was no difference in dysfunctional coping styles between the three groups. In the correlation analysis performed to determine the relationship between the total alexithymia and Coping attitudes subscale scores, there was a moderate negative correlation between the alexithymia scores and problem-focused (r=-0.442) and emotion-focused coping (r=-0.425) subscale scores. Alexithymia is often accompanied by generalized anxiety disorder and negatively affects coping attitudes.
