Abstract

Integrative conceptualizations like that proposed byRoemer and Orsillo provide exciting new directions forunderstanding and treating generalized anxiety disorder(GAD). However, these approaches may be furtherstrengthened by adoption of an emotion regulationperspective. Persons with GAD may have difficulty un-derstanding their emotional experience and may pos-sess few skills to modulate their emotions. They mayexperience emotions as subjectively aversive and useworry and maladaptive interpersonal behaviors as de-fensive strategies to control, avoid, or blunt emotionalexperience. An emotion regulation perspective suggestsadding treatment components to help clients becomemore comfortable with arousing emotional experience,more able to access and utilize emotional informationin adaptive problem solving, and better able to modu-late emotional experience and expression according tocontextual demands.Key words: emotion regulation, generalized anxietydisorder.

  • In the second, more important process, worries are used consciously or automatically to reduce physically experienced stress associated with intense emotions.

    “Im zweiten, wichtigeren Prozess werden Sorgen bewusst oder automatisch eingesetzt, um den mit intensiven Emotionen verbundenen, körperlich erlebten Stress zu reduzieren [Borkovec et al., 1998;Mennin et al., 2002].”

    From Wann sind Sorgen pathologisch? (2009) · cites this paper as Mennin et al., 2002

  • Emotion suppression is an alternate emotion regulation strategy used by individuals with GAD to avoid intense emotional experiences.

    “Like worry, emotion suppression, which is operationalized here as an attempt to not experience emotions, rather than an attempt not to express emotions (Gross and Levenson, 1997), is an alternate emotion regulation strategy used by individuals with GAD to avoid intense emotional experiences (Mennin et al., 2002).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
