Difficoltà nella regolazione delle emozioni e disagio personale nei giovani adulti con ansia sociale
Open accessAbstract
Introduzione. Scopo dello studio è stato valutare l’associazione tra ansia sociale e difficoltà nella regolazione emotiva in un campione di giovani adulti italiani. Metodi. Il campione, reclutato in modo accidentale, è composto da 298 giovani adulti (184 donne e 114 uomini) di età compresa tra i 18 e i 34 anni. Tutti i soggetti hanno completato la Interaction Anxiousness Scale (IAS), la Audience Anxiousness Scale (AAS), la Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) e l’Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI). Una cluster analysis con il metodo TwoStep è stata utilizzata per raggruppare i soggetti in base al loro livello di ansia sociale. Risultati. La cluster analysis ha indicato una soluzione con due raggruppamenti, dove il primo (n=163) è composto da coloro che hanno punteggi più elevati nelle scale AAS e IAS rispetto ai soggetti inclusi nel secondo raggruppamento (n=135). Un modello lineare generalizzato ha indicato che i soggetti con elevata ansia sociale (rispetto a quelli con più bassi livelli) riportano punteggi superiori sia nella dimensione disagio personale della scala IRI (p<0,01) sia nelle dimensioni relative alla mancanza di accettazione delle emozioni negative (p<0,001) e di chiarezza delle emozioni (p<0,05), entrambe della scala DERS. Conclusioni. I risultati ottenuti appaiono in linea con i modelli psicopatologici individuati nella letteratura, secondo cui la gestione non efficace delle proprie emozioni costituisce un fattore di rischio per l’insorgenza di quadri depressivi o ansiosi.

The present study found that baseline IRI-PD scores were positively correlated with severity of PTSD and anxiety sensitivity, consistent with prior findings that IRI-PD is associated with PTSD severity and social anxiety.
“The present study also found that the baseline scores of IRI-PD were positively correlated with the severity of PTSD and anxiety sensitivity, which is consistent with prior findings that IRI-PD scores were associated with severity of PTSD (Nietlisbach et al. 2010) and social anxiety (Contardi et al. 2013).”

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.
