“…The emotional response of individuals varies in different situations and re ects the emotional sensitivity to that situation. Koole in 2010 in an integrative review on the psychology of emotion regulation described that emotional sensitivity (initial response) to the situation is not only in uenced by the nature of stimuli but also by personal characteristic (personality trait) which will determine the subsequent coping response of an individual that is emotion regulation process [5,27]. In our study, we also determined the emotional responses generated in different situations.…”

Background: Trainee doctors undergo a complex process of emotional labour at the workplace. The presence of any negative emotion affects not only their professional and caring competency but also their mental health. The purpose of this study is to identify the use of different emotion regulation (ER) strategies in Sad, Disgust, Fear, Anger, and Shock situations, and to determine the frequency and the predominant pattern of emotional response in the emotion triggering situations. Methods: This cross-sectional study was done in two public and one private-sector medical college in Lahore, Pakistan, in 2019. Gross Theory of emotion and situational model of emotion regulation was used to develop a questionnaire and to interpret the findings. Based on Gross Theory, emotion regulation strategies were situation selection (SS), situation modification (SM), cognitive change (CC), attention deployment (AD), and response modulation (RM). The results were analysed using chi-square and repeated-measures ANOVA on SPSS 25.Results: Out of the 377 trainees, 308 participated in this study. Most of them were from the Obstetrics & Gynaecology (43.2%) department and in the Year-1 of training (37.7%). The most frequent emotion triggering situation was prolonged working hours (95%). The major emotional response was quietness (50%) and this reaction was observed in situations of the rude behaviour of patients and their attendants toward staff (60%). The trainees used greater ER strategies in sad situations (Mean 3.49 ± 1.79; F=1823, p <0.01). Trainees managed sad emotions by keeping themselves involved in other activities (49%) and with an outward response (50%). In anger; they blamed others (40.3%) and ruminated (32.8%). In fear; suppression of emotions (28.6%) and focus on the task (23.1%) were the most common ER strategies. When disgusted, avoidance (29.2%); and suppression of emotions (28.9%) were used. In shock, acceptance (12.7%) and suppression of emotion (8.4%) were preferred ER strategies. Conclusion: Trainees struggle to manage emotions and use maladaptive strategies that are avoiding situations, focusing on other activities, blaming others, rumination, thought suppression, and outward behaviours. Developing emotional skill programs to manage negative emotions can improve mental health, job satisfaction, and patient care.

“…The results are consistent with ndings on junior doctors in Australia that work-related stress is identi ed as a major reason for psychological distress. Hence identi cation of emotional sensitivity of the individuals and then management of psychologically distressed interns are required at the organizational level [29], [27].…”

“…Furthermore, research from the field of psychology shows that emotional sensitivity (i.e. the tendency to emotionally respond to environmental stimuli) is a biologically-based temperament and, therefore, is not easy to alter (Wall et al , 2018). Considering the high level of (financial) investment required to send employees on expatriate assignments, considering emotionality as a selection measure can help MNCs minimize the risk of needing to terminate international assignments early.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the extent to which a destination's security level affects the relationship between personality traits and individuals' expatriation willingness.Design/methodology/approachThe authors apply an experimental vignette methodology using a 2 × 1 between subjects-design with two destinations characterized by different security levels (dangerous vs. safe) among 278 participants (students and employees). Partial least squares multigroup analysis (PLS-MGA) was employed to test the hypotheses.FindingsThe findings indicate that different personality variables appear to impact individuals' expatriation willingness depending on the security level of a destination: emotionality and conscientiousness predicted expatriation willingness to dangerous environments, whereas openness to experience predicted expatriation willingness to safe environments. The personality traits of honesty–humility, extraversion and agreeableness were not found to influence expatriation willingness in either scenario.Practical implicationsThe study discusses a set of practical recommendations for the selection and the management of eligible individuals who are willing to expatriate to dangerous locations.Originality/valueThe study is among the first to examine the influence of personality on expatriation willingness in safe and dangerous environments at the same time. It advances prior research by providing a more nuanced understanding of the context-specific effects of personality on expatriation willingness.

“…An a priori sample size calculation revealed that a sample size of 150 dyads was needed for a model with medium effect sizes, five latent variables, 21 observed variables, α of .05, and desired power of .80. Further, the recommended minimum sample sizes from published data simulations for latent constructs with a minimum of 3-4 indicators, expected loadings of .65 or higher, no missing values, and regression paths of medium effect size ranged from 150 to 200 (Wolf et al, 2013). Thus, a sample size of 200 dyads was determined to provide adequate statistical power for our model.…”

Despite evidence for the intergenerational transmission of borderline personality disorder (BPD) pathology from mothers to offspring, the factors underlying the relation between mother and child BPD symptoms remain unclear and little is known about the pathways through which maternal BPD symptoms may relate to BPD symptoms in their offspring. One set of factors that warrants consideration in this regard is mother and child emotion regulation (ER) difficulties. In particular, theory and research suggest an indirect relation between mother and child BPD symptoms through maternal ER difficulties (and related maladaptive emotion socialization strategies) and, subsequently, child ER difficulties. Thus, this study used structural equation modeling to examine a model wherein maternal BPD symptoms relate to offspring BPD symptoms in adolescence through maternal ER difficulties (and maladaptive maternal emotion socialization strategies) and, subsequently, adolescent ER difficulties. A nationwide community sample of 200 mother–adolescent dyads completed an online study. Results provided support for the proposed model, revealing both a direct relation between maternal and adolescent BPD symptoms and two indirect relations through (a) maternal and adolescent ER difficulties and (b) maternal ER difficulties, maternal maladaptive emotion socialization strategies, and adolescent ER difficulties. Results highlight the relevance of both mother and adolescent ER difficulties in the relation between mother and offspring BPD pathology, as well as the potential clinical utility of targeting mother and child ER in interventions aimed at preventing the intergenerational transmission of BPD pathology.
