“…Specifically, emotion-identification difficulties (EID) in speech following ABI are found to be widespread [2] and related to poor quality-of-life [3]. As a consequence, the past decade shows a growing interest in both the research and clinical community to correctly assess EID as a path for rehabilitation.…”

“…Defisit dalam tugas-tugas yang membutuhkan selfcontrol ditunjukkan subjek alexythimia akibat kesulitannya mengenali dan membedakan perasaan diri sendiri (Henry, Phillips, Crawford, Theodorou, & Summers, 2006 Analisis selanjutnya menemukan bahwa peran trait alexithymia dan rumination terjadi pada level dimensi trait, terhadap kombinasi valence dan arousal stimulus afektif tertentu. Rating valence yang lebih positif dilaporkan pada kategori stimulus positif-arousal tinggi seiring peningkatan kecenderungan berfokus pada dunia luar (dimensi EOT pada trait alexythimia) dan banyaknya kritik terhadap diri (dimensi Brooding pada trait rumination).…”

Abstract. Literatures on alexithymia and rumination are typically separated; however, the negative manifestations of both traits can potentially be attenuated by trait self-control. This experiment (N = 85) aimed to explore the dynamics of self-reported alexythimia, rumination, and self-control toward an individual's structure of current affect. Participants were asked to rate affective valence and arousal of 60 stimuli from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS) using Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM). Results indicated that (1) trait alexythimia, rumination, and self-control were intercorrelated, (3) subtraits in alexythimia and rumination were associated with hypersensitivity towards affective stimuli, and (3) negative affect was prerequisite to the activation of self-control. This finding highlights that the roles of individual differences on affective experiences are context-dependent upon the combination of affective valence and arousal.Keywords: arousal; trait alexithymia; trait rumination; trait self-control; valence Abstrak. Trait alexithymia dan rumination umumnya diteliti secara terpisah, namun dampak buruknya terhadap pengalaman afektif secara potensial dapat dihambat oleh trait self-control. Penelitian ini bertujuan memetakan struktur pengalaman afektif berdasarkan perbedaan individual dalam trait alexithymia, rumination, dan self-control. Pengalaman afektif partisipan (N = 85) dibangkitkan melalui teknik induksi visual International Affective Picture System (IAPS, 2008) yang mencakup 60 foto dari kombinasi dua dimensi afektif, yaitu valence (positif vs. netral vs. negatif) dan arousal (tinggi vs. rendah). Rating valence dan arousal diberikan dalam bentuk label non-verbal Self-Assessment Manikin. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan (1) terdapat interkorelasi antara trait alexithymia, rumination, dan self-control, (2) dimensi-dimensi pada trait alexythimia dan rumination memiliki asosiasi dengan hipersensitivitas terhadap stimulus afektif, dan (3) afek negatif dibutuhkan sebagai sinyal untuk mengaktivasi trait self-control. Temuan ini menggarisbawahi bahwa peran ketiga trait tersebut dalam struktur pengalaman afektif tidak muncul secara global namun bersifat kontekstual dari perspektif kombinasi valence dan arousal.Kata kunci: arousal; trait alexithymia; trait rumination; trait self-control; valence Unsur 1 fundamental apa yang menyebabkan manusia cenderung menggenggam erat hal-hal yang ia sukai, dan sebaliknya, menendang dengan penuh kebencian hal-1 Korespondensi mengenai isi artikel ini dapat dilakukan melalui: cleo.yusainy@ub.ac.id hal yang tidak ia sukai?

“…Increased difficulty in emotional regulation has been correlated to decreased ability to sustain meaningful relationships, which leads to a reduction in overall quality of life [15]. This study divided HRQOL into four subsets that emerged during qualitative analysis of the interviews: social change, physical changes leading to life changes, confidence to do things, and self-development.…”

“…Additionally, emotional regulation can act as a predictor of HRQOL outcomes. Regarding individuals affected by TBI, Henry et al [15] found that participants with TBI, as compared to controls, had significant difficulty identifying and describing emotions [15]. This identification of emotions can be important to aspects of daily function [16].…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze changes in emotional regulation and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) following a yoga intervention for three participants with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Yoga was utilized as a modality to improve HRQOL and emotional regulation.Methods: A mixed method design was used to analyze changes in emotional regulation and HRQOL. Participants completed an eight-week yoga intervention and assessments were completed before and after the intervention. Outcome measures included the Difficulty in Emotional Regulation Scale (DERS) and Quality of Life after Brain Injury Scale (QOLIBRI, both are reliable and valid after TBI. The Change in score (percent change) were calculated for data from both assessments. Semi-structured interviews were completed, data were transcribed, and qualitative data were analyzed with a focus on emotional regulation and HRQOL.Results: On average, the three participants had a 16% improvement in DERS scores and 6% improvement in QOLIBRI scores following the yoga intervention. Analysis of the qualitative data indicate that participants identified improvements related to emotional regulation in the mind-body connection, peaceful and calm feelings, concentration and focus, and self-control. In relation to HRQOL participants noted social changes, physical changes leading to life changes, confidence to do things and self-development. Conclusion:Yoga is a potential intervention to address emotional regulation and HRQOL for individuals with chronic TBI. Emotional regulation and HRQOL are two important factors affected post-TBI that through this study were impacted by yoga as a focused mind-body intervention.
