“…Finally, the authors reviewed these 168 articles in a more in-depth review and reached a consensus to further exclude 136 articles (70 did not involve participants with an ASD diagnosis, 42 were theoretical papers or secondary reviews, 15 did not include at least one ER measure, and 9 did not involve participants with an ASD diagnosis and were theoretical papers or secondary reviews), resulting in 32 articles that met the criteria and were included in the current review. Reference lists from the 32 studies were also reviewed [see asterisks in reference list for final included studies; specifically, three were ultimately identified through Bal et al, 2010;Mazefsky et al, 2013;Sofronoff, Attwood, Hinton, & Levin, 2007;Van Hecke et al, 2009].…”

“…Two of the four studies used more than one physiological measure [Bal et al, 2010;Van Hecke et al, 2009]. Six of the 64 ER measures were open-ended type measures and were used in 13% of the total studies (n = 4).…”

“…Individuals with ASD are known to react to emotionally aversive situations with behaviors that serve escape functions [Jahromi, Meek, & Ober-Reynolds, 2012], and inhibiting prosocial emotion-expressive behavior is also more common in individuals with ASD than in TD peers [Samson et al, 2012]. Individuals with ASD have been noted to have an overall higher rate of physiological arousal, making the regulation of emotional responses more difficult [Bal et al, 2010;Hirstein, Iversen, & Ramachandran, 2001;Kylliainen & Hietanen, 2006]. This arousal may also be influenced by hyper-or hyporesponsivity to environmental (e.g.…”

A Systematic Literature Review of Emotion Regulation Measurement in Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Emotion regulation (ER) difficulties are a potential common factor underlying the presentation of multiple emotional and behavioral problems in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). To provide an overview of how ER has been studied in individuals with ASD, we conducted a systematic review of the past 20 years of ER research in the ASD population, using established keywords from the most comprehensive ER literature review of the typically developing population to date. Out of an initial sampling of 305 studies, 32 were eligible for review. We examined the types of methods (self-report, informant report, naturalistic observation/ behavior coding, physiological, and open-ended) and the ER constructs based on Gross and Thompson's modal model (situation selection, situation modification, attention deployment, cognitive change, and response modulation). Studies most often assessed ER using one type of method and from a unidimensional perspective. Across the 32 studies, we documented the types of measures used and found that 38% of studies used self-report, 44% included an informant report measure, 31% included at least one naturalistic observation/behavior coding measure, 13% included at least one physiological measure, and 13% included at least one open-ended measure. Only 25% of studies used more than one method of measurement. The findings of the current review provide the field with an in-depth analysis of various ER measures and how each measure taps into an ER framework. Future research can use this model to examine ER in a multicomponent way and through multiple methods. Autism Res 2014, 7: 629-648 [American Psychiatric Association, 2013], and there is considerable evidence that the majority also struggle with associated emotional problems. For instance, in a population derived cohort of 5-to 16-year-olds, Totsika, Hastings, Emerson, Lancaster, and Berridge [2011] found that 85% of youth with ASD without an intellectual disability (ID) had clinically significant levels of hyperactivity, 74% of emotional problems, and 64% of conduct problems, compared to much lower rates in a typically developing comparison group (19% hyperactivity, 18% emotional problems, and 22% conduct problems). Further, youth with ID and ASD had higher rates of emotional disorders than those with only ID (88% vs. 63% for hyperactivity, 71% vs. 42% for emotional problems, and 65% vs. 46% for conduct problems, respectively). There is also considerable co-occurrence of multiple emotional problems in individuals with ASD. Approximately 40-50% of youth with ASD are estimated to meet criteria for two or more psychiatric disorders, often combining attentional or behavioral problems (e.g. ADHD) with internalizing problems (e.g. anxiety disorder), even after taking into account symptoms that may be related to core ASD sociocommunicative and behavioral symptoms [Leyfer et al., 2006;Simonoff et al., 2008].
