“…The EDS-S retained the seven-point Likert scale, with items assessing the domains of emotional experiencing ('emotions overwhelm me'), cognition ('when I'm upset, everything feels like a disaster'), and behaviour ('when my emotions are strong, I often make bad decisions') and higher scores indicating higher ED. High internal consistency for the EDS-S has been reported (Mandavia et al, 2016;Michopoulos et al, 2015;Powers et al, 2015;Raimondi et al, 2022). The EDS-S demonstrated a significant correlation with DERS, and appeared predictive of depressive symptoms, PTSD symptoms, alcohol abuse, borderline personality disorder, general psychopathology, suicidality and psychiatric hospitalisation, and was negatively associated with positive affect and resilient coping (Mandavia et al, 2016;Michopoulos et al, 2015;Powers et al, 2015;Raimondi et al, 2022).…”
