“…A positive or negative correlation between the scales of the ERQ (Abler & Kessler, 2009 ) and measurement procedures of the Toronto model of alexithymia (Taylor et al, 1997 ) has already been established several times (cf. Schiewer et al, 2022 ). In this case, the correlation would only confirm already recorded relationships between the concepts of expressive suppression and alexithymia.…”

“…For this purpose, the final extracted scales of the KFS were correlated with the sub- and total scales of the TAS-26 (Kupfer et al, 2001 ) and the ERQ (Abler & Kessler, 2009 ). Since a development of the items was semantically close to these two survey instruments, as well as the results around Schiewer et al ( 2022 ) showed a correlative and factorial relationship of both theoretical concepts measured by the constructs of the TAS-26 (Kupfer et al, 2001 ) and the ERQ (Abler & Kessler, 2009 ), a high correlation to both instruments was aimed for.…”

“…Individuals with marked expressive suppression also appear to not only suppress their emotions, but show associated limitations in speech production and verbal conversation (Goerlich-Dobre et al, 2014 ; Peters et al, 2014 ; Roche & Arnold, 2018 ) which in turn is associated with the use of fewer words as well as increased silence (Butler et al, 2003 ; Gross, 2002 ; Kim, 2008 ; Richards et al, 2003 ). Using the Toronto Alexithymia Scale-26 (TAS-26; Kupfer et al, 2001 ) and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ; Abler & Kessler, 2009 ), Schiewer et al ( 2022 ) were able to show that a common factor underlies the constructs of alexithymia and expressive suppression. The authors thus confirmed the factorial relationship previously recorded by Kessler et al ( 2010 ), but not defined as an independent construct.…”

“…The authors thus confirmed the factorial relationship previously recorded by Kessler et al ( 2010 ), but not defined as an independent construct. Continuing, the authors designate this factor as "speechlessness" (Schiewer et al, 2022 , p. 171), as reduced speech behavior (non-speech or silence) is implicated in dysfunctional emotion processing or emotional dysregulation (in the form of alexithymia and/or expressive suppression) (cf. Berger, 2004 ), whereas the latter manifest as an absence of flexibility in managing and responding to emotions (Werner & Gross, 2010 ).…”

“…Speechlessness manifests as a non-speaking or silence especially in the context of emotional distress (Berger, 2004 ) and emotional dysregulation (Schiewer et al, 2022 ). Individuals with a chronic (Ciuluvica et al, 2014 , 2019 ; Wierenga et al, 2017 ) or oncological disease (DeVries et al, 2012 ), psychosomatic disorders (Bagby et al, 2020 ; Lane et al, 2020 ) or states of emotional dysregulation (Schiewer et al, 2022 ) show increased difficulties to put their emotions into words.…”

Speechlessness forms a psychological concept that describes non-speaking or silence in different situations. Speechlessness occurs in particular during emotional stress. The Cologne Questionnaire on Speechlessness (ger.: Kölner Fragebogen zur Sprachlosigkeit) is an instrument for measuring speechlessness as a function of emotional perception and processing in situations of emotional stress or existing emotional dysregulation. The questionnaire was developed in theoretical proximity to the constructs of alexithymia and expressive suppression. Item selection was performed on a first line sample of N = 307 individuals of a normal population. Acquisition of an exploratory model to classify the phenomenon was conducted within four samples in clinical and non-clinical settings. Validation of the factorial structure was performed using an overarching dataset (N = 1293) consisting of all samples. The results of a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) indicated the best model fit (χ2 (df, 146) = 953.856; p < .001; Tucker-Lewis-Index = .891; Comparative Fit Index = .916; Root Mean Square Error of Approximation = .065; p < .001; N = 1293) with a four-factorial structure of the questionnaire. Both the overall acceptable validity and reliability recommend the application of KFS on individuals of the normal population as well as clinical subgroups. In addition, the questionnaire can also be used in the context of research on the regulation of emotions.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Mit dem Kölner Fragebogen zur Sprachlosigkeit (KFS) liegt erstmals ein validiertes Erhebungsinstrument zur Erfassung von Sprachlosigkeit vor. Die empirische Prüfung des KFS hinsichtlich seiner Eignung zur validen Unterscheidung von Personen mit gering und hoch ausgeprägter Sprachlosigkeit ist von zentraler Bedeutung für den klinischen Einsatz des Instruments. Material und Methoden Die Stichprobe umfasste die KFS-Daten von insgesamt 205 teilnehmenden Personen einer Onlineerhebung. Mithilfe mehrerer inferenzstatistischer Verfahren wurden die prädiktiven Eigenschaften des KFS-Item 12 analysiert, um es für die Bestimmung eines Schwellenwerts beim Einsatz des KFS nutzbar zu machen. Basierend auf dem 75. Perzentil des KFS-Item 12 erfolgte eine Dichotomisierung der Stichprobe mit anschließender „Receiver-operating-characteristic“(ROC)-Analyse zur KFS-Gesamtskala. Ergebnisse Die Ergebnisse der ROC-Analyse („area under the curve“ [AUC]: 0,863; p < 0,001) ergaben bei Verwendung des Youden-Index den optimalen Schwellenwert von >29, mit einer Sensitivität von 76 % und einer Spezifität von 79 % für die Gesamtskala des KFS. Diskussion Der Schwellenwert der KFS-Gesamtskala ist zur Differenzierung von Personen mit gering oder stark ausgeprägter Sprachlosigkeit geeignet. Das Item 12 des KFS kann zudem als Prädiktor einer potenziellen Sprachlosigkeit herangezogen werden.
