“…DD also appeared to be a distinct genetic factor. Our findings also support the hypothesis that although internalizing psychopathology is positively associated with all impulsivity facets except sensation seeking, this genetic association is most pronounced for IPTs related to the control over negative emotions (Carver & Johnson, 2018). This work demonstrates that large-scale GWAS results can be used to evaluate theoretical models of impulsivity and psychology more broadly.…”

“…Thus, we evaluated whether genetic separability among IPTs was accompanied by differential relations to an internalizing psychopathology factor based on data from well-powered published GWAS of major depressive disorder (Howard et al, 2018), neuroticism (Luciano et al, 2018), and subjective-wellbeing (Okbay et al, 2016). Building on previous phenotypic analyses (Berg et al, 2015;Carver & Johnson, 2018), we hypothesized that specific IPTs, particularly those pertaining to emotion regulation (i.e., negative/positive urgency), would be more strongly genetically correlated with internalizing psychopathology than other IPTs, supporting their distinction from other IPTs. represented by ovals.…”

Factor analyses suggest that impulsivity traits that capture tendencies to act prematurely or take risks tap partially distinct constructs. We applied genomic structure equation modeling to evaluate the genetic factor structure of two well-established impulsivity questionnaires, using published genome-wide association study statistics from up to 22,861 participants. We also tested the hypotheses that delay discounting would be genetically separable from other impulsivity factors, and that emotionally-triggered facets of impulsivity (urgency) would be those most strongly genetically correlated with an internalizing latent factor. A five-factor model best fit the impulsivity data. Delay discounting was genetically distinct from these five factors.As expected, the two urgency subscales were most strongly related to an Internalizing Psychopathology latent factor. These findings provide empirical genetic evidence that impulsivity can be disarticulated into distinct categories of differential relevance for internalizing psychopathology. They also demonstrate how measured genetic markers can be used to inform theories of psychology/personality.

“…In support of Rachman's theory, impairments in emotional processing and emotional regulation have been linked to a wide range of mental health conditions in adults, including anxiety and panic disorders (Baker, 2007a, Folk et al, 2014, post traumatic stress disorder (Kumpala, 2011, Rachman, 2001, Woodward et al,, 2018, Weiss et al, 2013, obsessive compulsive disorders (Kang, 2012), eating disorders (Bydlowski, 2005), psychosis & persecutory delusions (Baslet, 2008 ;Westermann & Lincoln, 2011), deliberate self-harm (Gratz & Tull, 2010; identity disorders and borderline personality disorder (Kaufman, 2015;Bilbo, 2010, ); attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorders (Mitchell et al, 2012) substance abuse (Dvorak et al, 2014), depression (Honkalampi, 2000, Joormann, 2010, eating disorders (Lavenderet al, 2014;Racine & Wildes, 2013;Smith et al, 2019), psychopathic personality characteristics (Donahue et al, 2014), internalizing and externalizing disorders (Berke et al, 2018;Carver & Johnson, 2018;Naragon-Gainey et al, 2018;Hofmann et al, 2012), in psoriasis (Almeida et al, 2017), pain (Elbèze & Gay 2012;Esteves et al, 2013) and medical conditions (Blumenau 2012), Although Rachman's theory focuses on the outcomes of successful or unsuccessful processing, it does not specify the psychological mechanisms that might be involved in the processing itself. Baker developed an expanded emotional processing model which specified psychological mechanisms by which the emotional processing of stressful events might be facilitated or impeded, described in 2007, 2010, and 2015.…”

Validation française de l'Echelle des Processus Emotionnels (EPS-25) Résumé Objectif: l'Echelle des Processus Emotionnels (Emotional Processing Scale-EPS) est un autoquestionnaire de 25 items utilisé pour évaluer les styles de traitement émotionnels et leurs dysfonctionnements. Notre objectif était de traduire et de valider cette échelle en français auprès d'une population tout venant et clinique. Méthode: après une traduction et une rétrotraduction, l'étude de validation a été menée auprès de 1176 adultes (215 adultes de la population générale, 251 étudiants et 686 personnes présentant des troubles somatiques (VIH, Sclérose en Plaques, douleurs chroniques, leucémie) et 24 personnes bipolaires hospitalisées pour dépression. Résultats: la fiabilité interne de l'échelle totale est bonne, avec un alpha de Cronbach de .91. La structure en cinq facteurs est très proche de celle de l'échelle anglaise. Conclusion: La version française de l'EPS possède une bonne validité. Les corrélations avec d'autres outils proches sur le plan conceptuel (e.g. TAS-20, CERQ, STAXI) sont conformes aux attendus. Les scores à l'EPS permettent de distinguer les populations tout-venant et clinique.

“…At the neurocognitive level, negative urgency is most closely linked to impaired response inhibition, implicating the second and third stages of inhibitory control in the expression of this trait. Despite this link, performance on the majority of behavioral and neuropsychological tasks measuring impulsivity are poorly or only modestly associated with negative urgency and other self-reported impulsive traits [48][49][50][51]. Accumulating evidence nuances our understanding of this relationship, suggesting that negative urgency may be more strongly tied to emotional response inhibition, particularly the ability to inhibit motor impulses driven by negative affect [52][53][54][55][56].…”

Emotional Response Inhibition: A Shared Neurocognitive Deficit in Eating Disorder Symptoms and Nonsuicidal Self-Injury

et al. 2020

Eating disorder (ED) symptoms often co-occur with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). This comorbidity is consistent with evidence that trait negative urgency increases risk for both of these phenomena. We previously found that impaired late-stage negative emotional response inhibition (i.e., negative emotional action termination or NEAT) might represent a neurocognitive mechanism for heightened negative urgency among people with NSSI history. The current study evaluated whether relations between negative urgency and ED symptoms similarly reflect deficits in this neurocognitive process. A total of 105 community adults completed an assessment of ED symptoms, negative urgency, and an emotional response inhibition task. Results indicated that, contrary to predictions, negative urgency and NEAT contributed independent variance to the prediction of ED symptoms, while controlling for demographic covariates and NSSI history. Worse NEAT was also uniquely associated with restrictive eating, after accounting for negative urgency. Our findings suggest that difficulty inhibiting ongoing motor responses triggered by negative emotional reactions (i.e., NEAT) may be a shared neurocognitive characteristic of ED symptoms and NSSI. However, negative urgency and NEAT dysfunction capture separate variance in the prediction of ED-related cognitions and behaviors, distinct from the pattern of results we previously observed in NSSI.Brain Sci. 2020, 10, 104 2 of 17 of diverse self-injurious behaviors [12][13][14][15][16] and a putative non-specific marker of general vulnerability for psychopathology [17,18]. Consistent with this notion, the most commonly reported function of NSSI and ED behaviors is to reduce negative affect [19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Ecological momentary assessment corroborates the idea that direct and indirect self-injury are both motivated by a desire to alleviate unpleasant emotional states, as increased negative affect proximally predicts episodes of NSSI, dysregulated eating, and compensatory behaviors [26][27][28][29][30][31][32].Much like emotion dysregulation, impulsivity is implicated in various psychiatric disorders and self-injurious behaviors. This multifaceted construct encompasses several subfactors, including impulsive personality traits and impulsive behavior, or motor impulsivity. Impulsive behavior can be further divided into impulsive action and impulsive choice, which reflect inhibitory control and decision-making deficits, respectively. Impaired inhibitory control and consequently, impulsive action, are aspects of altered neurocognition broadly involved in suicidal thoughts and behaviors [12]. Impulsive personality traits, especially negative urgency, are also associated with NSSI [11,[33][34][35][36] and dysregulated eating [36][37][38][39][40]. Negative urgency is a transdiagnostic personality characteristic that refers to individual differences in the tendency to act impulsively in response to negative affect [41]. Heightened negative urgency among people who engage in self-injurious behaviors s...
