“…This is because the ability to drop the struggle with one's own thoughts, and also the ability to unhook from distressing thoughts, presupposes being aware of those thoughts and feelings. 15 Psychological mindedness also appears inextricably associated with general psychological wellness, which links in to research suggesting that psychological mindedness is associated with lower levels of psychopathology, and can even mediate the relationship between dysfunctional coping styles and depressive Table IV This study also further confirms the factorial model of the BIPM, and by extension the construct of psychological mindedness, as a twofactor model incorporating Interest and Insight. This correlates with other recent validations in German, 19 and also a study in caregivers of autism.…”

INTRODUCTION: Psychological mindedness concept is widely accepted to be significantly correlated to psychological strength and mental health. There are multiple scales that attempted to measure psychological mindedness objectively, with the most recent one being Balanced Index of Psychological Mindedness (BIPM). Psychological mindedness is an area of interest in psychiatry and psychology in Malaysia. Hence, this study aims to validate the Bahasa Malaysia Version of Balanced Index of Psychological Mindedness (BIPM-M). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The 14-items scale was translated according to World Health Organization guidelines. 141 participants were recruited from the university population. Participants were required to fill the basic demographic information, as well as Bahasa Malaysia version of Balanced Index of Psychological Mindedness, and two other scales, namely Mindful Awareness Attention Scale (MAAS), and Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II Scale (AAQ-II). RESULTS: BIPM-M showed excellent internal consistency with Cronbach α of 0.87. As per the original BIPM, the Bahasa Malaysia version also suggested two factor structures in this scale. BIPM-M was significantly correlated with AAQ-II. Conclusion: BIPM-M is a psychometrically sound instrument that can be utilized to assess the psychological mindedness among Malaysians, and certainly enhance the array of psychological assessments available as Malaysia faces the mental health after-effect of COVID-19.

Rumination is described as the propensity of responding to distress by repetitively and passively focusing on one's negative emotions, and failures, and their consequences (Nolen-Hoeksema, 1991, 1998). Therefore, given that rumination is characterized especially by difficulties in managing and controlling negative emotional states, it is considered as the most common (impaired) emotional regulation strategy, and can be defined as an emotional process related to a repetitive, undesired, and past-oriented negatively inclined thought (Compare, Zarbo, Shonin, Van Gordon, & Marconi, 2014; Smith & Alloy, 2009). Recent evidence suggested that because of problems related to monitoring of negative states, rumination may be associated with exaggerated physiological reactivity relative to demands from the environment, and to some difficulties in attentional control abilities. The current study aimed at deepening our understanding of the role that a maladaptive emotional regulation strategysuch as ruminationmight play in physiological response changes and in engaging dysfunctional attentional strategies. We used a multimethod assessment including self-reports (i.e., Rumination and Reflection Questionnaire, and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale), physiological measures, (i.e., Heart Rate Variability recording), and attention tasks (i.e., Stroop Task) in order to examine the multiple aspects of rumination across genders. Sixty-eight individuals (30 males and 38 females) were administered DERS À16, RRQ and, soon after them, the Stroop task. Immediately after completing the Stroop task (T1), participants were exposed to a three-phase, baseline-stress-recovery experimental paradigm while their heart rate variability (HRV) was recorded. After completing the experimental paradigm, Stroop stimuli were presented for the second time (T2), in order to examine possible intra-individual differences between the two performances in the Stroop task. Our findings showed that rumination was higher in females than in males, but in men it appeared to be strongly associated with an overall impaired emotional regulation. However, no gender differences in rumination and emotion dysregulation were found when inspecting physiological data. The current study aims to contribute towards a better understanding which emotion regulation strategies and which physiological mechanisms are associated with rumination.

“…In fact, difficulties in emotion regulation (ER) characterize both psychopathological conditions such as borderline personality disorder, depression, or anxiety (Glenn & Klonsky, ; Gross & Muñoz, ; McLaughlin, Mennin, & Farach, ; Mennin, Heimberg, Turk, & Fresco, ); and maladaptive behaviors such as self‐injury, alcoholism, or substance abuse (Fox, Axelrod, Paliwal, Sleeper, & Sinha, ; Fox, Hong, & Sinha, ; Gratz, Bornovalova, Delany‐Brumsey, Nick, & Lejuez, ; Klonsky, ). Furthermore, ER is also important to maternal sensitivity (e.g., de Campora, Giromini, Larciprete, Li Volsi, & Zavattini, ; de Campora, Larciprete, Delogu, Meldolesi, & Giromini, ), well‐being (e.g., Nyklíček, Vingerhoets, & Zeelenberg, ), interpersonal relationships (e.g., Giromini, Brusadelli, Di Noto, Grasso, & Lang, ) and, more broadly, health (e.g., Consoli et al., ; Freire & Tavares, ; Kossakowska, Cieścińska, Jaszewska, & Placek, ; Willemsen, Haentjens, Roseeuw, & Vanderlinden, ).…”

A Brazilian Investigation of the 36- and 16-Item Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scales

Objective: About 10 years ago, Gratz and Roemer (2004) introduced the Difficulties in EmotionRegulation Scale (DERS), a 36-item self-report instrument measuring 6 areas of emotion regulation problems. Recently, Bjureberg et al. (2015) have introduced a new, briefer version of the DERS comprising only 16 of the 36 items included in the original version. Because no studies have yet crossvalidated the recently introduced 16-item DERS and the 36-item DERS has never been tested in Brazil, we sought to inspect the psychometric properties of scores from both DERS versions with a nonclinical Brazilian sample. Method: Participants were 725 adult volunteers aged 18-70 years (mean = 30.54, standard deviation = 10.59), 82.3% of whom were women. All were administered the DERS along with a number of other self-report and performance-based instruments. Data analyses inspected internal consistency, factor structure, and convergent as well as divergent validity of scores from both DERS versions. Results: Results show that scores from both DERS versions possess good psychometric properties. Interestingly, both versions correlated, in the expected direction, with psychopathology and showed no significant correlations with cognitive measures. Like in other studies, however, the Awareness factor of the 36-item DERS did not produce optimal validity and reliability indexes. Conclusion: Taken together, our findings indicate that the 16-item DERS may be preferred over the 36-item version and provide additional support to the differentiation between emotion regulation and cognitive tasks of emotional perception and abstract and verbal reasoning.
