“…Further, extending these findings, prospective investigations have found that emotion dysregulation predicts substance use following residential substance abuse treatment (Axelrod, Perepletchikova, Holtzman, & Sinha, 2011; Berking et al, 2011), and changes in emotion dysregulation account for reductions in risky behaviors across time (Weiss, Tull, & Gratz, in press). Finally, and of particular relevance to the current study, extant research provides support for an indirect relation between negative affect and risky behaviors through emotion dysregulation in civilian samples, such that maladaptive responses to negative affect confer the greatest risk for risky behaviors (Bonn-Miller, Vujanovic, Boden, & Gross, 2011; Gratz, 2006; Veilleux, Skinner, Reese, & Shaver, 2014). …”

Substance use disorder (SUD) is highly prevalent among military populations and associated with a wide range of negative outcomes. The goal of the present study was to explicate the relations among negative affect, emotion dysregulation, and urges to engage in risky behaviors among military veterans in residential SUD treatment. Emotion dysregulation (overall and three dimensions: access to emotion regulation strategies, impulse control, and emotional awareness) mediated the relation between negative affect and urges to engage in risky behaviors. Findings highlight the potential utility of treatments targeting emotion dysregulation in reducing risky behaviors among military veterans with SUD.

“…Other studies have found stronger daily stress-reactivity associated with genetic risk (Gunthert et al, 2007) and among individuals who reported childhood trauma (Glaser, van Os, Portegijs, & Myin-Germeys, 2006). It should be noted that Veilleux et al (2014) did not find a between-person association between global, retrospective reports of emotional-reactivity (i.e., the tendency to respond strongly to emotional stimuli) and average levels of DTC motivation. However, retrospective reports of such micro-processes tend not to correlate with more sophisticated approaches that model such processes using close-to-real time reports (Henry, Moffitt, Caspi, Langley, & Silva, 1994; Shiffman, 2000; Todd, Tennen, Carney, Armeli, & Affleck, 2004).…”

“…For example, results from Veilleux, Skinner, Reese and Shaver’s (2014) cross-sectional study of college students and non-college adults showed that individuals with high DTC motivation levels were more likely to report feeling intense negative emotions and that this association was mediated by a lack of emotional clarity and deficient emotion-regulation strategies. Similarly, Colder (2001) found that individuals high in DTC motivation, but not other drinking motives, showed a stronger positive association between life stress and heightened electrodermal reactivity to a negative mood induction.…”

Background Research consistently shows drinking-to-cope (DTC) motivation is uniquely associated with drinking-related problems. We furthered this line of research by examining whether DTC motivation is predictive of processes indicative of poor emotion regulation. Specifically, we tested whether nighttime levels of episode-specific DTC motivation, controlling for drinking level, were associated with intensified affective reactions to stress the following day (i.e., stress-reactivity). Design and Methods We used a micro-longitudinal design to test this hypothesis in two college student samples from demographically distinct institutions: a large, rural state university (N = 1421; 54% female) and an urban historically Black college/university (N = 452; 59% female). Results In both samples the within-person association between daily stress and negative affect on days following drinking episodes was stronger in the positive direction when previous night’s drinking was characterized by relatively higher levels of DTC motivation. We also found evidence among students at the state university that average levels of DTC motivation moderated the daily stress-negative affect association. Conclusions Findings are consistent with the notion that DTC motivation confers a unique vulnerability that affects processes associated with emotion regulation.

“…Mental health problems, including substance and alcohol misuse, are disproportionately represented amongst homeless populations, when compared to the general population (Scutella, Johnson, Moschion, Tseng, & Wooden, 2012). A cumulative body of evidence demonstrates that maladaptive emotion regulation responses can underlie a range of psychological disorders (Aldao et al, 2010;Campbell-Sills & Hinshaw, 2007;Sher & Grekin, 2007;Veilleux, Skinner, Reese, & Shaver, 2014;Werner & Gross, 2010).…”

“…A cumulative body of evidence demonstrates that these maladaptive responses can underlie a range of psychological disorders, such as depression, substance use, eating disorders, somatoform disorders, and borderline personality disorder (Aldao et al, 2010;Campbell-Sills & Hinshaw, 2007;Sher & Grekin, 2007;Veilleux, Skinner, Reese, & Shaver, 2014;Werner & Gross, 2010). Outside of the clinical literature, emotion regulation has also been found to be a key determinant of occupational effectiveness, work strain, academic success, and general life satisfaction and well-being (Grandey, 2000;Gross, Richards, & John, 2006).…”

Transitions through homelessness: the impact of psychosocial factors on well-being and outcomes in a homeless sample

Homelessness is a complex social issue that is of increasing concern to most developed nations.Homelessness is more than not having a house; it is a form of social exclusion and carries significant physical, psychological, and social challenges. The broad aim of the current thesis was to investigate how the psychological and social aspects of the homeless experience can influence outcomes, such as well-being. In particular, the research focuses on processes related to social categories, social identities, and social support of people, as people transition through homeless accommodation services.The first empirical chapters (Chapter 4 and 5) focus on the impact of self-categorization as homeless. Study 1 (Chapter 4) was a qualitative and quantitative cross-sectional study with 119 residents of homeless accommodation services in South-East Queensland. Results demonstrated that while the majority of participants accepted the homeless label (55%), a large portion of residents (31%) rejected the homeless label, or were ambivalent (14%). Respondents who rejected the homeless label reported greater personal well-being and lower negative mood symptoms than participants who accepted the label. Study 2 (Chapter 5) explored this further using an experimental paradigm among 80 residents of a homeless service. Participants who were required to selfcategorize as homeless at the beginning of the questionnaire had significantly lower future life aspirations and perceived competency than participants who did not. Further, future life aspirations and perceived competency both mediated the relationship between self-categorization and wellbeing.Studies 3 and 4 (Chapters 6 and 7) focus on social identity processes for people transitioning through homelessness. Study 3 assessed how multiple group memberships and service identification related to well-being and positive housing outcomes among 76 participants while they were residing in a homeless accommodation service and again 2 -4 weeks after leaving the service (or three months later if participants had not left the service). The results found that multiple group memberships and service identification independently predicted well-being at Time 2, via social support. Both social identity processes also indirectly predicted housing outcomes via social support. Study 4 built on this research by exploring the antecedents and outcomes that are related to service identification among 296 residents across 19 services. Characteristics of the service delivery model and perceptions of discrimination predicted participants' identification with staff. Further, identification with staff predicted service engagement 6 months later and identification with residents predicted joining new groups 6 months later.The final study (Chapter 8) examined how one of these social processes, namely the relationship between social support and well-being, related to an "individual" trait -emotion iii regulation. Results from a one-year longitudinal study, conducted over three time-points, supported a bi...
