“…These benefits can be explained by the fact that deep and slow breathing exercises contrast the effects of fast and shallow chest breathing, which is a common automatic habit, e.g., in patients with anxiety disorders (Hazlett-Stevens, 2008). In general, hyperventilation can lead to physical sensations resembling anxiety (HazlettStevens, 2008) and symptoms typical of panic attacks (Conrad et al, 2007).…”

“…One construct that has the potential to integrate these aspects of emotion regulation (and deficits in GAD) is mindfulness ( Desrosiers et al, 2013a , Greeson and Brantley, 2009 , Roemer et al, 2009 ). Mindfulness ( Brewer et al, 2013 ) consists of several distinct dimensions (with symptom counterparts), including the ability to pay attention (difficulty concentrating; ( Sugiura, 2004 )), the ability to notice experiences in the present without judging (worry and rumination; ( Hoge et al, 2013 )), and the ability to accept negative experience and feelings without reacting (physiological arousal; ( Hazlett-Stevens, 2008 )). Consequently, mindfulness based theories are increasingly incorporated in psychotherapeutic treatments to foster emotion regulation skills in GAD ( Kabat-Zinn, 1990 ).…”

BackgroundDespite the high prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and its negative impact on society, its neurobiology remains obscure. This study characterizes the neurostructural abnormalities associated with key symptoms of GAD, focusing on indicators of impaired emotion regulation (excessive worry, poor concentration, low mindfulness, and physiological arousal).MethodsThese domains were assessed in 19 (16 women) GAD patients and 19 healthy controls matched for age and gender, using questionnaires and a low demand behavioral task performed before and after an induction of perseverative cognition (i.e. worry and rumination). Continuous pulse oximetry was used to measure autonomic physiology (heart rate variability; HRV). Observed cognitive and physiological changes in response to the induction provided quantifiable data on emotional regulatory capacity. Participants underwent structural magnetic resonance imaging; voxel-based morphometry was used to quantify the relationship between gray matter volume and psychological and physiological measures.ResultsOverall, GAD patients had lower gray matter volume than controls within supramarginal, precentral, and postcentral gyrus bilaterally. Across the GAD group, increased right amygdala volume was associated with prolonged reaction times on the tracking task (indicating increased attentional impairment following the induction) and lower scores on the ‘Act with awareness’ subscale of the Five Facets Mindfulness Questionnaire. Moreover in GAD, medial frontal cortical gray matter volume correlated positively with the ‘Non-react mindfulness’ facet. Lastly, smaller volumes of bilateral insula, bilateral opercular cortex, right supramarginal and precentral gyri, anterior cingulate and paracingulate cortex predicted the magnitude of autonomic change following the induction (i.e. a greater decrease in HRV).ConclusionsResults distinguish neural structures associated with impaired capacity for cognitive, attentional and physiological disengagement from worry, suggesting that aberrant competition between these levels of emotional regulation is intrinsic to symptom expression in GAD.

“…Orang tua yang menerapkan pengasuhan disfungsional biasanya memiliki kemampuan regulasi emosi yang tidak adekuat (Morawska & Sanders, 2007). Keterampilan relaksasi merupakan salah satu metode yang baik dalam mengatasi situasi stress dibandingkan dengan cara menghindar dari ketidaknyamanan (Hazlett-Stevens, 2008).…”

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji efektivitas program pengasuhan positif dengan co-parenting untuk menurunkan penerapan pengasuhan disfungsional. Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui eksperimen kuasi dengan desain untreated control group design with dependent pretest and posttest samples dan analisisnya menggunakan Mann Whitney U Test dan Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test. Partisipan berjumlah 10 pasang orang tua dan terbagi dalam kelompok kontrol dan eksperimen. Penerapan pengasuhan disfungsional diukur melalui skala pengasuhan disfungsional yang disusun oleh Subekti. Hasil penelitian membuktikan “Program Pengasuhan Positif Dengan Co-parenting” efektif untuk menurunkan penerapan pengasuhan disfungsional (posttest-pretest z = -2,958, p = 0,003 (p < 0,05)). Hasil analisis kualitatif juga menunjukkan adanya perubahan dalam praktik co-parenting meliputi, terbentuknya kesepakatan dalam membuat aturan untuk anak, ayah lebih peka terhadap kebutuhan pasangan, dan adanya keterbukaan mengungkapkan harapan serta dukungan yang dibutuhkan pasangan.
