“…ESQ-PL ( Gasiorowska et al, 2022 ) was used to assess healthy emotionality. It is a self-report measure that captures how people vary across six dimensions that make up a healthy emotional life: (1) Outlook captures an individual’s ability to sustain positive emotions and a general tendency to have a positive attitude; (2) Resilience refers to the temporal aspects of emotional response, but it captures the ability to disengage from negative affect; (3) Social Intuition is the degree to which a person is sensitive to social cues such as facial expressions, gestures, body language, or voice intonation; (4) Self-awareness is the ability to perceive body signals of emotions and to recognize and interpret them; (5) Sensitivity to Context reflects the ability to adjust reactions to the emotional and behavioral context of a situation; (6) Attention captures the ability to ignore distractions and not succumb to an attention-grabbing stimulus; (7) Healthy Emotionality (ESQ) is the overall score obtained in the questionnaire, it provides insight into the global predisposition to adaptive emotional responses and their regulation.…”

“…Therefore, we turned to the relatively novel concept of healthy emotionality. It highlights the ability to achieve optimal biopsychosocial functioning rather than conceiving of health as a lack of pathology ( Kesebir et al, 2020 ; Gasiorowska et al, 2022 ). A general predisposition to adaptive affective responses and effective emotional regulation is central to this concept and, thus, focal to this research.…”

The influence of emotions on memory is a significant topic in the psychology of eyewitness testimony. However, conflicting results have arisen, possibly due to varying approaches and methodologies across studies. These discrepancies might also arise from inadequate consideration of individual differences in emotionality. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the moderating effect of healthy emotionality on the relationship between emotion and memory of criminal events. The results of our laboratory experiment (N = 150) conducted with VR technology indicate that eyewitnesses of crimes, unlike observers of neutral events, recall details concerning the perpetrators’ actions immediately preceding the crime act better. Notably, individuals with lower scores on a scale measuring healthy emotionality (ESQ) demonstrate enhanced recollection for these details. At the same time, emotionality plays no significant role in recollection in repeated measurement, as well as in remembering the neutral event. The emotions experienced during crime observation appear to hinder the recollection of perpetrator appearance and behavior unrelated to the crime. These findings are discussed in light of the adaptive role of negative emotions in detecting danger and preparing for unpleasant stimuli.

“…Competent judges then selected from them 5 people who most resembled the perpetrators. (Gasiorowska et al, 2022) was used to assess healthy emotionality. It is a self-report measure that captures how people vary across six dimensions that make up a healthy emotional life: (1) Outlook captures an individual's ability to sustain positive emotions and a general tendency to have a positive attitude; (2) Resilience refers to the temporal aspects of emotional response, but it captures the ability to disengage from negative affect; (3) Social Intuition is the degree to which a person is sensitive to social cues such as facial expressions, gestures, body language, or voice intonation; (4) Self-awareness is the ability to perceive body Subjects completed the ESQ, responding to 24 questions on a scale ranging from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 7 (Strongly Agree).…”

The discussion of the role of emotions in memory is one of the more vital problems in the psychology of witness testimony. However, depending on the approach and methodology adopted, studies have yielded conflicting results The discrepancies in results may be a consequence of insufficient consideration of individual differences in emotionality. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the moderating effect of individual differences in emotionality. At the same time, the study aimed to explore the emotional reactions of witnesses and their impact on memory functions. The study (n = 150) showed that eyewitnesses, unlike observers of neutral events, are better at remembering details of the perpetrators' actions immediately before the crime. In turn, these details are particularly well remembered by people who are characterized by a tendency to experience negative emotions for a long time and who score low on a scale measuring overall healthy emotionality. At the same time, the emotions experienced during the observation of a crime seem to generally impair the recollection of details about the perpetrators' appearance and their behavior unrelated to the crime. The results are discussed with reference to the adaptive role of negative emotions in detecting danger and preparation for unpleasant stimuli.

“…Due to its characteristics, the ESQ can also be a brief and effective tool for investigating emotional and personological aspects in other cultural and linguistic contexts. To date, the ESQ has been translated into Persian [10], Polish [11] and German [12], and its psychometric properties tested; each validation process yielded reliability and validity coefficients similar to that of the original version. An Italian version of the ESQ could offer interesting implications for future research as well, to deepen our understanding of cultural characteristics concerning emotions within the Italian population, with both clinical and social implications.…”

Psychometric validation of the Italian version of the Emotional Style Questionnaire

Emotional styles concern the ways in which individuals adapt and respond to the world and can be defined using six dimensions: outlook, resilience, social intuition, self-awareness, sensitivity to context and attention. The Emotional Style Questionnaire (ESQ) assesses how people vary across the dimensions and gauges an individual’s overall level of emotional health. An Italian version of the ESQ (ESQ-ITA) could favour the understanding of cultural characteristics concerning emotions and personality within the Italian population, with both clinical and social implications. The aim of the present study is to validate the ESQ in the Italian language and to assess its psychometric properties. Two studies were conducted. Study 1 examined construct validity, internal consistency, and test–retest reliability, through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), Cronbach’s alpha estimates, and by estimating the Spearman’s rank correlation Study 2 examined construct validity and internal consistency through the CFA and Cronbach’s alpha estimates and investigated criterion validity by correlating the ESQ-ITA dimensions with the corresponding scales or subscales used for the validation estimating, again, the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient Study 2 also examined the criterion validity of the validated scales and the ESQ-ITA overall score to assess its suitability as an indicator of emotional health. ESQ-ITA was confirmed to be reliable and stable. The correlation between the ESQ-ITA overall score and the other scales and questionnaires supports the use of ESQ-ITA to measure emotional health. The Italian version of the ESQ opens up the possibility to enrich the research landscape with new knowledge that will be useful for advancing the pathogenetic and therapeutic aspects of psychological distress and emotional dysregulation.
