“…The Portuguese version of the Situational Test of Emotional Management—Brief (STEM-B; Allen et al, 2015 ; Portuguese version by da Motta et al, 2021 ) was used to measure emotion regulation in the form of emotional management ability. It is an 18-item short version of the original 44-item Situational Test of Emotional Management (STEM; MacCann & Roberts, 2008 ).…”

“…In the original study (Allen et al, 2015 ), this measure showed a good internal consistency, α = 0.84. In the Portuguese version (da Motta et al, 2021 ), an acceptable internal consistency was found, α (Kuder-Richardson Formula 20 [KR-20]) = 0.62, which was considered reasonable given that KR-20 may be influenced by the measure’s (brief) length, difficulty, and average item correlations (Cortina, 1993 ). In the present study, the scale also presented an acceptable internal consistency, α (KR-20) = 0.60.…”

Adolescence is a critical developmental period associated with an increased variety of interrelated risks and vulnerabilities. Previous studies have found associations between early memories of warmth and safeness, as well as emotion regulation, and self-harm and suicidal ideation in adolescence. Additionally, these early emotional memories have been found to be positively linked with some indicators of emotion regulation during this period. The present cross-sectional study extends prior research by exploring the moderating role of emotion regulation in the relationships between early memories of warmth and safeness, as well as each of the following risk-related outcomes in adolescence, in younger (i.e., 13–15) and older (i.e., 16–19) adolescents: suicidal ideation and self-harm and its associated functions (i.e., automatic and social reinforcement. Three self-report measures of these early emotional memories, emotion regulation, and risk-related outcomes, and a sample of 7918 Portuguese adolescents (53.3% females), with ages ranging from 13 to 19 (Mage = 15.5), were used. In both age groups, at high levels of emotion regulation, early memories of warmth and safeness had a greater (negative) effect on suicidal ideation and the automatic reinforcement function of self-harm, compared to at average and low levels of emotion regulation. These findings highlight the enhancing role of emotion regulation on the associations between early memories of warmth and safeness and some risk-related outcomes in adolescents, both younger and older, which reveals the relevance of targeting emotion regulation when preventing or tackling these outcomes, regardless of adolescents’ levels of early memories of warmth and safeness.

“…Multiple psychosocial variables hypothesized to negatively associate with impulsivity were explored: early memories of warmth and safeness using the Early Memories of Warmth and Safeness for Adolescents Scale (EMWSS-A; original version by Richter et al, 2009 ; Portuguese version by Cunha et al, 2014 ), rational decision-making style using the General Decision-Making Style Scale (GDMSS; original version by Scott & Bruce, 1995 ; Brazilian version by Löbler et al, 2019 ), resilience using the Resilience Scale (RS; original version by Wagnild & Young, 1993 ; Portuguese version by Felgueiras et al, 2010 ), emotion regulation using the Situational Test of Emotional Management-Brief (STEM-B; original version by Allen et al, 2015 ; Portuguese version by da Motta et al, 2021 ), coping using the Toulousiana Coping Scale (TCS; original version by Esparbès et al, 1993 ; Portuguese adolescent version by Amaral-Bastos et al, 2015 ), parental attachment using the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA; original version by Armsden & Greenberg, 1987 ; Portuguese version by Machado & Oliveira, 2007 ), social group attachment using the Social Group Attachment Scale (SGAS; original version by Smith et al, 1999 ; Portuguese version by Dinis et al, 2008 ), satisfaction with school-related variables using six self-report items (i.e., school satisfaction, satisfaction with classmates, peers from other classes, friends from school, teachers, school staff), and family satisfaction using three self-report items (i.e., satisfaction with parents, siblings, and remaining family). See Supplementary Text 1 for a more detailed description of these measures.…”

The literature shows that impulsivity, prevalent in adolescence, is negatively linked with a variety of psychosocial factors (e.g., positive interpersonal relationships, emotion regulation); however, there is limited research examining the relative contribution of multiple factors for this trait nor exploring how these factors influence the associations between impulsivity and risk-related outcomes. Drawing on multiple components of the unified theory of development (i.e., psychological variables, peers subsystem, community subsystem, family processes subsystem), this cross-sectional study aims to identify explanatory psychosocial variables (i.e., early memories of warmth and safeness, rational decision-making style, resilience, emotion regulation, coping, parental attachment, social group attachment, satisfaction with school and family-related variables) that are negatively related with impulsivity, in younger (13–15) and older (16–19 years) adolescents, and explore their moderating role in the associations between this trait and some risk-related outcomes (i.e., verbal aggression, anger, self-harm, other high-risk behaviors). A representative sample of 6894 adolescents (52.9% female) living in the Azores (Portugal), with ages ranging from 13 to 19 (M = 15.4), was used. Two stepwise multiple regressions, one for each age group, revealed that only emotion regulation, parental attachment, and social group attachment had a negative effect on impulsivity in both age groups; additionally, satisfaction with teachers also had this effect in younger adolescents. The first three variables weakened the positive associations between impulsivity and the risk-related outcomes. These results suggest that the psychological system and all subsystems of the social context measured play a relevant role in explaining adolescent impulsivity and that it may be reduced by promoting emotion regulation, positive parenting practices, healthier relationships with peers, and healthier relationships with teachers.

“…Emotion management is a crucial skill for achieving relevant psychosocial objectives. The literature [11] analyzed and thoroughly fitted a simple experimental psychometric test of emotion management scenarios. The results showed that the model was vertically corrected longitudinally across the logistic regression scale and provided good item difficulties with the fitted domain.…”

In this paper, a factor analysis of emotion management competencies was conducted using multivariate statistical analysis for the emotion management strategies of college students. Five competencies, such as emotion regulation ability and seeking external support, were selected as exploratory factors, and KMO and Bartlett's sphericity test verified their feasibility. After the factors were identified, the correlation and influence of physical exercise on college students’ emotion management ability were investigated based on multiple regression methods, and optimization strategies were proposed in turn. In terms of exercise time, college students’ emotion management ability was significantly correlated with exercise time in general, and the correlation coefficient was 0.885. The intensity and frequency of physical exercise showed a linear relationship with college students’ emotion management ability, and the coefficients of the standardized regression equation were 0.325 and 0.246, in turn.
