“…Negative support seems irrelevant to severity of disability. A previous study found an independent association of social support with functional disability (Travis, Lyness, Shields, King, & Cox, 2004). Our study distinguishes the source (friends and family) and salience (positive and negative) of support and is able to separate the multiple-layered effect of the support construct.…”

Objectives: Activity of daily living (ADL) stages demonstrated ordered associations with risk of chronic conditions, hospitalization, nursing home use, and mortality among community-living elderly. This article explores the association of stages with psychosocial well-being. We hypothesized that higher ADL stages (greater ADL limitation) are associated with more restricted social networks, less perceived social support, greater social isolation, and poorer mental health. Methods: Cross-sectional data from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (N = 3,002) were analyzed in regression models and latent factor models. Results: Although ADL stages had a nearly monotonic relationship with most mental health measures (e.g., Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale [CES-D]), only the complete limitation stage (Stage IV) showed significant disadvantage in the majority of social network measures. Discussion: The study may aid clinicians and policy makers to better understand the social and mental health needs of older adults at different ADL stages and provide well-planned social and mental health care.

“…The nature of social support can be instrumental (e.g., material things), informational (e.g., guidance to facilitate coping or problem solving), and emotional (e.g., empathy). Perceived social support appears to be more important than received (enacted) social support for emotional health (Haber, Cohen, Lucas, & Baltes, 2007; Lakey, Orehek, Hain, & VanVleet, 2010), such as depression (e.g., Stice, Ragan, & Randall, 2004; Travis, Lyness, Shields, King, & Cox, 2004). However, the mechanism through which social support affects emotional well-being is not well understood.…”

Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (IERQ): Scale Development and Psychometric Characteristics

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Despite the popularity of emotion regulation in the contemporary literature, research has almost exclusively focused on only intrapersonal processes, whereas much less attention has been placed in interpersonal emotion regulation processes. In order to encourage research on interpersonal emotion regulation, we present a series of 4 studies to develop the Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (IERQ). The final scale consists of 20 items with 4 factors containing 5 items each. The 4 factors are: Enhancing Positive Affect; Perspective Taking; Soothing; and Social Modeling. The scale shows excellent psychometric characteristics. Implications for future research are discussed.

Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Model of Mood and Anxiety Disorders

2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Although social factors are of critical importance in the development and maintenance of emotional disorders, the contemporary view of emotion regulation has been primarily limited to intrapersonal processes. Based on diverse perspectives pointing to the communicative function of emotions, the social processes in self-regulation, and the role of social support, this article presents an interpersonal model of emotion regulation of mood and anxiety disorders. This model provides a theoretical framework to understand and explain how mood and anxiety disorders are regulated and maintained through others. The literature, which provides support for the model, is reviewed and the clinical implications are discussed.
