“…Second, we explored whether the association between parent alexithymia and child PTSS would be partially explained by reliability (r = 0.59, PA; r = 0.56, ER) were found in previous research [79]. Given the high correlation between subscales (r(86) = 0.80, p < 0.001) and the recommendation of recent literature [80] we utilized the total score (α = 0.92), where higher scores indicate greater difficulty with emotion expression.…”
