“…Children with DLD have expressed how their experience of safety and security is highly dependent on who they are with [46], further compounding the wish to stay with a trusted caregiver. Ensuring separation anxieties and emotional dysregulation are not carried into adulthood is important, as neurotypical adults who demonstrate these characteristics are suggested to have an increased risk of developing unhealthy interpersonal relationships [141].…”

Background It is well-documented that children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) have a higher likelihood of experiencing anxiety, as well as other socio-emotional and behavioural (SEB) difficulties. Despite this, there is little consensus as to how these difficulties manifest. This study aims to understand the prevalence of broader SEB difficulties and anxiety, informing intervention development by understanding the relationships between them. Methods A mixed-methods, case–control study was conducted. First, an online survey was completed by 107 parents of either children with DLD (“DLD sample”; n = 57) or typically developing children (“typical sample”; n = 50), aged 6–12 years old. Binary SEB statements informed by previous qualitative work (e.g. “my child requires routine/sameness”; “my child has frequent tantrums”) provided an insight into the prevalence of SEB difficulties in both DLD and typical samples. Validated measures of anxiety, emotion regulation, intolerance of uncertainty, insistence on sameness, family stress and coping mechanisms were also collected. Correlation and mediation analyses were run using these validated measures to understand the manifestation of anxiety in children with DLD in more detail. Qualitative interviews were then carried out with a select panel of survey respondents (n = 4). Results The DLD sample scored significantly higher on all binary SEB statements than the typical sample: experiencing anxiety (80.7%, p < .05), requiring routine and sameness (75.4%, p < .001) and emotional dysregulation (75.4%; p < .001) were the most common difficulties reported for children with DLD. Using the validated scales, family stress and coping mechanisms were found to only correlate with the manifestation of anxiety in the typical group, not the DLD group. “Intolerance of uncertainty” and “insistence on sameness” were found to fully mediate the relationship between DLD diagnosis and symptoms of anxiety. Parent’s interviews provided contextual support for the analysis, as well as highlighting sensory sensitivities as a focus for future research. Conclusions Parents of children with DLD appear to cope well with their children’s complex SEB needs. Intervention focussing on intolerance of uncertainty may help the management of difficulties with anxiety. Behaviours such as insistence on sameness should be investigated further, as potential indicators for anxiety amongst children with DLD.

“…In this sense, several authors have shown that difficulties in emotional regulation are a factor that hinders the prevention of violence [ 45 , 46 , 47 , 66 , 67 ]. In addition, it has been pointed out that people who present difficulties in emotional regulation do have greater difficulty in managing their negative emotions in stressful situations, especially among those with insecure attachment styles [ 46 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 ]. These studies are consistent with our findings, which show a high prevalence of insecure attachment styles in subjects with emotional regulation difficulties.…”

“…These facts seem to explain the connection found between difficulties in emotional regulation, violence and the presence of insecure attachment styles [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ]. Therefore, this combination of factors could translate into violent responses towards their partners when the aggressors feel that their attachment needs are not satisfied [ 68 ].…”

Violence in intimate partner relationships among young adults has become a global health problem given its prevalence and its negative effects on physical and psychological well-being. The severity of the problem has given rise to a large body of research that has attempted to find the variables associated with victimization in young couples (for example, attachment style, emotional regulation skills or empathy, among others). Moreover, traditionally, many of these investigations have only considered the point of view of female victims within a gender violence approach. However, in recent times, more and more evidence of the existence of mutual violence in young relationships has been found. These findings, combined with simplistic explanations of the phenomenon, have proven to be insufficient to prevent it. In this context, the main objective of this study was to investigate how some variables linked to dating violence interact with each other, modifying the mutual violence young people suffer and exercise. Considering this, different instruments were administered (the Experience in Close Relationships Scale (ECR-R); Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale (DERS-E); Basic Empathy Scale (BES); and Multidimensional Couple Violence Scale (EMVN)) to a sample of 557 young Chileans. The analysis of the results, based on the construction of a moderated mediation model, reveals that difficulties in emotional regulation are a predictor of violence in intimate partner relationships, whose direct and indirect effects on the violence exercised can be moderated by that partner’s attachment style. The findings also reveal that there is no association between empathy and violence, and they highlight that both men and women are victims and aggressors at the same time. This demonstrate the need to consider prevention and intervention strategies aimed at both sexes, since intimate partner violence is mutual and reciprocal.

“…In this state, they may be more prone to act aggressively or at a higher risk of becoming victims of violence. Kayha and Tasklae have assessed the relationship between difficulties in separation anxiety, emotion regulation, impulsivity, and women's experiences of close partner abuse in females who are married, or in a romantic relationship now or during the previous year [10]. They were asked to conduct online self-report questionnaires, using various scales to assess their demographic, emotion regulation, separation anxiety level, and impulsivity.…”

Separation anxiety disorder in adults has received increased attention recently, while trauma has been regarded as the root of much psychopathology. Individuals could have different responses to trauma due to various factors, thus rendering the link between trauma and mental disorders complex. However, few research has been done on the relationship between adult separation anxiety disorder (ASAD) and trauma. This study delves into the intricate interplay between them, aiming to shed light on the potential antecedents and treatment of ASAD. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, the study endeavors to illustrate the function of life trauma in the manifestation of ASAD with a focus on the underlying cognitive processes. Furthermore, the study examines the interplay between ASAD and violence at both societal and individual levels, unveiling a possible cyclical that may perpetuate disorder and conflicts. Potential therapeutic implications of the finding are also discussed. To conclude, past traumatic experiences could contribute to the development of ASAD conditions through mediating pathways. However, most current studies are cross-sectional, thus no further causal relationship could be concluded. More longitudinal research and studies on potential treatment of trauma-involved ASAD are required in the future.
