The Role of Anxiety Sensitivity in the Relationship Between Emotion Dysregulation and Internalizing Psychopathology Among Trauma-Exposed Inpatient Adolescents

Cross-cultural validation of a French version of the Emotional Processing Scale (EPS-25)

“…In support of Rachman's theory, impairments in emotional processing and emotional regulation have been linked to a wide range of mental health conditions in adults, including anxiety and panic disorders (Baker, 2007a, Folk et al, 2014, post traumatic stress disorder (Kumpala, 2011, Rachman, 2001, Woodward et al,, 2018, Weiss et al, 2013, obsessive compulsive disorders (Kang, 2012), eating disorders (Bydlowski, 2005), psychosis & persecutory delusions (Baslet, 2008 ;Westermann & Lincoln, 2011), deliberate self-harm (Gratz & Tull, 2010; identity disorders and borderline personality disorder (Kaufman, 2015;Bilbo, 2010, ); attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorders (Mitchell et al, 2012) substance abuse (Dvorak et al, 2014), depression (Honkalampi, 2000, Joormann, 2010, eating disorders (Lavenderet al, 2014;Racine & Wildes, 2013;Smith et al, 2019), psychopathic personality characteristics (Donahue et al, 2014), internalizing and externalizing disorders (Berke et al, 2018;Carver & Johnson, 2018;Naragon-Gainey et al, 2018;Hofmann et al, 2012), in psoriasis (Almeida et al, 2017), pain (Elbèze & Gay 2012;Esteves et al, 2013) and medical conditions (Blumenau 2012), Although Rachman's theory focuses on the outcomes of successful or unsuccessful processing, it does not specify the psychological mechanisms that might be involved in the processing itself. Baker developed an expanded emotional processing model which specified psychological mechanisms by which the emotional processing of stressful events might be facilitated or impeded, described in 2007, 2010, and 2015.…”

Emotion dysregulation as a maintenance factor for posttraumatic stress symptoms: The role of anxiety sensitivity

“…In line with our hypothesis, we found that elevated emotion dysregulation at baseline predicted increases in PTSS at Month‐1 follow‐up through heightened AS at Week 3, after controlling for treatment condition and initial PTSS and AS. These findings are consistent with limited cross‐sectional work examining the mechanistic role of AS as it relates to emotion dysregulation and PTSS (Viana et al, 2018; Viana et al, 2017; Woodward et al, 2018), and expands this work by utilizing a diverse clinical sample of adults. Theory suggests that emotion dysregulation may entail greater difficulties discerning between bodily sensations and negative emotional states, leading individuals to view bodily sensations as unpredictable and frightening (Tull, 2006).…”

“…However, only one aspect of emotion dysregulation was investigated, and this finding needs to be replicated among a more diverse sample. Next, Viana et al (2017) and Woodward, Viana, Raines, Hanna, and Zvolensky (2018) showed that AS underlied the association between emotion dysregulation total and subscale scores and PTSD symptoms among 74 adolescent inpatients. However, it is unclear if these findings can be generalized to adults with less severe symptoms, and the cross‐sectional nature of the data precludes conclusions about directionality.…”

Prevalence, injury-, and non-injury-related factors associated with anxiety and depression in polytrauma patients – A retrospective 20 year follow-up study

“…Psychiatric stressors lead to increased risk of developing psychiatric diseases [35]. This sensitivity to psychiatric sequelae increases the risk of the development of depression, or anxiety after trauma [36]. It appears, that patients who suffered psychiatric insults or are at higher risk of experiencing psychiatric stressors are at high risk of developing psychiatric sequelae after polytrauma.…”
