Summary: This study aimed to optimize the utility of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) by introducing and validating a 6-item short form called the ERQ-S. Results from online surveys of 508 community members and 245 college students showed that the ERQ-S had a 2-factor structure and high correlation with the original ERQ. The shorter format of the ERQ-S retains the psychometric strengths of the ERQ.

Summary: Older adults can regulate their emotional experiences with detachment numbing emotional experiences and decreasing physiological arousal; positive reappraisal brightening emotional experiences; and acceptance resulting in the highest perceptions of success and motivation. Each emotion regulation strategy appears to be most effective in specific domains for older adults.

Summary: The study revealed that rumination and non-acceptance of emotions are most closely associated with eating disorder psychopathology. Additionally, the associations between different emotion regulation strategies and symptomatology were weaker among patients with low BMI, suggesting a complex relationship between ED behaviors and emotion regulation. The findings call for interventions targeting emotion regulation, specifically rumination and difficulties accepting emotions, in the treatment of eating disorders.

Summary: Despite previous findings, which suggested that restrained eaters increase food consumption under stress, this study found that unrestrained eaters actually consume less food when faced with stress. The study discovered that stress activates the sympathetic nervous system, which then reduces hunger, ultimately leading to a decrease in food intake. However, the level of dietary restraint was found to moderate the relationship between hunger and intake, with less restrained individuals significantly decreasing their intake. This suggests that focusing on enhancing attunement to hunger may be more effective than promoting restraint.

Summary: Research suggests that beliefs about emotional controllability affect the use of emotion regulation strategies, which in turn impact psychological health and illness. The study found that believing emotions to be uncontrollable is related to higher suppression, lower reappraisal, and poorer eating disorder psychopathology. Reappraisal and suppression partially mediate the relationship between emotional controllability and eating psychopathology.

Summary: Numerous studies have shown that restrained eating is not effective for weight loss, as it can lead to difficulty in controlling eating behavior. This study used fMRI methods to examine the impact of food thoughts suppression on conflict monitoring in restrained eaters. Results indicated that suppressing thoughts about tasty food can lead to an increase in high-calorie food choices and decreased activity in the brain region responsible for conflict monitoring. This decline in conflict monitoring ability may contribute to unhealthy eating behavior in restrained eaters.

Summary: This study showed that in veterans, expressive suppression (ES) is significantly associated with the diagnosis of current PTSD and its symptom clusters, while cognitive reappraisal (CR) is not. Greater suppression of emotional expression is more strongly linked with meeting PTSD criteria in veterans, whereas decreased cognitive reappraisal is not associated with it.

Summary: This study investigated the neural correlates of emotion acceptance and suppression in individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). The results showed that BPD patients exhibited insular underactivation during emotion acceptance and caudate overactivation during emotion suppression. These findings suggest impaired emotional awareness in BPD and a tendency for BPD patients to habitually suppress emotions.

Summary: The study compared the effectiveness of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression strategies of emotion regulation using various measures such as self-report, facial expressions, and physiological assessment. Results showed that cognitive reappraisal was more effective in reducing negative emotions compared to suppression in self-report data. However, there was no significant difference between the two strategies in skin conductance response and electromyography. Additionally, heart rate deceleration increased during suppression attempts, indicating increased effort in suppression.

Summary: This study investigated differences in hemodynamic, hormonal, and heart rate variability parameters in women following complication-free pregnancies (healthy), preeclampsia, and gestational diabetes after giving birth. The research found significantly higher testosterone levels in the GDM group, as well as significantly higher cortisol levels with post-hoc testing showing differences compared to healthy individuals. Hemodynamic changes from week 16 to week 48 did not differ between groups, and there were no differences between individuals with preeclampsia and healthy individuals in all hemodynamic parameters. The study highlighted higher levels of chronic stress indicators in GDM measured via heart rate variability and cortisol when compared to women with a history of preeclampsia and healthy women.

Summary: In this study, the researchers investigate how facial expressions function as responses in interactional sequences using insights from cognitive and interactional linguistics. They analyze the co-occurrence of specific facial actions and multimodal stance-taking acts based on a data set of 24 dyadic interactions. The findings reveal that different types of stance acts show distinct patterns of facial responses, and there is also systematic variation within one type of stance act. These observations indicate that facial motor responses are systematic and context-dependent, analogous to verbal responses in interactional sequences.

Summary: While women with preeclampsia may have a risk of cognitive impairment after pregnancy, the study suggests that this effect does not manifest rapidly and is primarily influenced by the potentially life threatening stress induced, rather than directly related to pregnancy complications. Deficits observed in later life may be due to late-diagnosed hypertension and unfavorable lifestyle factors.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the effects of environmental factors on eating behavior and food intake in toddlers. The results showed that food fussiness was more common in older children, children conceived with medical assistance, children exposed to distractions during meals, rewarded by parents to finish meals, free to eat at will, and those who ate only occasionally with the whole family. Unsatisfactory dietary diversification was not significantly associated with any variable.

Summary: Overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after spinal cord injury (SCI) may be related to how persons with SCI experience satiation, their eating frequency, and the context in which they eat their meals. Those with SCI rely less on physiological satiation cues for meal termination and instead rely more on hedonic cues. There are differences in meal contexts and eating frequency between SCI individuals and controls, with SCI individuals consuming fewer meals but having a higher overall eating frequency due to increased snacking. These factors likely contribute to overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after SCI.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between executive functions and cognition during adolescence, and the intake of fat and sugar two years later. The study found that higher impulsivity and reward-seeking behaviors were related to greater fat and sugar intake in males, while higher negative urgency and BMI were related to greater intake in both sexes. These findings suggest that individuals with certain traits may be more at risk for weight gain due to overconsumption of unhealthy foods.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns resulted in changes in food accessibility and availability, leading to shifts in food habits and behaviors among people worldwide. A study conducted in Australia examined the self-reported changes in food habits and behaviors of adults during the COVID-19 restrictions in 2020. The majority of respondents reported developing positive food habits, such as trying new recipes, cooking from scratch, and reducing take-away meals. The study also found that family involvement in food preparation and eating together increased during the restrictions. However, there were negative experiences, including difficulties in purchasing certain foods and limited access to food outlets.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between sensory reactivity and feeding problems in young children. The results showed that taste/smell sensitivity was significantly associated with difficulties in texture transition/introduction, limited variety of foods, and both feeding problems. Additionally, children with total sensory reactivity or auditory filtering sensory reactivity had a higher prevalence of consuming a limited variety of foods. These findings highlight the importance of considering sensory reactivity as a potential predictor of feeding problems.
