Strategien der Emotionsregulation bei sozial ängstlichen Kindern und Jugendlichen

Published Online:April 30, 2014https://doi.org/10.1026/1616-3443/a000246

Abstract

Theoretischer Hintergrund: Bisherige Studien lassen vermuten, dass Kinder und Jugendliche mit sozialer Angststörung nicht nur emotionale Kompetenzdefizite in der Erkennung und im Ausdruck von Emotionen aufweisen, sondern auch Schwierigkeiten bei der Emotionsregulation bestehen. Fragestellung: Unterscheiden sich Kinder und Jugendliche mit sozialer Angststörung und sozial nicht ängstliche Kinder und Jugendliche in ihren adaptiven und maladaptiven Emotionsregulationsstrategien? Methode: Erhebung der Emotionsregulationsstrategien von sozial ängstlichen (mit und ohne Diagnose, n = 59 vs. n = 36) und sozial nicht ängstlichen Kindern und Jugendlichen (n = 146) mittels standardisiertem Fragebogen FEEL-KJ. Ergebnisse: Kinder und Jugendliche mit sozialer Angststörung berichten von signifikant weniger adaptiven und mehr maladaptiven Emotionsregulationsstrategien im Vergleich zu einer Kontrollgruppe. Schlussfolgerungen: Auffälligkeiten in der Regulierung negativer Emotionen scheinen mit sozialen Ängsten assoziiert zu sein.


Strategies for emotion regulation in children and adolescents with social anxiety disorder

Background: Previous studies indicate that children and adolescents with social anxiety disorder have not only emotional competence deficits in recognition and expression of emotion but also difficulties with emotion regulation. Objective: Are there differences between children and adolescents with and without social anxiety disorder regarding adaptive and maladaptive emotion regulation? Method: Recording the ability of emotion regulation of socially anxious children and adolescents (proven diagnosis: n = 59; without proven diagnosis: n = 36) and children and adolescents without social anxiety (n = 146) using the German questionnaire FEEL-KJ. Results: Children and adolescents with social anxiety disorder apply significantly less adaptive and increased maladaptive strategies of emotion regulation in comparison to controls. Conclusions: Difficulties in the regulation of negative emotions seem to be associated with social anxiety.
