Abstract

Objective: This study was designed to analyze the associations between emotional awareness (EA) and internalizing and externalizing symptoms, and mood states in children ages 8-12 who were previously exposed to intimate partner violence (EIPV). The study also aimed to explore the association between EA and external and internal protective factors of resilience.

Method: A descriptive design study was used; participants were 61 children (M = 10 years, 52.5% girls) who were EIPV patients from three Child and Adolescent Mental Health Centers in the Barcelona metropolitan area, Spain. The hypotheses of this study were that (a) an increased capacity for EA would be associated with less severity of internalizing and externalizing symptoms in children EIPV and (b) an increased capacity for EA would correlate with greater resilience.

Results: Lower EA was found to be associated with more symptoms, specifically trait anxiety, depression, somatic complaints, total externalizing and internalizing symptoms, and increased feelings of anger and sadness. Greater EA was linked to improved social skills, higher self-esteem, empathy, humor, and both external and internal resilience, as well as with reduced aggressiveness/antisocial behavior and loneliness/social anxiety. The variables that best explained the EA factors were trait anxiety, dysphoria, problem attention, sadness, humor, self-esteem, internal and external protective factors, appropriate social skills, and friendship.

Conclusion: This study highlights the relevance of EA for children EIPV. Lower EA was associated with higher symptom severity, while higher EA was linked to better self-esteem, social skills, and resilience. The findings suggest the significance of addressing EA in therapeutic interventions for this population. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

遭受亲密伴侣暴力侵害的儿童的情绪意识、症状和保护因素之间的关系。
研究目的本研究旨在分析曾遭受亲密伴侣暴力(EIPV)的8-12岁儿童的情绪意识(EA)与内化和外化症状以及情绪状态之间的关联。该研究还旨在探讨情绪认知与抗逆力的外部和内部保护因素之间的关联:研究采用描述性设计,参与者为西班牙巴塞罗那市区三家儿童和青少年心理健康中心的61名EIPV患者儿童(男=10岁,52.5%为女孩)。本研究的假设是:(a) EA 能力的提高与 EIPV 儿童内化和外化症状的减轻有关;(b) EA 能力的提高与复原力的增强有关:结果发现,较低的情感体验与较多的症状有关,特别是特质焦虑、抑郁、躯体不适、总的外化和内化症状以及愤怒和悲伤情绪的增加。EA越高,社交能力越强,自尊心、同理心、幽默感越高,内外部复原力越强,攻击性/反社会行为和孤独感/社交焦虑越低。最能解释EA因素的变量是特质焦虑、焦虑症、问题注意力、悲伤、幽默、自尊、内外部保护因素、适当的社交技巧和友谊:本研究强调了 EA 与儿童 EIPV 的相关性。较低的 EA 与较高的症状严重程度相关,而较高的 EA 则与较好的自尊、社交技能和适应能力相关。研究结果表明,在对这一人群进行治疗干预时,解决EA问题具有重要意义。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA,保留所有权利)。
