摘要

摘要:情绪失调症是一种亚临床症状,患者难以识别、区分和描述自己的情绪。最常用的测量方法是自我报告的多伦多情感障碍量表-20(TAS-20)。然而,学者们对其结构持有不同观点,导致在对情感障碍患者进行分类时遇到困难,不利于临床诊断、咨询和干预。本研究旨在调查中国四所大学的大学生样本(n = 707)中的情感缺失类型(或亚群)。通过因子混合模型(FMM)方法,有效地识别了三因子两类模型解的两个潜在类别:"高EOTlexithymia "类(18.2%)和 "非alexithymia "类(81.8%)。这两个亚组在识别感受困难(DIF)和描述感受困难(DDF)方面表现相似,但在外向思维(EOT)方面却有显著差异。这表明,外向思维可能是情感障碍的诊断标准。

Heterogeneity of Alexithymia Subgroups
Abstract: Alexithymia is a subclinical experience in which individuals struggle to identify, distinguish, and describe their own emotions. It is most commonly measured with the self-reported Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 (TAS-20). However, scholars hold different views on its structure, resulting in challenges in classifying individuals with alexithymia, which is detrimental to clinical diagnosis, counseling, and intervention. The present study aimed to investigate the types (or subgroups) of alexithymia within a sample of college students ( n = 707) from four Chinese universities. Two latent classes of three-factor two-class model solution were effectively identified by the Factor Mixture Model (FMM) approach: a “High-EOT alexithymia” class (18.2%) and a “Non-alexithymia” class (81.8%). The two subgroups exhibited similar performance in difficulty in identifying feelings (DIF) and difficulty in describing feelings (DDF), but they differed significantly in externally oriented thinking (EOT). This suggests that EOT might be a diagnostic criterion for alexithymia.

期刊介绍: The main purpose of the EJPA is to present important articles which provide seminal information on both theoretical and applied developments in this field. Articles reporting the construction of new measures or an advancement of an existing measure are given priority. The journal is directed to practitioners as well as to academicians: The conviction of its editors is that the discipline of psychological assessment should, necessarily and firmly, be attached to the roots of psychological science, while going deeply into all the consequences of its applied, practice-oriented development.
