摘要
情感意识(EA)被认为可以帮助调节自身情绪并获得他人的社会支持,从而促进心理健康。本研究在一项为期一年的纵向研究中测试了这些潜在的关系,研究对象是 460 名最近被诊断出患有乳腺癌(即在四个月内)的女性(年龄在 23-91 岁之间,平均 56.4 岁)。这些妇女完成了对情感意识、社会支持、社会压力、情感症状和幸福感的测量。线性模型测试了 EA 对社会支持和压力对情感症状和幸福感的调节作用。在 EA 较高的妇女中,低社会支持与抑郁和乐观程度较低有关。有证据表明,较高的 EA 预测基线时抑郁程度较高,但九个月随访时抑郁程度较低。这些结果支持这样一种观点,即随着时间的推移,EA 会提高对可用社会支持的敏感度,并促进情绪调整,这表明对 EA 的评估有助于指导临床医生识别这类人群中最有可能出现不良心理健康结果的人群。
Emotional awareness amplifies affective sensitivity to social support for women with breast cancer.
Emotional awareness (EA) is thought to facilitate psychological health by aiding emotion regulation in oneself and garnering social support from others. This study tested these potential relationships within a one-year longitudinal study of 460 women (age 23-91 years, mean 56.4 years) recently diagnosed with breast cancer (i.e., within four months). The women completed measures of emotional awareness, social support, social stress, affective symptoms, and well-being. Linear models tested EA as a moderator of social support and stress on affective symptoms and well-being. In those with higher EA, low social support was associated with greater depression and lower optimism. There was some evidence that higher EA predicted greater depression at baseline but lower depression at nine-month follow-up. These results support the idea that EA increases sensitivity to available social support and facilitates emotional adjustment over time, suggesting that assessment of EA could help guide clinicians in identifying those at greatest risk of adverse mental health outcomes in this population.
