Emotion regulation beyond executive and attention difficulties: impact on daily life impairments in community adolescents by Elena Poznyak, Martin Debbané

“…Yet, it remains unclear whether and how specific processes related to emotion regulation contribute to daily life impairments, across different domains of functioning. The aim of this cross-sectional study in community adolescents was to investigate whether three processes commonly implicated in adaptive emotion regulation—emotion recognition, emotion reactivity and use of cognitive emotion regulation strategies—uniquely contribute to adolescent-rated functional impairment, above and beyond the effects of age and gender, ADHD symptoms, and individual differences in verbal ability and executive functions. …”
