The relationship of various alexithymic traits with cognitive emotion regulation (ER), coping flexibility (CF) and psycho-emotional symptomatology was studied. The participants (N=109, 19—34 years old, 82.6% women) filled out the following questionnaires: the Bermond-Vorst Alexithymia Questionnaire, the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, the Flexibility of Coping with Stress Questionnaire, and the Four-Dimensional Symptom Questionnaire for assessing distress, depression, anxiety, and somatization.

The opposite tendency is characteristic for individuals with alexithymia type I and II. High emotional arousability and low cognitive emotional processing ability determine low adaptiveness and vulnerability to emotional disorders. Low cognitive awareness of emotions contributes to the diminishing use of adaptive cognitive ER strategies and leads to a decrease in CF. Low emotional arousability contributes to a high CF and, along with concrete thinking, reduces the use of maladaptive ER strategies.https://psyjournals.ru/files/119862/cpp_2021_n1_Larionov.pdfalexithymiacognitive emotion regulationcopingdistressdepressionsomatizationanxietypsycho-emotional symptoms |

The article discusses the ideas concerning the multidimensionality of the alexithymia construct and the problems of alexithymia studies. The relationship of
various alexithymic traits with cognitive emotion regulation (ER), coping flexibility (CF) and psycho-emotional symptomatology was studied. The participants
(N=109, 19—34 years old, 82.6% women) filled out the following questionnaires:
the Bermond-Vorst Alexithymia Questionnaire, the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, the Flexibility of Coping with Stress Questionnaire, and the
Four-Dimensional Symptom Questionnaire for assessing distress, depression,
anxiety, and somatization. Young people with type III alexithymia and those with
no alexithymia are characterized by favorable cognitive ER and CF. The opposite
tendency is characteristic for individuals with alexithymia type I and II. High
emotional arousability and low cognitive emotional processing ability determine
low adaptiveness and vulnerability to emotional disorders. Low cognitive awareness of emotions contributes to the diminishing use of adaptive cognitive ER
strategies and leads to a decrease in CF. Low emotional arousability contributes
to a high CF and, along with concrete thinking, reduces the use of maladaptive
ER strategies. |
