Adattamento Italiano della Scala di Perfezionismo Multidimensionale (MPS) di Frost
No full textOne of the scales most widely used to measure perfectionism is the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS) proposed by Frost and colleagues (Frost, Marten, Lahart and Rosenblate, 1990). The MPS includes 35 items grouped together in 6 subscales: 1) high personal standards; 2) excessive concern about making mistakes; 3) excessive concern about the quality of personal actions; 4) excessively high parental expectations towards the child; 5) excessive parental criticism and blame towards the child for failing to achieve the high standards decided by the parent; 6) appreciation of order, cleanliness, organisation. This study was performed to obtain an Italian version of the MPS and to assess the psychometric features. The principal components analysis highlighted the existence of 4 factors and not 6. Therefore, the factorial structure is similar to the structure identified by Strober (1998), with the scales regarding concern over mistakes and doubts about actions forming an unique factor and the parental expectations and criticism scales forming an unique factor; the correlations between each of the 4 scale scores and the EDI-2 Perfectionism scale were all positive and significant and account for a portion of variance higher than 24%, with the exception of the Organisation scale, for which the variance corresponds to 7%. The reliability of the scales, measured using Cronbach's alpha coefficient,is always higher than 0,75
The role of emotion regulation in the relationship between insomnia and eating disorders
No full textObjectives: Emotion Regulation (ER) is the set of processes used for modulating the quality, intensity or duration of an emotion (Gross e Thompson, 2007). Several strategies (e.g. suppression of the emotions) have been demonstrated to negatively influence mental health (Aldao et al., 2010). Previous evidence indicate that poor sleep is associated to higher level of emotion instability and greater experience of negative emotions (e.g. Baglioni et al., 2010). Similarly, people vulnerable to eating disorders have been shown to experience intense negative emotions and to turn to food for up-regulating them (Polivy and Herman, 2002). Moreover, both people with insomnia and people with AN show personality features of emotional dysregulation and inhibition, social avoidance and affective liability (Van de Laar et al., 2010; Holliday, et al. 2006). It is thus possible that emotion dysregulation is one of the factors that promote the development of both insomnia and eating disorders or a factor that promote the comorbidity among them. Methods: Results of three studies will be presented. The first includes a community sample of 1019 female university students (Lombardo et al., submitted); the second (Lombardo et al., in prep.) includes a community sample of 568 female university students. In both studies valid and reliable questionnaires were used for assessing insomnia and eating disorders symptoms and emotion dysregulation. In the third study (Lombardo et al., in prep.) 105 female participants were enrolled and both self-report and physiological measures (facial EMG, HR, SCL) recorded. Results: Results of the first study evidence that people reporting insomnia symptoms also show higher disordered eating even after having controlled for depression. Results of the second study evidence that the use of suppression mediates the relationship between insomnia symptoms and eating restriction. The third study evidence that suppression is related to high rates of co-occurrence of insomnia, eating disorders, anxiety and depression symptoms. Moreover, the more severe simptomatology is also related to different psychophysiological responding to emotional stimuli pertinent or not with the main symptoms. Conclusions: The role of emotion suppression and the clinical implications of the relationships evidenced will be discussed
