Čustvena disregulacija kot mediatorska spremenljivka med starševsko toplino in nadzorom ter uživanjem alkohola

Majaron, Teja (author), Bucik, Valentin (mentor)

Čustvena samoregulacija je ključnega pomena za uspešno delovanje posameznika na vseh področjih življenja. Razvoj te sposobnosti je pod vplivom tako genetskih kot tudi okoljskih dejavnikov, med katerimi igra glavno vlogo primarna socializacija. Na področju starševstva, ki ga lahko opredelimo kot proces podpiranja otrokovega razvoja skozi specifična, ciljno usmerjena vedenja, lahko slednja združimo v dimenzije starševstva. Med njimi sem v nalogi raziskovala toplino in pretirano zaščito, katerih retrospektivne ocene sem opredelila kot napovednika čustvene regulacije in rabe alkohola posameznikov v obdobju prehoda v odraslost. Ob tem sta me zanimali tudi povezanost čustvene regulacije in rabe alkohola ter morebitna mediatorska vloga čustvene regulacije med starševskima dimenzijama in rabo alkohola. Podatke sem zbirala z merskimi pripomočki Vprašalnik vezi s starši (PBI), Lestvica ugotavljanja težav z uravnavanjem čustev (DERS) in Vprašalnik o rabi alkohola (AUDIT). V zastavljenem modelu sta se pokazala statistično pomemben učinek topline in mejno pomemben učinek pretirane zaščite na čustveno regulacijo. Pretirana zaščita je pomembno napovedovala tudi rabo alkohola, medtem ko se toplina in čustvena regulacija z njo nista pomembno povezovali. Posredna učinka obeh starševskih dimenzij na rabo alkohola prek čustvene regulacije sta bila zanemarljiva. Nizke povezave med nekaterimi merjenimi konstrukti in slabo prileganje celotnega modela je bilo slabo lahko med drugim razložimo z metodološkimi pomanjkljivostmi naše raziskave, kot so majhen vzorec, zelo nizke razpršenosti podatkov na nekaterih postavkah in izrazito nenormalne porazdelitve podatkov. Povezave, ki so se kljub temu pokazale, potrjujejo pomen kvalitetnega starševstva za izide posameznika ter nakazujejo na smiselnost oblikovanja izobraževalnih programov za starše ali bodoče starše, preventivnih ukrepov za posameznike, rizične za zlorabo alkohola in razvoj odvisnosti, ter načrtnega razvijanja kapacitete za čustveno samoregulacijo v psihoterapevtski obravnavi.

• Title: Emotion dysregulation as a mediator between parental warmth, control, and alcohol use

Abstract

Emotion self-regulation is crucial for an individual's successful functioning across all areas of life. The development of this ability is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, with primary socialization playing a key role. In the domain of parenting, which can be defined as the process of supporting a child's development through specific, goaloriented behaviors, these behaviors can be grouped into parenting dimensions. In my thesis, I explored the dimensions of warmth and overprotection, using retrospective evaluations of these dimensions as predictors of emotion regulation and alcohol use in individuals transitioning to adulthood. I also examined the relationship between emotion regulation and alcohol use, as well as the potential mediating role of emotion regulation between parenting dimensions and alcohol use. Data were collected using the Parental6 Bonding Instrument (PBI), the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). The proposed model revealed a statistically significant effect of warmth and a marginally significant effect of overprotection on emotion regulation. Overprotection significantly predicted alcohol use, while warmth and emotion regulation were not significantly associated with it. The indirect effects of both parenting dimensions on alcohol use through emotion regulation were negligible.Low correlations between some measured constructs and the poor fit of the overall model could, among other things, be attributed to methodological limitations of our study, such as a small sample size, very low variability in responses to certain items, and highly nonnormal data distributions. The connections that have nevertheless emerged confirm the importance of quality parenting for individual outcomes and emphasize the importance of creating educational programs for parents or future parents, preventive measures for individuals at risk of alcohol abuse and the development of addiction, and the planned development of capacity for emotion self-regulation in psychotherapeutic context.
