Much of the research on hoarding is focused on cognition and behavior, with less focus on emotion and its regulation.
A comprehensive search yielded nine studies (out of 5581) from which to draw data for the current study. Across the eight studies (nine independent effect sizes) which provided data for 1595 total participants (Mean = 34.46, SD = 8.78; 64.26% females).
Emotion dysregulation had a medium association with hoarding symptoms (r = 0.43). The effect was strong (r = 0.61) in some populations and weaker (r = 0.19) in others. However, it was higher in nonclinical samples than in clinical samples. Also, the strength of the association between hoarding and emotion regulation differed by the type of hoarding measures adopted in the individual studies. Moreover, there were no statistically significant differences between emotion dysregulation facets and hoarding.
The findings highlight the importance of studying emotions and emotion regulation in hoarding.
囤积症的研究大多集中在认知和行为上,对情绪及其调节的关注较少。
全面检索后,从 5581 项研究中提取了 9 项研究的数据,用于当前研究。在提供了数据的 8 项研究(9 个独立效应量)中,共有 1595 名参与者(平均 34.46,标准差 8.78;64.26%为女性)。
情绪调节障碍与囤积症状中度相关(r=0.43)。在某些人群中,这种相关性很强(r=0.61),而在其他人群中则较弱(r=0.19)。然而,它在非临床样本中比在临床样本中更高。此外,在个别研究中采用的囤积症测量类型不同,囤积症与情绪调节之间的关联强度也不同。此外,情绪失调方面和囤积症之间没有统计学上的显著差异。
这些发现强调了在囤积症研究中研究情绪和情绪调节的重要性。
