Considerable attention has been devoted to the concept of flexible emotion regulation, which de-emphasizes the importance of any specific regulatory strategy in favor of the flexible deployment of strategies in response to specific situational challenges. The bulk of research in this area has been conducted on adult samples. Research on emotion regulation flexibility (ERF) in youth has been documented in only a limited number of studies and using various definitions. This systematic review aims to gather and summarize different conceptualizations and methodological approaches of adolescent ERF. We incorporate these findings into a general framework to understand ERF and its role in adolescents' emotional, behavioral and social functioning. Adhering to the PRISMA guidelines, 11 studies were included in the review. While ERF has been defined in various and inconsistent ways, the included studies utilized conceptualizations from two overarching domains: the regulation of expressed emotion and the repertoire of emotion regulation strategies. Promising approaches and future directions will be highlighted.
人们已经相当关注灵活情绪调节的概念,该概念淡化了任何特定调节策略的重要性,转而强调根据特定情境挑战灵活运用策略。这方面的大部分研究都是在成年样本中进行的。只有少数研究使用各种定义记录了青少年情绪调节灵活性(ERF)的研究。本系统综述旨在收集和总结青少年 ERF 的不同概念化和方法学方法。我们将这些发现纳入一个通用框架中,以了解 ERF 及其在青少年情绪、行为和社会功能中的作用。根据 PRISMA 指南,有 11 项研究被纳入综述。虽然 ERF 已经以各种不一致的方式进行了定义,但纳入的研究使用了两个总体领域的概念化:表达情绪的调节和情绪调节策略的范围。本文将重点介绍有前途的方法和未来的方向。
