Poor sleep quality has been tied to worse social functioning outcomes, including greater loneliness, fewer social interactions, and lower social integration. Other factors likely play a role in the relationship between sleep quality and social functioning. Specifically, alexithymia and emotion regulation may serve as moderators in these relationships. Data for this study came from the Pittsburgh Cold Study 3, a publicly available dataset ( = 213). Participants completed self-report measures including the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire, Toronto Alexithymia Scale, and four measures of social functioning: Social Network Index, Social Participation Measure, Short Loneliness Scale, and Interpersonal Support Evaluation List for providing support to others. Sleep quality was significantly related to the social functioning variables. Further, the use of the emotion regulation strategy reappraisal significantly moderated the relationship between sleep quality and social participation. Worse sleep quality was related to lower engagement in social activities, only for participants high in use of reappraisal. Additionally, the use of reappraisal significantly moderated the relationship between sleep quality and giving of support. Worse sleep quality was related to less self-reported giving of support to others only for participants high in the use of reappraisal. Results suggest that the use of reappraisal may be an important factor to consider in the relationship between sleep and social functioning. Future work should extend these findings to the general population and a sample of individuals with relevant diagnoses, such as borderline personality or schizophrenia-spectrum disorders.
睡眠质量差与更糟糕的社会功能结果相关，包括更强烈的孤独感、更少的社交互动以及更低的社会融入度。其他因素可能在睡眠质量与社会功能之间的关系中发挥作用。具体而言，述情障碍和情绪调节可能在这些关系中起到调节作用。本研究的数据来自匹兹堡感冒研究3，这是一个公开可用的数据集（n = 213）。参与者完成了自我报告测量，包括匹兹堡睡眠质量指数、情绪调节问卷、多伦多述情障碍量表以及四项社会功能测量：社交网络指数、社会参与测量、简短孤独量表以及为他人提供支持的人际支持评价清单。睡眠质量与社会功能变量显著相关。此外，情绪调节策略重新评价的使用显著调节了睡眠质量与社会参与之间的关系。睡眠质量较差仅与重新评价使用频率高的参与者社交活动参与度较低有关。此外，重新评价的使用显著调节了睡眠质量与给予支持之间的关系。睡眠质量较差仅与重新评价使用频率高的参与者自我报告的对他人支持较少有关。结果表明，重新评价的使用可能是睡眠与社会功能关系中需要考虑的一个重要因素。未来的研究应将这些发现扩展到普通人群以及有相关诊断的个体样本，如边缘性人格障碍或精神分裂症谱系障碍患者。
