In some studies rationality, anti-emotionality and the control of (negative) emotions were found to be psychological risk factors for cancer. In the present study instruments were developed in order to cross-validate the role of the 'rationality/anti-emotionality (RAE)'-concept and the 'emotional expression and control (EEC)'-concept. The psychometric characteristics of a RAE-scale and EEC-scales were investigated in 4302 healthy women attending a breast cancer screening programme in The Netherlands. Principal components analysis revealed three factors for the RAE-scale: (1) Rationality; (2) Emotionality; and (3) Understanding. The EEC-scales consist of three factors that indicate: (1) expression of emotions to oneself; (2) expression of emotions towards others; and (3) control of emotions. These RAE and EEC scales can be of importance in psycho-oncological research, especially when: (1) the more refined subscales are used; and (2) age of the subjects is taken into account.
在一些研究中,理性、反情绪化以及(负面)情绪的控制被发现是癌症的心理风险因素。在本研究中,开发了相关工具,以交叉验证“理性/反情绪化(RAE)”概念和“情绪表达与控制(EEC)”概念的作用。在荷兰参加乳腺癌筛查项目的4302名健康女性中,对RAE量表和EEC量表的心理测量特征进行了调查。主成分分析揭示了RAE量表的三个因素:(1)理性;(2)情绪化;(3)理解。EEC量表由三个因素组成,分别表明:(1)对自己表达情绪;(2)对他人表达情绪;(3)情绪控制。这些RAE和EEC量表在心理肿瘤学研究中可能具有重要意义,尤其是当:(1)使用更精细的子量表时;(2)考虑到受试者的年龄时。
