Components of emotion regulation flexibility and psychosis: The association between psychosis-proneness and context sensitivity

CONCLUSIONS: Overall, our results suggest that emotional context insensitivity is the most relevant component of regulatory flexibility in the case of psychosis-proneness. Thus, the disruption in this first step of flexible emotion regulation might be already present in those prone to psychosis. Difficulties in decoding appropriately the contextual cues might further disrupt the other steps of emotion regulation contributing to the psychotic (-like) experiences. This study needs replication in clinical and non-clinical samples.PMID:36172993 | DOI:10.1111/bjc.12395
