Positive Emotion Regulation Training in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults With and Without Developmental Disorder
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Positive Emotion Regulation Training for Neurodevelopmental Disorders. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a novel positive emotion regulation intervention that aims to increase positive emotions and improve emotion regulation skills in children, adolescents and young adults. The study focuses on individuals with a developmental disorder such as Autism Spectrum Disorder and other Learning or Developmental Disabilities in comparison to typically developing (TD) controls. Participants will complete a psycho-educative training to learn about positive emotions and how to increase them in their daily lives. Participants are expected to benefit from the training, which will be evident in a change in emotion experience, emotion regulation strategy use, and well-being. Emotion regulation efficacy will be related to symptom severity (autistic symptoms), alexithymia and problematic behaviors.
