Emotional regulation and distress during the social isolation of the COVID-19 in Brazil
| Resumo: | Abstract During COVID-19 Outbreak isolation measures were taken in most countries, although effective in combating the pandemic, were also associated with an increase in complaints related to psychological disorders, forming a symptomatological set called distress, characterized by increased indicators of depression, anxiety and stress. This study aimed to investigate indicators of distress, depression, anxiety and stress and their associations with demographic variables and with two indicators of emotional regulation: emotional suppression and cognitive restructuring. The sample was composed of 924 participants, both genders, between 18 and 72 years old (M = 36.8, SD = 11.70). Participants answered a Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale - Short Form; Emotional Regulation Questionnaire and Sociodemographic questionnaire. The present study identified three distinct subgroups of variable that must have some attention: age, gender, and race/ethnicity. Multinomial regression showed that women, younger people and people self-identified as black have the worst results in distress. Finally, the effects of emotional regulation were seen only in emotional suppression acting on stress and depression. |
