351 - Week 11 Lec 1

Front 1

what is socioemotional flexibility:

Back 1

the range of emotions that you can experience

the ability to transition between emotions

Front 2

what is the main idea of the flex 3 model:

Back 2

that you can have socioemotional flexibility at different time scales

Front 3

what are these time scales:

Back 3

dynamic flexibility (seconds)

reactive flexibility (minutes)

trait and developmental flexibility (years)

Front 4

what is dynamic flexibility:

Back 4

all of the other the tiny emotional adjustments that you make in one specific emotional context

real time micro adjustments

transitions from state to state

Front 5

what is reactive flexibility:

Back 5

the change in emotions over the course of the day

how you react to changing situations, it changes the strain on you and your goals, do you change your emotion?

flexibility: the change in emotions that match the context that you are in

Front 6

when does flexibility reduce

Back 6

when you are experiencing negative emotions

Front 7

people tend to show what in a positive state:

Back 7

more emotions, and more transition between emotions

Front 8

trait and developmental flexibility:

Back 8

people differ in their emotional flexibility overall

and there can be changes in emotional flexibility over time

ex: adolescence

Front 9

how can you measure dynamic flexibility?

Back 9

with state space grids

Front 10

what does a flexible dyad look like on a state space gride:

Back 10

lower mean durations - the cells are smaller

more transitions

more cells

Front 11

what does a rigid dyad look like on a state space grid:

Back 11

less cells, less transitions,

the cells are larger - on that emotion for a longer mean time

Front 12

what is characteristic of people with externalizing problem:

Back 12

they show more rigidity in their emotional structure

and assessing how rigid someone's emotional structure was at one time point (dynamic flexibility) was able to predict who would have externalizing problems in the future

i think

Front 13

being high on rigidity also leads to:

Back 13

high internalizing problems

Front 14

what is reactive flexibility?

Back 14

how you respond to changes in your emotional context

Front 15

what happens when there is a change in emotional context:

Back 15

there is a change in goals, and demands

Front 16

what indicates reactive flexibility when the emotional context changes:

Back 16

if the response changes

Front 17

what indicates not reactive flexibiliity (being rigid) when the emotional context changes:

Back 17

in the response does not change

Front 18

how can you assess someone's reactive flexibility?

Back 18

with A-B-A designs

(positive discussion - conflict - positive discussion)

Front 19

the ABA design data can be plotted on a

Back 19

state space grid

Front 20

describe the results of the study that looked at reactive flexibility and stress experienced:

Back 20

both groups experienced more negative emotions in the conflict discussion than in the other discussion

the group that experienced more stress showed less negative emotion overall, compared to the group that was less stressed (which indicates that not expressing negative emotions is maladaptive cuz it makes you stressed)

they also found that

both groups showed less flexibility in the conflict discussion compared to the positive discussion

but that the high stress group showed less flexibility in the positive discussion than the low stress group

Front 21

describe the study that used the ABABA design to look at reactive flexibility in specific contexts

between mother and daughter

Back 21

mm

Front 22

what were the 3 types of groups that they found:

Back 22

high flexibility group

average flexibility group

low flexibility group

Front 23

what was the high flexibility group associated with

Back 23

it wasnt related to mother or daughter internalizing symtpoms

Front 24

what was the average flexibility group associated with

Back 24

it was associated with lower maternal depressive symptoms, and higher mother daughter relationship quality

Front 25

what was the low flexibility group associated with:

Back 25

it was associated with higher maternal depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms and social anxiety symptoms and lower mother daughter relatioship quality

Front 26

summary:

Back 26

socioemotional flexibility at different time scales is an important aspect of caregiver child emotion regulation related to psychosocial adjustment
