AI Article Synopsis
- The study examines the relationship between emotional outbursts and emotion dysregulation, highlighting the need to consider cultural differences, especially regarding how emotions are managed in various societies.
- Researchers collected responses from 327 Brazilian caregivers of young people with autism spectrum disorder, Down's syndrome, or intellectual disabilities using the Emotional Outburst Questionnaire.
- The analysis revealed that the underlying structure of emotional responses was consistent across both Brazilian Portuguese and English versions, and three main clusters emerged from the Brazilian data that aligned closely with those identified in the English sample.
Article Abstract
The causal relationship between emotional outbursts and emotion dysregulation is proposed to be heterogeneous, but cultural influences have not been considered despite established cultural differences in emotional processes (e.g., increased motivation to suppress emotions in interdependent cultures). Responses to the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Emotional Outburst Questionnaire were collected from 327 caregivers of young people (6-25 years) with autism spectrum disorder, Down's syndrome, or intellectual disability. Responses were compared to a previous sample of 268 responses from the English version of the questionnaire. The latent factor structure of the contextual items was measurement invariant across both versions. The Brazilian responses were classified into three distinct clusters (Sensory Sensitivity; Perceived Safety; Perceived Unsafety) which considerably overlapped with the English clusters.

Reactive, Proactive, Relational, and Slow Dissipation of Aggression in Children.
JAACAP Open
June 2024
Penn State College of Medicine, Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Objective: This study investigated the associations between aggression subtypes (reactive, proactive, relational, and slow dissipation of aggression), callous-unemotional traits (CU), irritability (IRR), and sex among children.
Method: The sample included 508 children 5 to 12 years of age, rated by their mothers.
Results: A 4-factor model of aggression subtypes (reactive, proactive, relational, slow dissipation) provided a good fit to the data.
Understanding Emotional Outbursts: A Cross-Cultural Study in Latin American Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Brain Sci
October 2024
Developmental Sciences Graduate Program, Center for Research on Childhood and Adolescence, Mackenzie Presbyterian University, São Paulo 01302-907, SP, Brazil.
Objectives: One of the behavioral problems strongly associated with emotional dysregulation (ED) in ASD is emotional outbursts (EOs) characterized by a pattern of challenging behavior that varies across individuals and across time. Cultural factors can modulate the expression of EOs. This study aimed to characterize the profile of emotional outbursts (EOs) in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) across various countries in Latin America and to identify clinical, emotional, and contextual factors that contribute to the onset and frequency of EOs within this diverse sample.

Res Dev Disabil
November 2024
University of Cologne, Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital Cologne, Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy, Cologne, Germany. Electronic address:
Background: Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder marked by disruptions in circadian rhythms and autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity, hyperphagia, and episodes of emotional outbursts. Previous trials suggest that both invasive and non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) can reduce emotional outbursts in PWS, potentially through its effects on vagal activity.
Aim: This case series investigated the effects of transcutaneous auricular VNS (taVNS) on cardiac markers of circadian vagal activity, specifically heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate (HR), and their potential links to improvements in emotional outbursts.
Objective: Evaluate the cognitive, behavioural and affective processes involved in therapeutic change for young people with epilepsy and mental health difficulties receiving an integrated mental health intervention.
Methods: As part of a mixed methods convergent design, qualitative data were gathered in parallel to quantitative data at two timepoints in a randomised controlled trial testing the Mental Health Intervention for Children with Epilepsy in addition to usual care. Twenty-five young people and/or their families were interviewed before and after the intervention about the young person's mental and physical health, and their experience of therapy.
Early-Childhood Tablet Use and Outbursts of Anger.
JAMA Pediatr
October 2024
Department of Psychoeducation, Université de Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada.
Importance: Tablet use continues to increase in preschool-aged children. The use of mobile devices has been linked to child emotional dysregulation. However, few studies have been able to show a clear direction of association between child tablet use and the development of self-regulation skills.
