Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The study aims to examine the relative contribution of the relevant intra- and interpersonal aspects of emotion regulation (e.g. emotion awareness, coping, expression of emotions, emotion communication, empathy, frustration tolerance) to the prediction of symptoms of internalising and externalising disorders in high-functioning (IQ > 80) hearing impaired children in the age group between 9 and 15 years old. It is important to consider the developmental pathways of the hearing impaired group in order to establish in detail how hearing impaired children*s emotion regulation capacities are different or are delayed. The study focuses on 9 to 15-year-old children, because a major advance in the development of emotion regulation can be expected around this time, due to the fact the influence of cognitive control increases with age, and at around the age of 9, children become able to reflect upon their own behaviour and emotions (Harris, 1989). This conscious experience of emotions is commonly accepted as a prerequisite for adaptive emotion regulation (Lambie & Marcel, 2002).
