Особенности эмоциональной регуляции у женщин с травматическим опытом сексуального насилия

Annotation

This article presents the results of an empirical study of emotional regulation characteristics in women with traumatic experiences of sexual violence. The results show that the sample is dominated by a strategy of suppressing emotional expression with relatively low cognitive reappraisal. Stable associations were found between emotion suppression, avoidance coping strategies, primitive defense mechanisms, and automatic negative thoughts. Two clinically significant subgroups were identified, differing in their emotional regulation profiles. The data obtained can be used in the development of differentiated psychotherapeutic programs for women with traumatic experiences of sexual violence.

Keywords
