- Development of a social emotional information processing assessment for adults (SEIP-Q)
Emil F. Coccaro, Jennifer Fanning, Royce Lee. Aggressive Behavior. January/February 2017;43(1):47–59 An expanded self-report, vignette-based, questionnaire was developed to assess five components in a social emotional information processing model (SEIP: attribution, emotional response, response valuation, outcome expectancy, response efficacy, and response enactment), first in a population-based sample (n = 250) and, second in healthy control participants (n = 50) and in those with DSM-5 Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED: n = 50).
- HbA1c levels as a function of emotional regulation and emotional intelligence in patients with type 2 diabetes
Emil F. Coccaro, Tina Drossos, Louis Phillipson. Primary Care Diabetes. October 2016;10(5):334–341 • Few studies have examined the relationship between emotional regulation and emotional intelligence and HbA1c serum levels in adult patients with T2 diabetes. • A positive relationship between emotional intensity, and an inverse relationship between emotional intelligence, and HbA1c serum levels was found. • Together, these aspects of emotional regulation and intelligence explain 12% of the variance in serum HbA1c levels above and beyond other factors typically studied. • Dimensions of emotional regulation and intelligence may represent new targets for intervention in patients with T2 diabetes.
- Relationships between perceived emotional intelligence, aggression, and impulsivity in a population-based adult sample
Emil F. Coccaro, Ciara Zagaja, Pan Chen, Kristen Jacobson. Psychiatry Research, 30 December 2016;246:255–260 • Emotional intelligence (EI), aggression and impulsivity were measured in a population-based sample. • EI correlated inversely with aggression and impulsivity. • Aggression and impulsivity correlated with repair of emotions and clarity of emotions, respectively. • Increasing emotional clarity/repair may help to attenuate impulsive aggressive behavior.
- Social cognition in Intermittent Explosive Disorder and aggression
Emil F. Coccaro, Jennifer R. Fanning, Sarah K. Keedy, Royce J. Lee. Journal of Psychiatric Research. December 2016;83:140–150 • Social-emotional information processing (SEIP) was studied in individuals with DSM-5 Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) and in controls. • IED subjects differed in all SEIP variables. In addition, negative emotional response and response efficiency predicted aggressive behavior. • Psychosocial interventions in IED should work to reduce cognitive anomalies and emotional response to social threat.
