A Latent Class Analysis of Emotional Approach Coping, Ambivalence Over Emotional Expressiveness and Differences in Psychological Adaptation
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the number of latent classes based on emotional processing, emotional expression, and ambivalence over emotional expressiveness. We also defined the characteristics of each latent class and examined the differences in psychological adaptation according to latent classes. A total of 223 university and graduate students participated in this study. Firstly, the study participants were classified by four latent classes: “average emotional approach coping group”, “active emotional approach coping group”, “passive emotional expression coping group”, and “avoidant emotional approach coping group”. Second, psychological adaptation was the best in the “active emotional approach coping group” with low level of depression and anxiety and high level of life satisfaction and psychological acceptance. The “avoidant emotional approach coping group” which had the lowest level of emotional processing and emotional expression level and the highest level of ambivalence over emotional expressiveness showed the most psychologically maladaptive condition. Conversely, in the case of the “passive emotional expressive coping group”, emotional processing was similar to the average level, but the ambivalence over emotional expressiveness was high and the level of emotional expression was low so that the degree of psychological maladjustment was at the level of the “avoidant emotional approach coping group”. The results of this study suggest that encouraging emotional approach coping in psychotherapeutic practices can contribute to improvement of the psychological adaptation level. Limitations, implications, and future directions of this study are discussed.
