Личностна оценка на емоционални функции и регулaции: значението на три функционални сценария за личното благополучие
Personality assessment of emotional functions and regulations – the significance of three functional scenarios about the subjective well-being

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the results of an extensive study on "Potential for well-being" conducted with different quotas and cohorts with and without psychiatric diagnosis. The aim of the pilot study is both to validate questionnaires and scales for Bulgarian conditions through a multi-method approach to self-assessment in the field of positive psychology, and to analyze some of the data for the presence of patterns of functions and dysfunctions important for mental health. The indices measuring "quick and easy recovery from stress", "subjective satisfaction", "emotional expressiveness", "contradictory expression of emotions", "approaches to emotion regulation" reliably and validly reflect simple and complex functions in the emotional domain. It is found that these indices obey a bipartite logic: some aspects are evidence of patterns of interaction that orient negative tendencies, while others reflect positive transformation of primary functions that help to overcome difficulties and the way they turn into emotional advantage. Three scenarios are demonstrated with mediating relationships that can be used to predict the approaches to intervention and the effect of deterioration or improvement in the context of interpreting an individual case study.
