    Cultural Variability in the Manifestation of Expressed Emotion

    FAMILY PROCESS, Issue 2 2009
    STEVEN R. LÓPEZ PH.D.
    We examined the distribution of expressed emotion (EE) and its indices in a sample of 224 family caregivers of individuals with schizophrenia pooled from 5 studies, 3 reflecting a contemporary sample of Mexican Americans (MA 2000, N=126), 1 of an earlier study of Mexican Americans (MA 1980, N=44), and the other of an earlier study of Anglo Americans (AA, N=54). Chi-square and path analyses revealed no significant differences between the 2 MA samples in rates of high EE, critical comments, hostility, and emotional over-involvement (EOI). Only caregiver warmth differed for the 2 MA samples; MA 1980 had higher warmth than MA 2000. Significant differences were consistently found between the combined MA samples and the AA sample; AAs had higher rates of high EE, more critical comments, less warmth, less EOI, and a high EE profile comprised more of criticism/hostility. We also examined the relationship of proxy measures of acculturation among the MA 2000 sample. The findings support and extend Jenkins' earlier observations regarding the cultural variability of EE for Mexican Americans. Implications are discussed regarding the cross-cultural measurement of EE and the focus of family interventions. RESUMEN Examinamos la distribución de emoción expresada y sus índices en una muestra de 224 cuidadores parientes de personas con esquizofrenia tomadas de 5 estudios, tres que reflejaban una muestra contemporánea de personas méxico-estadounidenses (ME 2000, N=126), una de un estudio anterior de méxico-estadounidenses (ME 1980, N=44, Karno et al., 1987) y la otra de un estudio anterior de angloamericanos (AA, N=54, Vaughn et al., 1984). La distribución ji-cuadrado y los análisis de pautas no revelaron diferencias significativas entre las dos muestras de méxico-estadounidenses en cuanto a los índices de alta emoción expresada, comentarios críticos, hostilidad y sobreimplicación emocional. Solo la calidez de los cuidadores fue distinta en las dos muestras de méxico-estadounidenses; el grupo ME 1980 demostró mayor calidez que el grupo ME 2000. Se encontraron sistemáticamente diferencias considerables entre las dos muestras de méxico-estadounidenses y la muestra de angloamericanos; los angloamericanos demostraron índices más altos de alta emoción expresada, más comentarios críticos, menos calidez, menos sobreimplicación emocional y un perfil de alta emoción expresada compuesto mayormente por crítica y hostilidad. También examinamos la relación de los cálculos aproximados de aculturación entre la muestra ME 2000. Los resultados respaldan y amplían las observaciones anteriores de Jenkins (1991) con respecto a la variabilidad cultural de emoción expresada en los méxico-estadounidenses. Se comentan las implicaciones con respecto a la evaluación intercultural de emoción expresada y al enfoque de las intervenciones familiares.

    Assessing expressed emotion: comparing Camberwell Family Interview and Five-minute Speech Sample ratings for mothers of children with behaviour problems

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF METHODS IN PSYCHIATRIC RESEARCH, Issue 3 2006

    Abstract Little is known of the concordance between ratings of expressed emotion (EE) derived from the Camberwell Family Interview (CFI) and Five-minute Speech Sample (FMSS) for parents of children with behaviour problems. Concordance between CFI and FMSS ratings of EE was assessed prior to intervention and compared to parent-rated behaviour after intervention, at follow-up, 12 months later. Female primary caretakers of 75 children (3,10 years) showing behavioural difficulties were interviewed using FMSS and CFI. Interviews were coded independently by criterion-standard raters. Using CFI, 57 families were classified high EE, and 18 low EE. Using FMSS, 65 families were classified high EE and 10 low EE. 55/75 pairs of ratings (73%) were the same (high, n = 51: low, n = 4) and 20 mothers (27%) were allocated different EE status (Kappa = 0.14, n.s.). The FMSS ratings at initial interview appeared more closely related to behaviour rating at follow-up than CFI. Further investigation is required to establish comparability of CFI and FMSS results for carers of children. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]

    Mothers' expressed emotion towards children with and without intellectual disabilities

    JOURNAL OF INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY RESEARCH, Issue 7 2004
    A. Beck
    Objectives To identify factors associated with maternal expressed emotion (EE) towards their child with intellectual disability (ID). Design and method A total of 33 mothers who had a child with ID and at least one child without disabilities between the ages of 4 and 14 years participated in the study. Mothers completed self-assessment questionnaires which addressed their sense of parenting competence, beliefs about child-rearing practices, and their reports of behavioural and emotional problems of their child with ID. Telephone interviews were conducted to assess maternal EE towards the child with ID and towards a sibling using the Five Minute Speech Sample (FMSS; Magana et al. 1986), and also to assess the adaptive behaviour of the child with ID using the Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scale (VABS; Sparrow et al. 1984). Results Mothers with high EE towards their child with ID were more satisfied with their parenting ability, and their children had more behaviour problems. Analysis of differential maternal parenting, through comparisons of EE towards their two children, showed that mothers were more negative towards their child with ID for all domains of the FMSS except dissatisfaction. Conclusions A small number of factors associated with maternal EE towards children with ID were identified. Differences in maternal EE towards their child with ID and their other child suggest that EE is child-driven rather than a general maternal characteristic. Implications of the data for future research are discussed. [source]

    Diastereoselective Alkylation of (Arene)tricarbonylchromium and Ferrocene Complexes Using a Chiral, C2 -Symmetrical 1,2-Diamine as Auxiliary

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 7 2005

    Abstract The aminal of (benzaldehyde)tricarbonylchromium and en-antiopure bipyrrolidine undergoes diastereoselective ortho -metallation with butyllithium. Quenching with various electrophiles, followed by hydrolysis of the aminal, affords ortho -substituted (benzaldehyde)tricarbonylchromium compounds with high ee (91,99,%). When quenched with Ph2PCl, a new chiral P,N-bidentate ligand is obtained, which shows efficiency in Pd- and Cu-catalysed reactions. The aminal of ferrocenecarbaldehyde could also be formed, but the ortho -deprotonation occurs with only moderate diastereoselectivity (70,%). (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

    Abstract Here, we describe the successful application of novel glucofuranose-derived 1,3-diphosphites in the rhodium-catalysed asymmetric hydroformylation of vinyl acetate, 2,5-dihydrofuran and 2,3-dihydrofuran. In the hydroformylation of vinyl acetate, total regioselectivity and high ee (up to 73%) were obtained. When 2,3- and 2,5-dihydrofuran were the substrates, total chemo- and regioselectivities were achieved together with ees up to 88%. These results correspond to the highest ee values reported to date in the asymmetric hydroformylation of these substrates. The HP-NMR studies of the [RhH(CO)2(L)] species (L=15 and 17) demonstrated that both ligands coordinate to the Rh centre in an eq-eq fashion. The complex [RhH(CO)2(15)] was detected as a single isomer with characteristic features of eq-eq coordination. However, the broadening of the corresponding signals indicated that this species is rapidly interchanging in solution. In contrast, complex [RhH(CO)2(17)] was detected as a mixture of two conformational isomers at low temperature due to the greater flexibility of the monocyclic backbone of this ligand. [source]

    A catalytic route to acyclic chiral building blocks: Applications of the catalytic asymmetric conjugate addition of organozinc reagents to cyclic enones

    ISRAEL JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY, Issue 4 2001
    Richard B. C. Jagt
    Through the Cu-phosphoramidite-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition a number of chiral cyclic enones are available with high ee. Here we report the sequential conjugate addition to these enones as a route towards multisubstituted chiral cyclic ketones. A subsequent Baeyer,Villiger oxidation followed by ring-opening results in various linear synthons containing multiple stereocenters. This procedure represents a short, catalytic, and highly enantioselective route to a variety of acyclic chiral building blocks. [source]

    Asymmetric 1,4-Addition of Organoboron Reagents to Quinone Monoketals Catalyzed by a Chiral Diene/Rhodium Complex: A New Synthetic Route to Enantioenriched 2-Aryltetralones

    Abstract A novel synthetic approach to 2-aryltetralones with high ee has been developed through asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to naphthoquinone monoketals catalyzed by a rhodium complex with the (R,R)-Ph-bod* ligand. The asymmetric addition proceeded in high yields with excellent enantioselectivity. [source]
