ABSTRACT
The aim of the current study was to replicate findings from prior work among adults showing that individuals with better interoceptive skills have more emotional awareness, and show better emotion regulation abilities, in a sample of adolescents and by relying on instructions that reduce the contamination of known confound variables. A total of 102 Belgian adolescents (Mage = 14.10 years, SDage = .63; 50 males) completed self-report questionnaires of emotional processes (FEEL-KJ and DERS) and the modified heartbeat counting task. From this task, interoceptive accuracy, interoceptive sensibility (confidence ratings), and interoceptive awareness scores (within-person correlations) were derived per participant. Results revealed no associations between the three dimensions of interoception and adolescents’ levels of emotional awareness, adaptive, and maladaptive emotion regulation. The lack of associations which contrast some prior work with adults may be due to developmental differences. However, these might also support the low validity of the heartbeat counting task, or could be attributed to the measurement of the emotion measures (i.e., self-report). Future studies should, nevertheless, also test whether these non-significant results can be explained by the developmental differences in adolescents. Longitudinal research is needed to capture interoceptive changes during adolescence, as well as to replicate the current findings using rigorous multimethod approaches that increase the validity of interoception measurement.
