表达的情绪(EE)是衡量关键亲属对患有疾病或疾病的亲属表达的批评和情绪过度参与的程度。研究证实，与低EE环境相比，生活在高EE环境中，与低EE环境相比，生活在高EE环境中会导致精神疾病患者更差的预后。尽管有证据表明EE是疾病进程的有力预测因素，但仍然存在疑问，即为什么一些家庭成员对他们患有精神疾病的亲属表现出过高的EE态度，而另一些人则不是。基于先前研究的间接证据，目前的研究检验了宗教和非宗教应对方式是否可以预测EE。72名精神分裂症患者家属的样本完成了EE访谈，以及评估情境性非宗教应对和宗教应对的问卷。与假设一致的结果表明，非宗教应对可以预测EE。具体地说，较少使用适应性情绪应对预示着较高的EE。与预测一致的是，适应不良的宗教应对预测了比非宗教应对更高的EE。
Expressed emotion (EE) is a measure of the amount of criticism and emotional over involvement expressed by a key relative towards a relative with a disorder or illness. Research has established that living in a high EE environment, which is characterised by increased levels of critical and emotionally exaggerated communication, leads to a poorer prognosis for patients with a mental illness when compared to low EE environments. Despite evidence that EE is a strong predictor of the course of the illness, there continue to be questions concerning why some family members express excessive levels of high EE attitudes about their mentally ill relatives while others do not. Based on indirect evidence from previous research, the current study tested whether religious and nonreligious coping serve as predictors of EE. A sample of 72 family members of patients with schizophrenia completed an EE interview, along with questionnaires assessing situational nonreligious coping and religious coping. In line with the hypotheses, results indicated that nonreligious coping predicted EE. Specifically, less use of adaptive emotion-focused coping predicted high EE. Also consistent with predictions, maladaptive religious coping predicted high EE above and beyond nonreligious coping.
