睡眠不佳在我们的社会中很常见，特别是对非洲裔美国人来说，并且与不良的精神和身体健康结果有关。不想要的，侵入性的想法会导致睡眠障碍，并且可能是生活在压力大的城市环境中造成的，这些城市环境中居住的非裔美国人不成比例。其他人群的研究表明，认知应对策略，以管理侵入性的想法，在他们的adaptives.Objectiveinvestigationbetweenthoughtcontrol策略和失眠的严重程度之间的关系，在城市居住的非裔美国人。结果攻击性抑制、焦虑、行为分心和社交回避与ISI评分呈中度至强正相关。睡眠不好的人比睡眠好的人更多地使用担心和攻击性抑制。多元线性回归分析的结果显示，积极的抑制，社会回避，和行为分心显着预测失眠的严重程度，积极的抑制是最强的预测model.ConclusionsThese结果扩展的结果积极的抑制相关的失眠严重程度的城市居住的年轻成年非洲裔美国人样本。未来的研究应确定自适应的方法和修改适应不良的策略的效用。
IntroductionPoor sleep is common in our society, particularly for African Americans, and is associated with adverse mental and physical health outcomes. Unwanted, intrusive thoughts contribute to sleep disturbances and can be engendered by living in stressful urban environments, which are disproportionately inhabited by African Americans. Studies of other populations have shown that cognitive coping strategies to manage intrusive thoughts vary in their adaptiveness.ObjectiveTo examine the relationship between thought control strategies and insomnia severity in urban residing young-adult African Americans.MethodSixty-four young adult African Americans completed a demographic questionnaire, the Thought Control Questionnaire for Insomnia-revised, and the Insomnia Severity Index.ResultsThere were moderate to strong positive correlations of aggressive suppression, worry, behavioral distraction, and social avoidance with ISI scores. Poor sleepers endorsed greater use of worry and aggressive suppression than good sleepers. Results from a multiple linear regression analysis revealed that aggressive suppression, social avoidance, and behavioral distraction significantly predicted insomnia severity, and aggressive suppression was the strongest predictor in the model.ConclusionsThese results extend findings of aggressive suppression as a correlate of insomnia severity to an urban-residing young adult African American sample. Future research should identify adaptive approaches and the utility of modifying maladaptive strategies.
