The research concerns the collection of data by the Psychology Clinic PSYKE, which mainly takes place in connection with clinical client work. The research is part of the field of psychology and focuses on evaluating and developing methods of self-regulation, especially in the field of emotional regulation. The research also focuses on developing methods of assessing and supporting social functional capacity in the context of neuropsychological group, pair and individual rehabilitation in children and adolescents.
Background
PSYKE does neuropsychological rehabilitation work mainly as medical rehabilitation as a purchasing service. The majority of clients are school-age children with developmental neuropsychiatric difficulties, such as activity and attention disorder (ADHD) or autism spectrum disorder. In these symptoms, difficulties in attention, emotional regulation, and social difficulties are typical of difficulties that severely impair an individual's ability to function.
Goal
The research project evaluates and develops methods for assessing and supporting self-regulation (especially emotional regulation) and social functioning in the context of neuropsychological group, pair and individual rehabilitation in children and adolescents with developmental neuropsychiatry difficulties. Research data is collected as part of clinical client work. Participation in the data collection is voluntary for customers, and refusal to do so does not affect the customer's treatment. In addition, research subjects who have given their consent are invited to participate in separate research visits. The dataset contains diverse information about the subjects' cognitive skills (linguistic and non-linguistic skills, attention and ERP), social functioning (socio-emotional, socio-cognitive, social skills, self-concept and self-esteem), psychophysiology, and everyday functioning in different environments.
