BRAIN INJ , 2002, vol. 16, n° 4, p. 291-309 Doc n°: 104761 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : AD7 - CONSCIENCE - PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To examine a theoretical model which suggests that a contribution of both psychological and neuropsychological factors underlie deficits in self-awareness and self-regulation. RESEARCH DESIGN: Multivariate design including correlations and analysis of variance (ANOVA). METHODS: Sixty-one subjects with acquired brain injury (ABI) were administered standardized measures of self-awareness and self-regulation. Psychological factors included measures of coping-related denial, personality-related denial and personality change. Neuropsychological factors included an estimate of IQ and two measures of executive functioning that assess capacity for volition and purposive behaviour. MAIN OUTCOMES AND RESULTS: The findings indicated that the relative contribution of neuropsychological factors to an outcome of deficits in self-awareness and self-regulation had a more direct effect than psychological factors. In general, measures of executive functioning had a direct relationship, while measures of coping-related and personality-related denial had an indirect relationship with measures of self-awareness and self-regulation. CONCLUSION: The findings highlighted the importance of measuring both neuropsychological and psychological factors and demonstrated that the relative contribution of these variables varies according to different levels of self-awareness and self-regulation.
