The longitudinal relationship between economic and social stressors, emotion dysregulation and mental health among refugees in protracted displacement
The current study identified both economic stressors and emotion dysregulation as the main drivers of psychopathology for refugees. This indicates that both the structural barriers encountered in the environment and one's internal capacity have a substantial impact on wellbeing. These findings highlight that alongside psychological interventions, policy changes that facilitate economic empowerment are critically, and equally, important.
