Guided by differential susceptibility theory, this multi-method longitudinal study examined the role of temperamental sensitivity in shaping the relation between maltreatment and the development of child psychopathology over time. Participants included 316 maltreated and 269 non-maltreated children who attended a research summer camp and were followed over two measurement occasions spaced roughly one year apart (Wave 1: M_age = 9.35 years old; 47.1% girls, 66.7% Black, 21.1% White). Maltreatment status and timing were determined via examination of Department of Human Services records for the maltreated group. Camp counselors rated temperamental sensitivity at the first wave using the Temperamental Sensitivity Q-scale. Child internalizing and externalizing problems were rated by counselors at both measurement occasions. Findings indicated that maltreatment, whether measured broadly or by developmental timing (reflecting early onset and prolonged exposure), was linked to greater increases in externalizing problems over time. Greater temperamental sensitivity was associated with greater decreases in externalizing problems but greater increases in internalizing problems. The relation between childhood maltreatment and changes in internalizing problems was moderated by temperamental sensitivity. While children with high temperamental sensitivity showed higher increases in internalizing problems regardless of maltreatment experiences, children with lower temperamental sensitivity exhibited greater increases in internalizing problems only if exposed to childhood maltreatment. These findings highlight the role of temperamental sensitivity in high-risk contexts and provide a more nuanced understanding of the impact of childhood maltreatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143812683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample comprises 748 children and their mothers taking part in the prospective longitudinal community-based study Little in Norway. Utilizing latent change score modelling, we found that prenatal risk factors predicted an increase in dysregulation from 18 months to 3 years (β = 0.208, p <.001). This association was moderated by child sex, being stronger for boys (β = 0.229, p <.05) than for girls (β = 0.151, p <.05). A more fine-grained analysis of subscales showed that sensory sensitivity, eating problems and negative emotionality contributed to these effects, whereas sleeping problems were unrelated (p >.05).

This study employed a mixed-methods multi-study approach to document the rates, dynamics, and mental health impacts of racial discrimination in education experienced by Black youths aged 14 to 24. Quantitative data were collected from two large samples (N = 558 and N = 914) to measure racial discrimination in education, stress, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Additionally, qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with 32 youths provided deeper insights into their racial discrimination's experiences in educational settings. Over 40% of participants reported racial discrimination in education, which was significantly associated to elevated symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and PTSD. In both quantitative datasets, experience of racial discrimination in education moderated the association between resilience and internalized mental health problems (β = .53, p = .037, β = .34, p = .015, respectively). Racial discrimination in education lowers the protective role of resilience against internalized mental health problems. Thematic analysis of qualitative data uncovered key themes, including pervasive assumptions of low academic potential for Black students by authority figures, lack of appropriate intervention by educators and administrators when racial discrimination occurred, and ongoing enablement of a racist environment within schools. These findings underscore a critical need for systemic reform in Canadian schools and universities to prevent racism and address its mental health impacts. Implementing culturally responsive policies and antiracist interventions can foster safer, more inclusive educational environments, supporting well-being and academic success of Black Canadians youth.</p>","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143789275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, prospective associations between PA regulation and varying forms of internalizing are not well-understood, particularly during adolescence, a period during which risk for the onset these disorders rises. Thus, the present study evaluated bidirectional associations between daily-life PA regulation strategy use and symptoms of depression, social anxiety, and generalized anxiety in a sample of 151 early adolescents (52.0% girls; 48.0% boys; M_age[SD] = 12.72[.86]).

Daily-life enhancing and dampening were assessed 3-4 times per day for 9 days using experience sampling methods at baseline and 1-year (31 total assessments per time point). Results of multilevel correlation models demonstrated concurrent associations between dampening and symptoms of depression, social anxiety, and generalized anxiety. Multilevel structural equation models indicated that greater baseline dampening predicted increases in depressive symptoms across one year.
