Participants were 403 Black adolescents (ages 11-15, 54% female) who completed self-report surveys. Latent class analysis identified three depressive symptom classes: A Moderate Anhedonia/Mild Dysphoric Mood class endorsing moderate affective symptoms with lower cognitive and somatic symptoms; a High Cognitive-Affective-Somatic class endorsing high cognitive, affective, and somatic symptoms; and a Mild Somatic Complaints class with moderate endorsement of somatic symptoms and lower cognitive and affective symptoms. Girls were more likely to be in the High Cognitive-Affective-Somatic class and the Mild Somatic Complaints than the Moderate Anhedonia/Mild Dysphoric Mood class. Youth with fathers who had higher levels of schooling were more likely to be in the High Cognitive-Affective-Somatic class than both the Moderate Anhedonia/Mild Dysphoric Mood and Somatic Complaints classes. Additionally, youth with more community violence exposure were more likely to be in the High Cognitive-Affective-Somatic class than the Moderate Anhedonia/Mild Dysphoric Mood, whereas youth with lower levels of community violence exposure were more likely to be in the Mild Somatic Complaints class than both the Moderate Anhedonia/Mild Dysphoric Mood and High Cognitive-Affective-Somatic classes. Finally, youth with more peer and family support were more likely to be in the Mild Somatic Complaints class than the High Cognitive-Affective-Somatic class. These findings highlight the heterogeneity of depressive symptom expression among Black adolescents and the importance of sociocultural considerations in clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143754957","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}

We enrolled 814 children from a birth cohort, assessing temperament at 18 months using the Early Childhood Behavior Questionnaire, and ASD- and ADHD-trait scores at ages 8-9 using the Social Responsiveness Scale-2 and ADHD-Rating Scale. Group membership was determined by clinically significant symptoms, defined as + 1 SD after standardizing scores by age and sex. Multinomial regression analyses examined associations between temperament domain scores and group membership (ASD-dominant, ADHD-dominant, co-occurring, neither-ASD-nor-ADHD). The co-occurring group showed a unique temperament profile, with higher scores in both NA and EC (OR in NA = 1.48, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.11 to 1.96 and OR in EC = 1.61, 95% CI: 1.18 to 2.20), distinct from the patterns shown by the ASD-dominant and ADHD-dominant groups.

Parents completed internalizing and externalizing problem measures, children completed internalizing/externalizing problem and peer nomination measures and teacher reported study habits at two time points one year apart. The actor-partner analysis revealed that children's internalizing problems negatively predicted their friends' study habits one year later, and their externalizing problems negatively predicted their own and their friends' study habits one year later. However, only girls' study habits negatively and marginally predicted their friends' externalizing problems. The results suggest that instructions integrating study habits and behavioral problems among peers may be an important avenue for enhancing children's academic and social-emotion development in China, but these interventions should be distinct for boys and girls.","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143744261","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}

One factor that may contribute to disruptions in PA are individual differences in PA regulation, or the tendency to upregulate (\"enhance\") or downregulate (\"dampen\") positive emotions in response to pleasant events. 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; Mage[SD] = 12.72[.86]). Youth symptoms were assessed using self-report questionnaires at baseline and one year later. 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. Results also suggested that greater baseline depressive symptoms may predict prospective increases in dampening. Together, findings indicate that dampening is a common feature of varying internalizing symptoms during adolescence, and dampening and depressive symptoms may demonstrate relatively unique patterns of interrelation over time.","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143711532","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}

Fewer neighborhood resources were associated with more social communication difficulties at age 1, but only among dyads with impaired maternal bonding. Lower gestational age, lower household income, and impaired maternal bonding were associated with more child social communication difficulties at age 2. Fewer neighborhood resources were also related to more social communication difficulties at age 2, specifically among families with low household incomes.

Participants were 224 children aged 7-11 years old and their parent. Parents were required to either have a history of MDD or no lifetime history of any depressive disorder. To measure reward outcome processing, we focused on the reward positivity (RewP) event-related potential (ERP) elicited following gain and loss outcome feedback while children completed a monetary reward task. Census-derived measures of neighborhood disadvantage based upon families' addresses included the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), neighborhood crime risk, and the Child Opportunity Index (COI). The general pattern of findings across indices was that higher levels of neighborhood disadvantage were associated with more blunted neural reactivity to both gain and loss feedback, but only among children with a parental history of MDD and not among children of never depressed parents. These results suggest that broader contextual stressors may impact how youth process reward outcome feedback, especially youth already at heightened risk for depression, which may have implications for understanding risk for disorders associated with reward dysfunction.","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143693799","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}

Data were drawn from a multi-site cluster-randomized controlled trial focused on promoting therapist use of evidence-informed procedures to engage youth and families in urban and rural community mental health services. Audio recordings from 391 treatment sessions delivered by 92 therapists were transcribed and coded for missteps occurrences. Missteps were sporadic, but occurred in most sessions, frequently manifesting as advice giving, but taking a variety of other forms. Their occurrence appeared to be lower when supervision involved preparing a plan for engaging the client, when there was a single participant in the session, and when treatment sessions occurred soon after supervision. Engaging in preparatory activities in supervision and receiving timely supervision prior to treatment delivery may be more protective against therapist missteps than simply selecting a practice to deliver. Additionally, unique challenges of family sessions may increase the likelihood of missteps occurring, highlighting the importance of specialized training for conducting family sessions.","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143606671","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}

Further, individuals who are victims of youth PSBs also experience poor mental and physical health outcomes, resulting in a significant public health expenditure (Hailes et al., Long-term outcomes of childhood sexual abuse: An umbrella review). Researchers and policymakers alike have therefore placed considerable focus on efforts to develop effective evidence-based treatments for youth PSBs. To date, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for interventions targeting PSBs have yielded positive outcomes for both school-age children and adolescents. Despite this, untested practices or practices with limited empirical support (i.e., those unsupported by data from RCTs) predominate service delivery with this vulnerable clinical population. In the present article, we discuss treatment de-implementation models in the context of PSB treatment. Then, we cover two treatment modalities focused on youth illegal sexual behavior specifically and for each describe: (a) the clinical interventions, (b) the available research, and (c) whether they should be considered de-implementation.

The results showed that GASS had excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.96), and unidimensional factor structure (81.60% variance explained). Criterion validity was supported by significant correlations with the GAD-7 (r = 0.69), and measurement invariance was confirmed across gender and over time. Based on three waves of longitudinal data, Study 2 explored the mechanisms underlying the effects of school climate, stress mindset, and self-compassion on anxiety among secondary vocational students. The results indicated that stress mindset played a partial mediating role between school climate and anxiety. Furthermore, moderated mediation analysis revealed that self-compassion moderated the relationship between stress mindset and anxiety. These findings demonstrate the robust psychometric properties of the GASS as a screening tool for GAD and highlight the interplay between environmental factors, such as school climate, and individual differences, such as self-compassion, in shaping anxiety outcomes, offering valuable insights for both assessment and intervention strategies.","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143597892","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}
