Anhedonia also is recognized as a transdiagnostic symptom dimension, but its links to other symptom dimensions are not fully elucidated. Given the high rates of depression and anxiety comorbidity in adolescence, we assessed concurrent and longitudinal associations between anhedonia and anxiety symptoms in adolescents diagnosed with MDD. The sample consisted of 157 adolescents with MDD (M_age = 15.54, 71.34% female) who were followed for several years in a research context involving longitudinal observation and, for a portion of the sample, treatment. Participants regularly completed self-report measures of anhedonia and anxiety symptoms across time. Data were analyzed using multilevel modeling to examine within-person concurrent and temporally lagged effects. Findings indicated that anhedonia was concurrently associated with both social anxiety and generalized anxiety symptoms. Additionally, anhedonia predicted only social anxiety symptoms over time-such that anhedonia at the previous time point predicted subsequent social anxiety but not generalized anxiety. However, neither social anxiety nor generalized anxiety predicted anhedonia temporally. These results suggest that anhedonia may be one driver of comorbid social anxiety symptoms in adolescents with MDD. Putative mechanistic links warrant further investigation, including during transdiagnostic treatments for emotional disorders in adolescents. We highlight avenues for future research and intervention in adolescent MDD.</p>","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144972500","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}

A polygenic risk score for CUD (CUD PRS) was formed using the PRS-CSx Bayesian technique for genetically diverse samples. CUD symptoms were measured with the SCID-IV interview. Using negative binomial logistic regressions with maximum likelihood, parent cannabis use significantly predicted whether offspring used cannabis, while offspring CUD PRS did not. Further, parental positive behavior support significantly buffered the effect of parent cannabis use on the number of offspring CUD symptoms.

The present study sought to extend previous research by examining whether negative emotion reactivity and positive emotion reactivity were each uniquely associated with children's social impairments. These effects were examined in a sample of 9-13-year-olds (N = 186; 47% female) enriched for clinical elevations in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, a disorder associated with significant social impairments and emotion dysregulation. Children's negative and positive emotion reactivity were assessed using parent report, ADHD symptoms were assessed with a combined parent and teacher report, and social impairments (social acceptance, aggression, victimization, and prosocial behavior) were assessed using teacher report. Partial correlations indicated that positive emotion reactivity was uniquely associated with greater ADHD symptoms and social impairments even when accounting for overlapping variance with negative emotion reactivity. Additionally, regression analyses indicated that ADHD symptoms moderated the effect of positive emotion reactivity on physical aggression, physical victimization, and social acceptance, with children high in both positive emotion reactivity and ADHD symptoms being the most socially impaired. These results are the first to indicate that especially for youth with elevated ADHD symptoms, positive emotion reactivity may be uniquely associated with social impairment.

However, examining IU during childhood is clinically important, as it can shed light on the development of early-emerging psychopathologies. Valid and reliable tools assessing IU in children are therefore essential. This study aimed to investigate the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale-Parent (IUS-P), a questionnaire for parents to evaluate IU in their children. 796 Italian parents (88.4% mothers) of children aged 4-10 years (51.3% boys) were involved. Other-report tools assessing IU, psychopathological features, and executive functioning impairments (i.e., cognitive inflexibility, impulsivity, difficulties in planning/organization, and emotion dysregulation) were administered. To investigate the IUS-P factor structure, we compared a one-factor model, a two-factor model, and a bifactor model. Measurement invariance across sex and age groups (i.e., 4-6 vs. 7-8 vs. 9-10 years), reliability, and construct validity were evaluated. The bifactor model outperformed competing factor models. Bifactor model indices suggested using a total score instead of separate subscale scores. Measurement invariance by sex and age groups was fully supported. Additionally, the IUS-P total score exhibited excellent one-month test-retest reliability. The total score also showed positive associations with psychopathological features and executive functioning impairments. These findings highlight the IUS-P as a reliable tool to evaluate IU in Italian children. The relations of IU with psychopathological dimensions and difficulties in executive functioning underscore the transdiagnostic nature of IU during childhood. The practical implications of these results are discussed.</p>","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144785520","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 current study explored the temporal dynamics and directionality of the association between sleep disturbances and psychological symptoms, including depression, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm behaviors in a sample of preadolescents enriched for a history of early childhood mood disorders. Participants completed weekly electronic assessments for one year to examine week-by-week associations between sleep disturbances (i.e., trouble sleeping and fatigue) and depression, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm behaviors.

There was no evidence for the reverse association (i.e., depression severity or self-harm behaviors predicting subsequent sleep disturbances).

We found that lower peer preference in childhood (a) was associated with poorer global EF across development and (b) predicted significantly less improvement in response inhibition from childhood to adulthood. Childhood ADHD diagnostic status was also related to lower global EF and response inhibition across development, but unlike peer preference, ADHD was not predictive of differences in EF growth.

Thus, the present study aimed to examine (1) the bidirectional associations between physical activity and depressive and anxious symptoms during adolescence while controlling for screen time and sleep, (2) whether these associations are mediated by screen time and sleep, and (3) sex differences. The variables used were mostly self-reported by participants of the Québec Longitudinal Study of Child Development at ages 13, 15 and 17 (N = 1556).

Physical activity was also associated with less screen time in girls aged 13 to 15, and in everyone aged 15 to 17. No associations between physical activity and anxious symptoms were found significant. The sample is more representative of White Quebec adolescents from a higher socioeconomic status, from 2011 to 2015.
