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; M_age[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.</p>","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":"937-950"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","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}

There is limited work dedicated to uncovering neural measures of this early childhood disorder which could be leveraged to further understand both treatment responsiveness and future depression risk. Event-related potentials (ERPs) such as the P300 have been employed extensively in adult populations to examine depression-related deficits in cognitive and motivational systems. Few studies examine the prospective relationships between depression and P300, especially in young children. Moreover, limited research examines the relationship between P300 with psychotherapy treatment responsiveness in youths. The current study sought to examine the prospective relationships between pre-intervention P300 (i.e., choice-locked) elicited from the doors task in depressed preschool children (i.e., PO-MDD; ages 3-to-6) with reductions in depressive symptoms after completing an 18-week long dyadic psychotherapy intervention (n = 59). We also explored relations to risk for depression assessed at a follow-up visit during preadolescence (ages 8-to-12; n = 82). Those with PO-MDD exhibiting reduced choice (doors)-locked P300 demonstrated worse treatment response to psychotherapy and were more likely to meet criteria for depression during preadolescence. Moreover, the relationship between pre-intervention P300 and later preadolescence depression was significantly mediated by response to treatment. These findings suggest that deficits in brain systems linked to the choice-locked P300 component (i.e., cognitive and motivational) might be indicative of non-responsiveness to early dyadic psychotherapeutic intervention efforts for depression which impacts risk for recurrent patterns of depression in youths.</p>","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":"877-890"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12137013/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143042208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this meta-analysis was to summarize the current research on correlates of PSB, specifically child demographic factors (i.e., gender, age), maltreatment history (i.e., childhood sexual abuse [CSA], childhood physical abuse [CPA]), and comorbid clinical symptoms (i.e., externalizing and internalizing problems). A total of 47 samples (n = 15,562 children) were included. Males and younger children were slightly more likely to exhibit PSB (g = .12 and -.21, respectively). CSA was associated with PSB (g = .71); however, the strength of this relationship differed by caregiver gender and publication year. CPA was also related to PSB (g = .32), but was more strongly associated when PSB was limited to the interpersonally intrusive subtype of PSB (g = .46). Externalizing (g = .95) and internalizing (g = .63) symptoms were also linked with PSB, with externalizing difficulties evincing the strongest association of all of the correlates. These results are discussed in the context of advancing research on PSB, specifically addressing several limitations in the current literature. These include inconsistent assessment of PSB and CSA, as well as the pressing need to develop a more robust measure of PSB.
