Family dysfunction (FD) is consistently linked to adolescent mental health. Prior literature suggests that discrepancies in FD reports (e.g., caregivers vs. adolescents) could be a clinical indicator of adolescent mental health. However, there has been limited research examining multi-informant perspectives on FD within adolescent suicide literature, and no research has examined which contextual factors may be associated with discrepant reports of FD between adolescents at elevated suicide risk and their caregivers. This study addresses these gaps by examining FD among 116 caregiver-adolescent dyads (Mage = 15.29 (SDage =1.46); 65.5% female; 75.9% White) who sought emergency department (ED) services related to adolescent suicide risk. Cross-sectional findings revealed that caregiver-adolescent FD discrepancy was associated with greater adolescent self-rated suicide risk, depression, and anxiety. Similarly, adolescent-reported FD was associated with higher anxiety and depression, whereas caregiver-reported FD was not associated with adolescent mental health outcomes. Contextual factors such as lower caregiver stress, higher caregiver emotional support, and lower adolescent-perceived family relationship quality were associated with greater caregiver-adolescent FD discrepancies. It is possible that parents who receive additional emotional support and experience lower stress in their lives may perceive all areas of their lives, including their relationship with their teen, as improved – thereby amplifying discrepancies between parent and youth reports. Findings highlight the importance of understanding FD from multi-informant perspectives and suggest that improving family processes for adolescents at high-risk is an important treatment target.","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":"54 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147494566","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 sample of 843 students in Grade 4 and 7 (49.8% boys, Mage = 11.56) was asked to imagine having bullied a peer and being invited to a meeting with a teacher. They were then shown a video depicting what the teacher would tell them in the meeting. They were randomly assigned to three conditions with different teacher messages (bullying-condemning, empathy-raising or a combination of both) and asked to rate the extent to which they perceived the teacher had condemned the bullying, tried to raise their empathy for the victim, and blamed them as a person. Analyses conducted separately for the whole sample and a subsample of bullying perpetrators revealed that higher levels of CU traits were associated with lower intention to stop bullying and with perceiving more blaming, less bullying-condemning and less empathy-raising from the teacher. These perceptions predicted lower intention to stop and partially mediated the effects of CU traits on intention to stop in the whole sample. In the subsample of perpetrators, only the indirect effect via perceived empathy-raising was statistically significant. One reason why youth high in CU traits are more resistant to anti-bullying intervention may be their biased perceptions of the content of anti-bullying messages.","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":"54 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13005778/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147494575","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}

This article presents findings from the first known quantitative study on perceived antisemitism and mental health in Jewish women and their children. Specifically, we investigate the relationship between perceived discrimination and, primarily, externalizing, and, secondarily, internalizing symptoms mediated by both parental psychopathology and negative parenting behaviors. A total of 228 Jewish mothers (Mage = 36.79, SD = 5.18) residing in the United States participated in this study and answered questions about a single preschool-age child (2–5 years; Mage = 3.90, SD = 1.01, female = 113). We observed significant positive associations between maternal perceived antisemitism (MPA) and both maternal and child psychopathology. Using structural equation modeling, we established that maternal psychopathology significantly mediated the relationship between MPA and children’s total externalizing and internalizing symptoms but not callous-unemotional (CU) traits. Parenting behaviors were found to significantly mediate the relationship between MPA and CU traits. This study also included an initial evaluation of several novel assessments of perceived antisemitism. According to these assessments, more than 78% of participants reported having felt unsafe to be identifiably Jewish in public settings for fear of physical harassment, highlighting the pervasiveness of reported perceptions of antisemitic experiences. The findings underscore the need for further research on antisemitism and mental health outcomes in Jewish communities in the diaspora, particularly among children.","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":"54 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147475665","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}

This study mapped BV developmental trajectories, identified subgroups, examined co-developmental associations with FGIDs, and tested bidirectional relationships among Chinese adolescents. A three-wave longitudinal cohort of 5,344 adolescents in Yunnan Province was analyzed. BV was measured via the Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire, and FGIDs via Rome IV criteria. Latent growth curve modeling (LGCM) depicted BV trajectories; latent class growth analysis (LCGA) identified subgroups; parallel-process LGCM assessed co-development; and random-intercept cross-lagged panel models (RI-CLPM) evaluated bidirectional effects. BV exhibited a linear decline (intercept: 0.71, slope: -0.12, p < 0.001). LCGA identified four trajectories: declining (59.9%), high-stable (16.6%), rapidly increasing (6.5%), and gradually increasing (17.0%). Parallel-process LGCM revealed positive correlations between initial BV and FGID levels (β = 0.17, p < 0.001) and change rates (β = 0.24, p = 0.001). RI-CLPM showed a positive between-person correlation (r = 0.28, p < 0.001) and unidirectional within-person effect, with BV predicting FGIDs (β = 0.19, p = 0.015) but not vice versa (β = 0.02, p = 0.759).

Data on depression, peer preference, and social and school adjustment were obtained from multiple sources including self-reports, peer nominations, teacher ratings, and school records. Multilevel analysis revealed that depression was negatively associated with later social competence and academic achievement and positively associated with later behavioral problems in classrooms with lower CPASWD but the associations were nonsignificant or weaker in classrooms with higher CPASWD.

Using the 2019 and 2020 data waves of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (N = 1,196), this study firstly conducts a latent profile analysis to investigate heterogeneity of co-occurrence patterns. Next, this study utilizes a multinomial logistic regression model to investigate the impacts of food insecurity on the risk of different co-occurrence patterns. To address selection bias, generalized propensity score weighting is applied to ensure demographic characteristics are similar to each other across different food insecurity levels (i.e., non-significant difference). Results show that, compared to families living with low/very low food insecurity, families living with high food security experience lower risk of co-occurrence of parental psychological distress and child internalizing and externalizing problematic behaviors (relative risk ratio = 0.41, p < 0.05). For practical implications, these findings suggest that lower risk of the co-occurrence of psychological distress in parents as well as internalizing and externalizing behavioral difficulties in children are more likely to be observed among families living with high food security.","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":"54 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12992398/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147469521","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}

Guided by this framework, we examined how autism-related approach–withdrawal behaviors interrelate and connect to internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Using data from 280 autistic children aged 6 to 11 years enrolled in the Autism Biomarkers Consortium for Clinical Trials, we constructed a Gaussian graphical model of approach–withdrawal behaviors. Core behaviors were identified using expected influence centrality. Autism, when conceptualized as a system of interconnected approach–withdrawal behaviors, was positively associated with common co-occurring psychiatric conditions, with strongest associations observed for anxiety and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Affect regulation–related nodes were most relevant to internalizing symptoms, whereas arousal regulation and sensory nodes were uniquely related to externalizing symptoms.

Moderated associations emerged for conduct problems, such that solitary screen time exacerbated longitudinal associations from oral language problems to later adjustment difficulties.

Self-rated performance improved across sessions in both groups, but children with SAD consistently rated themselves more negatively than HC peers.

Latent class growth models identified four trajectories for girls: low stable (30.43%), low increasing (36.12%), high-increasing then plateauing (19.29%), and high decreasing (14.16%). Three trajectories emerged for boys: low stable (46.76%), moderate increasing (43.21%), and high-increasing then plateauing (10.03%). After adjusting for age and socioeconomic status, multinomial logistic regression analyses showed that higher self-esteem significantly distinguished the resilient low stable group from the low increasing and high decreasing trajectories for girls, as well as the high-increasing then plateauing trajectory for boys. Furthermore, perceived family and friend support were associated with a lower likelihood of the high-increasing then plateauing trajectory in girls. For boys, teacher support predicted a lower risk of the moderate increasing trajectory.
