Prediction versus explanation of preadolescents' psychopathology
BACKGROUND: Brain characteristics, environmental risks, and their interactions are believed to contribute to the development of psychopathology. However, it is unclear whether these factors differ in their utility for predictive versus explanatory goals; few predictive studies have combined and compared neuroimaging and environmental features, and Brain × Environment studies of explanatory processes have not adopted comprehensive, data-driven met…
The growing influence of the parental monitoring–peer affiliation pathway in early adolescence
4,747 at 4-year follow-up [ages 12-15 years]; 52% female and 52% non-Hispanic White at baseline), we examined whether peer affiliations mediate associations between parental monitoring and youth adjustment, and explored whether these pathways become more or less influential across early adolescence. Youth reported on parental monitoring, peer affiliations, prosocial behavior, psychopathology, and impulsivity. At both timepoints, greater parental …
Parent–child relationship quality buffers the association between mothers' adverse childhood experiences and physiological synchrony
BACKGROUND: Family environment plays a critical role in shaping stress response systems. Concordance between mothers' and children's physiological states, specifically their Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA), reflects dyadic co-regulation. Negative or weakened RSA synchrony during interactions is linked to various psychosocial risks, but existing research has focused on risks in the mother or child as opposed to the dyad. This study examined the…
Navigating Heterosexism
Sexual minority women (SMW) face elevated trauma and PTSD rates compared to heterosexual peers. This study tested whether specific dimensions of heterosexism contribute to PTSD severity among 514 trauma-exposed SMW (ages 18-25). Self-reported heterosexism was positively associated with PTSD symptoms (β = .33, p < .115). Findings highlight the central role of isolation in PTSD among SMW, underscoring the importance of targeted, affirming mental he…
Resilience factors counteract intergenerational risk for adolescent maladjustment related to family mental health history and childhood adversity
Intergenerational risk within families, stemming from familial history of mental health problems and encompassing exposure to childhood adversity, poses challenges to adolescent adjustment. However, it is important to recognize that negative developmental outcomes associated with intergenerational risk are not inevitable. To better understand resilience in this context, there is a need for studies that systematically compare different models of r…
Large‐scale proteomics in the first trimester of pregnancy predict psychopathology and temperament in preschool children
BACKGROUND: Understanding the prenatal origins of children's psychopathology is a fundamental goal in developmental and clinical science. Recent research suggests that inflammation during pregnancy can trigger a cascade of fetal programming changes that contribute to vulnerability for the emergence of psychopathology. Most studies, however, have focused on a handful of proinflammatory cytokines and have not explored a range of prenatal biological…
Parasympathetic regulation and support from family and friends predict prosocial development in U.S. Mexican-origin adolescents
Both parasympathetic nervous system regulation and receipt of social support from close relationships contribute to prosocial development, although few studies have examined their combined influences in adolescence and particularly within racially and ethnically minoritized populations. In this longitudinal study of 229 U.S. Mexican-origin adolescents (48% female-identifying), youths reported on receipt of social support from family and friends f…
Hippocampal volume indexes neurobiological sensitivity to the effect of pollution burden on telomere length in adolescents
Exposure to environmental pollutants has been associated with cellular aging in children and adolescents. Individuals may vary, however, in their sensitivity or vulnerability to the effects of environmental pollutants. Larger hippocampal volume has emerged as a potential index of increased sensitivity to social contexts. In exploratory analyses (N = 214), we extend work in this area by providing evidence that larger hippocampal volume in early ad…
Census tract ambient ozone predicts trajectories of depressive symptoms in adolescents
Exposure to ozone is a well-documented risk factor for negative physical health outcomes but has been considered less frequently in the context of socioemotional health. We examined whether levels of neighborhood ozone predicted trajectories of depressive symptoms over a four-year period in 213 adolescents (ages 9-13 years at baseline; 57% female; 53% of minority race/ethnicity). Participants self-reported depressive and other types of psychopath…
Young Children’s Prosocial Behavior Protects Against Academic Risk in Neighborhoods With Low Socioeconomic Status
Children raised in neighborhoods with low socioeconomic status (SES) are at risk for low academic achievement. Identifying factors that help children from disadvantaged neighborhoods thrive is critical for reducing inequalities. We investigated whether children’s prosocial behavior buffers concurrent and subsequent academic risk in disadvantaged neighborhoods in Bradford, UK. Diverse children (N = 1,175) were followed until age seven, with measur…
The development of frustration regulation over early childhood
Diverting attention away from negative emotional stimuli has been associated with calmer physiological states in the moment, but little is known about the potential long-term effects of this emotion regulation strategy on physiology. Similarly, how physiological states, in turn, may contribute to the development of regulatory behaviors has seldom been examined. The current study investigated the concurrent and prospective associations between chi…
Fine Particle Air Pollution and Physiological Reactivity to Social Stress in Adolescence
OBJECTIVE: Exposure to high levels of fine particle air pollution (PM2.5) is associated with adolescent pathophysiology. It is unclear, however, if PM2.5 is associated with physiology within psychosocial contexts, such as social stress, and whether some adolescents are particularly vulnerable to PM2.5-related adverse effects. This study examined the association between PM2.5 and autonomic reactivity to social stress in adolescents and tested whet…
On Measuring and Modeling Physiological Synchrony in Dyads
Physiological synchrony within a dyad, or the degree of temporal correspondence between two individuals' physiological systems, has become a focal area of psychological research. Multiple methods have been used for measuring and modeling physiological synchrony. Each method extracts and analyzes different types of physiological synchrony, where 'type' refers to a specific manner through which two different physiological signals may correlate. Yet…
Moderate baseline vagal tone predicts greater prosociality in children
Vagal tone is widely believed to be an important physiological aspect of emotion regulation and associated positive behaviors. However, there is inconsistent evidence for relations between children's baseline vagal tone and their helpful or prosocial responses to others (Hastings & Miller, 2014). Recent work in adults suggests a quadratic association (inverted U-shape curve) between baseline vagal tone and prosociality (Kogan et al., 2014). The p…
Compassionate love buffers stress-reactive mothers from fight-or-flight parenting
The links among mothers' compassionate love for their child, autonomic nervous system activity, and parenting behavior during less and more challenging mother-child interactions were examined. Mothers expressed and reported less negative affect when they exhibited autonomic patterns of increased parasympathetic dominance (high parasympathetic and low sympathetic activation) or autonomic coactivation (high parasympathetic and high sympathetic acti…
