Factor Structure and Psychometric Evaluation of the Parent–Child Sleep Interactions Scale (PSIS) Among Children Adopted From Foster Care
Sleep loss and emotion: A systematic review and meta-analysis of over 50 years of experimental research
The 4C model of healthy sleep for childhood interpersonal trauma
Objective and subjective sleep patterns and biomarkers of stress among women with a history of sexual abuse in childhood
Findings suggest that targeting maladaptive cognitions (e.g., worries, rumination) that occur during the presleep period may be a potential intervention target in mitigating sleep disturbance and PTSSs in this population. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
Sleep Disturbances and Delayed Sleep Timing are Associated with Greater Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms in Youth Following Hurricane Harvey
Validation of the Mental Health Checklist (MHCL) during Covid‐19 lockdown
The COVID‐19 pandemic resulted in unprecedented disruption to everyday life, including widespread social distancing and self‐quarantining aimed at reducing the virus spread. The Mental Health Checklist (MHCL) is a measure developed to assess psychological health during extended periods of isolation and confinement, and has shown strong psychometric properties in community samples and during Antarctic missions. This study validated the MHCL in a s…
Sleep Duration Buffers The Effects of Adversity on Mental Health Among Recently Immigrated Latinx Adolescents
Can Sleep Facilitate Adaptation for Immigrant High Schoolers? Longitudinal Relations Between Sleep Duration, Acculturative Stress, and Acculturation
Sleep restriction alters children’s positive emotional responses, but effects are moderated by anxiety
BACKGROUND: An abundance of cross-sectional research links inadequate sleep with poor emotional health, but experimental studies in children are rare. Further, the impact of sleep loss is not uniform across individuals and pre-existing anxiety might potentiate the effects of poor sleep on children's emotional functioning. METHODS: A sample of 53 children (7-11 years, M = 9.0; 56% female) completed multimodal, assessments in the laboratory when re…
Foster agency workers’ perceptions of sleep health among children in foster care
Sleep and emotion regulation: An organizing, integrative review
Parental Involvement in Infant Sleep Routines Predicts Differential Sleep Patterns in Children With and Without Anxiety Disorders
Children with Generalized Anxiety Disorder Do Not Have Peer Problems, Just Fewer Friends
Pre-Sleep Arousal and Sleep Problems of Anxiety-Disordered Youth
Somatic Symptoms and Anxiety Among African American Adolescents
Somatic symptoms are an associated feature of anxiety disorders that have received little research attention among non-White samples. In addition, the majority of previous studies have examined the influence of somatic symptoms in a cross-sectional rather than a prospective manner. This study examines the prevalence of 12 somatic symptoms, the association of somatic and anxiety symptoms (both concurrently and prospectively) with psychosocial func…
