Technology-Delivered Mindfulness-Based Intervention Facilitates a Reduction in Depression Symptoms via Change in Positive Affect
Somatic Symptoms Before Menarche
Somatic symptoms are common in adolescence and can predict later emotional distress, academic challenges, and chronic health problems. Their developmental origins, particularly before menarche, remain poorly understood. This cross-sectional study examined associations between psychological distress, parental modeling of pain behavior, pain sensitivity, and somatic symptom burden in premenarchal adolescents. A community sample of 228 adolescents (…

The Heat Is On
Despite evidence that youth gain weight disproportionately over the summer months, few studies examine contributing obesogenic behaviors. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, this study examined associations between summertime dietary intake patterns and executive function among 79 low-income urban minority early adolescent girls (ages 9-13 years). Participants were interviewed via the multiple-pass 24-hour dietary recall method and completed indi…
A Daily Diary Study of Executive Functions, Coping, and Mood Among Low-Income Latino Adolescents
This study used daily diary methodology to examine the association between executive functions and daily mood, as mediated by daily coping, among low-income Latino adolescents. Fifty-eight middle school students (53% male, [Formula: see text] = 13.31 years, 95% Latino) completed baseline measures assessing demographic characteristics and executive functions (working memory, inhibition, shifting). They subsequently completed seven consecutive dail…

Mental health risk factors associated with childhood language brokering
Serving as a language translator (broker) for family members during childhood can affect cognitive and emotional functions in both beneficial and detrimental ways. Child language brokers translate in a variety of contexts including conversations between their parents and financial, legal and medical professionals. Pressure to be involved in these activities may negatively affect mental health by placing undue stress on child language brokers, whi…
Time course of processing emotional stimuli as a function of perceived emotional intelligence, anxiety, and depression
An individual's self-reported abilities to attend to, understand, and reinterpret emotional situations or events have been associated with anxiety and depression, but it is unclear how these abilities affect the processing of emotional stimuli, especially in individuals with these symptoms. The present study recorded event-related brain potentials while individuals reporting features of anxiety and depression completed an emotion-word Stroop task…
Anger style, psychopathology, and regional brain activity
Depression and anxiety often involve high levels of trait anger and disturbances in anger expression. Reported anger experience and outward anger expression have recently been associated with left-biased asymmetry of frontal cortical activity, assumed to reflect approach motivation. However, different styles of anger expression could presumably involve different brain mechanisms and/or interact with psychopathology to produce various patterns of …
