  • Linking childhood adversity and daily hassles to adolescent sleep behaviors

    Mingjun Xie, Qianqian Gao et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2026

    This study sought to examine whether diurnal cortisol served as an intermediary pathway linking childhood adversity and daily hassles to adolescent sleep behaviors (i.e., duration and quality). Data were drawn from 255 Chinese adolescents (32.2% female; Mage = 11.678 years, SD = 0.741, range = 10-14 years). Adolescents filled out a survey on demographics and childhood adversity at T1. One year later (T2), they completed 7-day reports on daily has…

  • Adverse childhood experiences and trajectories of hearing, vision, and dual sensory loss among middle-aged and older adults

    Open AccessXue Wang, Huaxin Si et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2026

    These findings highlight the importance of ACEs for later-life sensory health, suggesting that addressing specific experiences, especially physical abuse and household violence, may strengthen prevention efforts

  • Social Isolation and Sensory Difficulties

    Open AccessCorinna Trujillo Tanner, Jeremy Yorgason et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2026

    Sensory difficulties, including vision and hearing difficulties, are prevalent among older adults, disproportionately affecting Mexican and U.S. Hispanic individuals. Social determinants of health are potential drivers of these disparities. Mexican and U.S. Hispanic older adults experience lower levels of social isolation, potentially because of culturally motivated familismo

  • Depressive symptoms but not chronic stress mediate the link between income and cognition in Latino and Black older adults

    Open AccessJordana Breton, Emilio Muñoz et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2026

    These initial results suggest that the development of interventions targeted toward depressive symptoms in Black and Latino older adults may help promote well-being and alleviate the detrimental consequences of income inequalities on cognition in older adulthood

  • Pathways from neighborhood adversity to life satisfaction among older African American adults

    Open AccessKatherine Knauft, Kristin M Davis et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2025References: 3

    Objectives Neighborhood adversity can erode residents’ well-being, including life satisfaction. Higher perceived neighborhood quality may be an avenue through which low neighborhood adversity is associated with elevated life satisfaction. Despite historical and ongoing racial residential segregation, pathways from neighborhood adversity and perceived neighborhood quality to life satisfaction remain underexplored in African American adults. Method…

  • Lifetime Stressor Severity and Diurnal Cortisol in Older African American Adults

    Open AccessKatherine Knauft, Kristin M Davis et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychobiology2025References: 76

    Multiple theoretical models have been proposed to explain how stressor exposure across the life course relates to the functioning of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis, as indexed by daily cortisol secretion. However, this association remains understudied in African Americans. The present study tested three competing models of stressor severity across the lifespan and diurnal cortisol secretion in a sample of 203 older African American…

  • Stress, positive affect, and sleep in older African American adults

    Open AccessKristin M Davis, Grant S Shields et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Behavioral Medicine2025References: 70

    BACKGROUND: Although sleep disparities contribute to racial health disparities, little is known about factors affecting sleep among African Americans. One such factor may be positive affect, which could impact sleep directly (direct effect hypothesis) or indirectly by buffering the effects of stress (stress buffering hypothesis). PURPOSE: We tested the direct effect and stress buffering effects of positive affect on sleep at three levels (day, we…

  • Health behaviors at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessJacqueline Rodriguez-Stanley, Tim Bogg et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2025References: 52

    Subjective social status (SSS), the perception of one's social standing compared to others in society, and socioeconomic status (SES) are interconnected but distinct determinants of health. Intermediary factors such as distress and health behaviors can contribute to this relationship. This pre-registered study hypothesized that, in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, nonspecific psychological distress would indirectly link SSS and SES to p…

  • Naturalistically observed interpersonal problems and diabetes management in older adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes

    Jacqueline Rodriguez-Stanley, Samuele Zilioli et al.ARTICLEPsychology & Health2023

    OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the links between naturalistically observed and self-reported interpersonal problems, diabetes management, and glucose levels in older adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes. DESIGN: Sixty-eight older adolescents and young adults (aged 17-20 years) participated in a cross-sectional study that consisted of three home visits and a daily diary segment. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: values, conducted an intervie…

  • Positive crossover

    Open AccessSabrina J Bierstetel, Allison K Farrell et al.ARTICLEPersonal Relationships2023References: 9

    Romantic relationship functioning has implications that extend beyond the romantic dyad. This study tests whether a key positive aspect of relationships, perceived partner responsiveness , can cross over from parents' romantic relationships to children's health and well‐being via parenting behavior. In a sample of 112 youth with asthma and their primary caregivers, when caregivers perceived higher partner responsiveness in their romantic relation…

  • Socioeconomic status and medication adherence among youth with asthma

    Michael W Harvey, Richard B Slatcher et al.ARTICLEPsychology & Health2022

    OBJECTIVE: The current research aims to examine a potential explanation for SES disparities in youth medication adherence: the frequency of children's daily routines. DESIGN: In a cross-sectional sample of 194 youth with asthma (112 boys and 82 girls; average age = 12.8 years old) and their primary caregivers primarily from the Detroit metropolitan area, caregivers reported their SES and the frequency of their children's daily routines during the…

  • Links Between Socioeconomic Status, Daily Depressive Affect, Diurnal Cortisol Patterns, and All-Cause Mortality

    Ledina Imami, Yanping Jiang et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2022

    OBJECTIVE: Socioeconomic status (SES) remains a robust risk factor for mortality. Various theoretical models postulate that lower SES is associated with higher negative affect, which then initiates a cascade of physiological disturbances that contribute to illness and early mortality. However, few studies have explicitly investigated the interplay between psychological and biological factors in determining SES disparities in mortality. This study…

  • The Interactive Effects of Education and Social Support on Cognition in African Americans

    Open AccessDeannah R Byrd, Yanping Jiang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2022References: 10

    Objectives: This study examines whether the effects of receiving and providing social support on cognition differ by education. Methods: Data from 602 African American adults (48-95 years) enrolled in the Baltimore Study of Black Aging-Patterns of Cognitive Aging were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results: We found no main effects of receiving or providing social support on global cognition. Main effects for receiving or providing so…

  • Perceived Social Support and Children’s Physiological Responses to Stress

    Lihua Chen, Samuele Zilioli et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2021

    OBJECTIVE: The current study aimed to examine the stress-buffering effect of children's perceived social support on their hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis and autonomic nervous system reactivity to an acute laboratory stressor. METHODS: A sample of 150 children (aged 9-13 years, mean [standard deviation] age = 10.69 [0.93] years, 74 girls) reported perceived social support, stressful life events, and underwent the Modified Trier Social …

  • Perceived Social Support and Latent Herpesvirus Reactivation

    Yanping Jiang, Samuele Zilioli et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2021

    OBJECTIVE: Perceived social support is consistently associated with physical health outcomes, and one potential physiological mechanism underlying this association is immune function. In this study, we tested both the main and stress-buffering effects of perceived social support on cellular immunity measured via latent herpesvirus reactivation. METHODS: Data were collected from a community-based sample of 1443 ethnically diverse adults between th…

  • The School-Ladder Effect

    Lihua Chen, Hongfei Du et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2021

    OBJECTIVE: Subjective socioeconomic status (SES) is a well-established psychosocial determinant of adolescents' self-report health. However, whether low subjective SES is associated with stress-related physiological risks (e.g., dysregulations in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity) remains uncertain. This study examined the impact of subjective SES with different reference groups (i.e., perception of family SES relative to other stu…

  • Diurnal Cortisol in a Sample of Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Chinese Children

    Lihua Chen, Xiaoming Li et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2019

    OBJECTIVE: Low socioeconomic status (SES) is one of the most well-established social determinants of health. However, little is known about what can protect the health of individuals (especially children) living in low-SES circumstances. This study explored whether the psychological strategy of "shift-and-persist" protects low-SES children from stress-related physiological risks, as measured through blunted (unhealthy) diurnal cortisol profiles. …

  • Socioeconomic Status, Ecologically Assessed Social Activities, and Daily Cortisol Among Older Urban African Americans

    Open AccessSamuele Zilioli, Heather Fritz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2019References: 19

    Objectives: Higher socioeconomic status (SES) individuals report more social activities than their lower SES counterparts. Yet, SES and racial health disparities are often confounded. Here, we tested whether the frequency of engagement in social activities contributed to the association between SES and daily cortisol secretion among urban African American older adults. Methods: Ninety-two community-dwelling African Americans aged 55 years and old…
