Adverse Childhood Experiences and Depressive Symptoms: The Mediating Role of Interpersonal Capitalization and Relationship Closeness
Prior research has mostly focused on the role of negative interpersonal processes in the association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and depression. However, disruptions of positive interpersonal experiences may also be important. ACEs may reduce capitalization, the process of sharing good news with others, which contributes to experiencing closeness in relationships. This study examined whether capitalization and relationship closen…
Dyadic associations between eating behaviors and body mass index in couples with a member living with overweight: A longitudinal study
Associations of pregnancy complications with paternal cardiovascular risk: A retrospective cohort study
BACKGROUND: Early cardiovascular disease risk detection opportunities are limited in men, whereas gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension and preeclampsia are risk indicators in women. We hypothesised adverse pregnancy outcomes also signal risk in fathers, due to shared environments and behaviours. METHODS: Our retrospective cohort study included fathers whose female partners had at least two singleton deliveries between April 1990 and Dec…
Fluctuations in unmet interpersonal needs and emotional pain among adolescents with and without depression: A daily diary study
Introduction: Emotional pain and unmet interpersonal needs, i.e., thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness, are associated with increased risk for suicidality. This study examined their daily occurrence and variability among adolescents at both lower and higher risk for suicidality, and whether unmet interpersonal needs predicted daily emotional pain. Method: Fifty-five adolescents with and without major depressive disorder (MDD) compl…
Changes in Purpose in Life and Low-Grade Chronic Inflammation Across Older Adulthood
Background: Older adults often experience an increase in low-grade chronic inflammation. Purpose in life could act as a protective factor as it is associated with beneficial health outcomes. Purpose in life may exert part of its adaptive function by promoting persistence in goal pursuit. During older adulthood, however, when many individuals experience an increase in intractable stressors and declining resources, the adaptive function of purpose …
Factors associated with mental health service use during the pandemic: Initiation and barriers
Background: Scarce are the studies focusing on initiation of new mental health service use (MHSU) and distinguishing individuals who have sought services but have been unsuccessful in accessing these. Aims: Assessing the factors associated with initiating new MHSU as compared to no MHSU due to self-reported no need, no MHSU due to health system and personal barriers and MHSU using resources already in place. Methods: The sample included participa…
Mainstream acculturation in superdiverse settings: The beneficial role of intergroup contact with ‘other‐cultures’ individuals
This work focuses on migrants’ ‘other‐cultures’ intergroup contact – contact with individuals belonging to neither their heritage ingroup nor the mainstream outgroup. We test the overarching hypothesis that other‐cultures contact is positively associated with mainstream acculturation, especially when contact in the mainstream group is scarce. Study 1 results show that frequent other‐cultures contact is positively associated with mainstream identi…
Attachment Styles and Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors: A Meta-Analysis
Introduction: This meta-analysis examined the association between dimensional and categorical conceptualizations of attachment styles and suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs). Methods: Random-effects meta-analysis was conducted to examine the associations between categorical secure attachment, categorical insecure attachment, and insecure attachment dimensions and STBs. Methodological moderators were also explored. This protocol was registered …
Longitudinal effects of pandemic stressors and dyadic coping on relationship satisfaction during the Covid ‐19 pandemic
Polygenic risk score and peer victimisation independently predict depressive symptoms in adolescence: Results from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Children Development
BACKGROUND: Peer victimisation has been associated with depressive symptoms during adolescence, however not all peer victimised adolescents will exhibit such symptoms. This study tested whether having a genetic predisposition to developing depression increased the risk of experiencing depressive symptoms in peer victimised youth. To date, no study has explored such gene-environment interaction using a polygenic risk score for depression (PRS-depr…
Factors associated with change in moderate or severe symptoms of anxiety and depression in community-living adults and older adults during the Covid-19 pandemic
Health and socio-economic factors were associated with changes in symptoms of anxiety and depression during the pandemic, further increasing inequities in mental health needs. Public health campaigns on the importance of healthy behaviours should continue and health policies should reduce economic and social barriers to integrated substance use and mental health care
Depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation in a population-based cohort of young adults before and during the first 12 months of the Covid-19 pandemic in Canada
Come abroad with me: The Role of Partner Characteristics and Couple Acculturation Gaps on Individual Psychological Adjustment
Although many individuals migrate to a new country with their romantic partner, most acculturation research has focused on individual factors related to migration-related psychological adjustment without considering couple influences. The current research investigates traditional predictors of psychological adaptation – mainstream and heritage acculturation, motivation to migrate, and perceived discrimination – from the perspective of both migran…
Respiratory sinus arrhythmia moderates the interpersonal consequences of brooding rumination
Brooding rumination is an intrapersonal emotion regulation strategy associated with negative interpersonal consequences. Resting respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), a psychophysiological marker of self-regulatory capacity, may buffer the association between maladaptive emotion regulation and negative interpersonal behaviors. The current work examines the moderating effect of RSA on the association between brooding rumination and different negativ…
Group-based trajectories and predictors of adherence to physical distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic
Objective: This study sought to identify psychosocial predictors of trajectories of adherence to physical distancing alongside changes in public health measures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design: A three-time point longitudinal survey during the first two waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Participants (N = 1003) completed self-report measures of adherence to physical distancing over an 8-month period at the start (T1) and end (T2) of th…
The Psychometric Properties of the French–Canadian Stress and Anxiety to Viral Epidemics-6 Scale for Measuring the Viral Anxiety of the General Population During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The French-Canadian version of the SAVE-6 scale is a valid and reliable rating scale, which can measure the general population's anxiety response to the viral epidemic
Viral Anxiety Mediates the Influence of Intolerance of Uncertainty on Adherence to Physical Distancing Among Healthcare Workers in Covid-19 Pandemic
We observed that viral anxiety of healthcare workers mediated the association between intolerance of uncertainty and adherence to physical distancing. During this pandemic, exploring adherence to physical distancing and its predicting factors will be helpful for the safety of healthcare workers and the patients for whom they care
A longitudinal study of “we‐talk” as a predictor of marital satisfaction
We‐talk, the use of first‐person plural pronouns over the use of singular pronouns when describing relationship events, is regarded as a linguistic indicator of marital relationship functioning. A meta‐analysis revealed that we‐talk is positively associated with relationship satisfaction. However, this literature is based mostly on cross‐sectional studies. This study tested the hypothesis that we‐talk would be associated with greater marital sati…
Polygenic scores differentially predict developmental trajectories of subtypes of social withdrawal in childhood
BACKGROUND: Children who consistently withdraw from social situations face increased risk for later socioemotional difficulties. Twin studies indicate that genetic factors substantially account for the persistence of social withdrawal over time. However, the molecular genetic etiology of chronic courses of social wariness and preference for solitude, two dimensions of social withdrawal, remains undocumented. The objectives of the present study we…
Implicit Affect, Heart Rate Variability, and the Metabolic Syndrome
OBJECTIVE: Greater negative affect has been associated with an increased risk of the metabolic syndrome (METs). However, all studies to date have examined this association using explicit affect measures based on subjective ratings of emotional experiences. Prior studies suggest that implicit affect, representing the automatic, prereflective appraisal process involved in conscious emotional experiences, is associated with physiological stress resp…
Cardiac vagal control among migrants: Associations with mainstream acculturation and perceived ethnic discrimination
This study replicates and extends prior work linking RSA and mainstream acculturation using a sample of racialized and marginalized migrants. It provides evidence that RSA is related to migrants' adoption of the mainstream culture and may modulate how they handle perceived ethnic discrimination. Thus, this study also provides evidence that RSA is tied to how individuals successfully navigate novel social environments, including novel cultural con…

Respiratory sinus arrhythmia reactivity moderates within-person associations of daily capitalization with positive affect and relationship quality
Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) has been conceptualized as a biomarker of a neurophysiological system supporting social behaviors. Capitalization, the interpersonal process of sharing positive experiences with close others, has been associated with improved intrapersonal and interpersonal functioning. The present study examined whether RSA moderated the within-person associations of daily capitalization with positive affect and relationship qu…
Initial Mainstream Cultural Orientations Predict Early Social Participation in the Mainstream Cultural Group
This work adopts a perspective that construes acculturation as a dynamic intergroup process, and social contact with members of the new community as a key mechanism underlying cultural adaptation. We argue that migrants' initial self-reported mainstream cultural orientation constitutes an important antecedent of early social participation in the new community. Results from two longitudinal studies of newly arrived international students ( N = 98 …
Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia Is Prospectively Associated With Early Trajectories of Acculturation Among New International Students
Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is a marker of parasympathetic activity hypothesized to index a neurophysiological system supporting social engagement behaviors. Following migration, people must navigate and adapt to a new sociocultural environment. Whether RSA affects this psychological acculturation process is unknown. This longitudinal study investigated whether resting RSA on arrival in the receiving country was related to changes in cultu…

Close relationships, inflammation, and health
Childhood Adversity Heightens the Impact of Later-Life Caregiving Stress on Telomere Length and Inflammation
OBJECTIVE: To address the question of whether childhood abuse and other adversities have lasting, detectable consequences for inflammation and cell aging late in life, and whether the effects are large enough to be discernible beyond that of a major chronic stressor, dementia family caregiving. Previous research on the physical health consequences of childhood abuse and other adversities has been based on data from young or middle-aged adults. ME…
