  • Research Review

    Open AccessJohn R Weisz, Olivia M Fitzpatrick et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2023

    BACKGROUND: Youth anxiety and depression have long been combined within the empirically derived internalizing syndrome. The two conditions show substantial comorbidity, symptom co-occurrence, and overlap in treatment procedures, but paradoxically diverge in psychotherapy outcomes: strong, positive effects for anxiety and weak effects for depression. METHODS: Drawing on recent research, we examine candidate explanations for this paradox to help id…

  • How do cognitive behavioral therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy improve youth depression? Applying meta-analytic structural equation modeling to three decades of randomized trials

    Open AccessMei-Yee Ng, Katherine A DiVasto et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2023

    Investigating the mechanisms through which psychotherapy brings about desired change can inform efforts to improve therapies. We applied meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) to assess putative change mechanisms for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as mediators of youth depression treatment outcome. Then, we tested whether candidate mediators (CMs) showed evidence of treatment-specificity to CBT versus interpersonal psychotherapy (…

    Suicidal thoughts and behaviors among juvenile justice populations are elevated. However, the characteristics of justice-involved youth who consider and attempt suicide are not well understood.

    Open AccessMei-Yee Ng, Marina Tolou‐Shams et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2019

    We examined whether pre-existing parent psychological distress moderated juvenile offenders' substance use, sexual risk, and mental health outcomes in a randomized trial. Forty-seven parent-adolescent dyads received either Family-based Affect Management Intervention (FAMI) for adolescent substance use and HIV prevention or adolescent-only Health Promotion Intervention (HPI). Parents' self-reported distress at baseline significantly moderated adol…

  • The differential effects of gratitude and sleep on psychological distress in patients with chronic pain

    Open AccessMei-Yee Ng, Wing S Wong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2013Cited by: 2References: 38

    This study aimed to examine the possible cross-sectional mediating role of sleep in the relationship of gratitude with depression and anxiety in patients with chronic pain. A total of 224 patients with chronic pain completed structured questionnaires assessing chronic pain, depression and anxiety symptoms, gratitude, and sleep disturbances. Results of multiple regression analyses yielded a modest mediating effect for sleep on the gratitude-depres…
