Toward best-practice post-disaster mental health promotion for children
There is a pressing need for low-cost intervention models to promote mental health among children in the wake of natural disasters. This article describes an evaluation of one such model: the Happy/Sad Letter Box (HSLB) Project, a mental health promotion intervention designed to minimize trauma in children, resulting from the Indian Ocean tsunami of 26 December 2004. The HSLB Project was implemented in 68 schools in Sri Lanka's Hambantota Distric…
Mood in Daily Contexts
Disturbances in affect have been linked to problem behavior in adolescence and future psychopathology, but little is known about how such disturbances manifest themselves in everyday contexts. This study investigated daily mood in Dutch 7th graders, aged 11–14. Cluster analysis of problem measures distinguished high‐risk ( n =25) and low‐risk ( n =106) subgroups. Participants completed experience‐sampling reports of mood, social context, and loca…
Mood reactivity to daily negative events in early adolescence
Emotional responses to negative daily experiences in young adolescents may provide important clues to the development of psychopathology, but research is lacking. This study assessed momentary mood reactivity to daily events as a function of risk profile in a school sample, ages 11-14. High-risk (HR, n=25) and low-risk (LR, n=106) subgroups completed frequent self-reports of mood and events for 5 days. HR adolescents reported more negative events…
Ecological and Motivational Determinants of Activation
Recontextualizing Psychiatry
A new research strategy is proposed that supplements current research approaches by measuring a person's activity and mental state in daily life settings, thereby taken a step toward ecologically validating diagnosis. This approach is embedded in a multi-method, multi-level design that cascades from ethnography and population and small group statistics to the indepth, time sampling of individuals. In the model, methods such as community surveys, …
Culture and temperament
In this study, 178 infants from three East African societies differing on a number of environmental dimensions were examined to determine if aspects of their developmental environment influenced temperament characteristics. Data strongly suggest that cultural child-rearing patterns, degree of modernization, maternal orientation, ecological setting, and specific early life events contribute to temperament
