Delta-8- and Delta-9-THC Use Frequency, Use Motives, and Mental Health Outcomes
Use of delta-8-THC ("delta-8") has proliferated after the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill. Yet, research on the mental health effects of this increasingly popular cannabinoid is scant. The current study sought to examine mental health correlates of delta-8 use frequency and motives, investigate whether delta-8 use motives predict use frequency, and compare use motives and problems between delta-8 and traditional cannabis. Participants consisted of …
Associations between minority stress, depression, and suicidal ideation and attempts in transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals
Temporal trends in rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidality among cisgender sexual minority and heterosexual college students
Longitudinal effects of social media experiences on depression and anxiety in LGB+ and heterosexual young adults
Background Social media has become increasingly widespread among young adults, yet its relationship to depression and anxiety may depend on the users’ experiences. For LGB+ individuals, who exhibit disproportionate rates of anxiety and depression, social media may present a unique source of acceptance or of hostility and stress.Methods This study examined whether sexual orientation (SO) moderated the relationship between social media experiences …
A multi-level modeling approach examining PTSD symptom reduction during prolonged exposure therapy
People living with HIV (PLWH) have extensive interpersonal trauma histories and higher rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than the general population. Prolonged exposure (PE) therapy is efficacious in reducing PTSD across a variety of trauma samples; however, research has not examined factors that influence how PTSD symptoms change during PE for PLWH. Using multi-level modeling, we examined the potential moderating effect of number of …
The role of appraisals and coping in predicting posttraumatic stress following pediatric injury
Early interventions designed to prevent or reduce PTSS after pediatric injury may be more successful if they primarily target modifying escape coping behaviors. To best inform clinical practice, future research should examine factors influencing the development of children's appraisals and coping behaviors in the context of potentially traumatic events.

The Validation of the Female Sexual Function Index, Male Sexual Function Index, and Profile of Female Sexual Function for Use in Healthy Young Adults
The Transaction Between Depression and Anxiety Symptoms and Sexual Functioning
Predicting Children’s Depressive Symptoms from Community and Individual Risk Factors
The insidious effects of failing to include design-driven correlated residuals in latent-variable covariance structure analysis.
In practice, the inclusion of correlated residuals in latent-variable models is often regarded as a statistical sleight of hand, if not an outright form of cheating. Consequently, researchers have tended to allow only as many correlated residuals in their models as are needed to obtain a good fit to the data. The current article demonstrates that this strategy leads to the underinclusion of residual correlations that are completely justified on t…
Rumination, negative cognition, and their interactive effects on depressed mood
Response styles theory posits that rumination represents a trait vulnerability to depression. Recent evidence has suggested that rumination predicts changes in depression more strongly among individuals with high levels of negative cognition. Three studies evaluated this model of interactive vulnerabilities. Study 1 provided empirical support for the distinction between rumination and negative cognitive content. The next 2 studies investigated th…
