The overlooked role of internalizing symptoms in adolescent executive function: Insights from self- and teacher ratings
This study examined how self- and teacher-rated executive functioning (EF), measured with the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function – Second Edition, differed between adolescents with and without self-reported neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs; e.g., autism), across levels of internalizing symptoms, and how EF, NDDs, and internalizing symptoms related to academic achievement. Analyses included gender as a factor or were conducted separ…
Mental Health Profiles Among Swedish High School Students: Relationships to Environmental Sensitivity and Coping Self-Efficacy
Dual-factor models of mental health integrate both positive and negative indicators to provide a more comprehensive understanding of mental health profiles. In this cross-sectional study, we explored the mental health profiles of Swedish high school students by examining five positive indicators of well-being—connectedness, perseverance, optimism, happiness, and engagement—alongside three distress indicators: symptoms of depression, anxiety, and …
Disordered eating in a 10‐year perspective from adolescence to young adulthood: Stability, change, and body dissatisfaction as a predictor
INTRODUCTION: Although there are many studies of disordered eating (DE) in adolescence, studies examining the longitudinal stability and change of DE and its longitudinal associations with other factors are still rather scarce. Such studies are important to inform parents and clinicians how stable DE is and to what extent it will go away with increased maturity. Longitudinal studies may also be of help in establishing predictors of long-term prob…
The five self-harm behavior groupings measure: Empirical and thematic data from a novel comprehensive self-harm assessment
The empirical analyses of the 5S-HM demonstrate that it is a robust measure for use in clinical and research settings. Thematic analyses proposed explanations for why self-harm behaviors are initiated and how they are reinforced over time. Sexual self-harm in particular requires further careful study
One-Year Consistency in Lifetime Frequency Estimates and Functions of Non-Suicidal Self-Injury in a Clinical Sample
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), the direct, deliberate destruction of one's own bodily tissue in the absence of an intent to die, is frequently used for evaluating treatment in clinical care. One instrument for assessing NSSI is the Inventory of Statements About Self-Injury (ISAS). The ISAS is a self-rating measure examining the lifetime frequencies of NSSI behaviors and further exploring NSSI functions. The study aimed to examine the consistenc…
Adolescents’ Emotion Regulation Strategies Questionnaire: Initial Validation and Prospective Associations With Nonsuicidal Self-Injury and Other Mental Health Problems in Adolescence and Young Adultho…
Although there is extensive research indicating the vital role of functional emotion regulation (ER) in healthy psychological development, such research has neglected examination of adolescents. One potential reason for this neglect is the lack of valid ER instruments developed specifically for adolescents. Further, the available ER instruments for adolescents usually require elaborate forms of cognitive reasoning about the internal sequences of …
Disordered eating and emotion dysregulation among adolescents and their parents
The present study contributes to the literature by demonstrating that there are significant associations between parents and their adolescent children in terms of DE, emotion dysregulation, and shared family meals. Future studies should break down these relationships among mothers, fathers, girls, and boys to further clarify the specific associational, and possibly predictive, directions
Grit and Different Aspects of Well-Being: Direct and Indirect Relationships via Sense of Coherence and Authenticity
The Harmony in Life Scale Complements the Satisfaction with Life Scale: Expanding the Conceptualization of the Cognitive Component of Subjective Well-Being
The Relationship Between Identity Consistency Across Social Roles and Different Aspects of Mental Health Varies by Age Group
The relationships between identity consistency and continuous measures of emotional, psychological, and social well-being and differences in the degree of identity consistency among individuals in the flourishing and moderately mentally healthy categories were studied in a sample of 109 adults. Participants estimated their mental health and rated 16 self-concept attributes in three different social roles as friend, romantic partner, and coworker …
Direct and indirect aggression and victimization in adolescents - associations with the development of psychological difficulties
The present results indicate that direct and indirect aggression, as well as direct and indirect victimization, may have different roles in the development of psychological difficulties in young adolescents. Further, the demonstration of prospective bidirectional associations points to a possible mechanism for the development of psychological difficulties, that may be described in terms of dynamical systems theory. This has potential relevance bo…
Transformative narratives: The impact of working with war and torture survivors
There is growing interest in how helpers working with severely traumatized individuals are affected by their work. A sample of 69 persons working with war and torture survivors across specialized centers throughout Sweden filled out questionnaires evaluating negative (i.e., compassion fatigue—composed of secondary traumatic stress [STS] and burnout—depersonalization, and impairment of functioning) and positive (posttraumatic growth [PTG], compass…
Swedish and Lithuanian employed women's subjective well‐being
National differences in subjective well‐being (SWB) and relationships between SWB and socio‐demographic factors were investigated in samples of middle‐aged employed Swedish (N = 316) and Lithuanian (N = 308) women. The results showed that the Swedish women scored significantly higher on each SWB component than their counterparts in Lithuania, except in extrinsic job satisfaction. For the Swedish sample, the largest mean differences between differ…
The importance of social circumstances for Swedish women's subjective wellbeing
The importance of social circumstances for middle‐age women's general subjective wellbeing (SWB) was investigated in a representative sample of Swedish women, aged 43 (N = 369). The results showed non‐existent to moderate relationships between a number of social circumstances variables and general SWB. The strongest relationship was found between marital status and global life satisfaction. Being off work because of illness and household income w…
