Predictors of Change in Language Style Matching
Longitudinal change in symptoms of depression, anxiety and post‐traumatic stress disorder during the Covid ‐19 pandemic among Mexican college students
Longitudinal studies suggest the psychological difficulties precipitated by the COVID‐19 pandemic have gradually declined, but our understanding of the factors that predict change in mental health is limited. We evaluated the mental health of Mexican college students during the early stage of the pandemic and 4 months later, as well as predictors of change in students' mental health. Participants were 648 students (71% women, M age = 21.46) from …
My Cross to Bear
Intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy negatively affects both maternal and infant health, yet gaps remain in understanding factors that maintain violence and/or promote resilience within the context of mothering. Nine focus groups were conducted with pregnant and/or IPV-exposed women ( n = 17) and service providers ( n = 26) working with these women in Nuevo León, Mexico. Thematic analysis of the focus group data revealed the detriment…
Covid-19 related psychosocial problems among university students in Mexico – a longitudinal qualitative examination
Research on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic among college students around the world has primarily focused on their mental health symptoms and COVID-specific worry. However, contextually specific understanding of outbreak impacts is key to inform directed public health messaging and programming to improve wellbeing and coping. The current study aimed to identify the main psychosocial problems college students experienced during the first 6 mon…
A Thematic Analysis of Barriers to and Facilitators of Wellbeing and Resource Access for IPV-Exposed, Pregnant Women in Mexico
Understanding the Relation Between Family Engagement in Education and Preschoolers’ Socioemotional and Behavioral Functioning in a Primarily Latinx Sample
Limited literature assessed the relation between family engagement in education and young children’s socioemotional and behavioral functioning. This study investigated these associations longitudinally among urban and low-income, predominantly Latinx preschoolers ( n = 69) and their mothers. Initial home-school conferencing predicted lower levels of child socioemotional and behavioral difficulties about 8 months later (β = −.20, p
Key expressions of trauma-related distress in Cambodian children
More than half of all children in Cambodia experience direct abuse and over 70% experience other traumatic events, which significantly increase their risks for a range of physical and mental health problems. Additionally, Cambodian children face longstanding sociopolitical, intergenerational, and cultural factors that compound the impact of other trauma. As a result, rates of posttraumatic stress symptoms among Cambodian youth are high. However, …
Local clinician perspectives on cause, impact, and treatment of key expressions of distress in Cambodian children
Child trauma and posttraumatic stress in Cambodia is highly prevalent, perpetuated within a postwar sociocultural context. The examination of locally meaningful expressions of distress is needed to provide culturally sensitive assessment and treatment of trauma-affected Cambodian children. The acceptable, feasible, and sustainable incorporation of expressions of distress into assessment and intervention development relies on key mental health pro…
Parent Cultural Stress and Internalizing Problems in Latinx Preschoolers
Adaptive Functioning Behaviors for Trauma-Affected Children in the Cambodian Context
Across contexts, the roles and responsibilities for children are shaped by a range of sociocultural factors; thus, a contextually specific exploration of adaptive functioning norms is important in optimizing the acceptability, effectiveness, and sustainability of mental health intervention and community programming. The current study aimed to examine child adaptive functioning behaviors for children in Cambodia, a country faced with continuing re…
Maternal Postpartum Depression Increases Vulnerability for Toddler Behavior Problems through Infant Cortisol Reactivity
The current study examined the role of hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal reactivity (a physiological indicator of stress) in early infancy as a mediator of the relationship between maternal postpartum depression and toddler behavior problems. Participants were 137 at‐risk mothers and their children participating in a longitudinal study of intergenerational transmission of risk. Mothers’ depression was measured five times during the infants’ first 18…
Direct and Indirect Effects of Maltreatment and Social Support on Children’s Social Competence Across Reporters
PTSD Symptoms in Young Children Exposed to Intimate Partner Violence
Intimate partner violence (IPV) places infants and young children at risk for development of trauma symptoms. However, this is an understudied consequence of IPV because young children pose particular difficulties for assessment of trauma symptoms. The authors collected maternal reports on mothers' and children's posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and IPV yearly, from ages 1 to 7. Approximately half of the children exposed to IPV at ea…
Resilience Among Children Exposed to Domestic Violence
Individual and family characteristics that predict resilience among children exposed to domestic violence (DV) were examined. Mother–child dyads (n = 190) were assessed when the children were 2, 3, and 4 years of age. DV-exposed children were 3.7 times more likely than nonexposed children to develop internalizing or externalizing problems. However, 54% of DV-exposed children maintained positive adaptation and were characterized by easy temperamen…
