What Makes for a Vitalizing Day in Adolescence? Antecedents and Outcomes of Daily Need Crafting
Can Students Learn to Optimize Their Need-Based Experiences and Mental Health During a Stressful Period? Testing a Need-Crafting Intervention in Higher Education
Testing an Online Program to Foster Need Crafting During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Basic psychological needs and suicidal ideation
This study tested an integrative model linking experiences of need frustration and need satisfaction with suicidal ideation through a risk-enhancing (via anxious-depressive symptoms) and a risk-reducing pathway (via positive cognitions) in adolescents. The generalizability of the model based on the clinical status of the participants was also explored. A matched sample of referred ( n = 210) and non-referred ( n = 210) adolescents aged between 12…
Emotion regulation in times of Covid-19
Work-family conflict and toddler parenting
The objective of this study was to examine associations between daily fluctuations in work-family conflict (i.e. work-to-family interference [WFI] and family-to-work interference [FWI]) and daily fluctuations in toddler parenting (i.e. controlling parenting practices), thereby investigating day-to-day feelings of parental emotional exhaustion as an underlying mechanism. Both mothers and fathers participated in a five-day diary study when their ch…
Adolescents as active managers of their own psychological needs
INTRODUCTION: Satisfaction of adolescents' basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness contributes to their well-being. Socialization figures (e.g., parents) can assist adolescents in getting these needs met. In addition, adolescents can engage in need crafting, thereby proactively managing their behavior towards improved need satisfaction. This research aimed to develop a need crafting measure and to examine the role of n…
Emotion Regulation as a Transdiagnostic Risk Factor for (Non)Clinical Adolescents’ Internalizing and Externalizing Psychopathology
A longitudinal examination of the interplay between personality vulnerability and need‐based experiences in adolescents' depressive symptoms
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine the interplay between the personality vulnerability dimensions of self-criticism and dependency and experienced satisfaction or frustration of the basic psychological needs in relation to adolescents' depressive symptoms. In doing so, we investigated both indirect associations between personality and depressive symptoms (through need-based experiences) and interactions between personality and need-based expe…
When is Parental Monitoring Effective? A Person-centered Analysis of the Role of Autonomy-supportive and Psychologically Controlling Parenting in Referred and Non-referred Adolescents
The intergenerational continuity of parental conditional regard and its role in mothers’ and adolescents’ contingent self‐esteem and depressive symptoms
Although research has documented the adverse consequences of parental academic conditional regard in different developmental periods, few studies have examined antecedents and, in particular, the possibility of intergenerational continuity of this parenting dimension. The current study aimed to identify patterns of intergenerational similarity in two types of conditional regard (i.e., positive and negative). Additionally, it examined mothers’ and…
The moderating role of adolescent personality in associations between psychologically controlling parenting and problem behaviors
Although abundant research has demonstrated associations between psychologically controlling parenting and adolescent problem behavior, little is known about the moderating role of adolescent personality herein. This study examined whether adolescent personality moderates the associations between parental psychological control and internalizing and externalizing problems at the level of within-person change. A 3-wave longitudinal design (N = 198 …
Perceived Maternal Autonomy Support and Early Adolescent Emotion Regulation
This study investigated longitudinal associations between perceived maternal autonomy‐supportive parenting and early adolescents' use of three emotion regulation ( ER ) styles: emotional integration, suppressive regulation, and dysregulation. We tested whether perceived maternal autonomy support predicted changes in ER and whether these ER styles, in turn, related to changes in adjustment (i.e., depressive symptoms, self‐esteem). Participants ( N…
The emotion regulation model of attachment
This research applies the emotion regulation (ER) model of attachment to the regulation of specific emotions, namely sadness and anger, in early adolescents. The study investigates how attachment and accompanying ER strategies relate to both internalizing and externalizing problems. Two separate cross‐sectional studies ( N = 197 and N = 310) supported different associations between attachment and ER (i.e., dysregulation and suppression). For atta…
Exploring the Association Between Insecure Attachment Styles and Adolescent Autonomy in Family Decision Making
Longitudinal Dynamics of Depressogenic Personality and Attachment Dimensions in Adolescence
Attachment and depressive symptoms in middle childhood and early adolescence
This research examines differential associations between attachment dimensions (anxiety and avoidance) and emotion regulation (ER) strategies (dysregulation and suppression) in middle childhood and early adolescence. Furthermore, the study investigates how attachment and ER relate to depressive symptoms and perceived parenting. Two cross‐sectional studies ( N = 339 and N = 746) supported the hypothesized associations between attachment anxiety an…
The Role of Parenting and Mother-Adolescent Attachment in the Intergenerational Similarity of Internalizing Symptoms
An adaptation of the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale-Revised for use with children and adolescents
The investigation of attachment processes during middle childhood and early adolescence has been hampered by a relative lack of measures for this age group differentiating between two fundamental attachment dimensions, that is, anxiety and avoidance. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a child version of the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale-Revised (referred to as the ECR-RC), a self-report questionnaire measuring attachment …
