Childhood Maltreatment and Internalizing and Externalizing Symptoms among Justice-Involved Youth
Rates of maltreatment are high among justice-involved (JI) youth. Previous research demonstrates that maltreated JI youth are more likely to develop both internalizing and externalizing symptoms. However, fewer studies have examined potential mechanisms that may explain this association, particularly as related to youth's cognitive abilities. The current study evaluated the indirect effect of executive function on the link from maltreatment expos…
Adverse Childhood Experiences and Negative Outcomes Among Justice-Involved Youth
Justice-involved youth experience significantly higher rates of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) compared to the general population, which lead to negative outcomes such as greater criminal involvement and mental health disorders. Such effects emphasize the need to examine the role of protective factors on the development of these negative outcomes. This study uses data from 519 youth referred to a probation department in Southeast Texas to e…
Comparing Public Perceptions of Child and Adult Grief Responses to Familial Incarceration
Children of incarcerated parents may grieve this loss, yet perceptions of their grief are understudied. Using vignettes varying by age (adult/child) and grief response (prolonged/resilient), we examined differences between perceptions of adults and children grieving parental incarceration. Participants rated grief response appropriateness, comfort providing support, and grief therapy recommendations for the grieving person in the vignette. Partic…
Anxiety and depression in young adults
This cross‐sectional study examined how perceived partner drinking relates to relationship satisfaction and symptoms of anxiety and depression across romantic drinking partnerships. Participants included 239 cisgender, heterosexual undergraduate students in current romantic relationships ( M age = 19.74; 76.15% female; 87.87% White) who reported their own and their romantic partner's drinking. Associations between drinking partnerships, identifie…
Risky Early Family Environment and Genetic Associations with Adult Metabolic Dysregulation
Growing up in a family environment characterized by neglectful parenting, overt conflict, and unsupportive relationships is associated with poor health in adulthood. A risky early family environment may also be associated with obesity in adulthood, likely through the activation of the HPA axis. Likewise, the GABAergic (gamma-aminobutyric acid) T>C single nucleotide polymorphism in the 1519 nucleotide position of the GABAAα6 receptor subunit gene …
An Examination of Sleep as a Mediator of the Relationship between Childhood Adversity and Depression in Hispanic and Non-Hispanic Young Adults
The current study integrates previous research on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and long-term health outcomes to examine associations between ACEs, sleep duration, and depression in a diverse, mostly healthy, sample of young adults. We examine whether sleep duration mediates the association between ACEs and depression among young adults, and whether ethnicity may moderate observed relationships between ACEs, sleep duration and depression. …
Does Stress Mediate the Relation between Caregivers’ Victimization and Child Behavioral Outcomes? A Prospective Examination
Identifying the Contributions of Maternal Factors and Early Childhood Externalizing Behavior on Adolescent Delinquency
Relational permanence and the potential for delinquency among African American adolescents in foster care
Mentors' experiences of mentoring justice‐involved adolescents
Mentoring provides a relational intervention that can promote positive youth development among adolescents who are involved in the juvenile justice system. The perspectives of mentors engaging these youth, particularly insights considered through a cultural humility lens, have been largely absent from the literature to date. This study examined predominately White, middle‐ to upper‐class adult mentors' experiences mentoring racially diverse, work…
Traumatic brain injury and lifetime suicidality
The present article investigates the traumatic brain injury (TBI)-suicide link, assessing whether (a) TBI accounts for variance in suicide risk, and (b) the interpersonal-psychological theory of suicide can be applied to TBI status. Matched case-control procedures applied to archival college student health data identified TBI and non-TBI subsamples (84 total). Individuals with a TBI possessed higher suicide risk than those without. Even accountin…
Understanding the Influence of Mental Health Diagnosis and Gender on Placement Decisions for Justice-Involved Youth
A New Partnership for Development
One of the basic and most difficult problems of our century seems to be that of the so-called ' developing' nations. Although the generally accepted distinction between growth and development is sometimes questioned, one thing is certain, that in most Asian, African, and South American countries there is a need for development. International organisations and the more 'advanced' countries are aware of this, and make continuous efforts towards spe…
