Rumination, co-rumination and latent trait cortisol (LTC)
Although research has linked rumination to various hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis indicators, few studies have examined whether rumination – and its interpersonal counterpart, co-rumination – is uniquely associated with trait-like individual differences in HPA axis activity. The present study tested whether rumination and co-rumination were related to latent trait cortisol (LTC), a trait-like marker of individual differences in HPA axi…
Moral Disengagement, Lack of Guilt, and Offending-Related Exhilaration
The results of prior research point to substantial overlap between Sykes and Matza’s theory of neutralization and Bandura’s theory of moral disengagement. These theories appear to describe the same cognitive processes of moral neutralization. As a result, Bandura’s theory has been described by some scholars as redundant with classic neutralization theory. In fact, Bandura’s theory is relatively complex. According to Bandura, moral neutralization …
The reciprocal relationships between moral disengagement and antisocial behavior from ages 16 to 23
Moral disengagement (MD) has been consistently associated with antisocial behavior (ASB) in prior research. Limited research tested the directionality of the bivariate relationship, and most studies focused only on the direction of MD predicting ASB, even though ASB could also influence MD based on the literature on attribution and behavioral influence on attitude. Moreover, the few studies testing reciprocal associations rarely controlled for st…
Stress Coping Strategies as Mediators
Transitional aged youth (18-24) report increasing and peaking risk-taking (sexual, substance, and delinquent behavior). Stressful life events (SLE) are associated with these risk-taking behaviors. Little is known regarding what mediates these relationships. This study tests whether various coping strategies mediate the relationship between SLE and risky behavior in three domains among 18-24 year olds (N=126; M age = 21.3, SD = 1.9; 52% Black; 56%…
Overestimating Self-Blame for Stressful Life Events and Adolescents’ Latent Trait Cortisol
Effects of harsh parenting and positive parenting practices on youth aggressive behavior
Prior research indicates that early pubertal timing is associated with aggressive behavior, particularly in the context of adversity as postulated in the contextual amplification hypothesis. However, few studies have examined harsh parenting as the context for the effect of early pubertal timing. Even fewer studies have tested the interactive effect of early pubertal timing and positive parenting on aggressive behavior. In this study, we tested t…
Using three-group propensity score method to estimate effects of relationship status and quality on men's antisocial behavior
Heart Rate and Antisocial Behavior
Although a low resting heart rate is considered the best‐replicated biological correlate of antisocial behavior, the mechanism underlying this relationship remains largely unknown. Sensation‐seeking and fearlessness theories have been proposed to explain this relationship, although little empirical research has been conducted to test these theories. This study addressed this limitation by examining the relationship between heart rate and antisoci…
