  • Understanding Gender Differences in Internalizing Symptoms

    Open AccessMary Capili, Margot Bastin et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Early Adolescence2026References: 5

    Rates of internalizing disorders in adolescent girls are twice as high as those in boys their age. One explanation for this disparity is that girls engage in higher rates of co-rumination than boys. The literature suggests that co-rumination contributes to empathetic distress, defined as experiencing another’s emotional distress and problems as one’s own. The current study investigated co-rumination and empathetic distress as mediators of the rel…

  • Adolescent Impulsivity and Emotion Dysregulation

    Open AccessG Friedman, Amy Mezulis et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2025

    This study investigated whether parental socialization of negative emotions moderated the relationship between adolescents' low executive function or high impulsivity and their current or subsequent emotion dysregulation. Emotion dysregulation, characterized by difficulties in managing the intensity and duration of emotions, is a transdiagnostic factor linked to adverse outcomes. Youth with poor executive functioning and/or high impulsivity are a…

  • The role of resilience and gratitude in posttraumatic stress and growth following a campus shooting

    Julie Vieselmeyer, Jeff Holguin et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2016

    Given the prevalence of lifetime trauma, findings indicate that mental health professionals should consider a multifaceted approach to buffer the effects of trauma by preventatively cultivating resilience and enhancing gratitude in posttrauma interventions as a means to decrease PTS and increase PTG. Additional research is needed to understand how individuals develop positive traits as both protective and coping mechanisms. (PsycINFO Database Rec…

  • Adolescent emotionality and effortful control

    Open AccessHannah R Snyder, Lauren D Gulley et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2015Cited by: 5

    Temperament is associated with important outcomes in adolescence, including academic and interpersonal functioning and psychopathology. Rothbart's temperament model is among the most well-studied and supported approaches to adolescent temperament, and contains 3 main components: positive emotionality (PE), negative emotionality (NE), and effortful control (EC). However, the latent factor structure of Rothbart's temperament measure for adolescents…

  • Religious coping, stress, and depressive symptoms among adolescents

    Thomas P Carpenter, Tyler Laney et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Religion and…2012

    This study examined prospective associations between religious coping, stress, and depressive symptoms in a community sample of 111 adolescents (80 female). We hypothesized that religious coping would moderate the relationship between stress and depressive symptoms, with negative religious coping exacerbating the effects of stress on depressive symptoms and positive religious coping buffering the effects of stress on depressive symptoms. We furth…

  • Pathways to Depressive Symptoms in Young Adults

    Open AccessChris Arger, Orlando Sánchez et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2012

    Recent models of depression (e.g., from Hyde and colleagues) have integrated affective and cognitive vulnerability factors, positing that a temperamental factor (i.e., negative emotionality) contributes to the development of cognitive vulnerability factors, which in turn conveys risk for depressive symptoms. Recent literature suggests that effortful control may reduce the strength of the relationship between affective and cognitive factors. Howev…
