    Open AccessKatherine M Kidwell, Rebecca L Brock et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2025References: 67

    To characterize adolescent health behavior profiles and associations with mental health, mixture models using data from two assessment points ( N = 201; Female = 53.7%, Time 1 m -age = 15.4 years; Time 2 m -age = 16.3 years) identified three distinct health behavior patterns.

The current study evaluated whether deprivation and/or unpredictability early in life have unique effects on the general factor of psychopathology through impaired preschool e…

Both parents of dual parenting househol…

  • Self‐compassion mediates the link between attachment security and intimate relationship quality for couples navigating pregnancy

    Open AccessTuyen Huynh, Eric Phillips et al.ARTICLEFamily Process2022

The overarching…
