Reward motives are differentially related to depression, anxiety, and ADHD symptoms in middle childhood
Deviations in reward anticipation and response are associated with internalizing and externalizing disorders. However, relationships between different types of reward motivations and psychopathology have been less explored. We examine how preferences for absolute (gaining points) and relative (gaining more points than others) rewards relate to psychopathological symptoms in middle childhood. A community sample ( N = 133 6- to 9-year-olds) was ass…
Experimental Pain Sensitivity and Parental Pain Catastrophizing
Parental pain catastrophizing may contribute minimally to the individual variability in experimental pain sensitivity of healthy adolescent girls
Using a thin slice coding approach to assess preschool overweight and obesity
Childhood emotion dysregulation mediates the relationship between preschool emotion labeling and adolescent depressive symptoms
Deficits in emotion processing (e.g., emotion labeling and regulation) are widely implicated in depression risk. While prior literature documents these deficits in concurrence with depression, more research is needed to investigate emotion processing pathways of depression risk across development. The purpose of this study was to investigate if emotion processes (i.e., emotion labeling and emotion regulation/dysregulation) in early and middle chi…
Associations Between Preterm Birth, Inhibitory Control-Implicated Brain Regions and Tracts, and Inhibitory Control Task Performance in Children
Relationship Between Neighborhood Poverty and Externalizing Symptoms in Children
Using a Thin Slice Coding Approach to Assess Preschool Personality Dimensions
A large literature assessing personality across the lifespan has used the Big Five as an organizing framework, with evidence that variation along different dimensions predicts aspects of psychopathology. Parent reports indicate that these dimensions emerge as early as preschool, but there is a need for objective, observational measures of personality in young children, as parent report can be confounded by the parents’ own personality and psychop…
Changes in self‐reported and observed parenting following a randomized control trial of parent–child interaction therapy for the treatment of preschool depression
BACKGROUND: Parenting in early childhood exerts substantial influence over children's emotional health and development. Using data from a randomized controlled trial of a novel treatment for early childhood depression, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy Emotion Development (PCIT-ED), we explored two broad dimensions of parenting (behavior and affect) to determine whether any changes could be detected following treatment when compared to those in a …
Investigating the Link Between Depression, Cognition, and Motivation in Late Childhood
White Matter Tract Integrity, Involvement in Sports, and Depressive Symptoms in Children
The Overcontrol in Youth Checklist (Ocyc)
Emotion Identification in Preschool and Early Adolescent Body Mass Index
Early Adversity, Psychopathology, and Latent Class Profiles of Global Physical Health From Preschool Through Early Adolescence
These findings indicate the importance of early indicators of risk: low income-to-needs ratios, high psychosocial adversity, and psychiatric disorders occurring during the preschool period for contributing to increasing physical health problems from preschool through early adolescence. Early-onset psychiatric disorders also mediated relations between psychosocial adversity, income-to-needs ratio, and physical health problems
Do losses loom larger for children than adults
The large impact of loss of reward on behavior has been well documented in adult populations. However, whether responsiveness to loss relative to gain is similarly elevated in child versus adult populations remains unclear. It is also unclear whether relations between incentive behaviors and self-reported reward/punishment sensitivity are similar within different developmental stages. To investigate these questions, 7- to 10-year-old children (N …
Classes of Psychotic Experiences in Kenyan Children and Adolescents
Affective Reactivity in Language
Several studies have found that individuals with schizophrenia and their relatives, as well as healthy controls, exhibit greater language disturbance when discussing affectively negative as compared to positive or neutral topics. The goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that negative emotion impairs language production, at least in part by increasing physiological arousal. The authors had 35 healthy adults produce speech in response to a…
