The concurrent relationship of specific and detailed turning points and young adults’ depressive symptoms
Recalling either a specific (unique, 24 h or less) turning point memory narrative or a turning point with greater episodic detail (who, when, where and what happened) has been shown to predict higher youth depressive symptoms. The current research with emerging adults (N = 195, M = 20.5 years), therefore examined first the relationships of specific and detailed turning points with depressive symptoms, and second, whether recollective memory quali…
Kia Tīmata Pai Video Project
This study investigated the impact of an educator-implemented oral language intervention, Enhancing Rich Interactions (ENRICH), on linguistic aspects of educator-toddler interactions. Twenty-four early childhood classrooms were assigned to either ENRICH or an Active Control condition; ENRICH educators received professional development in serve-and-return interactions. For book-reading, results revealed effects of ENRICH for educators' shorter con…
The predictive power of autobiographical memory in shaping the mental health of young people
Reduced autobiographical memory (AM) specificity, characterized by difficulty recalling specific past events, is a feature of multiple psychiatric disorders. While meta-analyses indicate that reduced AM specificity can predict future symptom severity, its role as a premorbid risk factor for mental illness onset in young people remains unclear. Our preregistered individual participant data meta-analysis (PROSPERO; CRD42022287786) synthesized longi…
Parent–adolescent reminiscing and youth psychopathology
INTRODUCTION: Robust research links qualities of parent-child discussions about past emotion-laden events to socioemotional development and broader psychological outcomes during childhood. The role of parent-adolescent reminiscing in adolescent psychological adjustment, however, has received less attention, despite adolescence being a time of heightened vulnerability for the development of internalizing symptoms. In the current multimethod study,…
Maternal reminiscing during middle childhood
The way that mothers talk about the past (reminisce) with young children is linked to key memory, language, and socioemotional outcomes. The present research explored the role of a range of child, maternal, socioeconomic, and cultural factors that predict maternal reminiscing style, with a particular focus on maternal personality and child temperament. A total of 1,404 mother-child dyads from the prebirth longitudinal cohort study Growing Up in N…
Retrieval-induced forgetting for autobiographical memories beyond recall rates
We investigated whether selective discussion of autobiographical memory narratives would impact the quality of young people's recall of their nondiscussed memory narratives. Children (ages 8-9 years, n = 65) and adolescents (ages 13-15 years, n = 58) completed an adapted version of the retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF) paradigm for self-generated positively and negatively valenced autobiographical memories. Overall, 54.5% of the sample were fema…
Observing the self, avoiding the experience? The role of the observer perspective in autobiographical recall and its relationship to depression in adolescence
The tendency to adopt an observer perspective (OP) when recalling autobiographical memories has been shown to be related to both avoidance and depression in adults. Very little research has examined this relationship in adolescents, however, and none of this work has adopted a longitudinal paradigm. This is an important gap in light of the marked escalation in rates of depression across the adolescent period. The current study therefore examined …
Callous-Unemotional Features are Associated with Emotion Recognition Impairments in Young ODD Children with Low but not High Affective Arousal
Maternal Elaborative Language in Shared Emotion Talk with ODD Children
Emotional Abilities in Children with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
The Components of Young Children's Emotion Knowledge
This research adopted observational and experimental paradigms to investigate the relationships between components of emotion knowledge in three‐ to four‐year‐old children. In S tudy 1, 88 children were assessed on the Emotion Matching Task ( M organ, I zard, & K ing), and two tasks requiring the generation of emotion labels and causes. Most tasks were significantly associated with age and language ability, and similar tasks were significantly bu…

A Needs Assessment to Build International Research Ethics Capacity
INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATORS IN BIOMEDICAL sciences face ethical challenges in the design, review, and conduct of research. Challenges include differences in research ethics capacity, cultural differences in interpretation and application of ethical principles, and cooperation between ethics review boards at collaborating institutions. Indiana University School of Medicine (Indianapolis, USA) and Moi University Faculty of Health Sciences (Eldoret,…
