  • Facets of trait impulsivity and their relationships to developmental trajectories of externalizing behaviors from childhood into early adolescence

    Open AccessMeilin Jia-Richards, Amelia Versace et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research in Personality2025References: 87

    Average levels of externalizing behaviors declined over time. • Negative Urgency predicted greater declines in externalizing behaviors. • Lack of Premeditation predicted greater declines in externalizing behaviors. • Both UPPS-P facets predicted higher levels of externalizing behaviors across time Impulsivity is a risk factor for externalizing behaviors, although the unique relationships between specific impulsivity facets and externalizing behav…

  • The role of early intervention for adolescent mental health and polydrug use

    Open AccessJenn‐yun Tein, Frances L Wang et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2023

    This study is a secondary data analysis that extends knowledge about the effects of the early childhood Family Check-Up (FCU) intervention to trajectories of general psychopathology problems (p factor) across early and middle childhood, and effects on adolescent psychopathology and polydrug use. The Early Steps Multisite study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT00538252) is a randomized controlled trial of the FCU and consists of a large, racially…

  • Bifactor model of effortful control and impulsivity and their prospective prediction of ego resiliency

    Open AccessFrances L Wang, Nancy Eisenberg et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2019

    OBJECTIVE: Children's effortful control and impulsivity are important predictors of the personality trait, ego resiliency (i.e., resiliency). Most researchers have not considered the fact that effortful control and impulsivity share substantial conceptual and empirical overlap, yet they also have been shown to be distinct. We tested a bifactor model of effortful control and impulsivity to characterize their shared and unique variance, the prospec…

  • Roles of Response Inhibition and Gene–Environment Interplay in Pathways to Adolescents' Externalizing Problems

    Open AccessFrances L Wang, Laurie Chassin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2016Cited by: 1References: 6

    This study used two waves of data to investigate pathways through which adolescents' response inhibition related to later externalizing problems. A polygenic risk score indexed genetic risk for poor response inhibition. Adolescents' performance on a response inhibition task mediated the relation between adolescents' polygenic risk scores and mother's inconsistent parenting (i.e., evocative rGE), even after controlling for mothers' genetic risk (i…

  • The interactive effects of effort to regulate alcohol use, anxiety disorders and affective disorders on long-term remission from alcohol dependence

    Moira Haller, Frances Wang et al.ARTICLEAddiction Research & Theory2013

    Individuals who try harder to limit their drinking are more likely to maintain long-term remission from alcohol dependence. However, affective and anxiety disorders may undermine the protective effect of effort to regulate alcohol use on long-term remission
