Psychometric evaluation of the positive emotion regulation questionnaire
From Surviving to Thriving
(1) Background: Due to the mental health crisis that has spiraled since the onset of COVID-19, particularly among the nation’s youth, the purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of a novel, school-based mental health intervention for high school students (ages 15–17 years). This project’s main aim was to determine which intervention modality was more effective with students across two school districts with varying degrees of rurality (i…
Development and adaptation of the Emotion Regulation Skills Questionnaire for adolescents
INTRODUCTION: The ability to effectively regulate one's emotions is important for adolescent mental health. However, extant assessments of how adolescents regulate their emotions can be expanded upon in several ways, including incorporating more strategies (e.g., cultural and spiritual) and positive emotions, and being informed by adolescents and expert consultation during the development process. Thus, our study aimed to improve the construct va…
“Following the Breath”
Given the prevalence of mental health issues for both educators and adolescents in rural Montana, this project is designed to help mitigate the impact of stressors by providing coping strategies linked to improvements in overall mental health outcomes for teachers, which may ultimately lead to improved co-regulation of students and classroom climate. The immediate goal of this pilot study was to measure physical and mental health outcomes of educ…
Psychometric properties of the 7‐item version of the Concise Health Risk Tracking Self‐Report Scale for rural adults enrolled in an Internet‐delivered self‐help program for depression
Purpose Monitoring suicide risk in clinical practice requires valid and reliable assessment instruments. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the 7‐item version of the Concise Health Risk Tracking Self‐Report, CHRT‐SR 7 in a primarily rural population. Methods The sample comprised 788 participants (81.7% female) of an effectiveness trial of an internet‐based self‐help intervention for depression. Participants completed self‐report …
Effects of Detritus on the Mosquito Culex pipiens
Species interactions that influence the performance of the exotic mosquito Culex pipiens can have important effects on the transmission risk of West Nile virus (WNV). Invasive plants that alter the vegetation communities of ephemeral ground pools may facilitate or resist the spread of C. pipiens (L.) by altering allochthonous inputs of detritus in those pools. To test this hypothesis, we combined field surveys of roadside stormwater ditches with …
Anxiety, hostile attributions, and differences in heart rate response to ambiguous situational vignettes in adolescents
Theoretically, subjective levels of anxiety and hostile attributions of intent may affect physiological responding to ambiguous social situations. This study examined youths' (n = 80 aged 11-17 years; 51% female; 37.5% African American) physiological responding (i.e., heart rate [HR]) to a series of animated vignettes depicting ambiguous social situations. Anxiety, aggression, hostile attributional bias (HAB), and their interactions were tested a…
Parenting Behaviors, Parent Heart Rate Variability, and Their Associations with Adolescent Heart Rate Variability
Identity Distress Among Youth Exposed to Natural Disasters
Identity distress involves intense or prolonged upset or worry about personal identity issues including long-term goals, career choice, friendships, sexual orientation and behavior, religion, values and beliefs, and group loyalties. Research suggests that trauma exposure and subsequent PTSD symptoms may negatively impact identity development and psychological adjustment. However, little is known about their specific associations with identity dis…
The Interrelation of Adverse Childhood Experiences within an At-Risk Pediatric Sample
Natural Disasters and Existential Concerns
Existential anxiety is hypothesized to be a core human issue in a great deal of theoretical and philosophical writing. Fostering the empirical understanding of the expression of these concerns may be a valuable addition to the psychological literature on exposure to trauma. The purpose of this study was to test theoretical predictions about the association between different facets of existential anxiety and psychological symptoms (posttraumatic s…
The impact of adverse childhood experiences on an urban pediatric population
Obsessiveness and a Thematic Apperception Test-Based Measure of Aggression
Freud (1909/1955) hypothesized a conflict between love and hate in obsessive neurosis. To test this relationship, we compared a Thematic Apperception Test-based measure of aggressive fantasies in college men who scored either high or low on the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised. 64 undergraduate men from beginning classes in psychology participated. Their mean age was 19.4 yr. (SD= 1.7). 16 men with high scores had significantly higher score…
