  • Cannabis use during pregnancy and hemodynamic responses to infant cues in pregnancy

    Open AccessShannon Powers, Xu Han et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    Our preliminary data suggests that cannabis use during pregnancy was associated with brain activation in the regions involved in the emotional regulation and information processes. However, the results did not survive after adjustment for multiple comparisons, thus future research with larger sample sizes is needed to confirm potential differences in brain function among cannabis-using pregnant individuals

  • Silver Vessels from the Maykop Barrow (Oshad)

    Mikhail Sablin, Polina KimARTICLEStratum plus Archaeology and…2022

    In 1897 Russian archaeologist N. I. Veselovsky excavated an Early Bronze Age burial mound on the eastern outskirts of Maykop town. He found some silver vessels covered with images, made by the technique of contour embossing. Although the landscapes, flora and fauna on these objects, most likely performing a ritual function, were conveyed with a high degree of reliability, the original meaning of the images still remains a subject of controversy. …

  • Effects of childhood poverty and chronic stress on emotion regulatory brain function in adulthood

    Open AccessPolina Kim, Pilyoung Kim et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2013

    Significance Childhood poverty has been linked to emotion dysregulation, which is further associated with negative physical and psychological health in adulthood. The current study provides evidence of prospective associations between childhood poverty and adult neural activity during effortful attempts to regulate negative emotion. Adults with lower family income at age 9 exhibited reduced ventrolateral and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex activit…

  • Childhood Poverty, Chronic Stress, Self-Regulation, and Coping

    Open AccessGary W Evans, Polina Kim et al.ARTICLEChild Development Perspectives2013

    Poverty is a powerful factor that can alter lifetime developmental trajectories in cognitive, socioemotional, and physical health outcomes. Most explanatory work on the underlying psychological processes of how poverty affects development has focused on parental investment and parenting practices, principally responsiveness. Our primary objective in this article was to describe a third, complementary pathway—chronic stress and coping—that may als…

  • Childhood Poverty and Blood Pressure Reactivity to and Recovery From an Acute Stressor in Late Adolescence

    Gary W Evans, Deinera Exner‐Cortens et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2013

    OBJECTIVE: Childhood deprivation is inimical to health throughout the life course. Early experiences of stress could play a role in health inequalities. An important aspect of childhood poverty that has not received much attention is cardiovascular reactivity to and recovery from acute stressors. METHODS: Piecewise, multilevel growth curve regression was used to examine blood pressure reactivity to and recovery from a mental arithmetic task among…

  • Early Postpartum Parental Preoccupation and Positive Parenting Thoughts

    Open AccessPolina Kim, Pilyoung Kim et al.ARTICLEInfant Mental Health Journal2013Cited by: 4References: 53

    Parenting behaviors and parent–infant emotional bonding during the early postpartum months play a critical role in infant development. However, the nature and progression of parental thoughts and their relationship with interactive behaviors have received less research. The current study investigated the trajectory of parental thoughts and behaviors among primiparous mothers ( n = 18) and fathers ( n = 15) and multiparous mothers ( n = 13) and fa…

  • Multiple risk exposure as a potential explanatory mechanism for the socioeconomic status–health gradient

    Open AccessGary W Evans, Polina Kim et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the New York Academy of…2010

    The social patterning of disease and mortality provokes a search for explanation. One potential underlying explanation for socioeconomic status (SES) gradients in health is exposure to multiple risk factors. Income and class tend to sort individuals into different settings that are often accompanied by systematic differences in environmental quality. Housing and neighborhood quality, pollutants and toxins, crowding and congestion, and noise expos…

  • Childhood Poverty and Health

    Open AccessGary W Evans, Polina Kim et al.ARTICLEPsychological Science2007

    A massive literature documents the inverse association between poverty or low socioeconomic status and health, but little is known about the mechanisms underlying this robust relation. We examined longitudinal relations between duration of poverty exposure since birth, cumulative risk exposure, and physiological stress in two hundred seven 13-year-olds. Chronic stress was assessed by basal blood pressure and overnight cortisol levels; stress regu…

  • Cumulative risk, maternal responsiveness, and allostatic load among young adolescents

    Gary W Evans, Polina Kim et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2007Cited by: 40References: 6

    The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of cumulative risk exposure in concert with maternal responsiveness on physiological indicators of chronic stress in children and youth. Middle-school children exposed to greater accumulated psychosocial (e.g., family turmoil, poverty) and physical (e.g., crowding, substandard housing) risk factors manifested higher levels of allostatic load, a physiological marker of cumulative wear and tear on…
