Adolescent and Parent Perceptions of Legitimacy of Parental Authority
Perceptions of the legitimacy of parental authority (LoPA) reflect the degree to which parents and adolescents believe parental control over an adolescent’s behavior is appropriate. LoPA may impact the level of autonomy granted to adolescents and adolescents’ compliance with parental demands and rules. Although low perceived LoPA has consistently been linked to increased externalizing symptoms, the association with internalizing symptoms is less …
Mindfulness Training for New Nursing Students Improves Stress Resilience and Well-Being
BACKGROUND: First-year nursing students need support to mitigate the effects of stress to improve the health and consistency of the student-to-professional pathway, addressing critical workforce shortages. Yet, evidence-based wellness interventions are underdeveloped and understudied for this population. METHOD: = 33, mean age = 22.16, 94% female-identifying students). RESULTS: Multilevel modeling for repeated measures data revealed increased use…
An Emotional and Physical Health Profile of Students Enrolled in a Public Nursing Program
Background This study aimed to analyze the health status of northeastern U.S. baccalaureate nursing students. Method The sample for this cross-sectional analysis included 292 nursing students. Matriculated full- and part-time nursing students were invited to participate. Most of the sample represented individuals identifying as White, heterosexual women younger than age 25 years who lived off campus. Students across all 4 years of school were at …
Thrive and Flourish
BACKGROUND: Nursing students report high rates of perceived stress and burnout. The compounded effect of adverse childhood experiences and the lingering trauma of the corona-virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic heightens the risk of mental health issues against the backdrop of a global nursing profession already grappling with shortages, burnout, and inadequate staffing. METHOD: An evidence-based educational innovation was designed for first-ye…
Non-Suicidal Self-Injury and Depressive Symptoms During Adolescence
As risk for both non-suicidal self-injury and depression increases at adolescence, it is critically important to clarify equivocal findings regarding the temporal ordering of these health concerns. Addressing the limitations of past research, which included the use of only two data waves and analyses that do not account for within-person variance, the aim in this study was to examine the temporal ordering of non-suicidal self-injury and depressiv…
More benefits than costs
Co-rumination, or excessive problem talk within a dyadic relationship, has been suggested to have both costs and benefits; it has been associated with both increased depressive symptoms and higher friendship quality. Although previous research has shown moderate concurrent and longitudinal associations between co-rumination, depressive symptoms, and friendship quality, it is unclear whether these processes also take place at the within-person lev…
Friends’ discussions of interpersonal and noninterpersonal problems during early and middle adolescence
Friendships are important sources of support during adolescence. However, a growing literature indicates some adolescents co-ruminate, or talk with friends about problems in a way that is excessive, speculative, and negatively focused, which confers risk for internalizing problems. Still, previous research had not examined the types of problems co-ruminators discuss. Using self-reported co-rumination and observations of friends’ conversation abou…
Emotion regulation deficits and depression-related maladaptive interpersonal behaviours
Coyne’s interpersonal theory of depression posits that those with depressive symptoms engage in maladaptive interpersonal behaviours that, although intended to assuage distress, push away social supports and increase depressive symptoms (Coyne, 1976). Excessive reassurance seeking, negative feedback seeking, and conversational self-focus are three behaviours implicated in Coyne’s theory, yet their correlates- apart from depressive symptoms- are p…
Suicidal Mental Imagery
Rates of suicidal ideation and behavior are high and increasing in emerging adulthood. Research focused on suicidal ideation as a predictor of suicidal behavior has nearly exclusively conceptualized suicidal ideation as verbal thoughts about suicide. Emerging research suggests, however, that mentally imagining suicide may be even more impairing than verbal thoughts about suicide. Thirty-nine emerging adults with a lifetime history of suicidal cog…
Relations of friendship experiences with depressive symptoms and loneliness in childhood and adolescence
Well-established psychological theories indicate that interpersonal relationships and emotional well-being are linked in fundamental ways (Coyne, 1976; Sullivan, 1953). Indeed, difficulties in close relationships can contribute to emotional adjustment problems, and emotional problems can adversely affect close relationships. Moreover, different close relationships are especially significant in terms of development and adjustment at different stag…
Ethical considerations for psychologists in the time of Covid-19
Psychologists are in a position to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic through research, practice, education, and advocacy. However, concerns exist about the ethical implications associated with transitioning from face-to-face to online or virtual formats as necessitated by stay-at-home orders designed to enforce the social distancing required to flatten the curve of new COVID-19 cases. The purpose of this article is to review potential ethical issu…
Girls’ and boys’ problem talk
This research highlights the critical role of gender in the context of problem talk and social support in adolescents' friendships. Early- and middle-adolescents' (N = 314 friend dyads; Ms = 13.01 and 16.03 years) conversations about problems were studied using observation and a short-term longitudinal design. Mean-level gender differences emerged in that girls participated in problem talk more than boys and responded in a more positive and engag…
An observational study of co-rumination in adolescent friendships
Co-rumination is a dyadic process between relationship partners that refers to excessively discussing problems, rehashing problems, speculating about problems, mutual encouragement of problem talk, and dwelling on negative affect. Although studies have addressed youths' tendency to co-ruminate, little is known about the nature of co-ruminative conversations. The primary goal of the present study (N = 314 adolescent friend dyads) was to identify m…
Co-rumination mediates contagion of internalizing symptoms within youths' friendships
Peer contagion of internalizing symptoms was examined within youths' friendships over 6 months. Children (Grades 3 and 5) and adolescents (Grades 7 and 9) paired in 274 reciprocal same-sex friendship dyads completed measures of depressive and anxiety symptoms, co-rumination, and self-disclosure. Depression contagion was present for all youth, and anxiety contagion was found in the sample of girls and older boys. Although normative self-disclosure…

Relational and Overt Aggression in Childhood and Adolescence
Research on relational aggression has drawn attention to how girls may be likely to aggress, but the role of gender is not fully understood. There are opposing views regarding whether relational aggression is most common among girls. Current findings demonstrate that when gender differences in relational aggression are assessed with peer nominations, gender differences favoring girls are more likely: a) in adolescence than childhood and b) when s…
