Summary Sleep loss is associated with affective disturbances and disorders; however, there limited understanding of specific mechanisms underlying these links, especially in adolescence. The current study tested the effects sleep restriction versus idealized on adolescents’ emotional experience, reactivity regulation (specifically cognitive reappraisal). Following 1 week monitoring, healthy adolescents ( n = 42; ages 13–17 years) were randomized to night (4 h) or (9.5 h). following day,...

Abstract Feeling connected with others and experiencing positive interpersonal interactions is associated physical health psychological functioning. Despite the importance of social experiences, experimental studies investigating how sleep impacts connections experiences are limited. The current study sought to examine loss impacted motivation emotions. Healthy emerging adults (N = 53; 83% female, ages 18–28 years) were randomly assigned one night restriction (4h time in bed) or typical (8 h...

Abstract. Research suggests that sharing positive events with others is beneficial for well-being, yet little known about how are shared and who most likely to share their events. The current study expanded on previous research by investigating individual differences in people these Participants (N = 251) reported likelihood three ways: capitalizing (sharing close others), bragging someone may become jealous or upset), mass-sharing many at once using communication technology) across a range...

We tested the hypothesis that less effective responses during a cognitive challenge would relate to higher levels of self-reported rumination in children. The sample was 100 children (55 boys, 45 girls), aged 7 14 years. A portion (n=65) at high risk for depression due having parent with childhood-onset mood disorder, and 35 were low-risk comparison group. Using an impossible puzzle task, we assessed children's following failure across several domains: emotions (expressed anger, sadness,...

Abstract Organized activities represent a potentially important context for the development of adolescent sociopolitical values, but few studies have examined longitudinal associations between youths’ values and activity involvement. Adolescents ( N = 299, Time 1 M age 15.49, SD .93, 62% female) reported on their organized involvement (volunteering, church, sports, arts/music, school community clubs) (materialism, social dominance, authoritarianism, patriotism, spirituality) at baseline one...

Summary Poor sleep in youth is a risk factor for experiencing increased negative emotions and decreased positive emotions, which can contribute to the development of later emotional disorders. Understanding specific processes that produce sleep‐related alterations emotion limited, although preliminary studies suggest changes ability appropriately regulate or control as one mechanism. The current study builds on this research by examining relationship between adolescent patterns previously...

Positive affect is important for well-being, yet little known about individual differences in the ability to up-regulate (savor) positive emotions. In a sample of 120 adults (ages 18–94; 62.5% female), this study extends correlational work by examining how attachment relates self-reported savoring and an experimentally-induced behavioral task where participants were randomly assigned reflect on event (or complete control task). Avoidance was related lower trait savoring, effects differed...

Studies in adults suggest that sleep disturbances predict poorer socioemotional skills and impaired social interactions. However, little is known regarding how are associated with processes during adolescence, a period when both neurobiology relationships undergoing dramatic developmental changes. The current study examined associations among peer connectedness sample of middle‐school students ( N = 213, 11–15 years old, 57% female) using network approach. Findings suggested youth greater...

Abstract Introduction Between 70-90% of teenagers in the United States sleep fewer than minimum recommendation 8 hours per night, which can result a number downstream physical and psychological consequences. Prior studies show there are individual differences how adults prioritize think about benefits adequate sleep, turn predicts behaviors health. However, research is lacking on attitudes adolescents these may relate to behaviors. Methods Participants included 649 from across (ages 13-18...

Sleep problems are associated with the development of emotional disorders such as depression, yet specific processes impacted by sleep still poorly understood. Situation selection is a relatively understudied category emotion regulation strategies that involves approaching or avoiding particular situations (Gross, 1998), which minimizes opportunities for undesirable emotions increases positive ones. The present study examined relationship between adolescent and situation selection....

Abstract Introduction Increased slow-wave activity (SWA) following sleep loss is a well-established physiological marker of increased pressure. Recent research found SWA changes in response to partially accounted for next-day decrements positive affect (Finan et al., 2015; 2017). To our knowledge, however, this line inquiry has been limited adults. Recently, we greater during night healthy predicted emotion among pre-pubertal children (Rech 2022). Here, explored whether the second two nights...
