Loneliness has been found to predict a wide range of physical and mental health problems. It is suggested that China's One‐Child Policy places young Chinese people at particularly high risk for loneliness. Although loneliness most prevalent in late adolescence early adulthood, interventions have primarily targeted children or older adults with limited success. The current study examines pilot randomized controlled trial mindfulness training program among college students. Participants...

Background: Parental expressed emotion (EE), which assesses parent attitudes of criticism (CRIT) and over-involvement (EOI), has gained increasing attention in child adolescent psychiatry. However, the role EE parents with anxiety disorders remains unclear. Longitudinal research is scarce regarding whether parental predicts trajectories parenting behaviors, such as warmth discipline consistency, from childhood to adolescence offspring without pre-existing disorders.Methods: A total 132 (81%...

Adolescence is a neuroplastic period for self-processing and emotion regulation transformations, that if derailed, are linked to persistent depression. Neural mechanisms of adolescent ought be targeted via new treatments, given moderate effectiveness current interventions. Thus, we implemented novel neurofeedback protocol in adolescents test the engagement circuits sub-serving regulation. Depressed (n = 34) healthy 19) underwent training using task. They saw their happy face as cue recall...

Culture plays an important role in the development of mental health, especially during childhood and adolescence. However, less is known about how participation cultural rituals related to wellbeing youth who are Black, Indigenous, People Color (BIPOC), part Global Majority. This crucial amid COVID-19 pandemic, a global event that has disproportionally affected BIPOC disrupted rituals. The goal this paper promote advances clinical child adolescent psychology focused on We begin by defining...

Children of combat deployed parents are at risk behavioral problems. Parental emotion socialization (PES) has been theorized to influence children's behaviors; many studies lend support this theory. However, longitudinal examining PES with experimental designs sparse. In study, we estimated growth trajectories following a parenting intervention and evaluated whether induced improvements in predict child outcomes postdeployed military families. National Guard/Reserve families least one parent...

Given the prevalence of adolescent depression and modest effects current treatments, research ought to inform development effective intervention strategies. Self-compassion is inversely associated with depression, self-compassion interventions have demonstrated promising on reducing depression. However, little known about neural mechanisms underlying that relationship. Maladaptive self-processing a characteristic contributes onset chronicity Because our own face an automatic direct cue for...

Abstract Although children who experience the death of a parent have heightened risk suicidality, long‐term associations between grief and suicidality among bereaved youth yet to be examined. Research is needed test specific aspects associated with after controlling for other factors, in this population. Grief covariates, including age, gender, parental cause death, time since depression, anxiety, internalizing problems, posttraumatic stress symptoms, child treatment involvement, were...

Military deployment of a parent is risk factor for children's internalizing and externalizing problems. This may be heightened in National Guard Reserve (NG/R) families who tend to isolated from other NG/R do not benefit the centralized support system available active duty living on military bases. Isolation trauma-related disorders complicate adjustment during reintegration. An evidence-based training intervention was modified meet unique needs recently deployed parents their spouses,...

Adolescent depression is prevalent, debilitating, and associated with chronic lifetime mental health disorders. Understanding the neurobiology of critical to developing novel treatments. We tested a neurofeedback protocol targeting emotional regulation self-processing circuitry examined brain activity reduced symptom severity, as measured through self-report questionnaires, four hours after neurofeedback. Depressed (n = 34) healthy 19) adolescents participated in (i) brief task that involves...

Abstract Deployment to war is associated with disruptions emotion regulation and parenting. Using data from a randomized controlled trial, we examined whether fathers poorer would differentially benefit the After Deployment, Adaptive Parenting Tools program, 14-session group-based parenting intervention. Prior analyses of intervention demonstrated benefits observed couple children's adjustment, but not fathers’ In this study effects on distress avoidance were moderated by baseline...

Children who experience parental death are at increased risk for suicide. The Family Bereavement Program (FBP) is an upstream preventive intervention parentally bereaved families that was found to reduce suicide in youth up 6 and 15 years later. We tested whether FBP-induced improvements effective parenting led changes multiple proximal factors prior theory research implicated the cascading pathway risk, namely, aversive self-views, caregiver connectedness, peer complicated grief, depressive...

Abstract Background While many studies have investigated the sociodemographic, clinical, and psychosocial factors associated with perceived positive change after cancer, longitudinal work examining how emotion regulation, resilience impact perceptions of life among newly diagnosed cancer survivors is lacking. Purpose This study examined prevalence negative changes following explored role regulation on over 6 months. Methods Data from 534 recent breast, prostate, or colorectal (Mage = 59.3,...

To explore dyadic associations between mindfulness and marital quality gender differences in these associations-that is, the relation of each dyad member's with his or her own partner's quality.Recent studies have demonstrated benefits for quality. However, within partners are still unclear. In addition, despite challenges associated deployment to war, military couples is yet unknown.A sample 228 following male partner recent conflicts Iraq Afghanistan completed an online survey measuring...

Prior research indicates that children of deployed parents are at risk for emotional problems, suggesting the utility preventive efforts military families. Effective parental socialization children's emotions is protective development, and experiential avoidance may impede emotion socialization, yet intervention studies in this area lacking. This study examined impact a parenting program, After Deployment Adaptive Parenting Tools (ADAPT), on postintervention (6 months postbaseline) whether...

This study examined the mediating role of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in association between deployment-related trauma exposure and parenting behaviors reserve-component military service members whether this was contingent upon parent inhibitory control (IC). Participants were 181 postdeployed fathers their children. Fathers completed a neurospychological test IC self-report measures PTSD symptoms. Measures (positive engagement reactivity coercion) obtained from direct...

Abstract Objectives Prenatal mindfulness programs can improve mental health, yet access to and cultural linguistic relevance of existing in the United States are limited for people who do not speak English and/or face major life stressors such as migration, housing instability, income, racism. In response, skills training drawn from Mindfulness-Based Childbirth Parenting (MBCP) was integrated into Medicaid-covered CenteringPregnancy (CP) group prenatal healthcare, delivered Spanish by...

Previous research has found elevated levels of psychological distress (i.e., posttraumatic stress, depressive and anxiety symptoms) among veterans. Existing theory evidence show how is associated with marital disruptions. Only a few studies, however, have tested the link between couple communication quality in military couples, most which were cross-sectional employed self-report measures. The current study investigated whether predicts changes observed across 1 year 228 couples consisting...
