Abstract This study examined the mediating role of emotion dysregulation in relation between retrospective reports childhood emotional maltreatment and current satisfaction a romantic relationship. Participants included 492 (135 male, 357 female) young adults relationships. Results indicated that total regulation difficulties mediated relationship satisfaction. Multiple mediator analyses nonacceptance responses, impulse control difficulties, lack clarity uniquely this when controlling for...
To examine the feasibility and acceptability of augmenting family-based treatment (FBT) for adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN) or atypical (AAN) a parent emotion coaching intervention (EC) focused on reducing expressed emotion.
The present study examined the association between retrospective reports of paternal parentification and self-reports romantic relationship satisfaction insecurity among a sample 542 college women (mean age = 19.29 years). Results indicated that is negatively associated with positively undergraduate women, after controlling for levels maternal parentification. These direct relationships were mediated by insecure adult attachment styles, including attachment-related avoidance anxiety....
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a behavior of increasing prevalence in adolescents with links to various negative mental health and adjustment outcomes. Poor emotion expression has been linked NSSI use, whereas the use adaptive coping strategies identified as protective factor against NSSI. The current study examined whether specific moderate relation between poor NSSI, moderation conditional on adolescent gender. Ninety-five hospitalized an acute care inpatient psychiatric unit completed...
Like many forage fish species, Pacific sand lance ( Ammodytes personatus ) play a key role in nearshore marine ecosystems as an important prey source for diverse array of predators the northeastern Pacific. However, primary threats to and their habitat are poorly defined due lack systematic data. Crucial information needed assess population status is also lacking including basic knowledge local regional abundance distribution. Sand currently listed ‘not evaluated’ under IUCN red list they...
Grounded in Emotional Security Theory (Cummings & Davies, 1994), the present study examined unique role of parenting stress transmission conflict from intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization to observed emotionally unsupportive behavior (i.e., hostility, psychological control, emotional unavailability) within a community sample. Participants included 64 demographically diverse mother-child dyads (children 8-11 years). Through comparison 2 models, indirect effects (mediation) and...
Emotional maltreatment is associated with detrimental outcomes in youth, yet research investigating its phenomenology, prevalence, and detection has lagged behind that other forms of maltreatment. Researchers, practitioners, policymakers are challenged by how best to address identify emotional childhood, given the indicators often less overt than those seen sexual or physical abuse. These challenges also relevant for professionals legally mandated report incidences child The goals this...
Parks, D.; Shaffer, A., and Barry, D., 2013. Nearshore drift-cell sediment processes ecological function for forage fish: implications restoration of impaired Pacific Northwest marine ecosystems.Sediment erosion, transport, deposition play an important role in nearshore ecosystem function, including forming suitable habitats fish spawning. Disruption is often assumed to result but seldom assessed the field. In this study we observed characteristics intertidal beaches three coastal drift...
This article characterizes the design, recruitment, methodology, participant characteristics, and preliminary feasibility acceptability of Families Ending Eating Disorders (FEED) open pilot study. FEED augments family-based treatment (FBT) for adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN) atypical (AAN) an emotion coaching (EC) group parents (i.e., FBT + EC). We targeted families high in critical comments low warmth (assessed by Five-Minute Speech Sample), known predictors poor response FBT....
Abstract North‐east Pacific juvenile salmon and forage fishes, including the endangered species Chinook ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ), coho kisutch chum keta pink gorbuscha fishes of herring Clupea pallasi surf smelt Hypomesus pretiosus sand lance Ammodytes hexapterus utilize kelp environments. Many details forest ecosystem function for these are lacking. Kelp forests, salmon, declining precipitously as global climate shifts developments along coastal shorelines expand. It is therefore...
This study examined profiles of specific emotion deficits, including poor awareness, reluctance to express emotion, sadness inhibition and dysregulation, anger dysregulation. Self-report questionnaires assessed adolescents' skills nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) engagement, frequency, severity, methods, age onset. Latent profile analysis yielded a three-profile solution: Low Deficit (LD; n = 49), Unaware/Anger Dysregulated (UAD; 24), Anger Inhibited (AI; 20) profiles. Adolescents in the UAD...
Dating violence has been linked to past experiences of childhood emotional abuse; however, little research explored how stress reactivity functions within interpersonal relationships amplify or attenuate these associations. The present study investigated the moderating effects cortisol on associations between retrospective self-reported abuse and later in young adult dating relationships. current sample consisted 57 heterosexual partners (46 females, 11 males) ages 18 24. Salivary samples...
Family-based therapy (FBT) is the gold standard of treatment for adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN) and has shown to be more effective than other forms in several randomized controlled trials. However, FBT a behaviorally based intervention that does not explicitly address emotional distress often exhibited by patients their parents. This case study describes 14-year-old adolescent male AN using as primary modality. We also implemented an adjunctive designed parents’ emotion communication...
This study used a diverse community sample to test moderated mediation model, investigating maternal depressive symptoms as mediator of the relations between emotional maltreatment and child behavior problems; we further tested moderating effects observed hostility on these relations. Participants included 64 mother–child dyads (8–11 years old; 59.4% female), in which mothers completed self- child-report measures conflict resolution task. Results analysis (PROCESS; Hayes, 2013) indicated...
Abstract Objective The study explores the associations among parental depressive symptoms, child symptoms of psychopathology, emotion socialization (ES), and parenting‐specific regulation (ER) using a novel measure, Regulating Emotions in Parenting Scale (REPS). Background There is notable correlation between psychopathology children. Empirical studies have also observed intergenerational patterns ER, as well their relations to ES. Investigating these nonclinical samples vital for...
