Little work has been conducted that examines the effects of positive environmental experiences on brain development to date. The aim this study was prospectively investigate (warm and supportive) maternal behavior structural during adolescence, using longitudinal MRI. Participants were 188 (92 female) adolescents, who part a adolescent involved mother–adolescent interactions MRI scans at approximately 12 years old, follow-up 4 later. FreeSurfer software used estimate volume limbic-striatal...
Emotional inertia refers to the degree which a person's current emotional state is predicted by their prior state, reflecting how much it carries over from one moment next.Recently, in crosssectional study, we showed that high an important characteristic of emotion dynamics observed psychological maladjustment such as depression.In present examined whether prospectively predicts onset first-episode depression during adolescence.Emotional was assessed sample early adolescents (N=165) based on...
This study examined the relations among maternal socialization of positive affect (PA), adolescent emotion regulation (ER), and depressive symptoms. Two hundred early adolescents, 11–13 years old, provided self‐reports ER strategies symptomatology; their mothers responses to PA. One sixty‐three mother–adolescent dyads participated in 2 interaction tasks. Adolescents whose responded an invalidating or “dampening” manner toward PA displayed more emotionally dysregulated behaviors reported...

Abstract Stigma is a well‐documented concern of people living with mental illness. Through the use novel exploratory structural equation modelling (ESEM) methods, we aimed to elucidate structure stigma as measured by two scales (the Depression Scale and Social Distance Scale), establish dimensions towards range disorders compare levels on these between respondent subgroups. We used data from Australian national surveys, one general community aged 15+ another youths 15–25. responses were...

Event-planning (EPI) problem-solving (PSI) were observed in 163 mother–adolescent dyads, adolescents also provided a self-report ER responses symptoms. Sequential analyses tasks indicated that with more likely to reciprocate affective behaviors. Adolescents whose mothers displayed less...
It has been suggested that biological factors confer increased sensitivity to environmental influences on depressive symptoms during adolescence, a crucial time for the onset of disorders. Given critical role hippocampus in stress and processing contextual aspects environment, investigation its determining context seems warranted. This study prospectively examined hippocampal volume as measure influence aggressive maternal behavior change from early midadolescence. The interaction between...
In this study, we investigated the prospective relationship between maternal behaviors observed during mother-adolescent interactions and onset of major depressive disorder (MDD) early late adolescence (ages 12–18). Maternal expressions emotion responses to their child’s were both examined. Results demonstrated that higher rates aggressive behavior lower positive prospectively predicted MDD across adolescence. addition, negative (i.e., dysphoric) adolescents’ onset. dysphoric way mothers...
Background: Depression and anxiety disorders are significant contributors to burden of disease in young people, highlighting the need focus preventive efforts early life. Despite substantial evidence for role parents prevention adolescent depression disorders, there remains a translation this into parenting interventions. To address gap, we developed single-session, Web-based, tailored psychoeducation intervention that aims improve practices known influence development disorders. Objective:...
