Background: The high comorbidity between depressive and anxiety disorders, especially among females, has called into question the independence of these two symptom groups. It is possible that childhood typically precedes depression in girls. Comparing predictive utility symptoms with from early to adolescence needed test this hypothesis. Methods: Data a population‐based sample 2,451 girls were used examine age‐related changes year‐to‐year stability within across major depression, separation...
Overgeneral autobiographical memory (AM), the tendency to recall categories of events when asked provide specific instances from one's life, is purported be a marker depression vulnerability that develops in childhood. Although early adolescence period risk for onset especially among girls, prospective examination this putative factor lacking. The current study examined associations between AM and depressive symptomatology an enriched community sample predominantly African American girls....
Various developmental models have attempted to explain the relationship between antisocial behavior and depressive symptoms in youth, often proposing intermediary processes such as social academic functioning. However, few studies tested these fully, particularly mixed‐gender samples. The current study strives fill this gap literature, examining an early adolescent sample. Results indicated both direct indirect paths depression. In addition, potentially important gender differences were...
We examine the complex relations among therapeutic alliance, adherence to Supportive-Expressive Therapy (SET), therapist competence, and their interactions in predicting change drug use. Experts rated early therapy sessions of cocaine dependent patients (n 108) randomized SET as part Collaborative Cocaine Treatment Study. Moderate competent delivery were separately associated with poorer outcome. Further, strong alliance combined low levels was a better outcome than moderate or high levels....
Maternal depression is associated with problematic parenting and the development of emotional behavior problems in children adolescents. While regulatory abilities are likely to influence exchanges between parents teens, surprisingly little known about role emotion regulation during parent-child interactions, particularly high-risk families.

This study examines the effect of Family Check Up (FCU) intervention on probability arrests from age 12 to 17 years for youth following heterogeneous developmental trajectories antisocial behavior. Latent Growth Mixture Modeling results supported presence three arrests, including a large group with few police contacts, smaller showing early‐onset and chronic Adolescent‐Onset arrests. In line hypotheses, effects were seen within group, but not in arrest trajectory or those little contact. The...
Recent research has highlighted the potential role of attention bias for emotional stimuli as a possible cognitive risk factor depression in youth. However, differences youth emotion regulation or maternal affect may moderate association between and biases.

Mother–child interactions can be emotionally charged, particularly when mothers experience difficulties with depression. Further, variation in the tone of such has been linked to youth functioning. Yet, little is known about role emotion regulatory processes during mother–child interactions. This study examined negative affective transactions between and across 5-min conflict fun-activity planning discussions, relation depressive symptoms maternal respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA).

However, the questions how, why, when, where these occur are in need greater attention. With contributions from leading researchers field, editors this book address 3 main research areas concerning: (1) mechanisms driving peer influence, (2) variables that moderate influences, (3) various contexts which occur....
Little is known about how family factors impacting treatment adherence in type 1 diabetes are directly associated with unplanned healthcare utilization (e.g., emergency room visits and hospital admissions). Given the substantial financial burden of diabetes, understanding predictors particular important to inform behavioral interventions aimed toward improving adherence.The current study examined relationship between family-level variables a sample 239 youth their parents. Healthcare was...
