Predicting children's differential trajectories of emotion dysregulation: A study on the intergenerational transmission of child and caregiver maltreatment.

Background: Child maltreatment and caregiver history of abuse is negatively associated with the development of emotion regulation, and maltreatment in early childhood may be particularly disruptive.

Objective: We examined patterns of emotion dysregulation and the contribution of caregiver victimization and early maltreatment history on the development of distinct emotion dysregulation trajectories.

Participants: The current study sample (n = 1354) came from the Longitudinal Studies of Child Abuse and Neglect (LONGSCAN), a longitudinal study of the antecedents and consequences of child maltreatment.

Working toward Socially Responsive Recruitment Practices of Psychology Interns in an Academic Medical Center.

Objective: This study describes a quality improvement (QI) process to reduce bias and increase inclusion and equity in the recruitment of health service psychology interns in an American Psychological Association-accredited psychology internship program at a national children's hospital.

Methods: This QI project utilized two Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles targeting the application review and the interview processes primarily using supervisor engagement and feedback to inform these processes. The goal of the PDSA cycles was to increase diversity in psychology doctoral interns offered interviews and ultimately recruited to the internship program.

Parenting in a Pandemic: Preliminary Support for Delivering Brief Behavioral Parent Training Through Telehealth.

Behavioral problems, such as noncompliance and aggression, are a common referral reason to mental health services for young children. Behavioral parent training (BPT) is the leading intervention for addressing behavioral problems and leads to benefits in a variety of parental factors (e.g.

Associations between dispositional parental emotion regulation and youth mental health symptoms: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Theoretical perspectives propose that parents' dispositional emotion regulation (ER) tendencies are likely associated with youth mental health concerns. The aim of the current study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between parental dispositional ER tendencies - both maladaptive and adaptive - and youth mental health symptoms. Regarding maladaptive parental ER, 32 unique studies (N = 6399) with 126 effects were included.

Maternal corticosteroids and depression during gestation and decreased fetal heart rate variability.

Objective: Maternal depression during gestation is an adverse factor in fetal brain development that manifests in later childhood behavioral problems. Fetal heart rate variability (FHRV) mediated by parasympathetic input is a marker of gestational nervous system development. Biological mediators of adverse effects of maternal depression may involve the mother's corticosteroids; however, links between depression, corticosteroids, and early nervous system development remain inconclusive.

Relationships between attention to emotion and anxiety among a community sample of adolescents.

Background: Attentional bias to threat has been implicated as a cognitive mechanism in anxiety disorders for youth. Yet, prior studies documenting this bias have largely relied on a method with questionable reliability (i.e.

Development and Application of an Innovative Transdiagnostic Treatment Approach for Pediatric Irritability.

Recent work has drawn attention to the previously underrecognized role that irritability plays in childhood psychopathology. Despite increased recognition of the clinical importance of pediatric irritability as a transdiagnostic symptom dimension, there is a lack of evidence-based treatments for this population that simultaneously and equitably addresses both child and contextual (e.g.
