  • longitudinal relations of children s effortful control impulsivity and negative emotionality to their externalizing internalizing and co occurring behavior problems
    Developmental Psychology, 2009
    Co-Authors: Tracy L Spinrad, Mark Reiser, Amanda Cumberland, Qing Zhou, Jeffrey Liew, Sandra H Losoya
    Abstract:

    In recent years, there has been increasing evidence of concurrent and longitudinal relations between children’s temperamental characteristics and their Maladjustment (Rothbart & Bates, 2006). However, in most of this research, investigators have not differentiated between effortful components of temperamentally based self-regulation (effortful control) and reactive control–related aspects of temperament (e.g., impulsivity), or among various negative emotions. In addition, investigators often have used continuous measures of internalizing or externalizing problem behavior so findings relevant to borderline or clinical levels of problem behaviors were not examined, and issues pertaining to co-occurring symptoms or comorbidity, as indexed in many studies, were not considered. In the present study, relations of effortful control, impulsivity, anger, and sadness to contemporaneous and future externalizing and internalizing problems (co-occurring or pure), as well as to change or stability in Maladjustment status, were examined in a 4-year longitudinal study.

  • longitudinal relations of children s effortful control impulsivity and negative emotionality to their externalizing internalizing and co occurring behavior problems
    Developmental Psychology, 2009
    Co-Authors: Nancy Eisenberg, Tracy L Spinrad, Mark Reiser, Amanda Cumberland, Qing Zhou, Jeffrey Liew, Sandra H Losoya
    Abstract:

    The purpose of the study was to examine the relations of effortful control (EC), impulsivity, and negative emotionality to at least borderline clinical levels of symptoms and change in Maladjustment over four years. Children's (N = 214; 77% European American; M age = 73 months) externalizing and internalizing symptoms were rated by parents and teachers at 3 times, 2 years apart (T1, T2, and T3) and were related to children's adult-rated EC, impulsivity, and emotion. In addition, the authors found patterns of change in Maladjustment were related to these variables at T3 while controlling for the T1 predictor. Externalizing problems (pure or co-occurring with internalizing problems) were associated with low EC, high impulsivity, and negative emotionality, especially anger, and patterns of change also related to these variables. Internalizing problems were associated with low impulsivity and sadness and somewhat with high anger. Low attentional EC was related to internalizing problems only in regard to change in Maladjustment. Change in impulsivity was associated with change in internalizing primarily when controlling for change in externalizing problems.

  • peer rejection victimization and relational self system processes in adolescence toward a transactional model of stress coping and developing sensitivities
    Child Development Perspectives, 2016
    Co-Authors: Melanie J Zimmergembeck
    Abstract:

    Rejection and victimization by peers are significant stressors in the lives of many teenagers; both are highly salient and associated with developing symptoms of depression and anxiety. Conversely, emotional Maladjustment can result in even more rejection and victimization over time. Given that rejection or victimization and emotional Maladjustment mutually influence each other over time, researchers have asked why this occurs and how events unfold in adolescents’ lives. In this article, I describe relational self-system processes, including perceptions of peer relationships, sensitivity to rejection, attributions of cause, perceived control, and coping responses. I conclude with ideas for research and ways to apply the findings.

  • relational victimization loneliness and depressive symptoms indirect associations via self and peer reports of rejection sensitivity
    Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 2014
    Co-Authors: Melanie J Zimmergembeck, Sarah Trevaskis, Drew Nesdale, Geraldine Downey
    Abstract:

    Theory suggests that aversive social experiences generate emotional Maladjustment because they prompt the development of a hypersensitivity to perceiving and overreacting to rejection. The primary aim of this study was to test hypothesized direct and indirect (via rejection sensitivity) links of overt/relational victimization and friendship conflict with early adolescents’ loneliness and depressive symptoms. Participants were 366 Australian early adolescents age 10–14 years (50.5 % girls). Using both a self-report and peer-report measure of rejection sensitivity, no difference was found when comparing the significant correlations of each measure with loneliness and depressive symptoms. Tests of direct and indirect associations with structural equation modeling showed that adolescents higher in relational victimization reported more loneliness and depressive symptoms and part of this association was by way of their greater self-reports of rejection sensitivity and their peers’ identification that they were higher in rejection sensitivity. Additionally, relational victimization was the only unique correlate of emotional Maladjustment, and adolescents who reported more overt victimization were identified by their peers as higher in rejection sensitivity. Finally, gender and rejection sensitivity were tested as moderators. No gender moderation was found, but friendship conflict was associated more strongly with emotional Maladjustment for adolescents low, rather than high, in rejection sensitivity. These findings identify relational victimization as particularly salient for emotional Maladjustment both directly and indirectly via links with elevated rejection sensitivity. They show how rejection sensitivity and aversive experiences may contribute independently and jointly to emotional Maladjustment for both boys and girls.

  • community violence exposure and children s social adjustment in the school peer group the mediating roles of emotion regulation and social cognition
    Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 2000
    Co-Authors: David Schwartz, Laura J Proctor
    Abstract:

    This study reports a cross-sectional investigation of the relation between community violence exposure and peer group social Maladjustment in 285 inner-city children in Grades 4-6 (mean age = 10.3 years). Children completed an inventory assessing exposure to community violence through witnessing and through direct victimization. A peer nomination inventory was then administered to assess social adjustment with peers (aggression, peer rejection, and bullying by peers). In addition, social-cognitive biases and emotion regulation capacities were examined as potential mediators. Analyses indicated that violent victimization was associated with negative social outcomes through the mediation of emotion dysregulation. Witnessed violence was linked only to aggressive behavior. Social information processing, rather than emotion dysregulation, appeared to mediate this association. These results demonstrate that violence exposure is linked to multiple levels of behavioral and social Maladjustment and suggest that there are distinct patterns of risk associated with different forms of exposure.
