Sexual minority individuals experience significant mental health disparities compared to the overall population, including significantly increased risk for suicide. This disparity is partially explained through the interconnected...
The purpose of the present study is to examine the utility of the Systematic Observation of Red Flags (SORF; Dow et al., 2016) as a level two screener for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in toddlers when applied to a naturalistic video...
Mathematical thinking is in high demand in the global market, but compared to their international peers, U.S. school children fail to meet math performance benchmarks. This is especially problematic, given that early math skills predict...
Cognitive control (‘executive’) processes have been implicated in a broad range of psychological problems including anxiety and externalizing conditions. However, limited research has examined the effects of external stressors (i.e., ...
The dual-pathway model (Sonuga-Barke, 2002, 2003) proposes Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) develops along two distinct but interrelated developmental pathways, a cognitive pathway of inhibitory control (IC) deficits and a...
Children with ADHD show impairments in set shifting task performance. However, directly training shifting has not improved task performance in this population. We hypothesized that this incongruence may be because the impairments...
Shifting, or cognitive flexibility, is a core executive function (EF) involving the ability to flexibly shift back and forth between tasks or mental sets (Miyake et al., 2012). Meta-analysis suggests that shifting may be impaired in ADHD...
Recent research suggests that stress and reward insensitivity may interact to confer risk for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). However, no study has yet examined stress and reward sensitivity, and their interaction, in the context of...
Increased stress and blunted reward processing are important risk factors and correlates of Major Depressive Disorder. The experience of acute stress has been shown to reduced fMRI correlates of reward processing; however, few studies...
The error-related negativity (ERN), a fronto-centrally maximal negative deflection within 100 ms of error commission, reflects individual differences in the sensitivity to making mistakes and has been linked with some anxiety-related...
The Eating Disorder Inventory provides a theoretically informed multidimensional assessment of eating disorder symptoms and associated psychological factors, including Perfectionism, Maturity Fears, and Interpersonal Distrust. Research...
Perfectionism has important implications for self-worth, personal standards, and psychopathology. The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of a novel two-week, computerized, exposure-based treatment for perfectionism (ETP). Seventy...
Externalizing behaviors are associated with poor academic outcomes in community-based samples of children as young as preschool-age. However, there remains debate as to which specific externalizing dimensions link externalizing behaviors...
Extant research suggests that safety behaviors (SBs) may be relevant to the development and maintenance of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive psychopathology; yet, their contribution to other forms of psychopathology, such as disorders of...
Although most researchers agree that memory is made up of separable components, there are a number of conflicting theoretical models of memory. Specifically, there remains debate as to whether working memory resources are best described...
Throughout the literature, there is a well-documented discrepancy between rating of children's behaviors across different informants, typically parents and teachers. Many different theories have been investigated to address the root of...
Inconsistent evidence suggests that pediatric ADHD may be associated with impairments in the ability to use context clues to infer the emotion states of others. However, the evidence base for these impairments is comprised of data from...
Callousness is a personality trait that encompasses a lack of guilt and remorse, shallow affect, deficient affiliative tendencies (Frick, Ray, Thorton, & Kahn, 2014; Patrick & Drislane, 2015), and is associated with abnormalities in...
Objective: Difficulties with emotion regulation underlie emotional and behavioral problems as well as psychiatric comorbidity in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), yet very little is known about the early development of emotion...
Types of social media behaviors, including active or passive social media use, may have an influence on mental health outcomes (Aalbers et al., 2019; Verduyn et al., 2015). The impact of social media use may be particularly relevant to...
The 'simple view of reading' is an influential model of reading comprehension which asserts that children's reading comprehension performance can be explained entirely by their decoding and language comprehension skills. Children with...
Approximately 12% of adults in the United States will experience social anxiety disorder (SAD) at some point in their lifetime. Individuals with SAD commonly engage in safety behaviors (SBs), which are behavioral and cognitive strategies...
Suicide is a serious public health concern, killing more than 45, 000 Americans, annually. To guide research, treatment, and prevention efforts, researchers have proposed many theories of suicide. Among theories, the Interpersonal Theory...
Bridging Personality and Neurobiology in the Study of Psychopathology: Interfacing the Five Factor Model of Personality with the Triarchic Neurobehavioral Trait Framework
Personality trait approaches have proven highly valuable in the study of mental health problems, but their value could be enhanced by interfacing trait constructs more clearly with variables in the domain of biology. The current research...
Reward-processing research utilizing event-related potentials (ERPs) has helped to refine conceptualizations of internalizing psychopathology over time. Leveraging the millisecond-level temporal resolution of ERP measures, this line of...
Considerable evidence has been accumulated on the risk factors associated with ADHD, but little is known about the minority of children with ADHD who may be flourishing despite this neurodevelopmental risk. The present multi-informant...
A Pilot Randomized Control Trial of a Conditioning Paradigm to Increase Affinity for Sacredneses of Life and Decreasee Experiences of Suicide-Related Thoughts and Behaviors
Suicide-related experiences are a form of self-directed violence that affects millions of people every year. Through decades of research, interventions targeting these experiences have developed with varied empirical support. However, ...
The broad goal of this paper was to examine how perception of gratitude affects perception of status. Across three studies participants rated their perception of a target person’s gratitude, status, positivity, and other variables. Three...
Understanding the impact of affective information on cognitive processing is relevant to conceptualizations of fearful traits and clinical problems (e.g. anxiety disorders). Previous work has shown that threat cueing reliably activates...
The error-related negativity (ERN) is an event-related potential component related to risk for anxious and obsessive-compulsive pathologies. Self-reported clinical perfectionism and the ERN may represent multimodal indices of an...
Internalizing disorders are a broad category of psychopathology in children characterized by children's reactions to stress that occur within the self, such as emotional distress related to feelings of anxiety and depression....
