Emotion Regulation Strategies Mediate the Associations of Positive and Negative Affect to Upper Extremity Physical Function
The Gross process model of emotion regulation holds that emotion-eliciting situations (e.g. musculoskeletal illness) can be strategically regulated to determine the final emotional and behavioral response. Also, there is some evidence that innate emotional traits may predispose an individual to a particular regulating coping style. (Source: Comprehensive Psychiatry)

Internalizing and externalizing disorders in childhood and adolescence: A latent transition analysis using ALSPAC data
Research examining the association between internalizing and externalizing dimensions of psychopathology has relied heavily on variable-centred analytical techniques. Person-centred methodologies complement the variable-centred approach, and may help explain the medium-to-large correlations that exist between higher order dimensions of psychopathology. What little person-centred research exists has been cross-sectional and utilised adult samples. The present study sought to take a person-centred approach to the modelling of psychiatric comorbidity during a key developmental phase; middle childhood through adolescence. (Sou...

Illness severity and biomarkers in depression: using a unidimensional rating scale to examine BDNF
Numerous studies have reported reduced peripheral brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in major depression (MD). However, most of these studies used multidimensional depression rating scales, and failed to identify a relationship between BDNF levels and depression severity. Unidimensional scales are a more valid measure of syndrome severity. In these scales, items are ordered in increasing severity, so that as scores increase, syndrome severity increases; thus, each item adds unique information, and items can be totaled to a meaningful sum.

The aim of this study is to identify difficulties in recognizing emotion (happiness, anger, sadness and fear) through a go/no-go task in children with different levels of ODD and CU traits.

Intermittent explosive disorder and eating disorders: Analysis of national comorbidity and research samples
Clinical presentations of eating disorders (ED) are complex and diverse, and psychiatric comorbidities are commonplace among this population. Empirical evidence suggests that aggression and anger (the emotion corresponding to aggression) [1] are associated with ED [2, 3], severity of ED symptoms [4], and poorer treatment outcomes [5]. Research also suggests that individuals with EDs have increased aggressive behaviors against others and a higher risk of self-directed anger and aggression (e.g., suicidality, self-injurious behaviors) compared to the general population [1, 6].

Reliability and Validity of the DSM-5 Anxious Distress Specifier Interview
To acknowledge the clinical significance of anxiety in depressed patients, DSM-5 included an anxious distress specifier for major depressive disorder (MDD). In the present report we describe the reliability and validity of a semi-structured interview assessing the features of the anxious distress specifier. Our goal was to develop an instrument that could be used for both diagnostic and outcome measurement purposes. (Source: Comprehensive Psychiatry)
