Deviant peer affiliation, self-control, and aggression during early adolescence: within-person effects and between-person differences
AbstractAbundant studies have explored the relations among deviant peer affiliation, self-control, and aggression without separating within-person from between-person effects. Moreover, it is unclear whether self-control mediates the associations between deviant peer affiliation and aggression during early adolescence. This longitudinal study used Random Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel Model to examine the dynamic relations among deviant peer affiliation, self-control, and aggression within individuals, including examining whether self-control mediated the relations between deviant peer affiliation and aggression. A total of ...

Early life stress predicts trajectories of emotional problems and hippocampal volume in adolescence
AbstractExposure to early life stress (ELS) has been consistently associated with adverse emotional and neural consequences in youth. The development of brain structures such as the hippocampus, which plays a significant role in stress and emotion regulation, may be particularly salient in the development of psychopathology. Prior work has documented smaller hippocampal volume (HCV) in relation to both ELS exposure and risk for psychopathology. We used longitudinal k-means clustering to identify simultaneous trajectories of HCV and emotional problems in 155 youth across three assessments conducted approximately two years a...

Psychosocial experiences in youth with Tourette syndrome: a systematic review and meta-synthesis
AbstractSuffering from Tourette syndrome (TS) disrupts the daily lives and interpersonal relationships of patients. The psychosocial experiences of young people with TS are not yet clear. The aim of the systematic review is to identify and synthesize the psychosocial experiences of young people with TS. A meta-synthesis was conducted. PubMed, EMBASE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Web of Science, and Chinese Electronic Periodical Services databases were searched for articles published from their inception to February 2023. This review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute ’s Guidelines for Syste...

Why we should focus more attention on uncertainty distress and intolerance of uncertainty in adolescents and emerging adults
AbstractSivertsen et al. (2023) showed that adolescents endorsing high levels of internalizing and externalizing symptoms are at risk of increased mental health problems during emerging adulthood and suggested the existence of both homotypic and heterotypic continuities of mental disorders over time. Since adolescence and emerging adulthood are transition periods highly intertwined with uncertainty, the present perspective contextualizes the findings by Sivertsen et al. (2023) in relation to the extant literature on intolerance of uncertainty and the recently developed Uncertainty Distress Model. Moreover, it claims for fu...

Distance to home does not influence treatment success during and after inpatient treatment in adolescents with anorexia nervosa
AbstractCurrent treatment guidelines recommend that inpatients with eating disorders —particularly adolescents with anorexia nervosa—should receive treatment at facilities within close distance to their home. However, whether distance to home actually influences short- and long-term treatment outcome in adolescents with anorexia nervosa has not been investigated yet. We re-analy zed data at admission, discharge, and 1-year follow up from a recent study withN = 142 female, adolescent inpatients with anorexia nervosa. Distance to home did not moderate changes in body weight, eating disorder symptoms, depressive sympt...

Defining young people ’s mental health self-care: a systematic review and co-development approach

Functional network characteristics in adolescent psychotic mood disorder: associations with symptom severity and treatment effects
This study indicated that functional networks are more severely impaired in patients with psychotic symptoms. Topological properties, particularly those associated with the STG, hold promise as emerging metrics for assessing symptoms and treatment efficacy in patients with psychotic s ymptoms.
