This book was released on 2016 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study sought to add to the social support literature by examining the relationship between adolescent perceptions of social support from different support sources and internalizing symptoms. More specifically, the present study investigated stress-buffering and compensation effects of social support from mothers, fathers, classmates, and close friends related to internalizing symptoms at the middle school level. The primary question guiding this study was: Does social support from one source moderate support from another source when predicting internalizing symptoms? The results were examined specifically to determine if support from one source can compensate for a lack of support from another source. A secondary question was: How does this effect vary by gender or levels of stress? The specific goals of this study were to: (1) examine the relationship between social support from different sources and internalizing symptoms; (2) examine the potential for social support from one source to moderate support from another source when predicting internalizing symptoms; (3) examine the potential for social support from one source to moderate support from another source at different levels of stress when predicting internalizing symptoms.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study examined the stress-buffering effect of social support on the relations between stress from daily hassles and psychological adjustment. Daily hassles have been associated with various indicators of maladjustment including anxiety and depression. Previous research has identified the stress-buffering effect of social support such that perceived social support moderates the relations between experiencing stress and negative outcomes. This has been established for various forms of stress but has not been extensively explored for daily hassles. This study analyzed the potential moderating effect of social support from parents, teachers, and classmates on the association between perceived daily hassles and symptoms of anxiety and depression within a high-school population. The examination found that daily hassle stress was significantly associated with anxiety and depression. For anxiety, no sources of support moderated the relation between stress and internalizing symptoms. When analyzing depression, only classmate support buffered the relation between daily hassle stress and depression.

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The present study examined the relationships among perceived social support, mental health, and achievement in early adolescents, via analysis of an archival data set consisting of 390 middle school students. Specifically of interest was how various sources of social support (i.e., parent, classmate, and teacher) independently and uniquely predicted pathology (i.e., internalizing and externalizing symptoms) and wellness (i.e., life satisfaction) in youth. This study also examined the role of gender in the relationship between social support and mental health outcomes in order to delineate the specific types of support most salient to boys versus girls. Finally, this study explored the protective nature of high student academic achievement in the relationship between social support and mental health in order to determine if academic achievement moderated the relationship between social support and mental health. Results indicated that social support from all sources was inversely associated with both internalizing and externalizing problems, and associated in a positive manner with life satisfaction and achievement. Social support was a significant predictor of all mental health outcomes, with social support and life satisfaction evidencing the strongest relationship. The strength and magnitude of the associations between perceived support from various sources and student mental health were consistent across gender groups, evidencing no moderating effect. Academic achievement moderated the direction and strength of the relationships between externalizing behavior and (a) classmate support, and (b) parent support, respectively. Implications for school psychologists and directions for future research are discussed.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internalizing symptoms and disorders - such as anxiety and depression - increase in adolescence (Meyer and Lee, 2019) and can interact with youth brain and behavioral development. As youth develop, changing biological and environmental factors necessitate developing novel skills, such as emotion regulation and reward-based learning strategies, while balancing new drives toward risk-taking. Given how complex and in-flux this period of life is, investigating the role of internalizing symptoms in a variety of adolescent behaviors is crucial for better understanding how to support youth through this dynamic developmental stage. The studies in this dissertation examine how internalizing symptoms relate to brain development - specifically, functional connectivity and activity associated with emotion regulation and reward learning - as well as risk-taking in the real world. Chapter 1 provides a general introduction to the research outlined in the following chapters. Chapter 2 describes research relating internalizing symptomatology in subclinical youth to amygdala-whole brain functional connectivity. Findings demonstrate that the relationship between internalizing symptoms and amygdala connectivity is stronger in girls than boys, and that youth generally demonstrate greater connectivity between the amygdala and regions associated with emotional processing as a function of greater internalizing symptoms. In Chapter 3, findings from the first study to investigate brain and behavioral differences in emotion regulation between youth with and without anxiety are presented. Youth with anxiety regulated their emotions to the same extent as non-anxious peers; however, regulation may have been especially effortful for youth with anxiety as they demonstrated stronger prefrontal cortex activation and connectivity with the amygdala during regulation. Research presented in Chapter 4 characterizes the relationship between anxiety severity and reward learning in a subclinical sample. While all youth were capable of learning stimulus-reward associations, youth with higher anxiety allocated value toward non-rewarding stimuli to a greater extent and showed a stronger relationship between brain activity and behavior; furthermore, within this group, those with the highest intolerance of uncertainty showed the least reward network activation when receiving rewards. Finally, Chapter 5 examines racial disparities in the juvenile justice system, as well as tracks the longitudinal change in internalizing symptoms alongside criminal offending. Black youth, and to a slightly lesser extent Latino youth, faced the greatest disparities through system processing. All youth demonstrated greater improvements in internalizing symptoms alongside decreased offending, showing the tight relationship between mental health and criminal offending. Taken together, results from this dissertation demonstrate the varied effects of internalizing symptoms on adolescent brain and behavioral development. As such, these studies present a multi-disciplinary look at the role of mental health in the lives of adolescents.

This book was released on 2019-07-26 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescenceâ€"beginning with the onset of puberty and ending in the mid-20sâ€"is a critical period of development during which key areas of the brain mature and develop. These changes in brain structure, function, and connectivity mark adolescence as a period of opportunity to discover new vistas, to form relationships with peers and adults, and to explore one's developing identity. It is also a period of resilience that can ameliorate childhood setbacks and set the stage for a thriving trajectory over the life course. Because adolescents comprise nearly one-fourth of the entire U.S. population, the nation needs policies and practices that will better leverage these developmental opportunities to harness the promise of adolescenceâ€"rather than focusing myopically on containing its risks. This report examines the neurobiological and socio-behavioral science of adolescent development and outlines how this knowledge can be applied, both to promote adolescent well-being, resilience, and development, and to rectify structural barriers and inequalities in opportunity, enabling all adolescents to flourish.
Download or read book Reintegrating Learned Helplessness Into a Cognitive Vulnerability social Support Model of Early Adolescent Depression written by Andrea Kirby and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: The Reformulate Theory of Learned Helplessness (RTLH) helps to explain the development of depression. However, learned helplessness (LH), a key component of the RTLH, has dropped out of recent research on cognitive vulnerability models of depression in early adolescents. Purpose: We aimed to study the relationship between LH and depressive symptoms in early adolescents, and more specifically whether the reintegration of LH into a cognitive vulnerability-social support model increases predictability of depressive symptoms. Methods: An extant school-based dataset was examined. Hypothesis: We hypothesized the presence of concurrent, longitudinal, and prospective relationships between LH and depressive symptoms four months later. We also predicted that incorporation of an additive vulnerability variable (composed of LH and attributional style [AS]) into cognitive vulnerability-social support models would aid in predicting changes in depressive symptoms among early adolescent females and males. Data Analysis: We conducted bivariate correlation and hierarchical linear regression analyses with SPSS to test hypotheses. Results: No significant results were found. However, results demonstrated small effect sizes that supported a nuanced understanding of the main-effect model of parent support in females and stress-buffering model of parent support in males. Implications: Future research should continue to examine the role of LH in psychopathology and follow recommendations (such as use of larger, clinical samples of adolescents, different measures of LH and depression, and testing of other models).
Download or read book Investigating the Associations Among Perceived Social Support Neuroticism Extraversion and Depressive Symptoms in Early Adolescence written by Raymond L. Geosling and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression is a disorder that affects many adolescents. It can affect individuals from many different walks of life and can be devastating. While there are many factors that put an individual at risk, there are also factors that may serve to protect individuals. Two important factors that are related to depression are personality and perceived social support. It has been hypothesized that high levels of neuroticism and low levels of positive emotionality (a facet of extraversion) are underlying factors in depression. Furthermore, high levels of perceived social support from parents and classmates have been shown to decrease the risk of depression in adolescents. The present study sought to investigate the role of neuroticism and extraversion in the experience of depressive symptoms in adolescents. More specifically, the present study investigated whether extraversion moderates the relationship between neuroticism and depressive symptoms. It also sought to test whether perceived social support from parents and classmates served as mediators in the relationship between personality and depressive symptoms. Findings from the current study indicate that extraversion moderates the relationship between neuroticism and depressive symptoms. Additionally, perceived social support from parents or classmates did not serve as mediators in the relationship between personality and depressive symptoms. Implications of the findings from the current study are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the 66th volume in the prestigious Nebraska Series on Motivation, this book focuses on understanding emotion and motivation as two factors that not only influence social and cognitive processes, but also shape the way we navigate our social world. Research on emotion has increased significantly over the past two decades, pulling from scholarship in psychology, neuroscience, medicine, political science, sociology, and even computer science. This volume is informed by the growing momentum in the resulting interdisciplinary field of affective science, and examines the role of emotion and motivation in our perceptions, decision-making, and social interactions, and attempts to understand the neurobiological mechanisms that support these processes across the lifespan in both healthy and clinical populations. Included among the chapters: Emotion concept development from childhood to adulthood Evolving psychological and neural models for the regulation of emotion Pathways to motivational impairments in psychopathology A valuation systems perspective on motivation Reproducible, generalizable brain models of affective processes Emotion in the Mind and Body is a comprehensive and compelling rendering of the current state of the interdisciplinary field of affective science, and will be of interest to researchers and students working in psychology and neuroscience, as well as medicine, political science, and sociology.

Download or read book Social Support Across Source and Context written by Shu-Sha Angie Guan and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social relationships have great implications for well-being. Positive interpersonal exchanges, such as social support, can be beneficial in buffering the detrimental effects of distress on physiological systems (neuroendocrine, immune, cardiovascular) implicated in the development of chronic diseases. However, characteristics of the support recipient (age, culture), provider (parent vs. peers, Study 1), and context (face-to-face vs. computer-mediated, Study 2) may play a role in shaping the effects of support. The studies in this dissertation examined these factors. Study 1 examined how social support from parents and friends differentially moderated the association between depressive symptoms, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity and inflammation among adolescents (N = 316, Mage = 16.40, SD = .74; 57% female) from diverse backgrounds (23.1% Asian, 29.1% European, 41.8% Latino, and 6.0% other). Results indicated that parent support, but not friend support, moderated the link of depressive symptoms to both total daily cortisol output (a measure of neuroendocrine, HPA activity) and C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation associated with cardiovascular disease risk). These patterns did not differ by ethnicity. Overall, Study 1 highlights the continued, and perhaps accumulated, importance of parents despite increasing needs for autonomy from and exploration outside of the family unit during adolescence. Study 2 examined how computer-mediated support relative to face-to-face support differentially affects stress reactivity among young adult females (N=103; Mage=19.91, SD=1.91) from Asian (n = 59) compared to non-Asian backgrounds (e.g., African American, European American, Latino, mixed-heritage, n = 44). Participants who received support from a friend through instant messenger before a stressful lab task reported less state anxiety afterward compared to those who did not receive support. Additionally, HPA reactivity across conditions was moderated by ethnicity. Specifically, participants from non-Asian backgrounds who received support face-to-face exhibited less cortisol output throughout the study session compared to their counterparts who received support through instant messenger or not at all. There were no significant differences in cortisol output across all conditions for Asian Americans and no differences were observed for cardiovascular reactivity (heart rate, blood pressure) for all participants. So although new technologies are providing new contexts for social connection, cultural differences in response to in-person support may be reproduced in digital mediums.
Download or read book Evaluating the Effects of Strong Teens on High School Student Levels of Internalizing Symptoms and Resilience written by Austin J. Millet and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many adults suffering from mental health problems often report that the onset of these concerns began in adolescence, highlighting the importance of identifying and treating mental health concerns from an early age. In high schools, some students are identified as having externalizing or internalizing disorders. The majority of these students, especially those with internalizing symptoms, go untreated. One potential reason may be that limited school resources are used to correct behavior problems, leaving those with internalizing disorders to silently suffer, which often exacerbates the issues. Recent research suggests many individuals have high levels of resilience which can be taught, and which positively contributes to mental health. Social emotional learning (SEL) is one approach to teaching resilience. In this study we implemented an SEL program called Strong Teens at the high school level. The high school identified students with internalizing symptoms and provided them with this curriculum, intended to reduce those symptoms. We used a time series design to evaluate changes in internalizing symptoms (e.g., depression, anxiety, and withdrawal) and resilience. Results indicated that with the implementation of the Strong Teens curriculum, student levels of internalizing symptoms decreased from pretest to posttest, according to self-report. Teacher reports did not indicate any significant change in internalizing symptoms or resilience. This study supports the findings of the Strong Teens curriculum as a generalizable program which significantly reduces internalizing symptoms.
