findings of psychopathology to the psychology of normal human beings.

Even when study is limited to family processes as influences, multivariate risk models
find support.9 - 12 For example, Cummings and Davies13 presented a framework for how multiple disruptions in child and family functioning and related contexts are supported as pertinent to associations between maternal depression and early child adjustment, including problematic parenting, marital conflict, children's exposure to parental depression, and related difficulties in family processes.10, 11 A particular focus
of this family process model is identifying and distinguishing specific response processes in the child (e.g., emotional insecurity; specific emotional, cognitive, behavioral or physiological responses) that, over time, account for normal development or the development
of psychopathology.10

of well - being.

Prior studies have
found remarkable similarity in the family characteristics across a wide range
of child
psychopathologies.
Given their typical age
of onset, a broad range
of mental disorders are increasingly being understood as the result
of aberrations
of developmental processes that normally occur in the adolescent brain.4 — 6 Executive functioning, and its neurobiological substrate, the prefrontal cortex, matures during adolescence.5 The relatively late maturation
of executive functioning is adaptive in most cases, underpinning characteristic adolescent behaviours such as social interaction, risk taking and sensation seeking which promote successful adult development and independence.6 However, in some cases it appears that the delayed maturation
of prefrontal regulatory regions leads to the development
of mental illness, with neurobiological studies indicating a broad deficit in executive functioning which precedes and underpins a range
of psychopathology.7 A recent meta - analysis
of neuroimaging studies focusing on a range
of psychotic and non-psychotic mental illnesses
found that grey matter loss in the dorsal anterior cingulate, and left and right insula, was common across diagnoses.8 In a healthy sample, this study also demonstrated that lower grey matter in these regions was
found to be associated with deficits in executive functioning performance.
Initial parenting programs have evolved to incorporate
findings from developmental

findings in literature on the relation between externalizing behaviour and functioning

Findings prove the close interplay between social functioning and
psychopathology in the chronic course

Findings underscore the importance
of assessing various types

psychopathology research.
Stress factors, such as negative life events, poor marital relationships, having a special needs infant or medically «fragile» infant, lack

Although certain aspects
of the methodology limit conclusions, the
findings of this study suggest that emotion socialization differs in girls and boys, and these differences are consistent with models that link specific parental emotion socialization approaches (e.g., punishment
of negative emotions) to
psychopathology — a question that deserves further exploration.
In addition, we did not code the content and affective tone
of parental emotion talk, which could have provided further insight in the positive relations we
found between fathers»
psychopathology symptoms and maternal emotion talk and between maternal emotion talk and child internalizing problems.
Aberrant emotional attention, particularly among individuals high on aggression, constitutes one such deficit; however, its robustness across race / ethnicity requires further investigation given
findings that the psychopathy construct manifests differently across race (Sullivan and Kosson 2006), and emotional attention is susceptible to the influence
of adverse environmental factors such as violence exposure that is more common among ethnic minority youth (Kimonis et al. in Development and
Psychopathology, 20, 569 — 589, 2008b).

of methods, with an emphasis on empirical studies
of the major forms
of psychopathology found in childhood disorders (e.g., disruptive behavior disorders, depression, anxiety, and autism spectrum disorder).
However, our
findings are consistent with the notion
of a general emotion dysregulation factor (Silk et al. 2003; Steinberg and Avenevoli 2000), and are in line with
findings that most forms
of psychopathology include dysregulation in more than one discrete emotion.
The fact that, in contrast to the current
findings, some studies report specific links between discrete emotions and forms
of psychopathology in adolescents (Keltner et al. 1995) and children (e.g., Eisenberg et al. 2001), may be due to differences in the assessment
of emotions.
A second line
of research into family functioning has implicated «parental communication deviance,» a style
of communicating with offspring that is vague, fragmented, and contradictory.54, 55 Although early studies
of this phenomenon were criticized on methodological grounds, 56 it was later reported that parental communication deviance and criticism / hostility predicted later psychosis among nonpsychotic child guidance attendees, 57,58 reflecting bidirectional interactions between
psychopathology in the children and parental behavior.59 More recently, a Finnish adoption study
found that children at genetic risk
of psychosis were more likely to become psychotic in later life if raised by adoptive parents with communication deviance.60, 61

Second, even though we assessed parental ADHD and parental
psychopathology, we did not specifically assess paternal antisocial personality disorder or maternal stress, which both have been

of emotion tend to
find nonspecific associations between discrete emotions and forms

Given the high rates
of emotional difficulties (Ooi et al. 2011; Totsika et al. 2011),
psychopathology (Brereton et al. 2006; Dickerson et al. 2011), and externalizing and internalizing problems (Maskey et al. 2013) in children with ASD, these
findings support the need for interventions targeting the underlying deficits in emotion regulation abilities (Gross and Thompson 2007; Mazefsky et al. 2013; Rieffe et al. 2011; Weiss 2014).
