for 4 - 6 weeks (Study 1), or (b) asked strangers to rate how feminine (vs. masculine) the women's faces were (Study 2; note: prenatal and

The use of classical methods
for assessing
pubertal status may not be feasible in some studies, especially in male adolescents.
Most noteworthy, though, is the novel evidence the current study provides
for the role of rumors and gossip in helping to explain the link between early
pubertal timing and internalizing symptoms.
To examine whether the relationship between
pubertal status and neural response to social evaluation differed
for healthy youth and controls, similar whole brain regression analyses were conducted to identify areas showing group ×
pubertal status interaction effects.
Because early adolescence is not only a period of major physical change
for girls, but also a time in which peer relationships become increasingly significant, a key question linking these two aspects of development is whether signs of
pubertal maturation are related to one's social reputation among peers and, furthermore, whether such reputational factors might help us understand why early maturing girls display emotional adjustment problems.
While off - time
pubertal development has emerged as a potential risk factor
for both symptoms of depression and anxiety in youth, the literature is mixed and inconsistent as to (1) how early versus late
pubertal timing confers risk
for both boys and girls, (2) if the conferred risk is distinct between symptoms of anxiety and depression, and (3) under what social contexts (e.g., family environment, peer relationships) off - time
pubertal development may emerge as a potent risk factor
for these symptoms.
Indeed, rumors helped account
for internalizing symptoms reported both a semester after the assessment of
pubertal development as well as an entire school year later.
A whole - brain regression using AFNI's 3dRegana was conducted to identify areas showing a main effect of
pubertal status on response to rejection and / or acceptance controlling

The discussion focused on the need
for greater conceptual and empirical clarity regarding the
pubertal timing - depression association and its potential moderators.
This suggests that there may be factors that interact with
pubertal timing, increasing risk
for depression in some girls, but not others.
Finally, we explored whether the association between
pubertal status and neural response to peer rejection and acceptance would differ
for depressed youth and healthy controls.
Whether early
pubertal timing is related to other forms of relational aggression such as social exclusion and friendship withdrawal, and whether these types of experiences contribute to the emotional adjustment of early maturing girls represents an interesting avenue
for future research.
We examined whether — with progressing
pubertal development — a stronger increase in body dissatisfaction could still be found
for girls than
for boys.
For girls alone, pubertal status predicts body satisfaction and the wish for bodily chang
For girls alone,

Early
pubertal timing is only positively associated with baseline levels

For example, early
pubertal maturity may lead to early sexual debut only when family members react to early

Results provide initial empirical support

These findings are consistent with those of Pieters et al. (2015) who found that sleep problems prospectively predicted increased substance use, internalizing symptoms, and externalizing problems 1 year later in a sample of 555 adolescents (ages 11 — 16 years), even after controlling
for baseline levels of adjustment, age, sex, and
pubertal development.
Some support has been found
for an association between hormonal concentrations and negative affect20 - 24; however, social factors, including negative life events and their interaction with
pubertal status (but not hormonal status), account
for more of the variance in negative affect than biological factors alone.25 Early
pubertal timing and its social implications have also been postulated as an important risk factor in girls.26 - 31 Two recent studies, however, report that
pubertal status has a greater influence in predicting female depression than age32, 33 or the timing of puberty.32
To address these issues in the present study, ADHD symptoms, IQ, age,

Unlike Breeden et al. (2015), in our analysis we controlled
