There is growing evidence for online mindfulness courses being as effective as other face - to - face interventions and online courses for stress even without a therapeutic alliance.37 — 40 Previously found Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) effect sizes are comparable to those found with face - to - face mindfulness and CBT interventions, including our previous research examining the course currently under investigation.40 — 42 One RCT found that an automated internet - based therapy including CBT and mindfulness actually had better outcomes for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) than the comparative online therapist - led intervention, suggesting that the effects of internet interventions can not be attributed to, and do not rely
on, therapist
interaction.43 Studies are finding that online mindfulness courses can be beneficial for depression in samples with IBS and epilepsy and
anxiety symptoms in a non-clinical sample comparing a 3 - week mindfulness course with positive psychology interventions and treatment as usual (see Monshat38 for a review).
Many of the scales demonstrated weak psychometrics in at least one of the following ways: (a) lack of psychometric data [i.e., reliability and / or validity; e.g., HFQ, MASC, PBS, Social Adjustment Scale - Self - Report (SAS - SR) and all perceived self - esteem and self - concept scales], (b) items that fall
on more than one subscale (e.g., CBCL - 1991 version), (c) low alpha coefficients (e.g., below.60) for some subscales, which calls into question the utility of using these subscales in research and clinical work (e.g., HFQ, MMPI - A, CBCL - 1991 version, BASC, PSPCSAYC), (d) high correlations between subscales (e.g., PANAS - C), (e) lack of clarity regarding clinically - relevant cut - off scores, yielding high false positive and false negative rates (e.g., CES - D, CDI) and an inability to distinguish between minor (i.e., subclinical) and major (i.e., clinical) «cases» of a disorder (e.g., depression; CDI, BDI), (f) lack of correspondence between items and DSM criteria (e.g., CBCL - 1991 version, CDI, BDI, CES - D, (g) a factor structure that lacks clarity across studies (e.g., PSPCSAYC, CASI; although the factor structure is often difficult to assess in studies of pediatric populations, given the small sample sizes), (h) low inter-rater reliability for interview and observational methods (e.g., CGAS), (i) low correlations between respondents such as child, parent, teacher [e.g., BASC, PSPCSAYC, CSI, FSSC - R, SCARED, Connors Ratings Scales - Revised (CRS - R)-RSB-, (j) the inclusion of somatic or physical symptom items
on mental health subscales (e.g., CBCL), which is a problem when conducting studies of children with pediatric physical conditions because physical symptoms may be a feature of the condition rather than an indicator of a mental health problem, (k) high correlations with measures of social desirability, which is particularly problematic for the self - related rating scales and for child - report scales more generally, and (l) content validity problems (e.g., the RCMAS is a measure of
anxiety, but contains items that tap mood, attention, peer
interactions, and impulsivity).
Research
on risk for
anxiety focuses
on early temperament, particularly behavioural inhibition.10, 13,14 For example, Schwartz et al. 6 found that 61 % of 13 year olds, identified as behaviourally inhibited at age two, demonstrated clear signs of
anxiety during social
interactions, compared to only 27 % of those who were not inhibited.

interaction between attachment dimensions and no three - way

interaction provided no evidence of differential effects of intervention

Results
on the relations between parental
anxiety and coparenting were analyzed using the
anxiety - disordered group of children, so that any effect of parental
anxiety disorder
on (co) parenting can be viewed as a parental
anxiety by child
anxiety interaction (see Murray et al. 2009).
As we did for the other
interactions, we examined the direction of these effects by plotting the regression of the Happy Peak Toward scores
on 1 SD above and below the mean of the CU traits and
Anxiety (see Figures 6, 7).
The present study examined the independent contributions and the
interaction effects of oppositional defiant problems (ODD), callous unemotional traits (CU) and
anxiety symptoms
on attentional orienting to emotional faces, in a community sample of preschoolers.
The first objective of the present investigation was to analyze, in a sample of preschool children, the independent contributions and the
interaction effects of CU traits,
anxiety and ODD - related problems
on attentional orienting to emotional faces.
Second, the direction of peaks also varied based
on the
interactions between individual differences in CU traits and
anxiety symptoms.
Finally, as highlighted in research
on anxiety (e.g., Murray et al. 2009), there is a continuous
interaction between child and parental factors (including parental
anxiety and parenting) in the development of
anxiety.
The first aim of the present study was to investigate the independent contributions and the
interaction effects of ODD - related problems, CU traits and
anxiety on attentional orienting to emotional faces, in a community sample of preschoolers, by using a facial affect Dot - probe paradigm (MacLeod et al., 1986).
Therefore, given that only these four parameters were significantly associated with CU traits and ODD problems (teacher rate), we further conducted four separate multiple hierarchical regression analyses, one for each of these parameters, in order to examine the contributions of CU traits,
anxiety, ODD - related problems and their
interactions on attentional processing of emotional faces as indexed by these parameters.
Moreover, the strength of the
anxiety by externalizing and depression by externalizing
interactions on the slope were similar, β = 5.51, p < 0.01 and β = 5.80, p < 0.01, respectively.

on clinical issues associated with romantic love such as hypomania, sleep problems, depression, and

interactions; Tadinac et al., 2012), and maladaptive schemas as a predictor of divorce (Yoosefi, Etemadi, Bahrami, Fatehizade, & Ahmadi, 2010).
Most research
on child
anxiety has focused
on parenting during
interactions, such as parental overprotection (Bögels and Brechmann - Toussaint 2006), but the associations between child
anxiety and such parenting factors are modest (see the meta - analyses of McLeod et al. 2007; Van der Bruggen et al. 2008).
The mixed ANOVA per protocol analysis showed a statistically significant
interaction between the group (MBCT and wait - list) and time (baseline, post-intervention and follow - up)

Hence, findings add to the growing acknowledgement (Butler 2011; Granic 2005; Houben et al. 2015) that a focus
on the real - time dynamic nature of emotions, particularly dyadic emotional flexibility, during parent - child
interactions is important for understanding
anxiety disorders.
General indices regarding mental health of mothers have been associated with their children's sleep, and less well - organized sleep patterns have been noted in children from poorly functioning families.113) Mothers of children with sleep disturbances exhibited much higher psychological stress than did controls, obtaining increased scores
on all factors of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ).114) Children's sleep quality significantly predicted that of their mothers, with maternal sleep quality associated with stress and fatigue.115) Moreover, infants of mothers with low levels of depression and
anxiety were more likely to recover from sleep problems than those with high levels of depression and
anxiety after controlling for the influence of attachment patterns.116) Sleep disturbances in early childhood were positively related to negative maternal perceptions of their child, 117) potentially interfering with the development of beneficial parent - child
interactions.
Studies have shown that maternal postnatal psychiatric issues, including
anxiety and depression, negatively affect crucial early mother - child
interactions, thereby increasing the risk of mental health disorders in children.1, — , 5 Numerous other studies have highlighted the association between maternal mental health problems across childhood and its detrimental effects
on children's mental health and physical functioning.6, — , 12

These findings are in line with the social skills deficit hypothesis of social
anxiety (Miers et al. 2010) and extend the extant cross-sectional literature
