Our findings suggest that such a developmental model would need to consider the effect of
internalizing symptoms in the context of co-occurring externalizing symptoms and to distinguish trajectories use / no use and amount of use that span early to late adolescence.
Adding insult to injury: neural sensitivity to social exclusion is associated
with internalizing symptoms in chronically peer - victimized girls.
The present study addressed these issues by using person - oriented (latent growth mixture) methods to model heterogeneity in maternal -
reported internalizing symptoms from age 2 to 11 years (N = 1,364).
Likewise, after controlling
for internalizing symptoms in childhood, Gregory et al. (2005) found persistent sleep problems in childhood to predict a diagnosis of anxiety but not depression in young adulthood.
Serious family financial strain, maternal depression, and attenuated cortisol all made unique contributions in models predicting current clinical levels of
internalizing symptoms as rated by mothers and teachers.
This study elucidates the link between cognitive emotion regulation strategies and underlying physiological regulation in adolescents but also indicates a putative influence of
maternal internalizing symptoms on emotion regulation in their offspring.
We found that securely attached adolescents experienced greater reduction in
internalizing symptoms from admission to discharge, even when controlling for length of stay.
There were no significant correlations between
paternal internalizing symptoms and adaptive (rpartial (43) =.002, p = 1.00), maladaptive (rpartial (43) =.26, p =.08), or external (rpartial (43) = -.07, p =.63) ER in the child.
This prospective longitudinal study investigated whether repeated and intentional harm doing by peers (peer victimization) in childhood
predicts internalizing symptoms in early adolescence.
Total comorbidity did not add to the prediction of recovery using child - reported anxiety nor parent - reported
internalizing symptoms over and above the contribution of symptom severity.
Adolescents higher in withdrawal manifested
higher internalizing symptoms in the context of lower neighborhood crime and lower neighborhood social cohesion than youth lower in withdrawal, supporting diathesis - stress.
One of these studies (Greco et al. 2008) included an assessment instrument that
measured internalizing symptoms as well as symptoms of hyperactivity and oppositional behavior, but failed to analyze the relations between psychological inflexibility and internalizing and externalizing symptoms separately.
The most successful students tended to be younger, female, have higher IQ and reading skills, have better scores on parent -
rated internalizing symptoms, and to have been discharged more recently.
Students with
more internalizing symptoms showed the most benefit from treatment components in which they shared their trauma narratives or loss narratives.
As noted earlier, previous research has been mainly concerned with
internalizing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and somatic complaints (Feinstein et al. 2011; Fergus et al. 2012; Greco et al. 2008; Livheim et al. 2016; Paulus et al. 2016; Simon and Verboon 2016; Valdivia - Salas et al. in press; Venta et al. 2012).
Childhood Maltreatment Is Associated With Altered Fear Circuitry and Increased
Internalizing Symptoms by Late Adolescence (PDF - 686 KB) Herringa, Birn, Ruttle, Burghy, Stodola, Davidson, & Essex (2013) Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 110 (47) Examines the associations between experiences of maltreatment during childhood and functional brain connectivity in 64 adolescents participating in a longitudinal community study.
Interestingly, all but one of the scales (i.e., the ADHD Rating Scale - IV)
target internalizing symptoms exclusively (i.e., depression, anxiety, fears, somatization, positive and negative affect).
In addition, the cascading mediation model was supported in which the Familias Unidas intervention predicted significant improvements in parent - adolescent communication at 6 months, subsequently decreasing externalizing behaviors at 18 months, and ultimately reducing youth
internalizing symptoms at 30 months post-baseline.
In conclusion, healthy mothers with
internalizing symptoms appear to have children with higher HRV, which in turn fosters strategies that promote adaptive functioning in the children.
(2) Does total and / or non-anxious comorbidity predict Reliable Change in self - reported anxiety and parent - reported
internalizing symptoms above and beyond overall severity?
The present study examined the role that anxiety sensitivity, gender, and ethnic minority status may play in the expression of
internalizing symptoms across Latin American adolescents (n = 116) and white non-Latino adolescents (n = 72) in the United States and Colombian adolescents in Colombia (n = 163).
This indicates that parents of families who received additional therapy, compared to parents of families who did not, reported more decrease in parental overreactivity at posttest, and more decrease in
parental internalizing symptoms and stress about their competence in parenting at 1 - year follow - up.
Boys are more likely to express emotional problems in «acting out behavior», whereas girls are more likely to express emotional problems
through internalizing symptoms (Chaplin and Aldao 2013).
We examined social anxiety and
internalizing symptoms using the Social Phobia and Anxiety Inventory for Children (SPAI - C), the Social Anxiety Scale for Children - Revised (SASC - R), and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) in a sample of fifty - four high - functioning subjects with autism or Asperger syndrome (HFA / AS)(M = 11.2 ± 1.7 years) and 305 community subjects (M = 12.2 ± 2.2 years).
Longitudinal studies of the impact of low family income as well as other SES factors on externalizing and
internalizing symptom dimensions and disorders are called for.
Experiencing puberty earlier than one's peers has been linked with psychological disorders such as major depression as well as
subclinical internalizing symptoms such as depressed mood and low self - worth (Ge et al. 2001, 2006; Graber et al. 1997; Nadeem and Graham 2005; Siegel et al. 1999).
Children with low RSA - B and strong RSA withdrawal, girls with low RSA - B, and girls with strong RSA withdrawal were more likely to be on a developmental trajectory of low externalizing symptoms and moderately
elevated internalizing symptoms.
Participants, parents, and teachers completed measures of the adolescent's adjustment to
assess internalizing symptoms, rule - breaking behaviors, and borderline and narcissistic personality features.
