of cognitive vulnerabilities, and greater general and relationship impairments.
In this study three different pathways among these variables were assessed simultaneously: (1) cognitive vulnerabilities and stressors as predictors of depressive symptoms (vulnerability model), (2) depressive symptoms and cognitive vulnerabilities as predictors of stressors (stress generation model), and (3) depressive symptoms and stressors as predictors
of cognitive vulnerabilities (consequence model).
As expected, teens who reported higher levels of interpersonal dependent stress showed higher levels of negative cognitive style and rumination at later assessments, even after the researchers took initial levels

Past research examining the validity of PCS in Chinese samples has indicated that it is positively associated with other measures
of cognitive vulnerability including the children's dysfunctional attitudes scale as well as negatively correlated with levels of stress, anxiety, and depression (Auerbach et al. 2009a, b).

Physical punishment is associated with a range
of mental health problems in children, youth and adults, including depression, unhappiness, anxiety, feelings
of hopelessness, use
of drugs and alcohol, and general psychological maladjustment.26 — 29 These relationships may be mediated by disruptions in parent — child attachment resulting from pain inflicted by a caregiver, 30,31 by increased levels
of cortisol32 or by chemical disruption
of the brain's mechanism for regulating stress.33 Researchers are also finding that physical punishment is linked to slower
cognitive development and adversely affects academic achievement.34 These findings come from large longitudinal studies that control for a wide range
of potential confounders.35 Intriguing results are now emerging from neuroimaging studies, which suggest that physical punishment may reduce the volume
of the brain's grey matter in areas associated with performance on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, third edition (WAIS - III).36 In addition, physical punishment can cause alterations in the dopaminergic regions associated with
vulnerability to the abuse
of drugs and alcohol.37

Whether in contexts
of adversity or security, early relationships form the foundation for
cognitive, affective and neurobiological adaptation.2, 3,4 Whereas relational
vulnerabilities engender distress and maladaptation, relational resources foster emotional health and competence.5, 6,7 In the context
of safe and responsive relationships with caregivers and others, young children develop core regulatory and processing capacities that enable them to maximize developmental opportunities and effectively negotiate developmental challenges.
Resilience research has identified several mechanisms by which protective and
vulnerability factors operate to increase or decrease the probability
of competence in contexts
of adversity, respectively.11 As noted previously, sensitive caregiving engenders adaptive neurobiological, behavioural, and
cognitive organization in early childhood.4, 8 Thus, positive relationships contribute to resilient adaptation by promoting resources, such as self - esteem, self - efficacy and coping capacities.

The presentation addresses the empirical foundations
of schema theory by shedding light on the role
of early maladaptive schemas in depression etiology and reviews the clinical evidence
of schema therapy as a possible treatment option for (chronic) depression: Limited evidence suggests that ST by targeting self - referential
cognitive schemas (EMS) which mediate the effects
of early life adversity on
vulnerability towards and maintenance
of depressive disorders in the sense
of distal risk factors could be an effective treatment for depression and a feasible alternative to CBT (Brewin et al. 2009; Carter et al. 2013; Malogiannis et al. 2014; Renner et al. 2016).
By school entry, 43 — 47 %
of Aboriginal children have markers
of developmental
vulnerability.12, 13 In 2009, the first - ever national census
of childhood development at school entry showed that Aboriginal children were 2 — 3 times more likely than non-Aboriginal children to be developmentally vulnerable — defined as an Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) score below the 10th centile — on one or more domains.14 The Longitudinal Survey
of Australian Children reported similar disparities for
cognitive outcomes among Aboriginal children aged 4 — 5 years, although the number
of Aboriginal children was very small and not representative
of the Aboriginal population.15 There is currently a dearth
of empirical research that identifies the drivers
of positive early childhood health and development in Aboriginal children, or characterises vulnerable developmental trajectories.
The findings from these studies converge on the theme that attachment theory has considerable utility in potentially extending and refining current
cognitive vulnerability models through a consideration
of interpersonal context and the
cognitive mechanisms by which negative interpersonal experiences may confer increased risk to later anxious and depressive symptoms.
The articles in this special issue address empirically the application
of attachment theory to
cognitive vulnerability models
of anxiety and depression.
The current study extended past research by examining the effects
of two theoretically and empirically supported
cognitive vulnerabilities to depression (negative
cognitive style and rumination) as predictors
of dependent interpersonal and achievement events, independent events, and relational peer victimization.
To improve our understanding
of the development
of depressive symptoms, future research could test hypotheses in which factors from different levels interact, i.e., cognitions, genetics, environment, affect, negative life experiences, as suggested by the
cognitive vulnerability - transactional stress model (Hankin and Abramson 2001).

This study aims to investigate whether gender differences in the prevalence
of depressive symptoms, with girls reporting more depressive symptoms than boys, are related to gender differences in
cognitive schema

Studies suggest that the interaction between
cognitive vulnerability and stressors may function differently in girls and boys during adolescence; however, evidence is inconsistent and may point to moderation by a combination
of age and gender.
Developmental Trajectories and Origins

Cognitive Vulnerability to Internalizing Symptoms in Middle Childhood.
To conclude, the
cognitive vulnerability - stress interaction may be moderated by the combination
of age and gender in youth, which may explain inconsistent findings so far.
The present study examines the pattern
of relationships between adult romantic attachment,
cognitive vulnerabilities to anxiety and depression, self - reported anxious and depressive symptoms, and both general and specific relationship outcomes.
The relationship between NCS and depressive symptoms approached level
of significance in middle to late adolescent boys, but only in the presence
of many stressors, supporting a
cognitive vulnerability - stress model in middle to late adolescent boys.
A three - step, hierarchical regression analysis was performed to predict change in generalized anxiety from
cognitive vulnerabilities, sub-dimensions
of psychological well - being, and their interaction (as well as T1 generalized anxiety).
Thus, current findings suggest that inconsistent results regarding the
cognitive vulnerability - stress model in youth so far may be due to the moderating role
of gender being dependent on age.
Theoretically, the introduction
of SR - rumination is novel and contributes to existing research on
cognitive vulnerability in youth.
While children are prone to experience depressive symptoms as a direct consequence
of negative events (Nolen - Hoeksema et al. 1992), Turner and Cole (1994) posit that adolescents» ability to utilize abstract reasoning increases the likelihood
of developing stable
cognitive vulnerabilities that are activated in the presence
of stress.
