of psychopathology across multiple domains, including contextual factors, parental depression, parenting, and child characteristics.

psychopathology persist
across the lifecourse?
From a public health perspective, early interventions in childhood might change or moderate the cycle

across families, because they originate in the same type
of parental
psychopathology (a narcissistic personality disorder with borderline features that is decompensating into persecutory beliefs regarding the targeted / rejected parent's abuse potential relative to the child).

of psychopathology is also known
across generations, such as the consistently reported relationship between parental substance abuse, and antisocial behavior and somatization problems in the daughters (Bohman et al. 1984; Cadoret 1978).

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.
According to the developers
of this instrument, it has been used extensively in practice but validation studies
of this instrument have only been published in special populations at present.34 35 The young adult version will also be used to assess
psychopathology in those aged 18 years and over in the current study to allow continuity
of measurement
across the full sample.
Continuities in family socialization and contextual risks
across generations, as well as genetic factors, are associated with the development
of psychopathology — including both externalizing and internalizing problems in children — and to intergenerational associations in the use
of alcohol, tobacco, and other.
Given the evidence to suggest that deficits in executive functioning are associated with
psychopathology across a range
of mental illnesses, 8 9 this may be particularly the case for cognitive training using exercises focusing on this domain.
We tested each model's plausibility, examining longitudinal associations between entity theories
of thoughts, feelings, and behavior and
psychopathology in early adolescents
across one school year (N = 59, 52 % female, ages 11 — 14, 0 % attrition).
Similarly, another recent functional imaging study focused on 1129 community youths (mean age 15.5 years) and investigated the relationship between
psychopathology and activation
of the executive system during a working memory task.9 Overall
psychopathology was associated with hypoactivation in the frontal pole, anterior cingulate, anterior insula and precuneus, implicating a network
of executive regions
across a range
of psychiatric diagnoses.
Psychopathology will be assessed using the SDQ, a 25 - item self - report behavioural screening inventory for children and adolescents which measures positive and negative attributes of participants.33 The SDQ has been used extensively and has strong psychometric properties.25 The SDQ is also brief and multidimensional, providing information across a wide range of psychopathology as required for the

Attachment disorganization is likely to constitute a broad relational risk factor for
psychopathology that cuts
across conventional diagnostic categories and interacts with individual biological vulnerability, producing a range
of psychiatric symptoms.
Rates
of substance use and comorbid
psychopathology peak during adolescence, highlighting the need to identify transdiagnostic risk processes that cut
across conditions and elucidate early embedded risk factors for comorbidity
across development.
Further, emotion dysregulation uniquely predicts
psychopathology symptoms
across a range
of disorders, above and beyond the mere experience
of negative affect alone [61].
Indeed, disordered and dysregulated mood defines many forms
of psychopathology, and difficulty with emotion regulation has been described as a core deficit that emerges
across psychiatric disorders and manifests as dysregulation
across multiple levels
of analysis — biology, physiology, and behavior [15].
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).
We employ this more versatile definition
of emotion regulation in order to maximize inclusion
of findings from research which spans
across various emotionally - salient domains as they relate to substance use and comorbid
psychopathology.
Prevention efforts are targeted at early risk factors that explain the development
of comorbid
psychopathology, with a narrowing focus on transdiagnostic factors that cut
across conditions and thus further exacerbate
psychopathology risk [10, 11 • •, 12 • •, 13].

across a larger age range is needed to adequately test effects
of gender as a moderating variable in associations between emotion dynamics and
