Book excerpt: Previous research indicates that the family environments of depressed children are characterized by parent psychopathology, poor family relationships, little communication between family members, and little social recreational activity. Previous research has also found that depressed children and adolescents report more stress and are more pessimistic in their interpretations of life events. Research has found mixed results, however, for the interaction between stress and cognition proposed by cognitive diathesis-stress theories such as the hopelessness theory of depression. The purpose of the current study was to build upon previous literature on family and cognitive correlates of depression in youth while elucidating more specific cognitive-interpersonal pathways to depression around the transition from childhood to adolescence in girls. Negative family environment was conceptualized in the current study as a chronic stressor for pre- and early adolescent girls. Participants were 131 girls aged 8 to 14, and their mothers. Participants completed self report measures of family environment and cognitive style about the self, causes, and consequences of negative events. Their mothers completed a self report measure of psychopathology. Participants also completed a diagnostic interview. Contrary to what was expected, mothers' reports of depression and other forms of psychopathology did not predict the level of depression in their daughters. Results did indicate, however, that participants' reports of family environment, including the quality of family relationships and amount of social recreational activity, predicted their level of depression. Participants' reports of inferential styles about causes of stressful events and the self in relation to stressful events also predicted their level of depression. Finally, cognitive styles about causes and the self moderated the relationship between family environment and depression for middle school aged girls but not elementary school aged girls; however, the interaction operated differently than expected. For middle school girls with positive cognitive styles about the self and causes, the relationship between family environment and depression was stronger than for middle school girls with negative cognitive styles about the self and causes. Implications of the results, limitations, and recommendations for future research are provided.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous research demonstrates a marked increase in the occurrence of depression during adolescence, particularly for females. Research has found that this phenomenon is associated with the development of beliefs about the self, world, and future (known as the cognitive triad), which constitutes a potential cognitive vulnerability to depression. Research has also demonstrated that family characteristics, such as cohesion, communication, conflict, social/recreational activity, negative life events, and maternal depression are all related to depression and the development of a negative cognitive style. The purpose of the current study was to build upon previous literature on negative life events, family and cognitive correlates of depression in youth, and analyze specific cognitive-interpersonal pathways to depression for girls transitioning from childhood to adolescence. 194 girls ranging in age from 8 to 14 participated in the study, along with their mothers. Participants completed self-report measures of family environment, beliefs about the self, world, and future, and negative life events. Mothers completed a self-report measure of psychopathology. Participants also completed a diagnostic interview, which served as the primary measure of depressive symptoms. As found in similar studies and consistent with Beck's theory of depression, daughter's reports of cognitive triad predicted the severity of her depressive symptom severity. Moreover, the cognitive triad was found to be the mediating variable in the model; family variables affected daughter's beliefs, which then affected depressive symptom severity. Specifically, girls who endorsed higher family conflict and lower social/recreational activity reported a more negative cognitive triad and subsequently higher levels of depression. Additionally, negative life events significantly affected cognitive triad and indirectly affected depressive symptoms via cognitive triad. Also, the interaction of negative life events and cognitive triad significantly affected depression. Further results indicated that the self subscale of the cognitive triad is a particularly important factor in this model of depression. Contrary to what was expected, mother's reports of depressive symptoms did not predict daughter's cognitive triad or depressive symptoms. Implications of these results, limitations, and recommendations for future research are provided.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pre-adolescent females are at an increased risk for the development of depression; therefore, it is important to understand the factors that contribute to the development and maintenance of depression in this population. Previous research indicates that cognitive style, including beliefs about the self, world, and future, is a vulnerability to the development and maintenance to depression. Research has found that cognitive style is malleable until early adolescence, at which time it begins to solidify and become more difficult to alter. Both parent-child relationships and family messages have been found to be associated with depression and previous research indicates that these factors may contribute to the development of a negative cognitive style. The purpose of the current study was to expand previous research by examining the roles of family functioning, perceived family messages and the cognitive triad in the development of depression for early adolescent girls. The study also explored whether family functioning and perceived family messages contributed to the development of girls' cognitive style (cognitive triad). The study additionally evaluated the proposed model across two ethnic groups (Hispanic, Caucasian) as well as across age (9-10, 11-14) and grade (4-5, 6-8) groups. Participants included early adolescent girls (age 9-14) at risk for the development of, or diagnosed with, a depressive disorder (N = 198). Family functioning, family messages, cognitions, and depressive symptoms were obtained via girls' self-report on a variety of questionnaires. Results from latent variable structural equation modeling indicated a significant direct effect of family functioning on perceived family messages, of perceived family messages on girls' cognitive triad, and of girls' cognitive triad on depressive symptoms. Furthermore, family functioning had a significant indirect effect on girls' cognitive triad while both family functioning and perceived family messages had a significant indirect effect on girls' depressive symptoms. No significant differences were found in the model pathways across ethnicities (Hispanic, Caucasian); however, the cohesion factor loading that was an aspect of family functioning was significantly different across groups, with Hispanic girls' perceptions of family cohesion having a stronger association with family functioning than Caucasian girls. This finding seemingly indicates that cultural components may impact family attributes that are important to family functioning and, thus, role in the development and maintenance of depression in early adolescent girls. No significant differences were found between age or grade groups. Supplemental analyses, in which the model was investigated while controlling for depression, highlighted that the model was not driven by depressive symptoms (i.e. distorted perceptions). Implications, limitations, and areas for further research are discussed.

This book was released on 2009-10-28 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression is a widespread condition affecting approximately 7.5 million parents in the U.S. each year and may be putting at least 15 million children at risk for adverse health outcomes. Based on evidentiary studies, major depression in either parent can interfere with parenting quality and increase the risk of children developing mental, behavioral and social problems. Depression in Parents, Parenting, and Children highlights disparities in the prevalence, identification, treatment, and prevention of parental depression among different sociodemographic populations. It also outlines strategies for effective intervention and identifies the need for a more interdisciplinary approach that takes biological, psychological, behavioral, interpersonal, and social contexts into consideration. A major challenge to the effective management of parental depression is developing a treatment and prevention strategy that can be introduced within a two-generation framework, conducive for parents and their children. Thus far, both the federal and state response to the problem has been fragmented, poorly funded, and lacking proper oversight. This study examines options for widespread implementation of best practices as well as strategies that can be effective in diverse service settings for diverse populations of children and their families. The delivery of adequate screening and successful detection and treatment of a depressive illness and prevention of its effects on parenting and the health of children is a formidable challenge to modern health care systems. This study offers seven solid recommendations designed to increase awareness about and remove barriers to care for both the depressed adult and prevention of effects in the child. The report will be of particular interest to federal health officers, mental and behavioral health providers in diverse parts of health care delivery systems, health policy staff, state legislators, and the general public.

Book excerpt: Previous research demonstrates a marked increase in the occurrence of depression during adolescence, particularly for females. Theorists contend that this phenomenon is associated with the development of beliefs about the self, world, and future (known as the cognitive triad), which constitutes a potential cognitive vulnerability to depression. Research has also demonstrated that family characteristics, such as cohesion, communication, conflict, social/recreational activity, parental messages, parental modeling of beliefs, and maternal depression are all related to depression and the development of depressive cognitions. The purpose of the current study was to build upon previous literature on family and cognitive correlates of depression in youth and analyze specific cognitive-interpersonal pathways to depression for girls transitioning from childhood to adolescence. 165 girls ranging in age from 8 to 14 participated in the study, along with their mothers. Participants completed self-report measures of family environment, beliefs about the self, world, and future, and perceived parental messages regarding the cognitive triad. Mothers completed a self-report measure of psychopathology and an instrument assessing their beliefs about the self, world, and future. Participants also completed a diagnostic interview, which served as the primary measure of depressive symptoms. As found in similar studies and consistent with Beck's theory of depression, daughter's reports of cognitive triad predicted the severity of her depressive symptoms. Moreover, the cognitive triad was found to be the mediating variable in the model; family variables affected daughter's beliefs, which then affected depressive symptomology. Specifically, girls who endorsed higher family conflict, lower social/recreational activity, and more negative parental messages reported more negative cognitive styles and subsequently higher levels of depression. Further results indicated that daughter's beliefs about the self and parent's messages about the future are particularly important factors in this model of depression. Contrary to what was expected, mother's reports of depression and cognitive triad did not predict daughter's cognitive triad or depressive symptoms. Implications of these results and recommendations for future research are provided.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: The Reformulate Theory of Learned Helplessness (RTLH) helps to explain the development of depression. However, learned helplessness (LH), a key component of the RTLH, has dropped out of recent research on cognitive vulnerability models of depression in early adolescents. Purpose: We aimed to study the relationship between LH and depressive symptoms in early adolescents, and more specifically whether the reintegration of LH into a cognitive vulnerability-social support model increases predictability of depressive symptoms. Methods: An extant school-based dataset was examined. Hypothesis: We hypothesized the presence of concurrent, longitudinal, and prospective relationships between LH and depressive symptoms four months later. We also predicted that incorporation of an additive vulnerability variable (composed of LH and attributional style [AS]) into cognitive vulnerability-social support models would aid in predicting changes in depressive symptoms among early adolescent females and males. Data Analysis: We conducted bivariate correlation and hierarchical linear regression analyses with SPSS to test hypotheses. Results: No significant results were found. However, results demonstrated small effect sizes that supported a nuanced understanding of the main-effect model of parent support in females and stress-buffering model of parent support in males. Implications: Future research should continue to examine the role of LH in psychopathology and follow recommendations (such as use of larger, clinical samples of adolescents, different measures of LH and depression, and testing of other models).

This book was released on 2013 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has documented the age of first onset of depression is commonly in adolescence and young adulthood and that prepubertal onsets are occurring at an increasing rate. Thus, targeting interventions prior to this period of increased risk would maximize the opportunity to reduce the incidence of depression. To date, however, the limited research that has been done on protective factors has lacked some consensus and generalizability. This study focused on investigating potential individual and family protective factors and their roles in the development of depressive symptoms in early adolescent girls. More specifically, optimism was investigated as a possible mediator of the relationship between attributional style and depression. Furthermore, attributional style and family environment were hypothesized to moderate the effect of stress on depressive symptomatology. The participants of this study were 120 girls that were part of a school based cognitive behavioral group treatment study for girls with depression aged 9-14. Based on the ratings of symptoms by the girls and their caregivers, on a semi-structured diagnostic interview, two groups were identified: 1) girls that met the diagnostic criteria for a depressive disorder (n= 81), and 2) those that did not (control group; n= 39). Both samples also completed self-report measures of attributional style and family environment (i.e., cohesion, communication, and sociability), in addition to a projective measure which was coded for dispositional optimism. The results of this study suggested higher levels of optimism and more positive attributional styles independently predicted lower levels of depressive symptom severity; however, optimism did not impact the relationship between attributional style and depression. The results also demonstrated that girls who reported their families engage in more social/recreational activities had lower levels of depressive symptoms. Finally, increased life stress was not associated with increased levels of depression. The study's limitations, implications of the results, and recommendations for future research were discussed.

Book excerpt: Adolescenceâ€"beginning with the onset of puberty and ending in the mid-20sâ€"is a critical period of development during which key areas of the brain mature and develop. These changes in brain structure, function, and connectivity mark adolescence as a period of opportunity to discover new vistas, to form relationships with peers and adults, and to explore one's developing identity. It is also a period of resilience that can ameliorate childhood setbacks and set the stage for a thriving trajectory over the life course. Because adolescents comprise nearly one-fourth of the entire U.S. population, the nation needs policies and practices that will better leverage these developmental opportunities to harness the promise of adolescenceâ€"rather than focusing myopically on containing its risks. This report examines the neurobiological and socio-behavioral science of adolescent development and outlines how this knowledge can be applied, both to promote adolescent well-being, resilience, and development, and to rectify structural barriers and inequalities in opportunity, enabling all adolescents to flourish.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression is one of the most common psychological disorders and may be considered as one of the most prevalent forms of emotional/psychological illness among children. The prevalence of depressive disorders tends to rise dramatically during adolescence. Cognitive diathesis-stress models maintain that depression is produced through an interaction between cognitive vulnerability and negative life events. According to Beck, core beliefs are at the core of cognitive vulnerability. After the occurrence of a negative life event, the core belief is activated and influences how the individual interprets the negative life event. Beck maintains that three core beliefs are central to the development and maintenance of depressive disorders: the belief that one is helpless, unlovable, and/or worthless. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a coding system for a storytelling task could reliably assess Beck's core beliefs. In doing so, this study sought to build upon previous research on the relations between negative life events, core beliefs, and depressive symptomatology among pre- and early adolescent females. Participants were 130 girls ranging in age from 9 to 14. All girls completed a self-report measure of life events and a projective story-telling measure that was used to assess their core beliefs. Participants also completed a semi-structured diagnostic interview, which served as the primary measure of depressive symptom severity. In support of previous research, both negative life events and negative core beliefs uniquely predicted the severity of depressive symptoms. Consistent with Beck's cognitive model, the helpless and unlovable core beliefs uniquely predicted severity of depressive symptoms, although the worthless core belief did not. Further examination indicated that the helpless core belief was a more powerful influence on depressive symptoms than were the unlovable and worthless core beliefs. Contrary to Beck's diathesis-stress model, however, negative core beliefs did not moderate the effects of negative life events on depressive symptomatology. For girls aged 9-11, however, a helpless core belief moderated the effects of negative life events on depressive symptom severity. Implications of these results, limitations, and future directions for research are discussed.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The broad goal of the following research project was to identify the relationships that neurobiological and social factors show with both risk and overt expression of depression in adolescent girls. Adolescence is a vulnerable period for the development of depression, particularly for girls. Existing research suggests this vulnerability is rooted in the dynamic interplay between age-typical neurobiological and social changes. Adolescents have heightened sensitivity to social experiences during a time when the brain undergoes significant neural reorganization. In addition, adolescents become more sensitive to social stressors such as negative peer experiences. Heightened depression risk in adolescent girls might be a function of increased sensitivity to social reward as a diathesis, and negative peer social experiences as a stress factor. However, despite its usefulness in pinpointing mechanisms of depression risk, there is a paucity of research integrating neurobiological function and social context in adolescent girls. The current project addressed this gap across two studies by examining neural correlates of social evaluation and depression risk in late adolescent girls, pairing functional neuroimaging with an emotionally evocative social evaluation paradigm. In Study 1, early adolescent depression (ages 11 and 12) was associated with mid-adolescent (ages 12-16) negative self-perceptions among peers and with dampened late adolescent (age 17) response to positive peer social evaluation in prefrontal cortical and subcortical regions of the brain involved in social flexibility. In Study 2, chronic peer victimization experiences across adolescence (ages 10-16) predicted dampened response to negative social evaluation in a distributed network of brain regions involved in affect regulation. Taken together, these studies are among the first to highlight the role of experiences with peers in guiding neurobiological risk for depression in adolescent girls. Specifically, they pinpoint compromised cognitive and affective regulation of peer evaluation as a mechanism of depression risk. This research represents an exciting new avenue for developmental science research that integrates neurobiological and social developmental processes to improve understanding of depression pathophysiology in adolescent girls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timely and authoritative, this unique volume focuses on neurocognitive aspects of depression and their implications for assessment, evaluation, clinical management, and research. Experts in the field explore the impact of depression on executive function, learning and memory, working memory, and other critical capacities, and present cutting-edge assessment tools and procedures. The neurocognitive effects of widely used antidepressant treatments are reviewed, from psychotropic medications and evidence-based psychotherapies to established and emerging neuromodulation technologies. Practical aspects of working with adults across the lifespan with depression are addressed, including ways to strengthen treatment engagement and adherence, and to incorporate cultural considerations.
