“…Whereas interactions with peers are known to have increasing value during adolescence (Larson and Richards 1991), relationships with parents remain important to adolescents' affective functioning (Morris et al 2007). Notably, peer social support does not always serve a protective function for depression in young people (Auerbach et al 2011;Desjardins and Leadbeater 2011), and factors such as co-rumination can link peer social contexts with depressive and anxiety symptoms (Tompkins et al 2011). Family support is stably related to PA and NA in natural settings across adolescent development (Weinstein et al 2006), and support from fathers in particular has been observed as buffering the association between social stress and depressive symptoms over time (Desjardins and Leadbeater 2011).…”

Objective: Response to treatment in child and adolescent affective disorders is variable, with limited ability of any one treatment to improve outcome across patients. Unfortunately, we know little about the factors that explain this variability in treatment response. Individual differences in the social and affective dynamics of daily life could help to elucidate the characteristics of youth who respond to treatment. Methods: We used ecological momentary assessment of negative affect, positive affect, and companions in natural settings over 4 days in a sample of young people with depressive and anxiety disorders who participated in an 8-week open trial of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), or a combination of the two. Clinicians rated participants' clinical severity at five time points, and participants reported their symptoms before and after treatment. Latent growth curve models were used to predict rate of change in clinical severity from pretreatment affect in natural settings. Results: Participants with high positive affect (PA), low negative affect (NA), and a high PA:NA ratio at baseline had lower severity, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms at the end of treatment. Lower posttreatment symptoms were associated with spending more time with fathers and less time with peers before treatment. Although baseline affect was not associated with initial symptom severity, high NA and low PA:NA at baseline were related to slower rate of decline of severity during treatment. When baseline symptoms were included in models, NA and PA:NA predicted rate of decline in severity during treatment, whereas self-reported depressive and anxiety symptoms at baseline did not. Conclusion: A more typical profile of baseline affective functioning in natural settings-that is, lower NA and higher PAand time with fathers, could provide a foundation for treatment response in children and adolescents. Affective and social dynamics in natural settings could ultimately help investigate which young people might benefit from current treatments.

“…Additional characteristics of the individuals' social network such as number of friends and time spent using social networks and in depth demographics were also not assessed. Number of friends has been shown to be negatively related to personality factors such as shyness (Orr et al, 2009) and to corumination (Tompkins et al, 2011). Future research should expand upon details of individuals' social networks that could influence online behaviors.…”

“…However, number of friends has been negatively associated with corumination in which individuals who coruminate more often have fewer friends. (Tompkins, Hockett, Abraibesh, & Witt, 2011). Research on corumination has also shown that the amount of corumination occurring in friendships was positively related to depression and anxiety (Rose et al, 2007).…”

“…Adult women are more likely than adult men to endorse Facebook relationship status as containing more meaning such as exclusive relationships and long-term stability (Fox & Warber, 2013) and report having more online relationships (Nice & Katzev, 1988). Women are also more likely than men to exhibit higher levels of internalizing problems (Tompkins et al, 2011). Although Facebook is used more often for social interaction, Facebook has been associated with identity expression in emerging adulthood (Pempek et al, 2009).…”

Over the past decade, researchers have learned a great deal about the outcomes of corumination, or dyadic tendencies in which two members excessively discuss and revisit problems while focusing on negative feelings (Rose, 2002). Research indicates that corumination is linked to closer friendship quality in youths, but also greater emotional disturbance (e.g., depression and anxiety; Rose, 2002;Rose, Carlson & Waller, 2007). Surprisingly, little is known about the predictors of co-rumination. The current study addressed whether attachment, rumination, and trait depression are predictive of corumination. In addition, this research evaluated co-rumination in relation to interdependence theory by proposing that it is subjected to the impacts from both the individuals' and their friend's attachment representations, rumination, and trait depression. It was hypothesized that more anxiously attached, depressive, and ruminative individuals would engage in more co-rumination with a close friend. Furthermore, it was hypothesized that having a friend who is more anxious, more depressive, or more ruminative may drive an individual to engage in more co-rumination. Results revealed that an individual's attachment avoidance was significantly related to their own (actor effect) and their friend's (partner effect) co-rumination. Also, an individual's attachment anxiety was significantly related to their friend's (partner level) co-rumination. Interestingly, gender moderated the effect of attachment avoidance on co-rumination at the actor and partner levels and gender moderated the effect of attachment anxiety on corumination at the partner level. Furthermore, an interaction emerged between friendship duration and trait depression on co-rumination at the actor level. Considering the adjustment trade-offs of co-rumination, it is important to understand the predictors of corumination as well as the consequences of it in order to effectively apply intervention efforts. Thus, the findings from the current study have significant practical implications. Furthermore, evidence from this study advances previous research that has primarily gathered information from only one friend, despite the dyadic nature of the construct.
