“…This diathesis could involve a variety of emotional, neurobiological, and cognitive processes that are influenced by CAs, including heightened vulnerability to stress (McLaughlin et al , 2010c), elevated emotional reactivity and poor emotion regulation skills (McLaughlin et al , 2010a, McCrory et al , 2011, McLaughlin et al , 2015, Heleniak et al , 2016), and deficits in cognitive control (DePrince et al , 2009). Each of these domains, in turn, has been proposed as mechanisms that may underlie PEs (Freeman et al , 2007, Bentall et al , 2009, Bentall et al , 2014, Morgan and Gayer-Anderson, 2016). CAs related to maladaptive family functioning may differentially lead to social deafferentation and social defeat (at the individual and/or family level), which has been linked to risk of PEs (Morgan and Gayer-Anderson, 2016).…”
