“…We interpret these as transdiagnostic bridge symptoms, or symptoms that might be important unifiers of psychopathology in adolescence. Six of these symptoms were again relevant to interpersonal irritability, a finding that is consistent with interpersonal theories of developmental psychopathology, which posit that diverse psychopathologies arise from conflict between interpersonal difficulties and basic needs for kinship (Rudolph, Lansford, & Rodkin, 2016). Particularly given that our longitudinal analyses demonstrated that symptoms of interpersonal irritability predicted future internalizing symptoms (and vice versa), it is intriguing to speculate whether psychological interventions targeting interpersonal irritability would decrease rates of comorbidity between internalizing and externalizing psychopathology.…”

Comorbidity is pervasive across psychopathological symptoms, diagnoses, and domains. Network analysis is a method for investigating symptom-level associations that underlie comorbidity, particularly through bridge symptoms connecting diagnostic syndromes. We applied network analyses of comorbidity to data from a population-based sample of adolescents ( N = 849). We implemented a method for assessing nonparametric moderation of psychopathology networks to evaluate differences in network structure across levels of intelligence and emotional control. Symptoms generally clustered by clinical diagnoses, but specific between-cluster bridge connections emerged. Internalizing symptoms demonstrated unique connections with aggression symptoms of interpersonal irritability, whereas externalizing symptoms showed more diffuse interconnections. Aggression symptoms identified as bridge nodes in the cross-sectional network were enriched for longitudinal associations with internalizing symptoms. Cross-domain connections did not significantly vary across intelligence but were weaker at lower emotional control. Our findings highlight transdiagnostic symptom relationships that may underlie co-occurrence of clinical diagnoses or higher-order factors of psychopathology.

“…The family setting is a strategic target for implementing preventive approaches for adolescent depression and anxiety (also known as internalizing) disorders. As posited by interpersonal theories of developmental psychopathology, internalizing problems both result from and contribute to disruptions in developmentally salient interpersonal processes (starting with early parent-infant attachment), which in turn interfere with young people’s need for relatedness [7]. From an etiological perspective, parents have an important influence on young people’s risk for internalizing problems, in terms of both nature and nurture.…”

BackgroundPrevention of depression and anxiety disorders early in life is a global health priority. Evidence on risk and protective factors for youth internalizing disorders indicates that the family represents a strategic setting to target preventive efforts. Despite this evidence base, there is a lack of accessible, cost-effective preventive programs for parents of adolescents. To address this gap, we recently developed the Partners in Parenting (PiP) program—an individually tailored Web-based parenting program targeting evidence-based parenting risk and protective factors for adolescent depression and anxiety disorders. We previously reported the postintervention outcomes of a single-blinded parallel-group superiority randomized controlled trial (RCT) in which PiP was found to significantly improve self-reported parenting compared with an active-control condition (educational factsheets).ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of the PiP program on parenting risk and protective factors and symptoms of adolescent depression and anxiety using data from the final assessment time point (12-month follow-up) of this RCT.MethodsParents (n=359) and adolescents (n=332) were recruited primarily from secondary schools and completed Web-based assessments of parenting and adolescent depression and anxiety symptoms at baseline, postintervention (3 months later), and 12-month follow-up (317 parents, 287 adolescents). Parents in the PiP intervention condition received personalized feedback about their parenting and were recommended a series of up to 9 interactive modules. Control group parents received access to 5 educational factsheets about adolescent development and mental health. Both groups received a weekly 5-min phone call to encourage progress through their program.ResultsIntervention group parents completed an average of 73.7% of their intended program. For the primary outcome of parent-reported parenting, the intervention group showed significantly greater improvement from baseline to 12-month follow-up compared with controls, with a medium effect size (Cohen d=0.51; 95% CI 0.30 to 0.72). When transformed data were used, greater reduction in parent-reported adolescent depressive symptoms was observed in the intervention group (Cohen d=−0.21; 95% CI −0.42 to −0.01). Mediation analyses revealed that these effects were mediated by improvements in parenting (indirect effect b=−0.08; 95% CI −0.16 to −0.01). No other significant intervention effects were found for adolescent-reported parenting or adolescent depression or anxiety symptoms. Both groups showed significant reductions in anxiety (both reporters) and depressive (parent reported) symptoms.ConclusionsPiP improved self-reported parenting for up to 9 months postintervention, but its effects on adolescent symptoms were less conclusive, and parent-reported changes were not perceived by adolescents. Nonetheless, given its scalability, PiP may be a useful low-cost, sustainable program to empower parents of adolescents.Trial RegistrationAustralian Clinical Tria...

“…Given our a priori focus on the social pain network, we investigated three neural regions of interest (ROIs) that have been implicated as reactive to social feedback in the form of exclusion, including the dACC, sgACC, and anterior insula (Eisenberger, ; Falk et al., ; Masten et al., , ; Sebastian et al., ; for a review, see Rotge et al., ). Adolescent girls were the focus of study given evidence for their heightened sensitivity to social cues (Guyer et al., ), greater emotional reactivity to social stressors (Rudolph, Flynn, Abaied, Groot, & Thompson, ; Rudolph, Lansford, & Rodkin, ; Shih, Eberhart, Hammen, & Brennan, ), including family disturbances (Davies & Windle, ; Rudolph & Flynn, ), and elevated risk for depressive symptoms (Rudolph, ). We predicted that stressful parent–child relationships would be associated with particularly high levels of subsequent depressive symptoms, whereas supportive parent–child relationships would be associated with particularly low levels of subsequent depressive symptoms in girls who showed heightened neural sensitivity to social cues.…”

This research examined whether heightened neural activation to social cues confers adjustment advantages in supportive social contexts but adjustment disadvantages in stressful social contexts. Forty-five adolescent girls were exposed to social exclusion during an fMRI scan and reported on parent-child relationship quality and depressive symptoms. Stressful parent-child relationships predicted subsequent depressive symptoms in girls with high and moderate but not low dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, subgenual anterior cingulate cortex, and anterior insula activation during exclusion. In the context of supportive parent-child relationships, however, neural activation to exclusion predicted particularly low levels of depressive symptoms. This support for a biological sensitivity to context model suggests the possibility of redirecting adolescent girls' neural sensitivity to social cues toward more positive adaptation.
