“…From a theoretical standpoint, these findings are consistent with research that has suggested that the high degree of comorbidity between anxiety and depression is due to a common, underlying construct, alternately referred to as internalizing, general distress, or negative affect [48, 70]. This internalizing factor is consistent with research that has implicated a broad internalizing or general-distress construct underlying anxiety, depression, and to a lesser extent, substance-use disorders in adults and children [44, 45]. The results also suggest that there remains significant value in conceptualizing the anxiety and depressive disorders as separate constructs.…”

Previous research has suggested that the factor structure of anxiety measures is different in African American samples compared to majority population samples. However, these findings may be due to misuse of analytic methods rather than meaningful differences in the underlying presentation of anxiety. To address this, we examined the factor structure of two measures of child anxiety: the Revised Children’s Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS) and the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC) in a sample of 229 African American youth. Contrary to previous research, confirmatory factor analyses yielded good fit for the original factor structures of both measures. These results suggest that the underlying factor structure of these measures may not be significantly different for African American and majority population youth as previously thought. The effect of data analytic procedures on subsequent conclusions and theory is discussed and recommendations are made.

“…Broad internalizing symptoms are well documented in youth [cf. 44], and their measurement shows clinical utility [i.e., 45]. Indeed, higher order structures have been called upon to explain covariation among anxiety disorders and between anxiety and depressive disorders [i.e., 46, 47, 48].…”

“…The Total Parenting Stress score also demonstrated incremental validity as evidenced by its ability to predict parent self-efficacy and parent empowerment over and above the effect of family functioning (Scheel & Rieckmann, 1998). In addition, the PSI Attachment subscale score significantly predicted child levels of narcissism and callous/unemotional traits above and beyond child aggression levels (Fite, Stoppelbein, & Greening, 2008). The PSI demonstrated excellent treatment sensitivity as Total Parenting Stress and child and parent domain scores decreased following various forms of intervention (e.g., parent training, problem solving training, parent-child interaction therapy).…”

Parenting stress is relevant to the development, maintenance, and amelioration of youth mental, emotional, and behavioral health issues. This Evidence Base Update evaluates the empirical literature on the measurement of parenting stress to guide future research and inform clinical decision-making. After a comprehensive literature search, we identified eight well-studied measures of parenting stress, to which we applied the criteria put forth by Hunsley and Mash (2008) and extended by Youngstrom et al. (2017) to evaluate the evidence base for norms, validity, and utility. All measures were rated adequate, good, excellent, or no evidence on 11 psychometric categories (e.g., internal consistency, treatment sensitivity). Overall, the ability of identified measures to accurately and reliably assess parenting stress was strong. Although the psychometrics vary across measures, the aggregated findings support the existence of a parenting stress construct and further confirm the relevance of parenting stress to family functioning, youth psychopathology, and mental health interventions.

“…The PSI is the most widely used measure of parenting stress in parents of young children with a variety of health, developmental and behavioral problems (e.g., Brummelte et al, 2011; Collett, Cloonan, Speltz, Anderka, & Werler, 2012; Faught, Bierl, Barton, & Kemp, 2007; Fite, Stoppelbein, & Greening, 2008; Glenn, Cunningham, Poole, Reeves, & Weindling, 2009; Tu et al, 2007; Webster, Majnemer, Platt, & Shevell, 2008). The PSI long form contains 120 items comprising three domains: Child Domain, Parent Domain, and Life Stress Domain.…”

Higher cortisol is associated with poorer executive functioning in preschool children: The role of parenting stress, parent coping and quality of daycare

Child executive functions (cognitive flexibility, inhibitory control, working memory) are key to success in school. Cortisol, the primary stress hormone, is known to affect cognition; however, there is limited information about how child cortisol levels, parenting factors and child care context relate to executive functions in young children. The aim of this study was to examine relationships between child cortisol, parenting stress, parent coping, and daycare quality in relation to executive functions in children aged 3–5 years. We hypothesized that (1) poorer executive functioning would be related to higher child cortisol and higher parenting stress, and (2) positive daycare quality and positive parent coping style would buffer the effects of child cortisol and parenting stress on executive functions. A total of 101 children (53 girls, 48 boys, mean age 4.24 years ±0.74) with complete data on all measures were included. Three saliva samples to measure cortisol were collected at the child’s daycare/preschool in one morning. Parents completed the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function – Preschool Version (BRIEF-P), Parenting Stress Index (PSI), and Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ). The Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale – Revised (ECERS-R) was used to measure the quality of daycare. It was found that children with poorer executive functioning had higher levels of salivary cortisol, and their parents reported higher parenting stress. However, parent coping style and quality of daycare did not modulate these relationships. Identifying ways to promote child executive functioning is an important direction for improving school readiness.
