“…A recent review and meta-analysis however, has shown significantly diminished positive affect in social anxiety (Kashdan 2007). Regarding externalizing problems, results of studies that have included indices of positive emotions are mixed: no differences in the display of happiness between aggressive and non-aggressive youth (Orobio de Castro et al 2005), lower state but not trait happiness in delinquent youth than a comparison group (Plattner et al 2007), and higher happiness in response to antisocial acts in adolescent males with conduct disorder have all been reported (Cimbora and McIntosh 2003). We hypothesize that, in addition to high levels of negative emotions, low levels of positive emotions are related to increased levels of anxiety, depression, and aggressive behavior.…”

This study examined the role of the level and variability of happiness, anger, anxiety, and sadness in the development of adolescent-reported anxiety disorder symptoms, depressive symptoms, and aggressive behavior in 452 adolescents (250 male) followed from age 13 to 14. Level and between-day variability of emotions were assessed through adolescent report at 3-month intervals across a 1 year period. Level and variability of the four emotions contributed to changes in anxiety disorder and depressive symptoms more consistently than to changes in aggressive behavior. All four emotions were predictive of changes in internalizing problems, while anger played the most prominent role in the development of aggressive behavior. Variability of emotions contributed to changes in anxiety disorder symptoms, while heightened levels of negative emotions and diminished happiness contributed to changes in depression. Results suggested somewhat stronger effects of negative affect on aggressive behavior for females than for males. Results underscore the role of emotion dysregulation in the development of psychopathology.

“…These youth respond quickly without thinking and have difficulty regulating inhibitions. Dysregulation can result in long-term problems in affect/mood, social relationships, decision making, and anger management (Plattner et al, 2007). Accordingly these youth may require more potent interventions than skills training alone.…”

Through this study the authors evaluate the Prodigy Cultural Arts Program, an early prevention program for adjudicated youth. A quasi experimental pre- and posttest was conducted. A significant reduction in mental health symptoms (particularly for females) and behavioral dysregulation (particularly for males), and increases in academic performance and family functioning were found. There was also a relationship between decreased mental health symptomology and perceived academic performance. The Prodigy Cultural Arts Program appears to be successful in intervening with youth who present challenges to the juvenile justice system due to the complexity of their mental health symptoms, behavioral regulation difficulties, and/or gender.

“…Risk factors for suicidal ideation among university students include symptoms of psychopathology such as depression 2 and anxiety 33 as well as drug and alcohol abuse, 34 lack of social support from family and friends, 35,36 conflict with parents, 37 affective dysregulation, 38 and susceptibility to irritability and negative affect. 39 Although suicidal ideation among university students has been associated with depressive symptoms, it has also been found among groups of students with subclinical depressive symptoms.…”

State and Trait Emotions in Delinquent Adolescents

Abstract: Adolescent delinquents appear to have a different experience of negative emotions than comparison adolescents. The experience of emotions appears to differ in state and trait conditions. These emotions may be related to childhood experiences of trauma.
