This is a longer than usual post because there is an article and two responses. All are available as open text. Unlike some of my posts that try to offer immediately helpful information, this one is more historical and theoretical, but, in my view, has important implications. First, Ackerman (2023) published “Intelligence … moving beyond the lowest common denominator” in American Psychologist. Here’s the highly edited article with some information in bold:

I am especially interested in measurement because those who assess individuals need to be wary of trusting instruments because they are available. Izumi & Eklund (2023) published “Universal Screening for Social-Emotional and Behavioral Risk: Differential item functioning on the SAEBRS” in School Psychology. Here’s the edited abstract and impact statement with some information in bold:

I had never heard the expression “diagnostic overshadowing,” but I now think it’s very important as a reminder to clinicians to be conscientious about primary diagnoses. Wislocki & Zalta (2023) published “Assessing the Existence of Trauma-related Diagnostic Overshadowing in Adult Populations” in Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy. Here’s the edited abstract and impact statement with key information in bold:

I have written before about the greater prevalence of suicide in rural youth (Runkle et al. 2023) and the value of telemedicine in working with rural clients (Kaur et al., 2022). Here, I speak to substance abuse and telepsychiatry. First, Kopak & Raggio (2023) published “Substance Use Disorder and Rural Detention Center Readmission: Results from a 3-year prospective cohort study” in Journal of Rural Mental Health. Here are the impact statement and abstract, edited with some information in bold:

Fitzgerald (2023) published “Serial Indirect Effects from Childhood Maltreatment to Adult Chronic Health Conditions Through Contemporary Family Relationships and Mental Health Problems: Inquiry into sleep disturbances and stress” in Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy. As usual, I have edited the abstract with some information in bold:

This is a long post because it contains information that may well apply to other marginalized groups. Poteat et al. (2023) published “Gender-Sexuality Alliance Meeting Experiences Predict Weekly Variation in Hope among LGBTQ+ Youth” in Child Development. Here’s the highly edited article with some information in bold:

I recently encountered two articles that I think are helpful. First, Hubbard, Moore, Zajac, Bookhout & Dozier (2023) published “Emotion Transmission in Peer Dyads in Middle Childhood” in Child Development. Here’s the abstract with some information in bold:

Mayes, Calhoun & Waschbusch (2023) published “Agreement Between Mother, Father, and Teacher Ratings of Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (Sluggish Cognitive Tempo) in Children with Autism and Children with ADHD” in Psychological Assessment.

Schoppe-Sullivan, Wang, Yang, Kim, Zhang, & Yoon (2023) published “Patterns of Coparenting and Young Children's Social–Emotional Adjustment in Low-income Families” in Child Development. I am providing a long summary here, first from the abstract and research summary, with some points in bold:

Hamel, Cannon & Graham-Kevan (2023) published “The Consequences of Psychological Abuse and Control in Intimate Partner Relationships” in Traumatology. Here’s the abstract with some information in bold:

Increasingly, clinicians report seeing young people with symptoms of psychosis. Karcher, Merchant, Rappaport & Barch (2023) published “Associations with Youth Psychotic-Like Experiences Over Time: Evidence for trans-symptom and specific cognitive and neural risk factors” in Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science. Here’s the abstract and impact statement with some information in bold:

I am presenting two recent studies of stress in transgender and gender-diverse individuals. First, Puckett, Dyar, Maroney, Mustanski & Newcomb (2023) published “Daily Experiences of Minority Stress and Mental Health in Transgender and Gender-Diverse Individuals” in Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science. Here’s an edited version of the abstract and impact statement with some information in bold.:

Dworkin, Schallert, Lee & Kaysen (2023) published “Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial of an App-Based Early Intervention to Reduce PTSD and Alcohol Use Following Sexual Assault” in Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy. Here’s an edited version of the abstract with some information in bold:

Here, I am discussing two articles on affect regulation. First, Everaert, Benisty, Gadassi Polack, Joormann & Mishne (2022) published “Which Features of Repetitive Negative Thinking and Positive Reappraisal Predict Depression? An in-depth investigation using artificial neural networks with feature selection” in Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science. Here’s the edited abstract with some information in bold:

Taylor, Abdurokhmonova & Romeo (2023) published “Socioeconomic Status and Reading Development: Moving from ‘deficit’ to ‘adaptation’ in neurobiological models of experience-dependent learning” in Mind, Brain & Education. This is a long post but I think it’s an important one. I have edited the article extensively and put some information in bold:

Robertson et al. (2023) published “The Bidirectional Effects of Antisocial Behavior, Anxiety, and Trauma Exposure: Implications for our understanding of the development of callous–unemotional traits” in Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science. I want to begin by differentiating primary from secondary variants of callous-unemotional traits; while people with primary variants have callous-unemotional traits and low anxiety, those with secondary variants tend to have callous-unemotional traits, high anxiety, and histories of trauma. Here’s the edited abstract and impact statement with some information in bold:

Livas Stein, Christophe, Castro-Schillo, Alvarado & Robins (2023) published “Longitudinal links between maternal cultural socialization, peer ethnic-racial discrimination, and ethnic-racial pride in Mexican American youth” in Child Development. This article is available as full text so I am dramatically editing it here:

I have indicated before that I like research on attachment. This is an important paper. Cao, Zhou & Leerkes (2023) published “Primiparous Mothers’ Parenting Self-Efficacy in Managing Toddler Distress: Childhood nonsupportive emotion socialization, adult attachment style, and toddler temperament as antecedents” in Emotion.

I have written before about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). The story of ACEs began with physicians recognizing that personal experiences had medical consequences. The approach described here takes the opposite approach – will people with behavioral health problems benefit from having medical services at the same site? Chambers, Thomas, Brimmer, Butcher & Griswold (2023) published “Whole Person Care: Outcomes from a 5-year care model integrating primary care into a behavioral health clinic” in Families, Systems, & Health. Here’s the impact statement and abstract:

This is a long one because I haven’t found a lot on loneliness and I have been intrigued by behavioral inhibition since Kagan first talked about it. Verhagen, Derks, Roelofs & Maciejewski (2022) published “Behavioral Inhibition, Negative Parenting, and Social Withdrawal: Longitudinal associations with loneliness during early, middle, and late adolescence” in Child Development. Here’s an edited version of the article with some information in bold:
