Brief report: Associations of parental warmth, peer support, and gender with adolescent emotional distress

Article Abstract:

Parental warmth is associated with reduced adolescent psychological problems, including less antisocial behavior and substance use, whereas, influence of peers on adolescent behaviors depends on the individual's social context, particularly familial relationships and specific types of peer dynamics. Parental warmth is a core component of an adaptive parent-child relationship, and refers to emotional nurturance and affectionate caregiving expressed from a parental figure to the child.

Specificity of relations between adolescents' cognitive emotion regulation strategies and Internalizing and Externalizing psychopathology

Article Abstract:

The extent to which cognitive emotion regulation strategies are 'common determinants' of Internalizing and Externalizing problems and/or 'specific determinants' distinguishing one problem category from the other are examined. The results show that adolescents with Internalizing problems (both pure and comorbid) score significantly higher on the cognitive emotion regulation strategies of self-blame and rumination than those with Externalizing (pure) problems or the control group.

Relations between parenting and externalizing and internalizing problem behavior in early adolescence: Child behavior as moderator and predictor

Article Abstract:

A study seeks to discern the relative and unique effects of different parenting dimensions on adolescent externalizing and internalizing problem behavior, and examines child effects on multiple parenting dimensions. Relations between parenting and problem behavior appeared to be stronger for externalizing than for internalizing problem behavior, and both parenting effects and child effects were found, with an interaction of parent and child characteristics in predicting outcome.
