Happily Arguing: The Role Of Parental Positive Emotions During Interparental Conflict On Child Functioning, Hannah Childs Woolfolk
Happily Arguing: The Role Of Parental Positive Emotions During Interparental Conflict On Child Functioning, Hannah Childs Woolfolk
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
Research is lacking regarding the role of positive emotions expressed by parents during interparental conflict (IPC) on child functioning. This study examined the relationship between parents’ expressions of positive emotions (PE) during IPC and child functioning. Child functioning measures included children’s feelings of happiness during an IPC laboratory task between their parents, cognitions regarding IPC in the home, feelings of emotional security in the marital system, and psychological adjustment (i.e., internalizing and externalizing behaviors, and depression). In addition, this study tested whether PE predicted these measures of child functioning above and beyond conflict resolution, and whether child temperamental surgency moderated …

Parsing Heterogenity In Non-Episodic, Pediatric Irritability: A Transdiagnostic, Research Domain Criteria Informed Approach, Merelise Rose Ametti
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
Background: Approximately 7% of clinically referred youth exhibit profound impairment in the ability to regulate their affect, behavior, and cognition. This phenotype – often referred to as dysregulation – has been associated with a multitude of negative outcomes. Symptom overlap between dysregulation and other psychological disorders has generated debate regarding whether DP constitutes a distinct syndrome characterized by intense, persistent irritability or is merely the combination of symptoms from disruptive or mood disorders. In order to elucidate this question, the current study examined the transdiagnostic continuities and discontinuities in three RDoC constructs (frustrative non-reward, acute threat, and cognitive control) proposed …
The Structure Of Parent-Child Coping Interactions As A Predictor Of Adjustment In Middle Childhood: A Dynamic Systems Perspective, Sarah Budney Stanger
The Structure Of Parent-Child Coping Interactions As A Predictor Of Adjustment In Middle Childhood: A Dynamic Systems Perspective, Sarah Budney Stanger
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
This study applied a contemporary dynamic systems methodology (state space grids) to examine how the structure of parent-child coping interactions, above and beyond the content of such interactions, influences adjustment (i.e., internalizing problems, externalizing problems, and coping efficacy) over time in middle childhood. A community sample of children (N = 65) completed a stressful laboratory task with a parent present, during which parent and child behavior were observed. Parent behavior during the task was coded using a socialization of coping framework. Parents' verbal suggestions to their child about how to cope with the stressful task were coded as primary control …
