“…Both parents and children thus filled out a rating scale about the childrenÕs emotional symptoms and behavioural problems. However, several studies, carried out before and after the current study, have shown that there is a low correlation between the parentsÕ ratings and the childrenÕs self-ratings of their psychological problems (144)(145)(146)(147), which applies to refugee populations as well (148,149).…”

Montgomery E. Trauma, exile and mental health in young refugees.Objective: To review evidence of trauma and exile‐related mental health in young refugees from the Middle East.Method: A review of four empirical studies: i) a qualitative study of 11 children from torture surviving families, ii) a cohort study of 311 3–15‐year‐old asylum‐seeking children, iii) a qualitative study of 14 members of torture surviving families and iv) a follow‐up study of 131 11–23‐year‐old refugees.Results: The reactions of the children were not necessarily post‐traumatic stress disorder specific. Seventy‐seven per cent suffered from anxiety, sleep disturbance and/or depressed mood at arrival. Sleep disturbance (prevalence 34%) was primarily predicted by a family history of violence. At follow‐up, 25.9% suffered from clinically relevant psychological symptoms. Traumatic experiences before arrival and stressful events in exile predicted internalizing behaviour, witnessing violence and frequent school changes in exile predicted externalizing behaviour. School participation, Danish friends, language proficiency and mother’s education predicted less long‐term psychological problems.Conclusion: Psychological problems are frequent in refugee children, but the extents are reduced over time in exile. Traumatic experience before arrival is most important for the short‐term reaction of the children while aspects of life in exile are important for the children’s ability to recover from early traumatization.

“…Second, agreement on child psychopathology assessment appears to vary according to the nature of a child's problems. Parent-child concordance appears to be better for externalizing symptoms and observable behaviors than for internalizing or internal states (Salbach-Andrae et al, 2009). In a study with male adolescents, parents, and teachers, the parent-adolescent concordance in externalizing symptoms was higher than internalizing symptoms, whereas parent-teacher or teacher-adolescent agree-ments regarding internalizing and externalizing symptoms were not significantly different (Youngstrom et al, 2000).…”

“…More specifically, adaptive and maladaptive ER strategies were measured in our study on the basis of child's selfreport, while temperamental reactivity and depressive symptoms were measured by using mother's report. An alternative possible explanation is that the social desirability or ignorance prevented the mothers from reporting accurately on their children's depressive symptoms, leading to underreporting (Salbach-Andrae et al 2009). Nevertheless, we can conclude that the results of our study, in combination with previous findings, underline the need of further longitudinal research with multi-method and multiinformant designs to provide a clear understanding of ER and its role in the relationship between temperamental reactivity and depressive symptoms in adolescents.…”

Associations Between Temperament, Emotion Regulation, and Depression in Youth: The Role of Positive Temperament

For a long time, associations between temperamental reactivity, emotion regulation (ER) strategies, and depression in youth were studied with a primary focus on the adverse impact of the negative emotionality (NE) temperament dimension and maladaptive ER strategies. The current study aims to answer the question whether positive emotionality (PE) and adaptive ER strategies also play a role in these associations. In a convenience sample of 176 youth (9-18 years; M = 13.58, SD = .94) data were obtained on NE and PE, the use of both maladaptive and adaptive ER strategies, and depressive symptoms. Results indicate that higher levels of NE and lower levels of PE were both associated with more depressive symptoms. Additionally, we found the interaction of NE and PE to be significantly related to depressive symptoms, with lower levels of PE being a vulnerability factor, facilitating the relationship between higher levels of NE and symptoms. Third, higher levels of NE were associated with the use of more maladaptive ER strategies, but were unrelated to adaptive ER strategies. There was no association between PE, and either maladaptive or adaptive ER strategies. Fourth, higher levels of maladaptive ER strategies, and lower levels of adaptive ER strategies were both associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms. Finally, no evidence was found for the mediation of ER strategies in the relationship between temperamental reactivity and depressive symptoms. Current study findings underline the need of identifying resilience factors for depression in youth. Insight into such factors is pivotal for the successful development and implementation of prevention and intervention programs.
