“…Social support seeking may be more effective in ameliorating depressive symptoms among emerging adults relative to adolescents as a result of more mature neural circuitry supporting improved social cognition abilities that facilitate communication (Burnett & Blakemore, 2009). Adolescents’ ability to communicate their needs and determine the most appropriate source of support also may be adversely impacted by relatively underdeveloped executive functioning skills (Burnett & Blakemore, 2009), as well as a lack of social experience or use of maladaptive social support strategies such as co-rumination (Spendelow, Simonds, & Avery, 2016). Both adolescents and emerging adults report an increased reliance on peers (vs. family members) for support (Amirkhan & Auyeung, 2007; Gelhaar et al, 2007).…”

Age-varying associations between coping and depressive symptoms throughout adolescence and emerging adulthood

The objective of the current study was to apply the novel technique of time-varying effect modeling to examine age-varying associations between specific coping strategies and depressive symptoms across adolescence and emerging adulthood (ages 14-24). The participants were drawn from a community sample and followed across 4 years of high school and once 5 years postgraduation (N = 1,251, 53% female, 58% non-Hispanic White). Coping and depressive symptom questionnaires were administered across all data collection time points. Time-varying effect modeling used all available data (N = 5,651 measurement occasions) and adjusted for gender. Venting emotions and denial were associated with more depressive symptoms at a similar magnitude across adolescence and emerging adulthood. A positive association between problem solving oriented strategies (planning, active coping) and depressive symptoms was not observed until age 17.5, after which the magnitude of the association strengthened. More frequent instrumental and emotional support seeking were linked to fewer depressive symptoms between ages 18.8 and 23.6. More frequent use of humor was associated with greater depressive symptoms from ages 14.0 to 14.6, but with fewer depressive symptoms from ages 16.8 to 18.8. The findings illuminate when and how associations between specific coping strategies and depressive symptoms may emerge and change across developmental age, generating both theoretical and clinical implications.

“…Male and female mentees tend to be referred to mentoring programs for different reasons, with male referrals more commonly stemming from the need for a male role model, while female mentees are more often referred because of relational challenges with their primary caregivers (Rhodes et al 2008). Moreover, there is some indication that, relative to males, females are more prone to co-rumination in their dyadic relationships, a process that could attenuate positive effects (Splendelow et al 2017). Consistent with these ideas, DuBois and colleagues' (2011) meta-analysis demonstrated that programs serving a greater proportion of male mentees had stronger effects.…”

Mentoring programs, which pair youth with caring, non-parental adults with the goal of promoting positive youth development, are an increasingly popular strategy for early intervention with at-risk youth. However, important questions remain about the extent to which these interventions improve youth outcomes. The present study involved a comprehensive meta-analysis of all outcome studies of intergenerational, one-on-one youth mentoring programs written in the English language between 1975 and 2017, using rigorous inclusion criteria designed to align with developmental theories of youth mentoring. Analysis of 70 mentoring outcome studies, with a sample size of 25,286 youth (average age of 12 years old), yielded a statistically significant effect of mentoring programs across all youth outcomes. The observed effect size fell within the medium/moderate range according to empirical guidelines derived from universal prevention programs for youth, and was consistent with past meta-analyses of youth mentoring. Moderation analyses indicated that programs serving a larger proportion of male youth, deploying a greater percentage of male mentors or mentors with a helping profession background, and requiring shorter meetings yielded larger effect sizes, as did evaluations that relied on questionnaires and youth selfreport. Taken together, these findings provide some support for the efficacy of mentoring interventions, while also emphasizing the need to remain realistic about the modest impact of these programs as currently implemented, and highlighting opportunities for improving the quality and rigor of mentoring practices.

“…The general form of co-rumination has been linked to higher internalizing symptoms [50]. Although corumination has been associated with greater psychological difficulty concurrently and prospectively, there are no current studies examining general co-ruminative practices in individuals with EDs.…”

Individuals with eating disorders (EDs) frequently report interpersonal and affective dysfunction. A useful lens for uniting these ideas is through the framework of interpersonal emotion regulation (IER), which consists of the ways others assist a distressed individual and how this shapes his or her subsequent emotional, behavioral, and cognitive responses. In this theoretical review, we provide an overview of the rationale for exploring IER and review IER processes in this population using the framework of the Process Model of Emotion Regulation. Finally, we offer suggestions for next steps in conducting research. IER offers a parsimonious way to explore social and emotional constructs related to ED pathology and may provide potential targets for prevention and intervention in these difficult-to-treat disorders.
