Abstract Details

2016, Doctor of Philosophy, Case Western Reserve University, Psychology.
Differences in emotion processing and regulation are implicated in many psychosocial outcomes in youth, and may be measured not only by self-report, but also by objective psychophysiological response to stimuli. A growing literature identifies central nervous system patterns of emotion regulation and processing to be a risk/resilience factor in childhood and adolescent depression, yet relatively little is known about what can affect and predict these patterns. The current study will extend research on peripheral measures of emotion regulation into investigation of the role that electroencephalographic (EEG) emotion regulation and processing patterns play in risk for youth depression, especially in the context of maternal depression. Mothers and their daughters (ages 10-14) participated as dyads (N = 26) in a laboratory visit after completing self-report assessments. Daughters viewed a series of emotional faces to provoke brain response to affective stimuli via the late positive potential (LPP) EEG component. Outcome measures are daughter LPP to happy, neutral, and sad faces, youth self-report of cognitive emotion regulation style, youth-report of parenting behaviors, and maternal and youth self-report of depressive symptomology near time of visit. Results showed the relationship between maternal depression and youth LPP was moderated by two youth cognitive emotion regulation scales - acceptance and positive reappraisal - as well as two youth-reported parenting styles - parental involvement and positive parenting. Clinical implications suggest that these operate as risk/resilience factors for adaptive emotion processing.
