Whereas socialization influences in early childhood have been linked to children's emerging internalizing problems and prosocial behavior, relatively few studies have examined how NE might moderate such associations in both advantageous and maladaptive ways. Furthermore, more research is needed to evaluate the impact of sibling relationships as an influential socialization influence on these ch...

Although childhood sexual abuse (CSA) appears to have an impact on personality, it does not affect all survivors the same way. The goal of this study was to identify common personality patterns in women with a history of CSA. A national sample of randomly selected psychologists and psychiatrists described 74 adult female patients with a history of CSA and a comparison group of 74 without CSA us...

Younger siblings of children with ASD often exhibit elevated internalizing and externalizing problems. We investigated common dopaminergic variants (DRD4 and DRD2) in relation to behavior problems at 36 months. Genotypes linked to less efficient dopaminergic functioning were associated with higher internalizing problems in high-risk siblings.

Internalizing and externalizing problems are common targets for school mental health screening. Prior research supports the interpretation of scores from Youth Problems Screener (YIPS) Externalizing (YEPS), which were developed separately yet intended as companion measures. We extended previous work by evaluating psychometric defensibility integrated measurement models that combined items YIPS ...

We have previously shown that, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) labeled with the Auger electron emitter I are more in vitro, 125 cytotoxic if they remain at the cell surface and do not internalize in the cytoplasm. Here, we assessed the biological efficiency in vivo of internalizing and non internalizing I-labeled mAbs for the treatment of small solid tumors. 125

Atypical respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), a biomarker of emotion dysregulation, is associated with both externalizing and internalizing behaviors. In addition, social adversity and gender may moderate this association. In this study, we investigated if RSA (both resting RSA and RSA reactivity in an emotion regulation task) predicts externalizing and/or internalizing behaviors and the extent ...

The current study filled significant gaps in our knowledge of developmental psychopathology by examining the influence of multilevel risk factors and developmental assets on longitudinal trajectories of internalizing symptoms and self-esteem in an exceptionally culturally diverse sample of rural adolescents. Integrating ecological and social capital theories, we explored if positive microsystem...

Abstract The literature on tax competition has argued that base equalization, which reduces regional disparities in bases, can serve as a means of internalizing horizontal and vertical fiscal externalities. This argument assumes each government relies single (a mobile capital federal savings). paper considers the case distortionary labor is also available. Internalizing externalities requires w...

BACKGROUND Difficult conditions during childhood can limit an individual's development in many ways. Factors such as being raised in an at-risk family, child temperamental traits or maternal traits can potentially influence a child's later behaviour. The present study investigated the extent of regulatory problems in 6-month-old infants and their link to temperamental traits and impact on exter...

The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline Factor analyses among adults have indicated that the structure of common mental disorders may be described parsimoniously with a two factor model, with mood and anxiety disorders loading on a...
