155
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Psychological Responses to Stress01:20

Psychological Responses to Stress

335
Psychological responses to stress encompass the various cognitive and emotional reactions individuals experience when faced with challenging or threatening situations, such as a job loss. Prolonged exposure to stressors can disturb emotional balance, increasing negative emotions (e.g., anxiety and sadness) and diminishing positive emotions (e.g., joy and satisfaction). These persistent emotional shifts are associated with an increased risk of both physical illness and mental health issues, such...

Chronic stress profoundly affects mental health, significantly influencing mood, behavior, and overall quality of life. Research closely links chronic stress with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Ongoing exposure to stress can lead to physiological and psychological changes, initiating a cycle of emotional distress and maladaptive coping mechanisms.
Individuals with depression often experience challenges in both their personal and professional...

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder01:27

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

270
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that arises following exposure to traumatic events such as natural disasters, forced displacement, or severe accidents. It significantly impairs individuals' ability to cope with daily activities and disrupts their emotional and psychological equilibrium.
Symptoms and Behavioral Manifestations
A spectrum of distressing symptoms characterizes PTSD. Recurrent flashbacks, where individuals involuntarily relive traumatic events,...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Public Health

Background:

  • COVID-19-related social isolation and stress can significantly impact mental health, particularly in vulnerable populations like adolescents with a history of childhood adversity (CA).
  • Understanding protective factors is crucial for mitigating the adverse mental health effects of the pandemic on at-risk youth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine whether pre-pandemic emotion regulation capacity, inflammation, and neuroimmune responses predict responses to COVID-19-related stress and isolation in adolescents with CA.
  • To elucidate the mechanisms underlying mental health resilience in vulnerable adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Main Methods:

  • Recruited 79 adolescents (aged 16-26) with CA experiences.
  • Collected longitudinal questionnaire data at baseline (April 2020), 3 months (July 2020), and 6 months (October 2020) post-UK lockdown.
  • Utilized multilevel modeling to analyze associations between baseline individual differences and responses to pandemic-related stressors.

Main Results:

  • Data collection completed across multiple phases of the pandemic.
  • Analysis will examine associations between pre-pandemic psychological and biological factors and mental health outcomes.
  • Longitudinal data provides insights into adaptation and resilience throughout the pandemic.

Conclusions:

  • Identifying resilience factors in adolescents with CA is critical for targeted mental health interventions.
  • The study aims to uncover mechanisms enabling vulnerable youth to maintain mental well-being amidst the COVID-19 crisis.
  • Findings will inform strategies to support adolescent mental health during and after pandemics.
