Summary: Maternal characteristics and mother-adolescent relationships are important factors in adolescent emotional development, as mothers serve as models for adolescents to learn emotional regulation. Maternal autonomy support also plays a role in facilitating this process. This study suggests that both maternal emotion dysregulation and autonomy support, as well as adolescent emotion dysregulation, are associated with each other.

Summary: This study examined the associations between attachment, emotion goals, and emotion regulation. The findings showed that attachment avoidance was linked to fewer pro-hedonic goals, more suppression, and fewer emotion communication, while attachment anxiety was linked to fewer pro-hedonic goals, more pro-social, performance, and impression management goals, and more suppression and rumination. The results highlight the role of attachment as an important antecedent of emotion goals.

Summary: This study found that adolescents with anxious attachment developed more depressive symptoms through increased brooding and dampening of emotions, while avoidantly attached adolescents developed more depressive symptoms through decreased focusing. These findings provide longitudinal support for attachment theory's emotion regulation hypothesis, and emphasize the importance of regulating both negative and positive affect.

Summary: The study found that anxious attachment and avoidant attachment are positively related to various negative physical and mental health symptoms. However, only attachment anxiety, and not attachment avoidance, proved to be a significant predictor of most health symptom classes when controlled simultaneously. These relationships were mediated by emotion regulation difficulties.

Summary: The study found that adolescents with disorganized attachment had more difficulties in promoting autonomy, relatedness, and regulating emotions compared to organized individuals. Dismissing adolescents, on the other hand, showed more challenges only during the interview process and displayed behaviors undermining autonomy and relatedness during interactions.

Summary: Interpersonal goals and adult attachment have significant implications for how individuals interact with others and experience and regulate emotions. This study explores the relationships between interpersonal emotion regulation motives, perceived social interaction outcomes, and attachment. The findings suggest that attachment anxiety is associated with more self-focused prohedonic and impression management motives, while attachment avoidance predicts less perceived increases in emotional and relational well-being after interactions. Additionally, motives such as prohedonic, impression management, and relationship maintenance are related to positive emotional and relational outcomes, while self-focused performance and relationship distancing motives are associated with negative outcomes.

Summary: Teen dating violence is a complex issue with deleterious consequences, and this study identified four distinct patterns of teen dating violence in heterosexual relationships, with the last pattern differing greatly based on gender. Adolescents experiencing more complex patterns of dating violence showed higher levels of emotion dysregulation and attachment insecurities.

Summary: Despite little knowledge about the neurodevelopmental course, this study examined the neural correlates of insecure attachment in a diverse sample of adolescents. The findings suggest that negative emotional experiences may be uniquely aversive for avoidantly attached adolescents and provide preliminary evidence that early coping strategies may persist into adolescence in the form of altered emotion- and reward-related neural patterns.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sleep quality and emotion regulation difficulties in adolescents during COVID-19 lockdown in Peru. The results showed a clear association between worse sleep quality and more difficulties in emotion regulation, especially in the domains of goal-directed behavior, emotional clarity, and strategies to deal with distress. Girls and older adolescents endorsed worse sleep quality and more difficulties in emotion regulation.

Summary: Through a 12-week emotion regulation and impulse control program, young people showed significant improvement in emotion dysregulation, as well as decreases in depression, anxiety, stress, and experiential avoidance. Moderation analyses indicated that changes in emotion dysregulation impacted the changes in other symptoms over time.

Summary: The study found that attachment influences emotion regulation and depressive symptoms, with the cumulative number of secure attachment relationships having a linear impact on sadness regulation and depressive symptoms. Sadness regulation plays a significant mediating role in the relationship between attachment and depressive symptoms.

Summary: Fast and accurate screening for mental health problems in early childhood is crucial for effective early intervention, and the German version of ECSA is a valid tool with good concurrent validity. It can differentiate externalizing and internalizing problems, accurately identify children at risk, and show specific associations with various psychological factors.

Summary: Family risks have a negative impact on children's attachment development, and this study reveals that parental sensitivity plays different roles in early attachment development. It acts as both a mediator of the effects of risk on attachment and a moderator that buffers the adverse consequences of risk.

Summary: Most studies on gene-environment effects on self-regulation focus on early childhood or adulthood. This study examines the longitudinal effects during middle childhood and adolescence, as well as the two domains of early caregiving. The results show that early maternal regulation quality predicts later personality development and problem behavior in children, and there are also significant gene-environment interactions.

Summary: How parents cope with stress as a couple is related to child mental health problems. This study found that during the transition to parenthood, most couples experienced a decline in positive coping and an increase in negative coping. If fathers' positive coping declined or parents' negative coping increased, it was associated with more emotional and behavioral problems in children.

Summary: Attachment security and dependency have significant impacts on children's mental health. The reciprocal effects of attachment to each parent within the family influence child symptomatology, providing insights into developmental processes. In this study, the influence of child-mother and child-father attachment security and dependency on children's emotional and behavioral problems was examined. Results showed that attachment security to both parents has promotive effects on child symptoms. Additionally, there were actor and partner effects of child-mother attachment security and child-father dependency on maternal ratings of child symptomatology. Attachment security to both parents is important for child mental health, and the family systems perspective sheds light on the significance of child-father relationships for maternal perception of the child.

Summary: Fathering and mothering have changed in many ways within the last decades. This study found that infants in the 21st century still prefer mothers over fathers in their expression of attachment behaviors, and mothers are more involved in child care compared to fathers. However, these differences did not result in differences in attachment security to mother and father.
