Displays of negative facial affect during parent-adolescent conflict and the bidirectional transmission of social anxiety / Mary L. WOODY in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 63-8 (August 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 63-8 (August 2022) . - p.846-854 Titre : Displays of negative facial affect during parent-adolescent conflict and the bidirectional transmission of social anxiety Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mary L. WOODY, Auteur ; Aleksandra KAURIN, Auteur ; Kirsten M. P. MCKONE, Auteur ; Cecile D. LADOUCEUR, Auteur ; Jennifer S. SILK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.846-854 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent  Anxiety  Facial Expression  Fear  Female  Humans  Parent-Child Relations  Parenting/psychology  Parents/psychology  Adolescence  facial expression  parent-child interaction  structural equation modeling Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Symptoms of social anxiety rise rapidly during adolescence, particularly for girls. Pervasive displays of parental negative affect may increase adolescents' fear of negative evaluation (FNE), thereby increasing risk for social anxiety symptoms. Adolescent displays of negative affect may also exacerbate parents' social anxiety symptoms (via FNE of their child or their parenting skills), yet little research has tested transactional pathways of transmission in families. By early adolescence, rates of parent-child conflict rise, and offspring become increasingly independent in their own displays of negative affect, increasing opportunities for hypothesized transactional pathways between parent-adolescent displays of negative affect and social anxiety symptoms. METHODS: This study included 129 parents and daughters (11-13; no baseline social anxiety disorder), two-thirds of whom were at high risk for social anxiety due to a shy/fearful temperament. We used actor-partner interdependence models (APIM) to test whether displays of negative facial affect, assessed individually for each parent and daughter during a conflict discussion, would predict their partner's social anxiety symptoms two years later. Automated facial affect coding assessed the frequency of negative affect during the discussion. Clinician ratings of social anxiety symptoms were completed at baseline and two-year follow-up. RESULTS: Both parents and daughters who displayed more frequent negative facial affect at baseline had partners with higher follow-up social anxiety symptoms, an effect that was maintained after accounting for actors' and partners' baseline symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Findings are consistent with intergenerational models positing that parental negative affective behaviors increase risk for adolescent social anxiety symptoms but also suggest that adolescent negative facial affect may exacerbate parental social anxiety symptoms. These bidirectional effects improve understanding of how social anxiety is maintained within a transactional family structure and highlight that displays of negative affect during parent-adolescent interaction may warrant future examination as a potential treatment target for adolescent social anxiety.

Synchrony of physiological activity during mother–child interaction: moderation by maternal history of major depressive disorder / Mary L. WOODY in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 57-7 (July 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 57-7 (July 2016) . - p.843-850 Titre : Synchrony of physiological activity during mother–child interaction: moderation by maternal history of major depressive disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mary L. WOODY, Auteur ; Cope FEURER, Auteur ; Effua E. SOSOO, Auteur ; Paul D. HASTINGS, Auteur ; Brandon E. GIBB, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.843-850 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Intergenerational transmission of depression  depression  mother–child interaction  respiratory sinus arrhythmia  synchrony Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Family environment plays an important role in the intergenerational transmission of major depressive disorder (MDD), but less is known about how day-to-day mother–child interactions may be disrupted in families with a history of MDD. Disruptions in mother–child synchrony, the dynamic and convergent exchange of physiological and behavioral cues during interactions, may be one important risk factor. Although maternal MDD is associated with a lack of mother–child synchrony at the behavioral level, no studies have examined the impact of maternal MDD on physiological synchrony. Therefore, this study examined whether maternal history of MDD moderates mother–child physiological synchrony [measured via respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA)] during positive and negative discussions. Method Children aged 7–11 years and mothers with either a history of MDD during the child's lifetime (n = 44) or no lifetime diagnosis of any mood disorder (n = 50) completed positive and negative discussion tasks while RSA was continuously recorded for both child and mother. Results Results indicated significant between-dyad and within-dyad group differences in physiological synchrony during positive and negative discussions. Between-dyad analyses revealed evidence of synchrony only among never depressed dyads, among whom higher average mother RSA during both discussions was associated with higher average child RSA. Within-dyad analyses revealed that never depressed dyads displayed positive synchrony (RSA concordance), whereas dyads with a history of maternal MDD displayed negative synchrony (RSA discordance) during the negative discussion and that the degree of negative synchrony exhibited during the negative discussion was associated with mothers' and children's levels of sadness. Conclusions These results provide preliminary evidence that physiological synchrony is disrupted in families with a history of maternal MDD and may be a potential risk factor for the intergenerational transmission of depression.
