Relationship Outcomes

While a plethora of research has found that parent financial socialization during childhood and adolescence is linked with financial outcomes in emerging adulthood, recent literature suggests that financial socialization may also impact romantic relationship outcomes in emerging adulthood. Utilizing a sample of 1,950 U.S. emerging adults, we test whether retrospectively recalled parent financial socialization is associated with romantic relationship flourishing and whether this association is mediated by financial behaviors and financial distress. We found that financial socialization was positively associated with financial behaviors and relationship flourishing and was negatively associated with financial distress. Further, financial behaviors partially mediated the association between financial socialization and relationship flourishing, while financial distress did not mediate the association. Together with previous literature, these findings provide useful information for therapists and educators in their pursuit to promote robust parent financial socialization in childhood and adolescence and both financial and relational well-being in emerging adulthood.

The Impact

BACKGROUND Adolescence and young adulthood is a period of heightened risk of mental disorders onset. The Covid-19 pandemic may have impacted the daily lives and learning of students, exposing them to risks of emotional distress. Understanding factors associated with individual differences in distress can inform remedial strategies for schools. OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of Covid-19 on undergraduate students’ lifestyle and learning, and explore relationship between depressive symptoms, resilience, and optimism/pessimism bias in undergraduate students in Hong Kong. METHODS Cross-sectional online survey of undergraduate students in a university (n=1020) before and during the third wave of Covid-19 outbreak in Hong Kong between May and August 2020. Changes in habits and family conflicts, depressive symptoms (measured using Patient Health Questionnaire-9), resilience (measured using Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale), optimism/pessimism towards Covid-19 risks, and knowledge about Covid-19 were recorded. Multivariable linear regression and mediation analyses were used to explore relationships with depressive symptoms. RESULTS 61.7% of respondents have mild to severe depressive symptoms. The regression model found that 18.5% of the variance in depressive symptoms was explained by resilience, pessimism bias, changes in sleep, decrease in study at home, and increase in family conflict. Mediation analysis showed that resilience is indirectly related to depressive symptoms through its relationship with pessimism (ab = -0.042, CI = -0.057 to -0.013). Higher resilience was associated with lower depressive symptoms even after accounting for resilience’s indirect effect through pessimism (c’ = 0.311, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS The findings highlight the mental health vulnerability of undergraduate students. Measures to reduce family conflict, maintain healthy daily habits, adjust optimism/pessimism bias, and enhance resilience may be useful for improving the mental wellbeing of undergraduate students during the pandemic.

Interpersonal Orientation

In this study we examined whether or not early maladaptive schemas regarding disconnection and rejection influenced peer connectedness of university students in emerging adulthood. We also investigated the mediating role of interpersonal orientation on these relationships. The participants were 304 students at universities in Korea, aged between 18 and 25 years. Results of structural equation modeling demonstrated that the defectiveness/shame schema had an indirect, negative effect on peer connectedness via interpersonal orientation, and the abandonment/instability schema had an indirect, positive influence on peer connectedness. The social isolation/alienation schema negatively and directly affected peer connectedness. Our findings suggest that when a sense of disconnection and rejection develops during childhood and adolescence, individuals show a relatively stable tendency to either avoid or overvalue interpersonal relationships. This may lead to difficulties in establishing peer relationships in emerging adulthood.

Adult Roles

Emerging adulthood (EA) is marked by a prolonged developmental transition to adulthood, dynamic personal and environmental circumstances, and unique patterns of vulnerability to psychological dysfunction. Neurodevelopment in childhood and adolescence has been studied extensively, but EA has not yet received its due attention from developmental cognitive neuroscience. The existing evidence shows that neurodevelopment continues throughout EA in support of emerging adult roles. The data suggest a frontolimbic fine-tuning model of brain development in EA that holds that adult functions are promoted through the strengthening of prefrontal regulation of limbic function and a newly emerging balance between prefrontal subregions involved in modulating approach and avoidance. Considering the overlap between these neurodevelopmental processes and the peak incidence of numerous psychological disorders in EA, it seems that individual differences in the dynamics of emerging adulthood neurodevelopment may not only underlie differences in functioning, but also risk for psychological disorder.

Adolescent Depressive Symptoms

During adolescence, young people develop crucial capacity for emotion regulation, and family context can be a risk or protective factor for adolescents developing affective disorders. We leveraged data from the Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey ( N = 7664) to propose adolescent emotion regulation as a mediator between family conflict, family protection, and adolescent depressive symptoms in the social development model. Latent moderated structural equation modeling revealed that adolescent regulation of negative emotions mediated the relationship between family conflict and depressive symptoms—adolescents with higher family conflict had more emotion regulation difficulties and more depressive symptoms. Adolescent age was a moderator such that associations between family protective factors and reduced depression, and between family conflict and emotion regulation difficulties were weaker in high school compared to middle school. Findings highlight the importance of youth emotion regulation processes and family emotional context in reducing adolescent depressive symptoms.

Insomnia Symptoms

Abstract Introduction An individual’s culture presents unique risk and protective factors related to sleep outcomes. Similarly, emerging adulthood also represents a unique developmental period as it relates to sleep. The study of cultural factors during emerging adulthood is critical for better understanding the development of sleep dysfunction in vulnerable segments of the population. The present study investigated the association between perceived discrimination and insomnia symptoms in Latinx emerging adults. We hypothesized that perceived discrimination would result in higher insomnia symptom presentation above and beyond anxiety and depressive symptoms. Methods Participants included 198 (73.7% female; mean age=18.96) college-aged individuals self-identifying as Hispanic/Latinx who completed an online survey that assessed perceived racial/ethnic discrimination (Everyday Discrimination Scale; EDS), anxiety symptoms (General Anxiety Disorder Scale; GAD-7), depression symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire; PHQ-9), and insomnia symptoms (Insomnia Severity Index; ISI). A three-block hierarchical regression was used to assess the impact of perceived discrimination on the presentation of insomnia symptomology above and beyond demographic characteristics and anxiety and depressive symptoms. Results The final model significantly predicted insomnia symptom presentation, F(5, 191)=26.379, p&lt;.001, R2=.408. When age and gender identity were entered into the model they did not significantly predict insomnia symptoms F(2, 194)=.199, p=.82, R2=.002. Blocks 2, anxiety and depression symptoms (∆R2=.388), and 3, perceived discrimination (∆R2=.018), accounted for significant change in variance. In the final model, perceived discrimination significantly predicted insomnia symptoms (β=.151) above and beyond age (β=.016), gender identity (β= -.085), anxiety (β= -.075), and depression (β=.621). Conclusion Results suggest that discrimination among Hispanic/Latinx emerging adults is a unique contributor that may explain some of the higher prevalence rates of insomnia symptomology in this segment of the population. As such, it would be beneficial to tailor existing approaches aimed at improving sleep outcomes by accounting for stressors that could result from or influence discrimination against the individual and incorporate other cultural factors into treatment protocols.
