PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) commonly experienced by custodial grandchildren, such as childhood abuse and neglect, have been associated with poorer developmental outcomes, which may be a result of disruptions in daily socio-emotional well-being, stressor exposure, and emotional reactivity. Links between ACEs and stressor-emotion mechanisms are particularly relevant for custodial adolescent grandchildren, given that there over two million households where grandmothers, without the present of parents, are caring for them. As such, it is necessary to advance knowledge on the extent to which their daily life experiences are negatively impacted, whether there are identifiable resilience factors that promote positive outcomes, and develop low-cost, accessible programs that meet their socio-emotional needs. Daily diary studies, which are based on collecting repeated measures from individuals across several days, have shown that stressor exposure and emotional reactivity are associated with poorer well-being among adolescents. However, these daily processes have not been examined specifically in custodial adolescent grandchildren, and the impact of ACEs on these processes in adolescence is largely unknown. The role of socio-emotional skills as a resilience factor in the context of daily stress and emotions has not been previously examined either. Moreover, despite custodial adolescent grandchildren being severely at risk, there are few programs that have been shown to improve their socio-emotional well-being. Given these limitations, the proposed study aims to provide new insights into how day-to-day fluctuations in stressors are associated with changes in emotional well-being, whether individual differences in ACEs or socio-emotional skills predict daily fluctuations in stressor-emotion dynamics, and test an online program via a randomized trial with custodial adolescents. Aim 1 will determine whether daily stressors are related to well-being outcomes: (A) on average and (B) in day-to-day analyses indicative of within-person processes. Aim 2 will examine whether ACEs and socio-emotional skills predict overall levels of daily well-being and exposure to daily stressors, and test whether each factor moderates daily (i.e., within-person) associations between stressors and well-being outcomes. Aim 3 will test whether an online social intelligence training intervention can improve adolescents' socio-emotional skills, daily well-being, stressor exposure, and emotional reactivity, and if improvements differ across levels of ACEs. All analyses will be conducted with dynamic structural equation modeling, a statistical tool at the frontiers of modeling intensive longitudinal data. The findings of the proposed study have implications for understanding links between childhood adversity, socio-emotional skills, and several aspects of daily life such as well-being, stressor exposure, and emotional reactivity in adolescence. Furthermore, results may inform future prevention efforts and provide evidence for a low-cost, accessible, and scalable online program that improves the socio- emotional well-being of custodial adolescent grandchildren.

项目总结/摘要 不良童年经历（ACE）通常由托管孙辈经历，如童年 虐待和忽视与较差的发展结果有关，这可能是由于 日常社会情绪健康、压力源暴露和情绪反应的中断。之间的联系 ACE和压力-情绪机制与有监护权的青少年孙辈特别相关， 有超过两百万个家庭的祖母，没有父母的存在， 他们因此，有必要提高对他们日常生活经历的了解， 是否存在促进积极成果的可识别复原力因素，以及 开发低成本、可获得的方案，满足他们的社会情感需求。每日日记研究， 根据收集的重复措施，从个人在几天内，已经表明，压力 暴露和情绪反应与青少年的健康状况较差有关。但这些 日常过程没有被专门研究在监护青少年孙辈，和影响 ACE对青春期这些过程的影响在很大程度上是未知的。社会情感技能作为一种复原力的作用 在日常压力和情绪的背景下，这一因素以前也没有被研究过。此外，尽管 监护青少年孙辈处于严重危险之中，很少有项目被证明可以 改善他们的社会情感健康。鉴于这些限制，拟议的研究旨在提供新的 深入了解压力源的日常波动如何与情绪健康的变化相关联， ACE或社会情绪技能的个体差异是否可以预测压力源情绪的日常波动 动力学，并通过一项与被监管青少年的随机试验测试一个在线程序。目标1将决定 日常压力源是否与幸福结果相关：（A）平均值和（B）日常分析 这表明了人与人之间的过程。目标2将检查ACE和社会情感技能是否预测 日常幸福感和日常压力源暴露的总体水平，并测试每个因素是否每天都会调节 (i.e.,人与人之间的关联压力和幸福的结果。Aim 3将测试在线 社会智力训练干预可以改善青少年的社会情感技能，日常幸福感， 应激源暴露和情绪反应，以及ACE水平的改善是否不同。所有分析将 进行动态结构方程建模，在建模密集的前沿统计工具 纵向数据拟议研究的结果对理解 童年逆境，社会情感技能，以及日常生活的几个方面，如幸福，压力源 暴露和青春期的情绪反应。此外，研究结果可为今后的预防工作提供信息 并为低成本，可访问和可扩展的在线计划提供证据，以改善社会- 青少年孙辈的情感健康。
