PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This K23 application describes a four-year mentored research and education plan that focuses on examining family processes in the development of children’s emotion regulation within the context of intergenerational interpersonal trauma exposure (victimization that occurs at the hands of another person). The candidate is a trained clinical psychologist with expertise in childhood trauma and PTSD seeking to address gaps in her training that will enable her to implement cutting edge dyadic research that will further the field’s understanding of mechanisms involved in the development of, and protection against, childhood PTSD. Although numerous links have been documented between parental and child posttraumatic stress reactions, the processes that explain these associations are not well understood. Because interpersonal trauma exposure places both children and adults at increased risk for problems with emotion dysregulation, parents’ emotion regulation, as well as their ability to help their children develop effective emotion regulation skills (emotion socialization parenting behaviors, ESPBs), may be two key mechanisms in this transmission. The proposed study aims to elucidate these intrafamilial processes associated with the development of children’s emotion regulation in order to better understand factors that might affect parents’ capacity to help their children overcome the effects of trauma exposure. The candidate will recruit 9-12 year old children who have experienced interpersonal trauma (n=80) and a parent who has also experienced interpersonal trauma. Families will participate in a multi- method assessment of parent and child behavioral and physiological indicators of emotion regulation and parent ESPBs during emotion-eliciting tasks. The study’s specific research aims are: (1) examine the potential mediating role of parents’ ESPBs in the relationship between parent emotion regulation and child emotion regulation; (2) examine within-person relationship and between-person effects among autonomic reactivity and emotion regulation; (3) test the buffering effect of supportive ESPBs; and (4) among a small sub-sample (n=20), examine the longitudinal stability of parents’ emotion regulation and ESPBs, and children’s emotion regulation. The principal training objective for this award is for the candidate to gain expertise in the dyadic biopsychosocial assessment of mechanisms involved in the intergenerational transmission of emotional regulation and dysregulation. Specifically, a rigorous career development plan, comprised of coursework, experiential learning, and mentoring, will address gaps in the candidate’s training in the areas of: (1) observational coding techniques used to evaluate dyadic emotional interactions, (2) physiological indicators of emotional reactivity, and (3) advanced statistical methods relevant to analyzing longitudinal, dyadic data. An experienced mentoring team will lend their expertise and, together with a nurturing institutional environment, will foster the candidate’s attainment of research independence. This mentored training award is integral to the candidate’s development as an investigator working to improve outcomes for traumatized children.

项目摘要/摘要 该K23应用程序描述了一项四年的研究和教育计划，重点是检查 在代际的背景下，在儿童情绪调节发展中的家庭过程 人际创伤暴露（在另一个人的手中发生的受害）。候选人是 受过训练的临床心理学家在儿童创伤方面具有专业知识，并试图解决她的差距 培训将使她能够实施最前沿的二元研究，从而进一步了解该领域的理解 涉及开发和保护儿童创伤后应激障碍的机制。虽然很多 链接已记录在父母和儿童创伤后压力反应之间的链接，该过程的过程 解释这些关联尚不清楚。因为人际创伤暴露在 儿童和成人有情绪失调，父母的情绪调节风险的风险增加，如 以及他们帮助孩子发展有效的情绪调节技能（情绪社交）的能力 育儿行为，ESPB），可能是该传输中的两个关键机制。拟议的研究旨在 阐明这些与儿童情绪调节的发展相关的家族内过程 为了更好地理解可能影响父母帮助孩子克服影响的因素 创伤暴露。候选人将招募经历过人际关系的9-12岁儿童 创伤（n = 80）和父母也经历了人际创伤。家庭将参加多个 方法评估情绪调节的父母行为和身体指标以及 父母ESPB在情绪激动的任务中。该研究的具体研究目的是：（1）检查潜力 调解父母ESPB在父母情绪调节与孩子情绪之间的关系中的作用 规定; （2）自主反应性和人际关系的审查和人之间影响 情绪调节； （3）测试支持性ESPB的缓冲效果； （4）在一个小样本中 （n = 20），检查父母情绪调节和ESPB的纵向稳定性以及孩子的情感 规定。该奖项的主要培训目标是候选人获得二元方面的专业知识 情绪际传播涉及的机制的生物心理社会评估 调节和失调。具体来说，一项严格的职业发展计划，完成了课程工作， 经验学习和心理，将解决候选人在以下方面的培训中的差距：（1） 用于评估二元情绪相互作用的观察编码技术，（2） 情绪反应性和（3）与分析纵向，二元数据有关的高级统计方法。 经验丰富的指导团队将借用他们的专业知识，并与培育机构环境一起 将培养候选人的研究独立性。该修改培训奖是不可或缺的 候选人作为调查员的发展，致力于改善受创伤儿童的成果。
