Thomas, Colich, McLaughlin, & Sumner. (2023). Dimensions of Early Adversity and Sexual Behavior in a US Population-Based Adolescent Sample. Journal of Adolescent Health, 72, 560-567.
Thomas, Colich, McLaughlin, & Sumner. (2023). Dimensions of Early Adversity and Sexual Behavior in a US Population-Based Adolescent Sample. Journal of Adolescent Health, 72, 560-567.
Purpose
Early life adversity (ELA) is associated with sexual risk, but ELA dimensions—and potential mechanisms—have been less examined. We evaluated associations between threat and deprivation—two key ELA dimensions—and sexual behaviors in adolescents...

Peverill, Rosen, Lurie, Sambrook, Sheridan, & McLaughlin. (2023). Childhood trauma and brain structure in children and adolescents. Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 59, 1-9.
The dimensional model of adversity proposes that experiences of threat and deprivation have distinct neurodevelopmental consequences. We examined these dimensions, separately and jointly, with brain structure in a sample of 149 youth aged 8–17—half...
Wade, McLaughlin, Buzzell, Fox, Zeanah, & Nelson. (2023). Family-based care buffers the stress sensitizing effect of early deprivation on executive functioning difficulties in adolescence. 93(1), 43-56.
Wade, McLaughlin, Buzzell, Fox, Zeanah, & Nelson. (2023). Family-based care buffers the stress sensitizing effect of early deprivation on executive functioning difficulties in adolescence. 93(1), 43-56.
We examined whether family care following early-life deprivation buffered the association between stressful life events (SLEs) and executive functioning (EF) in adolescence. In early childhood, 136 institutionally reared children were randomly assigned...
Colich, Hanford, Weissman, Allen, Shirtcliff, Lengua, Sheridan, & McLaughlin. (2023). Childhood trauma, earlier pubertal timing, and psychopathology in adolescence: The role of corticolimbic development. Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 59, 1-9.
Colich, Hanford, Weissman, Allen, Shirtcliff, Lengua, Sheridan, & McLaughlin. (2023). Childhood trauma, earlier pubertal timing, and psychopathology in adolescence: The role of corticolimbic development. Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 59, 1-9.
Earlier pubertal development appears to be one pathway through which childhood trauma contributes to psychopathology in adolescence. Puberty-related changes in neural networks involved in emotion processing, namely the amygdala-medial prefrontal (mPFC)...

Experiencing adversity in childhood and adolescence, including stressful life events (SLEs), may accelerate the pace of development, leading to adverse mental and physical health. However, most research on adverse early experiences and biological aging...
Rakesh, D., Sheridan, M. A., Whittle, S., & McLaughlin. (2023). Childhood socioeconomic status and the pace of brain development: Accelerated, delayed, or simply different? Trends in Cognitive Sciences.
Rakesh, D., Sheridan, M. A., Whittle, S., & McLaughlin. (2023). Childhood socioeconomic status and the pace of brain development: Accelerated, delayed, or simply different? Trends in Cognitive Sciences.
Socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with children’s brain and behavioral development. Several theories propose that early experiences of adversity or low SES can alter the pace of neurodevelopment during childhood and adolescence. These theories...

Lurie, L., Hangem, E., Rosen, M., Crosnoe, R., & McLaughlin. (2023). Reduced growth mindset as a mechanism linking childhood trauma with academic performance and internalizing psychopathology. Child Abuse & Neglect.
Background
Despite the high prevalence of childhood adversity and well-documented associations with poor academic achievement and psychopathology, effective, scalable interventions remain largely unavailable. Existing interventions targeting growth...

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges for youths and families, dramatically increasing exposure to stressors and stress-related psychopathology. Increasing work has leveraged pre-pandemic neuroimaging data to predict adolescent...
