Coping, Emotion Regulation, and Psychopathology in Childhood and Adolescence: a Meta-Analysis and Narrative Review Psychological Bulletin © 2017 American Psychological Association 2017, Vol. 143, No. 9, 939–991 0033-2909/17/$12.00 http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/bul0000110 Coping, Emotion Regulation, and Psychopathology in Childhood and Adolescence: A Meta-Analysis and Narrative Review Bruce E. Compas, Sarah S. Jaser, Alexandra H. Bettis, Kelly H. Watson, Meredith A. Gruhn, Jennifer P. Dunbar, Ellen Williams, and Jennifer C. Thigpen Vanderbilt University In this meta-analytic and narrative review, we examine several overarching issues related to the study of coping, emotion regulation, and internalizing and externalizing symptoms of psychopathology in child- hood and adolescence, including the conceptualization and measurement of these constructs. We report a quantitative meta-analysis of 212 studies (N ϭ 80,850 participants) that measured the associations between coping and emotion regulation with symptoms of internalizing and externalizing psychopathol- ogy. Within the meta-analysis we address the association of broad domains of coping and emotion regulation (e.g., total coping, emotion regulation), intermediate factors of coping and emotion regulation (e.g., primary control coping, secondary control coping), and specific coping and emotion regulation strategies (e.g., emotional expression, cognitive reappraisal) with internalizing and externalizing symp- toms. For cross-sectional studies, which made up the majority of studies included, we examine 3 potential moderators: age, measure quality, and single versus multiple informants. Finally, we separately consider findings from longitudinal studies as these provide stronger tests of the effects. After accounting for publication bias, findings indicate that the broad domain of emotion regulation and adaptive coping and the factors of primary control coping and secondary control coping are related to lower levels of symptoms of psychopathology. Further, the domain of maladaptive coping, the factor of disengagement coping, and the strategies of emotional suppression, avoidance, and denial are related to higher levels of symptoms of psychopathology. Finally, we offer a critique of the current state of the field and outline an agenda for future research.

  • Sorting out Graduate Degree and Licensure Options in Psychology and Mental Health
    SORTING OUT GRADUATE DEGREE AND LICENSURE OPTIONS IN PSYCHOLOGY AND MENTAL HEALTH Allison Foertsch and June Madsen Clausen, Ph.D. DEGREE OPTIONS: MSW/LCSW The Licensed Clinical Social Worker has a masters degree in social work (“MSW”), which is a two- year program offered by Schools of Social Work in public and private universities. The two-year program includes clinical training in psychotherapy for children, adults, families, and couples as well as training in “social systems” (e.g., public mental health, child welfare, disability work, etc.). After obtaining the graduate degree, the license candidate must complete additional supervised clinical hours (usually takes 12 to 18 months to complete), and then pass a licensing exam(s). LCSWs can practice independently and be paid by health insurance companies. Many LCSWs work in government, private, and non-profit agencies as salaried employees doing clinical work, crisis management, administration, or policy development. The LCSW is recognized in all states and throughout the world. MA/MFT A Master of Arts (MA) is a postgraduate academic degree typically based in fine art, humanities, social science, theology, or other liberal arts areas of study. It requires two years of study, sometimes including a thesis. Many counselors hold a master's degree, and occasionally Ph.D. psychologists earn a master's "en route" to earning their doctorate degree. Once a clinically oriented masters degree is obtained, individuals who obtain additional supervised clinical hours (usually takes 12 to 18 months and is often unpaid) are eligible to take the licensing exam(s) to obtain a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) license.

  • The Expanding Role of Quantitative Methodologists in Advancing Psychology
    Canadian Psychology © 2009 Canadian Psychological Association 2009, Vol. 50, No. 2, 83–90 0708-5591/09/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/a0015180 The Expanding Role of Quantitative Methodologists in Advancing Psychology Caroline Golinski and Robert A. Cribbie York University Research designs in psychology have become increasingly complex; thus, the methods for analysing the data have also become more complex. It is unrealistic for departments of psychology to expect research psychologists to stay informed about all the advances in statistical methods that apply to their field of research; therefore, departments must improve the profile of quantitative methods to ensure that adequate statistical resources are available to faculty. In this article, we discuss the challenges involved in improving the profile of quantitative methods given the drastic decreases in quantitative methods faculty, students, and graduate programs over the past couple decades, and discuss the importance of reversing this trend through improving awareness of the field of quantitative methods in psychology. Keywords: statistics, quantitative methods, psychology faculty Statistics. Who needs it anyway?
