Can Caregivers Accurately Report on their Child\u27s Rumination?
No full textRumination, which involves passively dwelling on negative thoughts and emotions, is associated with increased rates of anxiety and depression, serving as a transdiagnostic risk factor for the development of psychopathology. Due to its internalized process, rumination is typically measured with self-report; however, children are not always able to self-report. Because of this, we developed and evaluated a caregiver report of child rumination. Participants in Study 1 included 54 pairs of caregivers (83.3% mothers) and children (68.5% girls) ages 9-11 (M age =10.07, SD = .80; 83.3% White). Children completed self-report measures of rumination and depressive symptoms. Caregivers completed demographic questions, a report of child mental health symptoms and rumination, using the measure we developed. Results indicated a moderate correlation between children’s report of rumination and their caregiver\u27s report. This study revealed that caregivers can accurately report on their child’s rumination. Next, we wanted to test whether the measure could predict symptom changes over time. In Study 2, children and caregivers completed measures of child rumination and child symptoms (depression and anxiety) at baseline and again, 3 weeks later. Children completed self-report measures of rumination, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms. Caregivers completed demographic questions, the caregiver report of child rumination, a report of child depressive symptoms, a report of child anxiety symptoms, a report of child emotion regulation, caregivers’ rumination, and caregiver depression. This study is in progress. A primary limitation of these studies is the lack of diversity in both samples which may limit generalizability. However, this measure will allow clinicians to identify children at risk to mitigate future psychopathology and give children access to crucial resources
First Lecture of the 2024 First-Year Studies Lecture Series
No full textFirst-Year Studies, a staple of the academic experience at Lawrence University since 1945, continues to evolve. Beginning in Fall 2024, the course required for all first-year students will undergo a significant realignment, all aimed at making the program more focused while keeping its intent of a collective introduction to the liberal arts.
The changes stem from recommendations made by a faculty task force that began its work in spring of 2022. It was approved in a faculty vote in May 2023. The revamped course, now lasting one term instead of two, will have a theme that stitches together the seven works to be studied. “Water” will be the theme for the next four years, then give way to a new theme. The writing curriculum has been reshaped with a sequence aimed at better preparing students for effective analytical writing.
Works covered in this lecture: Homeless Blues by Bessie Smith (Delta Blues Tradition) and Death and Life of the Great Lakes by Dan Ega
