Abstract
Despite the great number of children affected by anxiety and depression, developmental trajectories of internalizing disorders are not well understood. This study examines associations between negative emotionality, parenting, and the development of internalizing behaviors using data from the NICHD SECCYD (n = 1,063). A four group model best characterized trajectories of internalizing disorders. Interestingly, children with high negative emotionality and high maternal warmth were more likely to belong to groups with elevated levels of internalizing symptoms. Additionally, higher levels of maternal hostility increased the likelihood of belonging to the Moderate Increasing group over the Moderate Stable group at a trend level. Findings highlight the importance of studying interactions between temperament and parenting when examining trajectories of internalizing symptoms in childhood.
