Discrimination has been associated with adverse mental health outcomes, though it is unclear how early in life this association becomes apparent. Implicit emotion regulation, developing during childhood, is a foundational skill tied to a range of outcomes. Implicit emotion regulation has yet to be tested as an associated process for mental illness symptoms that can often emerge during this sensitive developmental period. Youth aged 9–11 were recruited for the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study. Associations between psychotic-like experiences, depressive symptoms, and total discrimination (due to race, ethnicity, nationality, weight, or sexual minority status) were tested, as well as associations with implicit emotion regulation measures (emotional updating working memory and inhibitory control). Analyses examined whether associations with symptoms were mediated by implicit emotion regulation. Discrimination related to decreased implicit emotion regulation performance, and increased endorsement of depressive symptoms and psychotic-like experiences. Emotional updating working memory performance partially mediated the association between discrimination and psychotic-like experiences, while emotional inhibitory control did not. Discrimination and implicit emotion regulation could serve as putative transdiagnostic markers of vulnerability. Results support the utility of using multiple units of analysis to improve understanding of complex emerging neurocognitive functions and developmentally sensitive periods.

测试内隐情绪调节是否介导儿童晚期歧视与精神病理学症状之间的关联：RDoC 观点

歧视与不良的心理健康结果有关，但尚不清楚这种关联在生命的早期有多明显。内隐情绪调节在童年时期发展，是一项与一系列结果相关的基本技能。内隐情绪调节作为精神疾病症状的相关过程尚未经过测试，精神疾病症状通常会在这个敏感的发育时期出现。招募 9-11 岁的青少年参加青少年大脑认知发展 (ABCD) 研究。测试了类似精神病的经历、抑郁症状和完全歧视（由于种族、民族、国籍、体重或性少数地位）之间的关联，以及与内隐情绪调节措施（情绪更新工作记忆和抑制控制）的关联. 分析检查了与症状的关联是否由隐性情绪调节介导。歧视与内隐情绪调节表现下降有关，对抑郁症状和精神病样经历的认可增加。情绪更新工作记忆表现部分地调节了歧视和精神病样经历之间的关联，而情绪抑制控制则没有。歧视和内隐情绪调节可以作为脆弱性的假定跨诊断标记。结果支持使用多个分析单元来提高对复杂的新兴神经认知功能和发育敏感期的理解的效用。歧视与内隐情绪调节表现下降有关，对抑郁症状和精神病样经历的认可增加。情绪更新工作记忆表现部分地调节了歧视和精神病样经历之间的关联，而情绪抑制控制则没有。歧视和内隐情绪调节可以作为脆弱性的假定跨诊断标记。结果支持使用多个分析单元来提高对复杂的新兴神经认知功能和发育敏感期的理解的效用。歧视与内隐情绪调节表现下降有关，对抑郁症状和精神病样经历的认可增加。情绪更新工作记忆表现部分地调节了歧视和精神病样经历之间的关联，而情绪抑制控制则没有。歧视和内隐情绪调节可以作为脆弱性的假定跨诊断标记。结果支持使用多个分析单元来提高对复杂的新兴神经认知功能和发育敏感期的理解的效用。而情绪抑制控制则没有。歧视和内隐情绪调节可以作为脆弱性的假定跨诊断标记。结果支持使用多个分析单元来提高对复杂的新兴神经认知功能和发育敏感期的理解的效用。而情绪抑制控制则没有。歧视和内隐情绪调节可以作为脆弱性的假定跨诊断标记。结果支持使用多个分析单元来提高对复杂的新兴神经认知功能和发育敏感期的理解的效用。
