Abstract
Theoretical models implicate early adversity as a potent risk factor for alterations in emotion regulation and its neural correlates, creating a pathway toward depressive disorders. This study investigated this proposed pathway in adolescent girls, a demographic sample known to be at heightened risk for depression. Through the use of a novel cognitive reappraisal paradigm that incorporated social stimuli salient to this population, this multimethod study examined task effects associated with the paradigm as well as how behavioral and neural correlates were associated with early life adversity and depressive symptoms. Results revealed unique patterns of activation and connectivity specific to the type of cognitive reappraisal tactic employed, with reframing recruiting top-down emotion regulation and attentional control processes and immersing recruiting bottom-up sensory and social/salience processing. When examining individual differences, analyses revealed that adversity was associated with a behavioral index of disrupted reappraisal while depressive symptoms were associated with a neural index of disrupted reappraisal. However, formal investigations of whether the behavioral and neural indexes of reappraisal account for the relationship between early adversity and depressive symptoms were not conducted due to the lack of significant associations for all paths within each of these models. These findings enhance our understanding of the role of an adaptive regulation strategy in altering risk for psychopathology among adolescent girls.
