Overview

Follow-up study reveals increased anxiety and self-regulation deficits in adolescents with internalizing symptoms, suggesting prevention targets.

Key Points

  • Adolescents in the increasing trajectory reported more internalizing symptoms and greater distress than those in the stable low trajectory.
  • Results showed that those with increasing symptoms had lower planning behavior and less effective emotion regulation strategies than others.
  • At follow-up, differences in self-regulation between decreasing and stable low trajectories were no longer detectable.
  • Promoting self-regulation could help mitigate the long-term effects of childhood internalizing symptoms on adolescent development.
