Exited to show what we’ve been working on very soon 🤓

Only at Oxford do you arrive at dinner thinking about developmental psychology and neuroscience and leave reflecting on how exorcism intersects with psychology, history, and law 🧑🏻‍⚖️💭📜👩🏽‍⚕️🧞

One of the things I love most about my research stay at @ox.ac.uk. is the way this place expands your intellectual world by revealing connections in topics and ideas you assumed were far outside your field 🤔🌀

We investigated the longitudinal interactions of symptoms of emotional problem across childhood and adolescence.

2/4
Here, we investigate emotional symptom dynamics in males and females, by leveraging longitudinal data from the ALSPAC Study. We estimated a panelGVAR network model and statistically compared the networks of males and females.

3/4
Our findings show largely reciprocal associations among emotional symptoms, with the strongest edges between fearful–nervous and unhappy–worries in the temporal network. We found no differences in the structure of male and female networks.

4/4
In conclusion, these findings highlight the bidirectional influences between core symptoms of depression and anxiety, but did not find support for sex differences in their developmental interrelatedness.
