🚨NEW PAPER🚨
My latest paper investigates the relationship between circadian rhythm, puberty and age as risk for depression in youth. Worked with the amazing Kathleen McCormick, @juliannegrif.bsky.social & @benhankin.bsky.social

A screenshot of an abstract for a scientific article. The text reads: "Temporal Tendencies: Exploring the Impact of Chronotype Timing on Youth Depression Risk ABSTRACT Purpose: Developmental changes in youth sleep preferences (chronotype) and pubertal development are consequential for youth risk for depression. Previous research has identified individual differences in chronotype in risk for psychopathology. However, little is known regarding how the timing of chronotype may confer risk in youth. This study addressed this gap by examining associations between chronotypal timing and symptoms of depression in youth. Methods: Community youth (N=155; M_age=12.7) completed self-report measures of chronotype, pubertal status and depression every six months for a period of one year (three assessment points). Results: Regression analyses showed that chronotypal timing predicted change in depressive symptoms across six months (b=-0.66, p=0.019), but not across any other timeframe. Findings suggested that youth experiencing more of a morning preference compared to same-aged peers were at increased risk for later depression across six months. Chronotypal timing continued to predict changes in symptoms of depression controlling for gender (b=-0.63, p=0.023) and pubertal timing (b=-0.72, p=0.012).
