Abstract: This study examines associations between emotion regulation, childhood adversity, and transdiagnostic symptoms in youth (attention, externalizing, internalizing problems; ABCD Study; N=9,057). Emotion dysregulation is associated with each symptom. Mediation analyses reveal reappraisal mitigates, while suppression exacerbates the impact of adversity on psychopathology. Findings underscore emotion regulation as an intervention target.
