Weitlauf, Amy S.; Cole, David A. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2012
Attributional style models of depression in adults (Abramson et al. 1989, 1978) have been adapted for use with children; however, most applications do not consider that children's understanding of causal relations may be qualitatively different from that of adults. If children's causal attributions depend on children's level of cognitive…

Compas, Bruce E.; Forehand, Rex; Thigpen, Jennifer C.; Keller, Gary; Hardcastle, Emily J.; Cole, David A.; Potts, Jennifer; H. Watson, Kelly; Rakow, Aaron; Colletti, Christina; Reeslund, Kristen; Fear, Jessica; Garai, Emily; McKee, Laura; Merchant, M. J.; Roberts, Lorinda – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 2011
Objective: In a long-term follow-up of a randomized controlled trial (Compas et al., 2009) to examine the effects at 18- and 24-month follow-ups of a family group cognitive-behavioral (FGCB) preventive intervention for mental health outcomes for children and parents from families (N = 111) of parents with a history of major depressive disorder…

Cole, David A.; Jacquez, Farrah M.; LaGrange, Beth; Pineda, Ashley Q.; Truss, Alanna E.; Weitlauf, Amy S.; Tilghman-Osborne, Carlos; Felton, Julia; Garber, Judy; Dallaire, Danielle H.; Ciesla, Jeff A.; Maxwell, Melissa A.; Dufton, Lynette – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2011
Youths with high (N = 52) or low cognitive vulnerability (N = 48) for depression were selected from a larger sample (N = 515) of students (7-10 years old), based on their attributional style (AS), negative cognitions (NC), and/or self-competence (SC). Long-term effects of cognitive vulnerabilities on depressive symptoms were examined in a 3-year,…

Tilghman-Osborne, Carlos; Cole, David A.; Felton, Julia W. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2012
Inappropriate or excessive guilt is listed as a symptom of depression by the American Psychiatric Association ("1994"). Although many measures of guilt have been developed, definitional and operational problems exist, especially in the application of such measures in childhood and adolescence. To address these problems, the current study…

M.; Hardcastle, Emily; Merchant, Mary Jane; Roberts, Lori; Potts, Jennifer; Garai, Emily; Coffelt, Nicole; Roland, Erin; Sterba, Sonya K.; Cole, David A. – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 2009
A family cognitive-behavioral preventive intervention for parents with a history of depression and their 9-15-year-old children was compared with a self-study written information condition in a randomized clinical trial (n = 111 families). Outcomes were assessed at post-intervention (2 months), after completion of 4 monthly booster sessions (6…

Geiser, Christian; Eid, Michael; Nussbeck, Fridtjof W.; Courvoisier, Delphine S.; Cole, David A. – Developmental Psychology, 2010
The authors show how structural equation modeling can be applied to analyze change in longitudinal multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) studies. For this purpose, an extension of latent difference models (McArdle, 1988; Steyer, Eid, & Schwenkmezger, 1997) to multiple constructs and multiple methods is presented. The model allows investigators to separate…

Cole, David A.; Maxwell, Melissa A.; Dukewich, Tammy L.; Yosick, Rachel – Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, 2010
The goal was to examine the relation of covert/relational and overt/physical targeted peer victimization (TPV) to each other, to positive and negative self-cognitions, and to symptoms of depression. In a sample of elementary and middle school children, TPV was assessed by self-report, peer-nomination, and parent report in a multitrait-multimethod…

Folmer, Amy S.; Cole, David A.; Sigal, Amanda B.; Benbow, Lovisa D.; Satterwhite, Lindsay F.; Swygert, Katherine E.; Ciesla, Jeffrey A. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2008
Building on Nicholls's earlier work, we examined developmental changes in children's understanding of effort and ability when faced with a negative outcome. In a sample of 166 children and adolescents (ages 5-15 years), younger children conflated the meaning of effort and ability, explaining that smart students work hard, whereas older children…

Community, demographic, familial, and personal risk factors of childhood depressive symptoms were examined from an ecological theoretical approach using hierarchical linear modeling. Individual-level data were collected from an ethnically diverse (73% African-American) community sample of 197 children and their parents; community-level data were…

Bruce, Alanna E.; Cole, David A.; Dallaire, Danielle H.; Jacquez, Farrah M.; Pineda, Ashley Q.; LaGrange, Beth – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2006
In a sample of 299 children (grades 2, 4, and 6), we examined parenting and negative life events as predictors of depressive cognitions, specifically low self-perceived competence, depressive cognitive schemas, and depressogenic attributional style. We also examined developmental trends in these relations. Children completed measures of parenting,…

Cole, David A.; Martin, Nina C. – Psychological Assessment, 2005
In a 6-wave longitudinal study, children (Grades 4-6, n=648), adolescents (Grades 7-9, n=1,489), and their parents completed child-adolescent or parent versions of the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI; M. Kovacs, 1981). Using structural equation modeling, the authors conducted latent trait-state analyses to distinguish between a stable trait…

Courvoisier, Delphine S.; Nussbeck, Fridtjof W.; Eid, Michael; Geiser, Christian; Cole, David A. – Psychological Assessment, 2008
The analysis of convergent and discriminant validity is an integral part of the construct validation process. Models for analyzing the convergent and discriminant validity have typically been developed for cross-sectional data. There exist, however, only a few approaches for longitudinal data that can be applied for analyzing the construct…

Deboeck, Pascal R.; Cole, David A.; Preacher, Kristopher J.; Forehand, Rex; Compas, Bruce E. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2021
Many interventions are characterized by repeated observations on the same individuals (e.g., baseline, mid-intervention, two to three post-intervention observations), which offer the opportunity to consider differences in how individuals vary over time. Effective interventions may not be limited to changing means, but instead may also include…

Cole, David A.; Martin, Joan M.; Peeke, Lachlan A.; Seroczynski, A. D.; Fier, Jonathan – Child Development, 1999
Examined third and sixth graders' depression, anxiety, and perceived academic competence every six months for three years. Found that compared to teachers' ratings, boys overestimated and girls underestimated competence. Gender differences emerged in fourth/fifth grade, increasing through eighth grade. Controlling for depression and anxiety…

Cole, David A.; Carpentieri, Sarah – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1990
Examined overlap between child depression and conduct disorder (D&CD) as function of peer social status in 1,464 nonreferred fourth graders. Found strong correlation between D&CD. Analyses revealed that associations between depression and rejected social status might be resulting from a subgroup of depressed children who also manifested symptoms…
