Internalizing Disorder Research at the University of Rochester<\/h3>\n
\n\t

Depression and anxiety disorders (described collectively as internalizing disorders) are widespread conditions that contribute titanically to global suffering and burden. Despite their prevalence, much is unknown about their etiology, although it is clear that a wide variety of factors\u2014psychological, biological, and environmental\u2014play important roles.<\/p>\n

One thing we do know is that internalizing disorders operate as a function in the complex social environments in which they emerge. Life stress is both a cause and outcome of psychopathology, and many risk factors become more etiologically relevant after stressful experiences have occurred. Consequently, it is difficult to understand depression without also assessing contextual factors (and measuring them with precision).<\/p>\n

The Internalizing Disorder & Emotional Adjustment (IDEA) Lab conducts research that we hope will help elucidate how diverse systems interactively contribute to risk for internalizing disorders, and how internalizing disorders in turn impact psychological functioning and the social environment. We are interested in emotional health across the lifespan, but a prominent component of our research specifically focuses on adolescence, a period when depression risk increases precipitously (corresponding with rapid changes in both biology and the interpersonal environment).<\/p>\n
