dc.description.abstractBackground: Children experiencing anxious and/or sad feelings that persist over time and interfere with daily function are at risk for developing internalizing disorders. Even at the subclinical level, internalizing symptoms interfere with healthy development and might cause functional impairment. Emotion regulation is suggested as a transdiagnostic factor across anxious and depressive symptoms and a potential target for preventive interventions. This thesis aims to examine emotion regulation in association with children’s anxious and depressive symptoms and the long-term effects of the transdiagnostic preventive intervention EMOTION on anxious and depressive symptoms. Method: The data applied in this thesis stem from the Coping Kids study in Norway, with which the newly developed transdiagnostic preventive intervention EMOTION is examined in a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT). The sample included N = 795 children aged between 8 and 12 years old (M = 10 years, SD = 0.90, 58.1% girls). Results: The results from the first study are twofold. A negative association between anxious and depressive symptoms and emotion regulation was confirmed. Second, the results indicated a differentiating effect of parental gender on the association between emotion regulation and depressive symptoms. The results from the second study showed a significant improvement in emotion regulation in children receiving the EMOTION intervention. The results from the third study showed a significant reduction in internalizing symptoms in the intervention group 12 months postintervention. Conclusion: The results strengthen the argument for the importance of emotion regulation as a transdiagnostic factor in internalizing symptoms and indicate that the EMOTION intervention is effective both in improving children’s emotion regulation and in long-term symptom reduction. Furthermore, the results from the first study contribute to the field by suggesting the importance of including both maternal and paternal reports in research.en_US
