Early identification of youth with persistently low positive affect could enable targeted interventions focused on enhancing positive emotional experiences-- before depressive symptoms fully emerge.

Jamie Hanson @jamielarsh.bsky.social · 15/01/2026Notably-- Persistently LOW positive affect specifically mediated the link between adversity → internalizing symptoms (depression/anxiety), but NOT externalizing problems. This suggests distinct mechanistic pathways rather than general psychopathology risk. 4/5 120
