Sentence examples for proximal life from inspiring English sources

There were also gender differences with regard to the impact of proximal life events.

In girls but not boys, proximal life events were found to at least partially moderate the direct effect of childhood adversity on late adolescent depressive symptoms.

Similar to early adversity, we find that the distal risk factor of negative emotionality is contributing to maintenance of more proximal negative life events leading to increased depressive symptoms in adolescent girls, namely, proximal life events.

In addition, we evaluated whether childhood adversity may set off a chaining of events with other risk factors for depression, particularly with negative emotionality and adolescent-reported proximal life events.

In girls only, however, there were two further components: first, the relationship between negative emotional temperament and age 14 depressive symptoms was significantly stronger; and second; there are indirect paths between this emotion disposition and proximal life event reporting at 17 years.

This pattern was also found in adolescent girls although with additional direct and indirect paths through proximal negative life events.

These include distal factors (childhood adversity/maltreatment or temperament/personality), cognitive biases (negative inferential style or negativity biases), and proximal upsetting life events (Hankin & Abramson, 2001).

Emotional temperament was also associated with depressive symptoms in both genders, while proximal negative life events related to depressive symptoms in girls only.

Notably, for most events unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios were higher for reported exposure in the past year compared with ever, suggesting in general a greater impact the more proximal the life events.

The findings also show that the risk effects of genetically sensitive elevations in cortisol are not confounds of the depressive symptoms at entry or proximal undesirable life events during follow-up.

We were then able to establish putative causal pathways between distal exposure to family-based childhood adversities, negative emotionality and proximal negative life events, and self-reported depressive symptoms recorded at 14 and 17 years of age, which is within the highest period of risk for increasing levels of depressive symptoms.
