Results: Mental health difficulties (total symptoms) at age 11 predicted both mental health difficulties at age 17 (b = .41, p < .001) and negative social safety schemas at age 14 (b = .02, p < .001)....Negative social safety schemas in mid-adolescence partially mediated the persistence of difficulties from early to late adolescence (ab = .01, p < .001)....In sex-stratified analyses, we found that negative social safety mediated the persistence of internalizing problems only for females and the persistence of externalizing problems only for males....Conclusions and relevance: These findings highlight the important role of social safety schemas in the persistence of adolescent emotional and behavioural problems over time....Based on these results, investments in improving early adolescent mental health by bolstering social safety perceptions may be effective for reducing mental health risks.

Objective: To understand how maternal warmth at 3 years of age shapes adolescent social safety schemas at 14 years of age and physical and mental health at 17 years of age....In models controlling for sex, ethnicity, income, neighborhood disadvantage, maternal mental health, and early cognitive ability, the paths from childhood maternal warmth (but not harshness) to social safety schemas at 14 years of age (b = 0.03; P < .001) and physical health at 17 years of age (b = 0.05...; P = .02) were significant, suggesting that early maternal warmth enhances subsequent perceived social safety and physical health....Additionally, the paths from negative social safety schemas at 14 years of age to poorer physical health (b = 0.50; P < .001), psychological distress (b = 5.37; P < .001), and psychiatric problems (b = 0.21; P < .001) at 17 years of age were significant, suggesting that greater perceived social safety...Improving parent-child relationships and enhancing youths' perceptions of social safety may thus improve adolescent health.

Using a social safety framework, we examine interactions between discrimination and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on health outcomes and how these interactions may differ by race and ethnicity or SGD status among young adults....Consistent with social safety theory, findings highlight the potential health consequences of experiencing both discrimination and childhood adverse experiences.
