Do you have thoughts on expressed emotion, and how we use it in research? Let us know in the comments!

And crucially, how can this information help us better support young people and their families through mental health challenges in adolescence? This research using data from the @eriskstudy.bsky.social study shows us why studying expressed emotion matters.

CAMHS Digital Lab @camhsdlab.bsky.social · 2d

This expressed emotion can help to predict the trajectory of their mental health over adolescence. The paper, published in #JCPP @acamh.bsky.social, raises some interesting questions - how can we use this data responsibly? Should children be able to hear what their parents have said about them?

It's finally here: our first RESEARCH EXPLORED video. Produced in partnership with @elstreescreenarts.bsky.social, this RESEARCH EXPLORED video dives into a project at @kingsioppn.bsky.social looking at 'expressed emotion' - how parents talk about their children.

First up: our study of expressed emotion in over 1,000 families taking part in the @eriskstudy.bsky.social study. What does expressed emotion tell us the parent-child relationship? And how can we use it to help identify children and families that need early support?

Through three short films, we'll explore some of our research on children and young people's mental health. This creative collaboration is putting young creatives training at Elstree Screen Arts Academy at the heart of mental health content: by young people, for young people.

Mark your calendars: our first RESEARCH EXPLORED video drops next week, October 6.

Find out more about this study in our first RESEARCH EXPLORED video, releasing 6 October. RESEARCH EXPLORED is a collaboration between @elstreescreenarts.bsky.social and the Lab. Through 3 short films, we'll explore research done at King's College London on children & young people's mental health.

CAMHS Digital Lab @camhsdlab.bsky.social · 8d

And this research raises a lot of important questions - how do we store these speech samples safely, and who should have access to them? What happens if children hear what their parents said about them?

CAMHS Digital Lab @camhsdlab.bsky.social · 8d

The point of this research isn't to blame parents. Instead, expressed emotion research helps us understand the parent-child relationship better, so we can identify and support children and families who may need support even earlier.

CAMHS Digital Lab @camhsdlab.bsky.social · 8d

In a study published in the #JournalofChildPsychologyAndPsychiatry @acamh.bsky.social of over 2000 twins in @eriskstudy.bsky.social, we found that expressed emotion expressed by mothers when the children were 10 years old predicted mental health outcomes at ages 12 and 18.

What is expressed emotion, and why does it matter?

Expressed emotion is the emotion - positive or negative - that a parent communicates when talking about their child 🧵
