 The SNAP Study (Situational Negative Affect and Physiology) examines how individuals cope with stress emotionally, physiologically, and cognitively and how individual differences in stress coping may be related to individual differences in temperament, rumination, and depressive symptoms. SNAP examines these processes in older adolescents (18–19 year olds) and SNAP-4-Kids examines these processes in young adolescents (10–13 year olds). Both SNAP and SNAP-4-Kids include a series of questionnaires and a visit to our lab at Seattle Pacific University to complete computer tasks.

 Women ROCK is a depression-preventive intervention program for first-year females at SPU. Young women participate in an eight-week manualized stress and emotion regulation program teaching such skills as breathing techniques, mindfulness, and progressive muscle relaxation. Women report on stress, emotion regulation, and depressive symptoms across the first year of college. To learn more, contact Dr. Amy Mezulis at mezulis@spu.edu.
 The M & M study examines the relationships among mood, rumination, and memory among college students. Participants complete a series of questionnaires; a computerized task; and a memory assessment. To learn more, contact Lauren Smith at smithl9@spu.edu.
 Youth PREVAIL is a short-term prospective study examining stress, cognitive vulnerabilities, and depressive symptoms among LGBQ adolescents. To learn more, contact Jordan Simonson at simonson@spu.edu.

A.C.E. Lab Prior Research Studies
The Stress and Coping Study was conducted during the 2008–10 school years. The purpose was to examine how negative cognitive style, rumination, co-rumination, and affect interact with stress to predict depressive symptoms. We also examined how these vulnerabilities are related to one another, how boys and girls differ in their mean levels of vulnerabilities and stress, and how boys and girls differ in the predictive relationships between vulnerabilities and stress and depression in adolescence. We used a weekly diary format to identify patterns among these variables over time.
