Emerging adulthood is a key risk period for depression and anxiety, potentially in part because still-developing executive function is not adequate to fully cope with new roles and demands, increasing stress. I will discuss two lines of research which seek to better understand these risk factors. The first tests a risk pathway linking poor executive function to internalizing psychopathology via stress generation and repetitive negative thinking. The second further probes links between stress and internalizing psychopathology risk, focusing on the role of stressor appraisals and stress coping.
