Abstract According to empirical studies and recent theories, people differ substantially in their reactivity or sensitivity environmental influences with some being generally more affected than others. More sensitive individuals have been described as orchids less-sensitive ones dandelions. Applying a data-driven approach, we explored the existence of groups sample 906 adults who completed highly person (HSP) scale. factor analyses, HSP scale reflects bifactor model general factor.

Background Although multiple cross‐sectional studies have shown symptoms of sluggish cognitive tempo ( SCT ) and attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder ADHD to be statistically distinct, yet examine the temporal stability measurement invariance in a longitudinal sample. To date, only six assessed longitudinally, with longest study examining over 2‐year period. The overall goals this were assess 10‐year interfactor relationships among community sample children. Methods Confirmatory factor...

This study (a) determined whether clinical elevations of sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptom distributions in a large community sample children would allow for identifying SCT-only, ADHD-only, SCT + ADHD groups; (b) examined co-occurrence clinically elevated ADHD; (c) evaluated these groups differed their gender distribution, co-occurring mental health symptoms, or impairment academic social functioning; (d) explored patterns...

A nationally representative sample of U.S. children was used to determine the empirical and clinical differentiation sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms using both categorical dimensional approaches. Mothers (N = 2,056, M± SDage 8.49 ± 2.15 years, 49.3% girls) completed measures SCT, ADHD, oppositional defiant (ODD), anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, daily life executive functioning, conflicted shyness, friendship social academic...

Objective Cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS) includes excessive daydreaming, mental confusion, and hypoactive behaviors that are distinct from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder inattentive (ADHD-IN) symptoms. A growing number of studies indicate CDS symptoms may be associated with ratings social withdrawal. However, it is important to examine this association in children specifically recruited for the presence or absence CDS, incorporate multiple methods including direct...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the validity a new parent rating scale Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT). SCT defined with 10 symptom domains—daydreams; attention fluctuates; absentminded; loses train thought; easily confused; seems drowsy; thinking is slow; slow-moving; low initiative; and bored, needs stimulation—with each domain represented by multiple examples.

Sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) is distinct from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder inattention (ADHD-IN) and concurrently associated with a range of impairment domains. However, few longitudinal studies have examined SCT as predictor adjustment. Studies to date all used relatively short time span (6 months 2 years) only rating scale measures Using prospective, multi-method design, this study whether ADHD-IN were differentially functioning over 10-year period between preschool the end...

Symmetrical bifactor models are frequently applied to diverse symptoms of psychopathology identify a general P factor. This factor is assumed mark shared liability across all dimensions and mental disorders. Despite their popularity, however, symmetrical often yield anomalous results, including but not limited nonsignificant or negative specific variances loadings. To date, these anomalies have been treated as nuisances be explained away. In this article, we demonstrate why alter the...

Cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS), formerly termed sluggish cognitive tempo, is a set of symptoms characterized by excessive daydreaming, mental confusion, and slowed behavior/thinking. CDS distinct from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) other psychopathologies uniquely associated with functional impairment. However, despite significant progress in developing evaluating rating scale measures CDS, no clinical interview exists established psychometric properties that can...
