This study reports results from the first International Body Project (IBP-I), which surveyed 7,434 individuals in 10 major world regions about body weight ideals and dissatisfaction. Participants completed female Contour Drawing Figure Rating Scale (CDFRS) self-reported their exposure to Western local media. Results indicated there were significant cross-regional differences ideal figure dissatisfaction, but effect sizes small across high-socioeconomic-status (SES) sites. Within cultures,...
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a heritable neurodevelopmental disorder. It has been linked to reductions in total brain volume and subcortical abnormalities. However, owing heterogeneity within between studies limited sample sizes, findings on the neuroanatomical substrates of ADHD have shown considerable variability. Moreover, it remains unclear whether alterations are also present unaffected siblings those with ADHD.To examine whole-brain volumes study familial...
Abstract Mindfulness-based programs (MBPs) are widely used to prevent mental ill health. Evidence suggests beneficial average effects but wide variability. We aimed confirm the effect of MBPs and understand whether how baseline distress, gender, age, education, dispositional mindfulness modify on distress among adults in non-clinical settings. conducted a systematic review individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis (PROSPERO CRD42020200117). Databases were searched December 2020 for...
Three UK studies on the relationship between a purpose‐built instrument to assess importance and development of 15 ‘soft skills’ are reported. Study 1 (N = 444) identified strong latent components underlying these soft skills, such that differences between‐skills were over‐shadowed by between‐students. Importance improving ratings skills predicted academic performance accounted for effects personality performance. 2 replicated structure inventory associations with in larger sample 1309)....
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is conceptualized as a neurodevelopmental that strongly heritable. However, to our knowledge, no study date has examined the genetic and environmental influences explaining interindividual differences in developmental course of ADHD symptoms from childhood adolescence (ie, systematic decreases or increases with age). The reason persist some children but decline others an important concern, implications for prognosis interventions.To assess...
Background Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is linked to increased risk for substance use disorders and nicotine dependence. Aims To examine the effects of stimulant treatment on subsequent dependence in a prospective longitudinal ADHD case–control study. Method At baseline we assessed ADHD, conduct oppositional defiant disorder. Substance disorders, were retrospectively after mean follow-up 4.4 years, at age 16.4 years. Results Stimulant was reduced compared with no...
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is more frequent in males than females. The "female protective effect" posits that females undergo greater exposure to etiological factors order develop ADHD, leading the prediction relatives of with ADHD will display behaviors. We thus tested whether cotwins displaying extreme traits would traits.Parents approximately 7,000 pairs nonidentical twins Sweden, and 4,000 England Wales, completed dimensional assessments traits. Probands were...
Data on structural brain alterations in patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been inconsistent. Both ADHD and volumes a strong genetic loading, but whether are familial has underexplored. We aimed to detect adolescents young adults compared healthy controls. examined these were also found their unaffected siblings, using uniquely large sample.We performed voxel-based morphometry analyses MRI scans of ADHD, siblings typically developing identified areas that...
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with structural abnormalities in total gray matter, basal ganglia, and cerebellum. Findings of frontal temporal lobes, amygdala, insula are less consistent. Remarkably, the impact comorbid oppositional defiant (ODD) (comorbidity rates up to 60%) on these neuroanatomical differences scarcely studied, while ODD (in combination conduct disorder) has been lobe, insula. The aim this study was investigate effect cerebral volume cortical...
Research in Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has had a clear focus on treatment and the dysfunction specific situation associated with condition. However, self-report, observational anecdotal evidence indicates that there are also positive aspects ADHD. potential features individuals an ADHD diagnosis is still limited, especially studies larger representative samples. Here we performed qualitative research to identify strengths large convenience sample from Dutch organization...
ADHD research has had a clear focus on symptoms, their negative consequences and the treatment of ADHD. However, previous qualitative found that people with diagnosis also self-report to experience strengths related This is one first quantitative studies investigate multiple self-reported in relation traits general population sample. Therefore, our aim was relationship between using measures. Our sample consisted individuals from UK, aged 18–60, n = 694. Next assessing traits, we collected...
Evidence suggests that children's self-perceptions of their abilities predict school achievement even after one accounts for tested cognitive ability (IQ). However, the roles nature and nurture in association between self-perceived (SPAs), independent IQ, is unknown. Here we reveal there are substantial genetic influences on SPAs covariance IQ. Although it has been assumed origins environmental, this first analysis yielded a heritability 51% sample 3,785 pairs twins, whereas shared...
Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and reading disability commonly co‐occur because of shared genetic risk factors. However, the stability change these influences predictive relationships underlying this association longitudinally remain unclear. Methods: ADHD symptoms were assessed as continuous dimensions in a UK general population sample approximately 7,000 twin pairs. Parent ratings teacher obtained at two ages: middle childhood (ages 7–8 years) early adolescence...
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and mathematics ability are associated, but little is known about the genetic environmental influences underlying this association.Data came from more than 6,000 twelve-year-old twin pairs UK population-representative Twins Early Development Study. Parents rated each twin's behaviour using a DSM-IV-based 18-item questionnaire of inattentive hyperactive-impulsive ADHD symptoms. Mathematics tests based on National Curriculum were...
