Abstract This study reports the development of Reactive–Proactive Aggression Questionnaire (RPQ), and differential correlates these two forms aggression. Antisocial, psychosocial personality measures were obtained at ages 7 16 years in schoolboys, while RPQ was administered to 334 boys age years. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a significant fit for two‐factor proactive–reactive model that replicated from one independent subsample another. Proactive aggression uniquely characterized...
Abstract High rates of comorbidity are observed between internalizing and externalizing problems, yet the developmental dynamics comorbid symptom presentations not well understood. This study explored course latent profiles symptoms across kindergarten, first grade, second grade. The sample consisted 336 children from an urban, low-income community, selected based on relatively high (61%) or low (39%) aggressive/oppositional behavior problems at school entry (64% male; 70% African American,...
Numerous studies have revealed autonomic underarousal in conduct-disordered adolescents and antisocial adults. It is unknown, however, whether similar markers are present at-risk preschoolers. In this study, the authors compared profiles of 4- to 6-year-old children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) oppositional defiant (ODD; n = 18) those age-matched controls (n 20). Children ADHD ODD exhibited fewer electrodermal responses lengthened cardiac preejection periods at...
Background: Several theoretical perspectives suggest that emotion dysregulation is a predisposing risk factor for many psychiatric disorders. Yet despite rapidly evolving literature, difficulties with regulation (ER) are often measured inconsistently across studies, little regard to whether different approaches capture the same construct. In this study, we evaluate correspondence between two widely used measures of cut self‐report and physiological levels analysis. Our objectives were (1)...
In this study, we evaluated predictors of resilience among 8- to 12-year-old children recruited from primarily low socioeconomic status neighborhoods, 117 whom suffered clinical levels conduct problems and/or depression, and 63 no significant symptoms. Tests interactions were conducted between (a) paternal antisocial behavior maternal depression (b) several physiological indices child temperament emotionality in predicting (c) children's depression. Both internalizing externalizing outcomes...
To evaluate measures of cardiac activity and reactivity as prospective biomarkers treatment response to an empirically supported behavioral intervention for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Low resting respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), and to a lesser extent excessive RSA reactivity emotion evocation, are observed in many psychiatric disorders characterized by dysregulation, including syndromes spanning the internalizing externalizing spectra, other conditions such as nonsuicidal self-injury. Nevertheless, some inconsistencies exist. For example, null outcomes studies of RSA-emotion dysregulation relations sometimes among younger participants. Such findings may derive from...
Abstract This study examined parasympathetic physiology as a moderator of the effects early adversity (i.e., child abuse and neglect) on children's inhibitory control. Children's respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) was assessed during resting baseline, two joint challenge tasks with mother, an individual frustration task. RSA each parent–child moderated maltreatment (CM) status independently‐assessed No moderation effect found for at baseline or in child‐alone Among CM‐exposed children, lower...
One of the primary tenets polyvagal theory dictates that parasympathetic influence on heart rate, often estimated by respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), shifts rapidly in response to changing environmental demands. The current standard analytic approach aggregating RSA estimates across time arrive at one value fails capture this dynamic property within individuals. By utilizing recent methodological developments enable precise smaller intervals, we demonstrate utility computing time-varying...
Evidence suggests that living near green space supports mental health, but studies examining the association of with early health symptoms among children are rare.
Opposing theories of striatal hyper- and hypodopaminergic functioning have been suggested in the pathophysiology externalizing behavior disorders. To test these competing theories, authors used functional MRI to evaluate neural activity during a simple reward task 12- 16-year-old boys with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and/or conduct (n = 19) controls no psychiatric condition 11). The proceeded blocks which participants received either (a) monetary incentives for correct responses...
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) and major depressive (MDD) share numerous features, including dysphoric affect, irritability, suicidality, a heightened sensitivity to perceived interpersonal rejection. However, these disorders are associated with divergent profiles of reactivity rejection: Individuals MDD more likely respond withdrawal isolation, those BPD appear increased approach behaviors greater hostility. Potential mechanisms underlying patterns response have not been elaborated....
Abstract This Special Issue is devoted to the illustration and discussion of three key demographic variables (sex/gender, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status) that have been shown moderate associations between psychophysiological processes behavior. The introduction issue discusses role phenotypic plasticity in emergence different neural achieve same behavioral outcome, with emphasis on how these relatively stable developmental contexts affect brain/behavior without necessarily resulting...
Abstract. There has been an unprecedented increase in the number of research studies employing event-related potential (ERP) techniques to examine dynamic and rapidly occurring neural processes with children during preschool early childhood years. Despite this, there relatively little discussion methodological procedural differences that exist for young versus older adults. That is, reviewers, editors, consumers this work often expect developmental simply apply adult procedures younger...
To examine whether a previously reported association between airborne lead exposure and children's cognitive function replicates across geographically diverse sample of the United States.
Child maltreatment (CM) lies on an extreme end of the continuum parenting-at-risk, and while CM has been linked with a variety behavioral indicators dysregulation in children, less is known about how physiological markers regulatory capacity contribute to this association. The present study examined patterns mother child regulation their relations observed differences parenting processes during structured interaction. Abusing, neglecting, non-CM mothers 3- 5-year-old children completed...
Abstract Resting EEG asymmetry evident early in life is thought to bias affective behaviors and contribute the development of psychopathology. However, it remains unclear at what stage information processing this occurs. Asymmetry may serve as an afferent filter, modulating emotional reactivity incoming stimuli; or efferent behavioral response tendencies under conditions. This study examines 209 kindergarten children ( M = 6.03 years old) test predictions put forth by two models. was...
