Associations between family relationships and symptoms/strengths at kindergarten age: what is the role of children's parental representations? / Stephanie STADELMANN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 48-10 (October 2007)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 48-10 (October 2007) . - p.996–1004 Titre : Associations between family relationships and symptoms/strengths at kindergarten age: what is the role of children's parental representations? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Stephanie STADELMANN, Auteur ; Sonja PERREN, Auteur ; Agnes VON WYL, Auteur ; Kai VON KLITZING, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.996–1004 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Kindergarten-age parental-representations play-narratives family-environment psychopathology symptoms pro-social-behaviour Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The quality of the family relationships plays an important role in the development of children's psychopathology and in their socio-emotional development. This longitudinal study aims to investigate whether family relationships are related to children's symptoms/strengths at kindergarten, and whether family relationships are predictors of changes in children's symptoms/strengths between 5 and 6. Our main interest is to examine the role of children's parental representations. Methods: One hundred and fifty-three kindergarten children (67 girls, 86 boys) participated in this study. Children's parental representations were assessed using a story stem task (age 5). The family environment was assessed using parents’ ratings (age 5). A multi-informant approach (parent, teacher, child) was employed to assess children's symptoms/strengths at 5 and 6. Children were interviewed using a standardised puppet interview. Parents and teachers completed questionnaires. Results: Children's parental representations as well as the family environment were associated with children's symptoms/strengths at 5 and 6. When controlled for gender, children's representations were the only predictor of changes in symptoms/strengths between 5 and 6. A large number of negative parental representations at 5 predicted an increase in conduct problems. A large number of positive parental representations at 5 predicted an increase in pro-social behaviour. In terms of emotional symptoms and hyperactivity/inattention, symptoms at 5 were the only predictor for symptoms one year later. Conclusions: Our results suggest that kindergarten children's narrative representations may elaborate the processes underlying the expression of child disturbance and strengths, and underline the relevance of the play and narration of young children for diagnostics and therapy.

Latent trajectories of internalizing symptoms from preschool to school age: A multi-informant study in a high-risk sample / Annette M. KLEIN in Development and Psychopathology, 31-2 (May 2019)

However, few prospective studies in high-risk samples delineate distinct trajectories of internalizing symptoms from preschool age onward. We examined trajectories in a high-risk cohort, oversampled for internalizing symptoms, several preschool risk/maintenance factors, and school-age outcomes. Parents of 325 children completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire on up to four waves of data collection from preschool (3–5 years) to school age (8–9 years) and Preschool Age Psychiatric Assessment interviews at both ages. Multi-informant data were collected on risk factors and symptoms. Growth mixture modelling identified four trajectory classes of internalizing symptoms with stable low, rising low-to-moderate, stable moderate, and stable high symptoms. Children in the stable high symptom trajectory manifested clinically relevant internalizing symptoms, mainly diagnosed with anxiety disorders/depression at preschool and school age. Trajectories differed regarding loss/separation experience, maltreatment, maternal psychopathology, temperament, and stress-hormone regulation with loss/separation, temperament, maternal psychopathology, and stress-hormone regulation (trend) significantly contributing to explained variance. At school age, trajectories continued to differ on symptoms, disorders, and impairment. Our study is among the first to show that severe early adversity may trigger a chronic and neurobiologically distinct internalizing trajectory from preschool age onward.

Social behavior and peer relationships of victims, bully-victims, and bullies in kindergarten / Sonja PERREN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 47-1 (January 2006)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 47-1 (January 2006) . - p.45–57 Titre : Social behavior and peer relationships of victims, bully-victims, and bullies in kindergarten Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sonja PERREN, Auteur ; Françoise D. ALSAKER, Auteur Année de publication : 2006 Article en page(s) : p.45–57 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Bullying peer-victimization kindergarten-age peer-relationships social-behavior Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Although the prevalence of bully/victim problems in school-age children and adolescents has been investigated in many countries, only a few studies have been carried out among younger children. This study examines social behaviors and peer relationships of children involved in bully/victim problems in kindergarten. Methods: Three hundred and forty-four five- to seven-year-old children participated. Children were categorized as victims, bully-victims, bullies, and non-involved by means of teacher ratings and peer nominations. Teachers completed questionnaires on children's social behavior patterns. Peer relationships were assessed by means of peer nominations and social cluster mapping. Results: Compared to non-involved children, victims were more submissive, had fewer leadership skills, were more withdrawn, more isolated, less cooperative, less sociable, and frequently had no playmates. As expected, bullies and bully-victims were generally more aggressive than their peers. In addition, bully-victims were less cooperative, less sociable, and more frequently had no playmates than non-involved children. Bullies were less prosocial, and had more leadership skills than non-involved children. Bullies belonged to larger social clusters and were frequently affiliated with other bullies or bully-victims. Conclusions: We were able to establish distinct behavior patterns for bullies, bully-victims, and victims. Some of these social behaviors may be considered as risk factors for being victimized or becoming a bully. Our findings also emphasize the significance of peer relationships in bully/victim problems. On the one hand, victimized children's lack of friends might render them psychologically and socially vulnerable, and thus more prone to becoming easy targets. On the other hand, bullies seemed to be preferred playmates, particularly for other aggressive boys. This affiliation of aggressive children might lead to an increase in bullying behavior. Our understanding of the social and interactional nature of bullying and victimization has practical implications for prevention and intervention against bully/victim problems.

The impact of peer victimization on later maladjustment: mediating and moderating effects of hostile and self-blaming attributions / Sonja PERREN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 54-1 (January 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 54-1 (January 2013) . - 46-55 Titre : The impact of peer victimization on later maladjustment: mediating and moderating effects of hostile and self-blaming attributions Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sonja PERREN, Auteur ; Idean ETTEKAL, Auteur ; Gary LADD, Auteur Article en page(s) : 46-55 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Peer victimization  hostile attributions  self-blame  internalizing problems  externalizing problems Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Evidence indicates that being a victim of bullying or peer aggression has negative short- and long-term consequences. In this study, we investigated the mediating and moderating role of two types of attributional mechanisms (hostile and self-blaming attributions) on children?s maladjustment (externalizing and internalizing problems). Methods: In total, 478 children participated in this longitudinal study from grade 5 to grade 7. Children, parents, and teachers repeatedly completed questionnaires. Peer victimization was assessed through peer reports (T1). Attributions were assessed through self-reports using hypothetical scenarios (T2). Parents and teachers reported on children?s maladjustment (T1 and T3). Results: Peer victimization predicted increases in externalizing and internalizing problems. Hostile attributions partially mediated the impact of victimization on increases in externalizing problems. Self-blame was not associated with peer victimization. However, for children with higher levels of self-blaming attributions, peer victimization was linked more strongly with increases in internalizing problems. Conclusions: Results imply that hostile attributions may operate as a potential mechanism through which negative experiences with peers lead to increases in children?s aggressive and delinquent behavior, whereas self-blame exacerbates victimization?s effects on internalizing problems.
