Childhood personality pathology: Dimensional stability and change / Barbara DE CLERCQ in Development and Psychopathology, 21-3 (August 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 21-3 (August 2009) . - p.853-869 Titre : Childhood personality pathology: Dimensional stability and change Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Barbara DE CLERCQ, Auteur ; Filip DE FRUYT, Auteur ; Karla VAN LEEWEN, Auteur ; Wim VAN DEN NOORTGATE, Auteur ; Marleen DE BOLLE, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.853-869 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Studies on the developmental course of personality disorders have suggested that adult personality disorders enclose both features with a natural plasticity over time, as well as stable components represented by underlying trait dimensions. The current study broadens this dimensional stability perspective toward an earlier developmental stage, and describes with different indices of stability the longitudinal behavior of basic childhood maladaptive trait dimensions in a community sample of 477 Flemish children. The results underscore structural, rank-order, and within-person stability for the disagreeableness, emotional instability, introversion, and compulsivity dimensions and suggest a similar maturation principle as has been proposed for adults. Individual growth curve analyses indicate that children's maladaptive trait scores generally decrease as they grow older, with a smaller decline for high-scoring individuals. Childhood maladaptive traits and general psychopathology dimensions show similar longitudinal patterns in terms of shape and change over time, supporting a spectrum conceptualization of Axis I related pathology and personality disorder precursors at young age. The implications of these findings for a developmental perspective on dimensional conceptualizations of personality disorders are discussed.

Childhood personality types: vulnerability and adaptation over time / Barbara DE CLERCQ in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 53-6 (June 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 53-6 (June 2012) . - p.716–722 Titre : Childhood personality types: vulnerability and adaptation over time Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Barbara DE CLERCQ, Auteur ; David RETTEW, Auteur ; Robert R. ALTHOFF, Auteur ; Marleen DE BOLLE, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.716–722 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Child  personality  psychopathology  adaptation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background:  Substantial evidence suggests that a Five-Factor Model personality assessment generates a valid description of childhood individual differences and relates to a range of psychological outcomes. Less is known, however, about naturally occurring profiles of personality and their links to psychopathology. The current study explores whether childhood personality characteristics tend to cluster in particular personality profiles that show unique associations with psychopathology and quality of life across time. Methods:  Latent class analysis was conducted on maternal rated general personality of a Flemish childhood community sample (N = 477; mean age 10.6 years). The associations of latent class membership probability with psychopathology and quality of life 2 years later were examined, using a multi-informant perspective. Results:  Four distinguishable latent classes were found, representing a Moderate, a Protected, an Undercontrolled and a Vulnerable childhood personality type. Each of these types showed unique associations with childhood outcomes across raters. Conclusions:  Four different personality types can be delineated at young age and have a significant value in understanding vulnerability and adaptation over time.

Exploring the complexity of the childhood trait–psychopathology association: Continuity, pathoplasty, and complication effects / Marleen DE BOLLE in Development and Psychopathology, 28-1 (February 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 28-1 (February 2016) . - p.139-148 Titre : Exploring the complexity of the childhood trait–psychopathology association: Continuity, pathoplasty, and complication effects Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Marleen DE BOLLE, Auteur ; Barbara DE CLERCQ, Auteur ; Elien DE CALUWÉ, Auteur ; Lize VERBEKE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.139-148 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Four different models have been generally proposed as plausible etiological explanations for the relation between personality and psychopathology, namely, the vulnerability, complication, pathoplasty, and spectrum or continuity model. The current study entails a joint investigation of the continuity, pathoplasty, and complication models to explain the nature of the associations between early maladaptive traits and psychopathology over time in 717 referred and community children (54.4% girls), aged from 8 to 14 years. Across a 2-year time span, maladaptive traits and psychopathology were measured at three different time points, thereby relying on comprehensive and age-specific dimensional operationalizations of both personality symptoms and psychopathology. The results demonstrate overall compelling evidence for the continuity model, finding more focused support for pathoplasty and complication effects for particular combinations of personality symptoms and psychopathology dimensions. As expected, the continuity associations were found to be more robust for those personality–psychopathology associations that are conceptually closer, such as the emotional instability/introversion–internalizing problems association and the disagreeableness–externalizing problems association. Continuity associations were also stronger when personality was considered from a maladaptive rather than from a general trait perspective. The implication of the findings for the treatment of psychopathology and personality symptoms are briefly discussed.
