Titre : Chickens and eggs—how should we interpret environment-behavior associations? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : S. Alexandra BURT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.113-115 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : As usual, the research published in this issue of the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry contains impressive state-of-the-science studies of child and adolescent psychopathology and related issues. Breeman and colleagues, for example, found that children born before 32 weeks gestation or with a very low birth weight (<1,500 g) were not only more frequently diagnosed with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) during childhood, but continued to have an increased risk for attention problems up through early adulthood.

Titre : Commentary: Childhood conduct problems are a public health crisis and require resources: a commentary on Rivenbark et al. () Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : S. Alexandra BURT, Auteur ; L. W. HYDE, Auteur ; P. J. FRICK, Auteur ; Sara R. JAFFEE, Auteur ; D. S. SHAW, Auteur ; R. TREMBLAY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.711-713 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Conduct problems (CP) are actions that violate societal norms and/or the personal/property rights of others, and include behaviors such as vandalism, theft, bullying, and assault. Roughly 8%-10% of children engage in the more severe childhood-onset form of CP, while another 25% initiate clinically-significant levels of CP during adolescence. As deftly observed in Rivenbark et al. (), however, the high prevalence of CP belies its severity: Youth with CP are at increased risk for a number of deleterious individual outcomes, including academic delay/dropout, low professional achievement, psychopathology, addiction, and family instability.

Titre : Commentary: Improving treatment for youth with callous-unemotional traits through the intersection of basic and applied science – reflections on Dadds et al. (2014) Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Luke W. HYDE, Auteur ; Rebecca WALLER, Auteur ; S. Alexandra BURT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.781-783 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is increasing evidence that callous-unemotional (CU) traits delineate a distinctive group of youth with antisocial behavior (AB). While controversies surrounding the construct of CU traits remain, the Dadds et al. (2014) study in this issue is emblematic of recent research that has focused on understanding the development of CU traits among antisocial youth. We explore four pertinent issues in the study of youth AB highlighted by this study, and highlight this study as exemplar research program that will ultimately help youth and families through translation from the lab to the clinic.

Titre : Confirming the etiology of adolescent acting-out behaviors: an examination of observer-ratings in a sample of adoptive and biological siblings Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : S. Alexandra BURT, Auteur ; Ashlea M. KLAHR, Auteur ; Martha A. RUETER, Auteur ; Matt MCGUE, Auteur ; William G. IACONO, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.519-526 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Shared environment antisocial behavior adoption design observer-ratings Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: A recent meta-analysis revealed moderate shared environmental influences (C) on most forms of child and adolescent psychopathology (Burt, 2009), including antisocial behavior. Critically, however, the research analyzed in this meta-analysis relied largely on specific informant-reports (and particularly parent and child reports), each of which is subject to various sources of rater bias. Observer-ratings of children’s behaviors avoid many of these biases, and are thus well suited to verify the presence of C. Given this, we sought to buttress the evidence supporting C in two key ways. First, we sought to confirm that C contributes to observer-ratings in a sample of adoptive siblings, as similarity between adoptive siblings constitutes a ‘direct’ estimate of C. Second, we sought to confirm that these shared environmental influences persist across informants (i.e., the effects are not specific to the rater or the context in question).
Methods: The current study examined the etiology of observer-ratings of acting-out behaviors, as well as sources of etiological overlap across observer-ratings, adolescent self-report and maternal-report in sample of over 600 biological and adoptive sibling pairs from the Sibling Interaction and Behavior Study (SIBS).
Results: Results revealed moderate and significant shared environmental influences on observer-ratings (31%), as well as on the other informant-reports (20–23%). Moreover, a portion of these effects overlapped across measures (C correlations ranged from .32 to .34).
Conclusions: Such findings argue against passive gene–environment correlations (rGE) and rater bias as primary explanations for earlier findings of C on antisocial behavior, and in this way, offer a critical extension of prior work indicating that the role of shared environmental influences on child and adolescent antisocial behavior was dismissed too soon.En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2010.02334.x Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=121

Titre : Editorial: A double-edged sword: advantages and disadvantages to the current emphasis on biogenetic causes of child psychopathology Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : S. Alexandra BURT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.105-107 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biogenetics biology–environment interplay child psychopathology main effects Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research on child psychopathology is a largely biogenetic endeavor these days, at least according to current funding priorities at the National Institutes of Health in the US. This heavy focus on genetic contributions to child psychopathology has some real advantages. Available research has conclusively indicated that child and adolescent mental health problems are partially genetic in origin and, moreover, are related to neural structure and function (as an example, see Plomin et al.). Moreover, these genetic effects may be responsible for some previously reported ‘environmental’ effects, such that, what appear to be direct environmental risk factors may in fact reflect genetic/familial risks. As one example, Sengupta et al. (this issue) found that maternal smoking during pregnancy was in fact a marker of maternal and paternal psychopathology. Put another way, the association between ADHD and maternal smoking during pregnancy may index a genetic/familial risk for a more severe form of ADHD, rather than a direct effect of uterine exposure to cigarettes. A final, more subtle reason for the current trend towards biogenetic research is that it has the rarely-discussed but all-too-important ‘allure of the unknown’. We have only just recently been able to directly explore the biological underpinnings of psychopathology; and as technology advances, so too will the insights gained (presumably). This offers both funding agencies and individual scientists the very real possibility of making a major new discovery – a siren's call for most of us. In sharp contrast, decades of research have explored putatively environmental contributions to child and adolescent psychopathology. New paradigm-shifting discoveries are thus likely to be fewer in number and farther between (if we continue using traditional study designs that omit joint consideration of biology, that is). In short, biogenetic research just feels more cutting edge at the moment. The clear merits of such work notwithstanding, there are a number of critical disadvantages to the current emphasis on genetics. These issues are presented below, not necessarily in order of importance.
