Confirming the etiology of adolescent acting-out behaviors: an examination of observer-ratings in a sample of adoptive and biological siblings / S. Alexandra BURT in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 52-5 (May 2011)

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.

Contributions of Parent–Adolescent Negative Emotionality, Adolescent Conflict, and Adoption Status to Adolescent Externalizing Behaviors / Bibiana D. KOH in Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology, 40-6 (November-December 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology > 40-6 (November-December 2011) . - p.825-836 Titre : Contributions of Parent–Adolescent Negative Emotionality, Adolescent Conflict, and Adoption Status to Adolescent Externalizing Behaviors Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Bibiana D. KOH, Auteur ; Martha A. RUETER, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.825-836 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although most adopted children are well adjusted, research has consistently found that adopted adolescents are at an increased risk for externalizing behaviors. The present investigation tested a model whereby parent–adolescent negative emotionality traits, adolescent conflict, and adoption status contribute to adolescent externalizing behaviors. The study included 616 families with at least one parent and two adolescent siblings with a maximum 5-year age difference. The analyses used data from the mothers (M age = 45.56, SD = 4.23), fathers (M age = 48.23, SD = 4.42), and the elder sibling (M age = 16.14, SD = 1.5). Findings support two conflict-mediated family processes that contributed to externalizing behaviors: one initiated by parent–adolescent traits and one by adoption status. Findings also underscore the salience of conflict in families and the significance of aggressive traits and negative emotionality. Contrary to previous research, we found that adoption status did not directly add to our explanation of adolescent externalizing behaviors beyond our proposed process. Instead, adoption status was indirectly associated with externalizing problems through a conflict-mediated relationship.

Post-adoption contact, adoption communicative openness, and satisfaction with contact as predictors of externalizing behavior in adolescence and emerging adulthood / Harold D. GROTEVANT in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 52-5 (May 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 52-5 (May 2011) . - p.529-536 Titre : Post-adoption contact, adoption communicative openness, and satisfaction with contact as predictors of externalizing behavior in adolescence and emerging adulthood Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Harold D. GROTEVANT, Auteur ; Martha A. RUETER, Auteur ; Lynn VON KORFF, Auteur ; Christopher GONZALEZ, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.529-536 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adoption  post-adoption contact  family communication  externalizing behavior  satisfaction  adolescence  emerging adulthood Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background:  This study examined the relation between three variables related to adoptive family relationships (post-adoption contact between adoptive and birth family members, adoption communicative openness, and satisfaction with contact) and adoptee externalizing behavior in adolescence and emerging adulthood. Method:  The study included 190 families of infant-placed, domestic adoptees during childhood, adolescence, and emerging adulthood. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze predictors of externalizing behavior from contact (adoptive parents and adolescent reports), adoption communicative openness (adoptive mothers), and satisfaction with contact (adoptive parents and adolescent). Results:  Externalizing behavior showed moderate stability across childhood, adolescence, and emerging adulthood. Contact and adoption communicative openness were related to each other, but not to externalizing behaviors in adolescence or emerging adulthood. Controlling for the effect of Childhood Externalizing, adoptive families most satisfied with contact reported relative declines in adoptee externalizing behavior during adolescence compared to those in less satisfied families. Satisfaction was also indirectly associated with Emerging Adult Externalizing, through its effect on Adolescent Externalizing. Conclusions:  Although contact and adoption communicative openness were highly correlated with each other, neither was related to adoptees’ externalizing behavior in adolescence or emerging adulthood. Family-level satisfaction with contact was more predictive of externalizing outcomes.
