Diagnostic specificity and nonspecificity in the dimensions of preschool psychopathology / Sonya K. STERBA in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 48-10 (October 2007)

STERBA, Auteur ; Helen Link EGGER, Auteur ; Adrian ANGOLD, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.1005–1013 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Internal-validity comorbidity preschool-children nosology DSM validity confirmatory-factor-analysis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The appropriateness of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) nosology for classifying preschool mental health disturbances continues to be debated. To inform this debate, we investigate whether preschool psychopathology shows differentiation along diagnostically specific lines when DSM-IV symptoms are aggregated statistically. Methods: One thousand seventy-three parents of preschoolers aged 2–5 years attending a large pediatric clinic completed the Child Behavior Checklist 1.5–5. A stratified probability sample of 193 parents of high scorers and 114 parents of low scorers were interviewed with the Preschool Age Psychiatric Assessment (PAPA). Confirmatory factor analysis was performed on symptoms from seven DSM disorders. Results: Comparison of competing models supported the differentiation of emotional syndromes into three factors: social phobia (SOC), separation anxiety (SAD), and depression/generalized anxiety (MDD/GAD), and the differentiation of disruptive syndromes into three factors: oppositional defiant/conduct syndrome (ODD/CD), hyperactivity/impulsivity, and inattention. Latent syndrome correlations were moderately high after accounting for symptom overlap and measurement error. Conclusions: Psychopathology appears to be differentiated among preschoolers much as it is among older children, and adolescents. We conclude that it is as reasonable to apply the DSM-IV nosology to preschoolers as it is to apply it to older individuals.

Longitudinal dimensionality of adolescent psychopathology: testing the differentiation hypothesis / Sonya K. STERBA in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 51-8 (August 2010)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 51-8 (August 2010) . - p.871-884 Titre : Longitudinal dimensionality of adolescent psychopathology: testing the differentiation hypothesis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sonya K. STERBA, Auteur ; Helen Link EGGER, Auteur ; Adrian ANGOLD, Auteur ; E. Jane COSTELLO, Auteur ; Alaattin ERKANLI, Auteur ; William COPELAND, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.871-884 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Comorbidity Diagnostic-and-Statistical-Manual factor-analysis longitudinal dimensionality development internal-validity adolescent Axis-I-psychopathology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background:  The differentiation hypothesis posits that the underlying liability distribution for psychopathology is of low dimensionality in young children, inflating diagnostic comorbidity rates, but increases in dimensionality with age as latent syndromes become less correlated. This hypothesis has not been adequately tested with longitudinal psychiatric symptom data. Methods:  Confirmatory factor analyses of DSM-IV symptoms from seven common Axis I syndromes – major depression, generalized anxiety, separation anxiety, social anxiety, attention deficient hyperactivity, conduct, and oppositional defiant disorders – were conducted longitudinally, from ages 9 to 16, using the general-population Great Smoky Mountains Study sample. Results:  An eight-syndrome model fit well at all ages, and in both genders. It included social anxiety, separation anxiety, oppositional defiant, and conduct syndromes, along with a multidimensional attention deficit-hyperactivity syndrome (i.e., inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity) and a unidimensional major depression/generalized anxiety syndrome. A high degree of measurement invariance across age was found for all syndromes, except for major depression/generalized anxiety. Major depression and generalized anxiety syndromes slightly diverged at age 14–16, when they also began to explain more symptom variance. Additionally, correlations between some emotional and disruptive syndromes showed slight differentiation.

Matching method with theory in person-oriented developmental psychopathology research / Sonya K. STERBA in Development and Psychopathology, 22-2 (May 2010)

STERBA, Auteur ; Daniel J. BAUER, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.239-254 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The person-oriented approach seeks to match theories and methods that portray development as a holistic, highly interactional, and individualized process. Over the past decade, this approach has gained popularity in developmental psychopathology research, particularly as model-based varieties of person-oriented methods have emerged. Although these methods allow some principles of person-oriented theory to be tested, little attention has been paid to the fact that these methods cannot test other principles, and may actually be inconsistent with certain principles. Lacking clarification regarding which aspects of person-oriented theory are testable under which person-oriented methods, assumptions of the methods have sometimes been presented as testable hypotheses or interpreted as affirming the theory. This general blurring of the line between person-oriented theory and method has even led to the occasional perception that the method is the theory and vice versa. We review assumptions, strengths, and limitations of model-based person-oriented methods, clarifying which theoretical principles they can test and the compromises and trade-offs required to do so.

Trajectories of internalizing problems across childhood: Heterogeneity, external validity, and gender differences / Sonya K. STERBA in Development and Psychopathology, 19-2 (Spring 2007)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 19-2 (Spring 2007) . - p.345-366 Titre : Trajectories of internalizing problems across childhood: Heterogeneity, external validity, and gender differences Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sonya K. STERBA, Auteur ; Mitchell J. PRINSTEIN, Auteur ; Martha J. COX, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.345-366 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Developmental psychopathology theory speaks to the existence of early-manifesting internalizing problems with a heterogeneous longitudinal course. However, the course of internalizing problems has been investigated largely from late childhood onward, with methods that assume children's problem trajectories vary more so in rate than in qualitative functional form. This can obscure heterogeneity in symptom process and course, obscure onset of early gender differences in internalizing problems, and obscure the relevance of early sociocontextual risks for long-term internalizing outcomes. The present study addressed these issues by using person-oriented (latent growth mixture) methods to model heterogeneity in maternal-reported internalizing symptoms from age 2 to 11 years (N = 1,364). Three latent trajectory classes were supported for each gender: two-thirds of children followed a low-stable trajectory; smaller proportions followed decreasing/increasing or elevated-stable trajectories. Although the number, shape, and predictive validity of internalizing trajectory classes were similar across gender, trajectory classes' initial values and rates of change varied significantly across gender, as did the impact of maternal postpartum depression and anxiety on latent growth factors. Extracted latent trajectories were differentially predicted by postpartum maternal psychopathology, and themselves, in several respects, differentially predicted self-reported depressive symptoms in preadolescence. However, discussion focuses on the need for further external validation of extracted latent classes.
