Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yolanda VAN BEEK, Auteur ; David J. HESSEN, Auteur ; Roos HUTTEMAN, Auteur ; Esmée E. VERHULP, Auteur ; Mirande VAN LEUVEN, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.973-85 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Depression  adolescence  gender  development  measurement bias Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background:  Since developmental psychologists are interested in explaining age and gender differences in depression across adolescence, it is important to investigate to what extent these observed differences can be attributed to measurement bias. Measurement bias may arise when the phenomenology of depression varies with age or gender, i.e., when younger versus older adolescents or girls versus boys differ in the way depression is experienced or expressed. Methods:  The Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI) was administered to a large school population (N = 4048) aged 8–17 years. A 4-factor model was selected by means of factor analyses for ordered categorical measures. For each of the four factor scales measurement invariance with respect to gender and age (late childhood, early and middle adolescence) was tested using item response theory analyses. Subsequently, to examine which items contributed to measurement bias, all items were studied for differential item functioning (DIF). Finally, it was investigated how developmental patterns changed if measurement biases were accounted for. Results:  For each of the factors Self-Deprecation, Dysphoria, School Problems, and Social Problems measurement bias with respect to both gender and age was found and many items showed DIF. Developmental patterns changed profoundly when measurement bias was taken into account. The CDI seemed to particularly overestimate depression in late childhood, and underestimate depression in middle adolescent boys. Conclusions:  For scientific as well as clinical use of the CDI, measurement bias with respect to gender and age should be accounted for.

Detecting social information processing profiles of boys with aggressive behavior problems: An interactive virtual reality approach / Anouk VAN DIJK ; Sander THOMAES ; Esmée E. VERHULP ; Maaike M. VAN REST ; Bram O. DE CASTRO in Development and Psychopathology, 35-4 (October 2023)

The aim of this study was to test whether it is possible to detect distinct social information processing (SIP) profiles among boys with aggressive behavior problems. We therefore conducted Latent Profile Analyses on boys' SIP patterns assessed in interactive virtual reality. Additionally, we examined the discriminant validity of these SIP profiles by comparing them on theoretically relevant child characteristics (i.e., temperament, executive functioning, aggressive belief systems, punishment insensitivity, sensation seeking). We presented boys (N = 181; ages 7-13) with a virtual classroom where they could play games with virtual peers. They reported on their SIP in four virtual reality scenarios, designed to assess reactive and proactive aggressive SIP. Results revealed four distinct SIP profiles: a general reactive SIP profile, a situation-specific reactive SIP profile, a mixed reactive-proactive SIP profile, and a nonaggressive SIP profile. Planned contrasts revealed that boys with these SIP profiles differed in temperament, aggressive belief systems, and punishment insensitivity, but not in executive functioning and sensation seeking. Overall, findings suggest that boys differ in the exact SIP patterns underlying their aggressive behavior, providing inroads to tailor interventions to children?s individual needs.
