Disinhibited social engagement in postinstitutionalized children: Differentiating normal from atypical behavior / Jamie M. LAWLER in Development and Psychopathology, 26-2 (May 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 26-2 (May 2014) . - p.451-464 Titre : Disinhibited social engagement in postinstitutionalized children: Differentiating normal from atypical behavior Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jamie M. LAWLER, Auteur ; Camelia E. HOSTINAR, Auteur ; Shanna B. MLINER, Auteur ; Megan R. GUNNAR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.451-464 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The most commonly reported socially aberrant behavior in postinstitutionalized (PI) children is disinhibited social engagement (DSE; also known as indiscriminate friendliness). There is no gold standard for measurement of this phenomenon nor agreement on how to differentiate it from normative behavior. We adopted a developmental psychopathology approach (Cicchetti, 1984) to study this phenomenon by comparing it to normative social development and by studying its patterns over time in 50 newly adopted PI children (16–36 months at adoption) compared with 41 children adopted early from foster care overseas and 47 nonadopted (NA) controls. Using coded behavioral observations of the child's interaction with an unfamiliar adult, atypical behaviors were differentiated from normative behaviors. Principal components analysis identified two dimensions of social disinhibition. The nonphysical social dimension (e.g., initiations, proximity) showed wide variation in NA children and is therefore considered a typical form of sociability. Displays of physical contact and intimacy were rare in NA children, suggesting that they represent an atypical pattern of behavior. Both adopted groups demonstrated more physical DSE behavior than NA children. There were no group differences on the nonphysical factor, and it increased over time in all groups. Implications for understanding the etiology of DSE and future directions are discussed.

The emergence of attachment following early social deprivation / Elizabeth A. CARLSON in Development and Psychopathology, 26-2 (May 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 26-2 (May 2014) . - p.479-489 Titre : The emergence of attachment following early social deprivation Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Elizabeth A. CARLSON, Auteur ; Camelia E. HOSTINAR, Auteur ; Shanna B. MLINER, Auteur ; Megan R. GUNNAR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.479-489 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined the formation and quality of attachment of 65 postinstitutionalized (PI) toddlers with their parents at 1–3 and 7–9 months postadoption compared to 52 nonadopted (NA) children. The formation of attachment relationships of PI children with adoptive parents occurred relatively quickly. Children exposed to greater preadoption adversity took longer to form an attachment to their adoptive parents, although by 7–9 months postadoption, nearly all (90%) of the children achieved the highest level on an attachment formation rating scale. PI children did not differ from NA children in attachment security, based either on the Attachment Q-Sort or Strange Situation categorical scoring. However, the PI children were more likely to be disorganized in their attachment patterns. Preadoption adversity was related to lower Q-sort security scores especially at the initial assessment 1–3 months postadoption. The results indicated that attachment formation and attachment quality in PI children are differentiable constructs with different precursors.
