Relations between recurrent trauma exposure and recent life stress and salivary cortisol among children / Katherine B. BEVANS in Development and Psychopathology, 20-1 (Winter 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 20-1 (Winter 2008) . - p.257-272 Titre : Relations between recurrent trauma exposure and recent life stress and salivary cortisol among children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Katherine B. BEVANS, Auteur ; Arleen CERBONE, Auteur ; Stacy OVERSTREET, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.257-272 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The present study evaluated the independent and cumulative effects of recent life stress, previous trauma, and recent trauma exposure on salivary cortisol levels among school-aged children. Sixty-eight children (mean age = 10.7 years) reported their exposure to life stressors and traumatic events in the 12 months preceding the study. Children and their caregivers reported frequency of exposure to trauma earlier in life. Exposure to life stress within the past 12 months was related to higher afternoon cortisol levels. Exposure to high levels of recent trauma in combination with frequent exposure to trauma earlier in life was related to both lower morning cortisol levels and higher afternoon cortisol levels. Results suggest that frequency, duration, and severity of exposure to stress and trauma played key roles in the prediction of basal cortisol levels in a community sample of urban youth.

Reliability of the participation and sensory environment questionnaire: Community scales / Beth PFEIFFER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 64 (August 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 64 (August 2019) . - p.84-93 Titre : Reliability of the participation and sensory environment questionnaire: Community scales Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Beth PFEIFFER, Auteur ; Aimee PILLER, Auteur ; Katherine B. BEVANS, Auteur ; Chengshi SHIU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.84-93 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Community  Participation  Environment  Autism spectrum disorder Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The Participation and Sensory Environment Questionnaire (P–SEQ): Community Scales is a parent report questionnaire designed to examine the impact of the sensory environment on participation within community activities for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods This study used a cross sectional quantitative design to establish the reliability and discriminate validity of the P–SEQ: Community Scales. Results This study established the initial reliability of the questionnaire including internal consistency of 0.98 test-retest reliability of 0.76. The P–SEQ: Community Scales demonstrated significant differences in item distribution for children without ASD as compared to those with ASD, an essential aspect of construct validity. Conclusions The results of this study indicate that the questionnaire is a reliable tool that can be used to assess the impact of sensory environment’s impact on participation in community activities. Identified barriers can be modified to support participation in community tasks.

Social cognitions, distress, and leadership self-efficacy: Associations with aggression for high-risk minority youth / Stephen S. LEFF in Development and Psychopathology, 26-3 (August 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 26-3 (August 2014) . - p.759-772 Titre : Social cognitions, distress, and leadership self-efficacy: Associations with aggression for high-risk minority youth Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Stephen S. LEFF, Auteur ; Courtney N. BAKER, Auteur ; Tracy E. WAASDORP, Auteur ; Nicole A. VAUGHN, Auteur ; Katherine B. BEVANS, Auteur ; Nicole A. THOMAS, Auteur ; Terry GUERRA, Auteur ; Alice J. HAUSMAN, Auteur ; W. John MONOPOLI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.759-772 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Urban ethnic minority youth are often exposed to high levels of aggression and violence. As such, many aggression intervention programs that have been designed with suburban nonethnic minority youth have been used or slightly adapted in order to try and meet the needs of high-risk urban youth. The current study contributes to the literature base by examining how well a range of social–cognitive, emotional distress and victimization, and prosocial factors are related to youth aggression in a sample of urban youth. This study utilized data gathered from 109 9- to 15-year-old youth (36.7% male; 84.4% African American) and their parents or caregivers. A series of hierarchical multiple regressions were fit predicting youth aggression from social–cognitive variables, victimization and distress, and prosocial variables, controlling for youth gender and age. Each set of variables explained a significant and unique amount of the variance in youth aggressive behavior. The full model including all predictors accounted for 41% of the variance in aggression. Models suggest that youth with stronger beliefs supportive of violence, youth who experience more overt victimization, and youth who experience greater distress in overtly aggressive situations are likely to be more aggressive. In contrast, youth with higher self-esteem and youth who endorse greater leadership efficacy are likely to be less aggressive. Contrary to hypotheses, hostile attributional bias and knowledge of social information processing, experience of relational victimization, distress in relationally aggressive situations, and community engagement were not associated with aggression. Our study is one of the first to address these important questions for low-income, predominately ethnic minority urban youth, and it has clear implications for adapting aggression prevention programs to be culturally sensitive for urban African American youth.
