Titre : Alexithymia in individuals maltreated as children and adolescents: a meta-analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anika N. KHAN, Auteur ; Sara R. JAFFEE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.963-972 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent Adult Affective Symptoms/epidemiology Child Child Abuse/psychology Emotions Female Humans Mental Disorders Psychopathology Childhood maltreatment abuse alexithymia meta-analysis neglect Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Children who are maltreated show deficits in emotion recognition, expression, and understanding. The goal of the current meta-analysis was to determine the degree to which maltreatment is associated with deficits in the ability to recognize one's own emotions - a phenomenon known as alexithymia. Alexithymia may be a mechanism explaining the association between childhood maltreatment and various psychological disorders. METHODS: This meta-analytic review (88 studies, n=43,076) examined the association between the experience of childhood maltreatment and alexithymia, mainly in adulthood. Additional meta-analyses were run to examine if the strength of the association between maltreatment as a child and alexithymia varied as a function of the type of maltreatment individuals reported and other moderators. RESULTS: We found significant small effect sizes for all models, indicating higher levels of maltreatment in childhood or adolescence were associated with higher levels of alexithymia. Alexithymia was more strongly associated with forms of neglect than with physical or sexual abuse. The effect sizes also increased as the percentages of females in the sample increased. CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that researchers should examine whether alexithymia is a transdiagnostic mechanism in the association between childhood maltreatment and psychopathology and whether targeting alexithymia in treatment could reduce a wide range of symptoms.

Titre : Annual Research Review: Cash transfer programs and young people's mental health - a review of studies in the United States Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sara R. JAFFEE, Auteur ; George LIN, Auteur ; Matthew Z. FOWLE, Auteur ; Vincent J. REINA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.498-515 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Intervention mental health poverty social policy Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Worldwide, more than one in 10 children or adolescents is diagnosed with a mental disorder. Cash transfer programs, which aim to reduce poverty and improve life outcomes by providing direct cash assistance to families and incentivizing or enabling spending on education, health service use, dietary diversity and savings, have been shown to improve the mental health and well-being of young people in low- and middle-income countries. The goal of this review is to describe cash transfer programs in the United States, to describe potential mechanisms by which cash transfer programs could improve child and adolescent mental health and to summarize any evidence of the impact of cash transfer programs. We conclude that much of the evidence on the relationship between cash transfer programs and child and adolescent mental health in the United States is based on a relatively small set of studies. Although most of these studies find that cash transfer programs are associated with reductions in emotional or behavioural health problems, effect sizes are small. For potential mechanisms of cash transfer effects, the strongest evidence is that cash transfer programs increase child-related expenditures and savings and increase time spent with children. Evidence is mixed on whether cash transfer programs improve maternal mental health, parental disciplinary practices or children's exposure to violence.

Titre : Chaotic homes and school achievement: a twin study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ken B. HANSCOMBE, Auteur ; Claire Margaret Alison HAWORTH, Auteur ; Oliver S.P. DAVIS, Auteur ; Sara R. JAFFEE, Auteur ; Robert PLOMIN, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.1212-1220 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Gene–environment correlation household chaos environmental confusion home environment school achievement twin studies behavioural genetics Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Chaotic homes predict poor school performance. Given that it is known that genes affect both children’s experience of household chaos and their school achievement, to what extent is the relationship between high levels of noise and environmental confusion in the home, and children’s school performance, mediated by heritable child effects? This is the first study to explore the genetic and environmental pathways between household chaos and academic performance.
Method: Children’s perceptions of family chaos at ages 9 and 12 and their school performance at age 12 were assessed in more than 2,300 twin pairs. The use of child-specific measures in a multivariate genetic analysis made it possible to investigate the genetic and environmental origins of the covariation between children’s experience of chaos in the home and their school achievement.
Results: Children’s experience of family chaos and their school achievement were significantly correlated in the expected negative direction (r = −.26). As expected, shared environmental factors explained a large proportion (63%) of the association. However, genetic factors accounted for a significant proportion (37%) of the association between children’s experience of household chaos and their school performance.
Conclusions: The association between chaotic homes and poor performance in school, previously assumed to be entirely environmental in origin, is in fact partly genetic. How children’s home environment affects their academic achievement is not simply in the direction environment → child → outcome. Instead, genetic factors that influence children’s experience of the disordered home environment also affect how well they do at school. The relationship between the child, their environment and their performance at school is complex: both genetic and environmental factors play a role.En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2011.02421.x Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=145

These findings defy conventional wisdom specifying that ADHD is, by definition, a disorder that emerges in childhood. We discuss possible explanations for the late-onset of ADHD, including the removal in adolescence or young adulthood of features of a young person's environment that played a buffering role against the emergence of symptoms and heterotypic continuity in a general liability to psychopathology that is present from childhood.

Roughly 8%-10% of children engage in the more severe childhood-onset form of CP, while another 25% initiate clinically-significant levels of CP during adolescence. As deftly observed in Rivenbark et al.
