Birth weight interacts with a functional variant of the oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) to predict executive functioning in children / Mark WADE in Development and Psychopathology, 30-1 (February 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 30-1 (February 2018) . - p.203-211 Titre : Birth weight interacts with a functional variant of the oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) to predict executive functioning in children Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Mark WADE, Auteur ; Heather PRIME, Auteur ; Thomas J. HOFFMANN, Auteur ; Louis A. SCHMIDT, Auteur ; Thomas G. O'CONNOR, Auteur ; Jennifer M. JENKINS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.203-211 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Genetic variation in the oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) is associated with several psychiatric conditions characterized by deficits in executive functioning (EF). A specific OXTR variant, rs2254298, has previously been associated with brain functioning in regions implicated in EF. Moreover, birth weight variation across the entire range is associated with individual differences in cortical structure and function that underlie EF. This is the first study to examine the main and interactive effect between rs2254298 and birth weight on EF in children. The sample consisted of 310 children from an ongoing longitudinal study. EF was measured at age 4.5 using observational tasks indexing working memory, cognitive flexibility, and inhibitory control. A family-based design that controlled for population admixture, stratification, and nongenomic confounds was employed. A significant genetic association between rs2254298 and EF was observed, with more copies of the major allele (G) associated with higher EF. There was also a significant interaction between rs2254298 and birth weight, such that more copies of the major allele in combination with higher birth weight predicted better EF. Findings suggest that OXTR may be associated with discrete neurocognitive abilities in childhood, and these effects may be modulated by intrauterine conditions related to fetal growth and development.

“It fostered a greater appreciation for my little corner of the world”: A feasibility study of a therapeutic photography intervention for the well-being of autistic youth / Marina CHARALAMPOPOULOU in Autism, 29-11 (November 2025)

This has resulted in a shortage of interventions addressing the promotion of positive emotional (hedonic) and psychological (eudaimonic) states. Therapeutic photography, which refers to self-initiated photo-taking paired with mindful reflections of the photographs, has the potential to provide an accessible and scalable approach to promote positive mental health for autistic people. This study employed a mixed-methods design to investigate the development and feasibility of a novel therapeutic photography intervention intended to promote hedonic and eudaimonic well-being among autistic youth. Forty-one autistic youth between 16 and 25 years of age were recruited. Findings indicated that therapeutic photography was a feasible intervention in terms of demand, implementation, acceptability, and practicality. There was also preliminary evidence suggesting that therapeutic photography may be a promising intervention for the promotion of different aspects of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being. Suggestions for future intervention adaptations to better address the needs of autistic youth are also featured.Lay Abstract Using Photography to Increase the Well-Being in Autistic YouthPast research has mostly focused on the challenges and negative mental health experiences of autistic young people, leading to a lack of strategies aimed at increasing positive emotions and experiences. To address this gap in the literature, we developed a therapeutic photography intervention that aimed to increase positive aspects of well-being for autistic youth. With the help of two autistic advisors, we recruited 41 autistic people, between the ages of 16 and 25 years, and asked them to take photos of positive experiences and write short reflections about their photos, for the duration of 4 weeks. We then asked participants about the benefits and challenges of the intervention. We also asked participants about any challenges they had in engaging with therapeutic photography and any changes and additional supports they would recommend for the intervention. Our results showed that autistic young people found the intervention to be interesting, doable, acceptable, and practical. We also found some evidence for the potential benefits of the intervention for the well-being of autistic youth. Participants had different ideas for adapting the design of the intervention to better meet the needs of autistic youth in the future.

The development of a measure of maternal cognitive sensitivity appropriate for use in primary care health settings / Heather PRIME in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 56-4 (April 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 56-4 (April 2015) . - p.488-495 Titre : The development of a measure of maternal cognitive sensitivity appropriate for use in primary care health settings Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Heather PRIME, Auteur ; Dillon BROWNE, Auteur ; Emis AKBARI, Auteur ; Mark WADE, Auteur ; Sheri MADIGAN, Auteur ; Jennifer M. JENKINS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.488-495 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Maternal responsivity  child cognitive development  parent–child interaction  primary healthcare  thin slice methodology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Parental responsivity is important to children's cognitive and socioemotional development, yet is under-represented in primary healthcare, because the measurement is specialized and time-consuming. Methods The current study developed a measure of maternal cognitive sensitivity (CS), which uses impressionistic ratings based on brief observations of parent–child interaction when children are 3 years old. Results Using data from a longitudinal cohort (Time 1, N = 501), the CS measure had good psychometric properties, was significantly related to a gold-standard maternal responsivity measure, and was predicted by the same socio-demographic factors predictive of other measures of parental responsivity. Finally, a well-established pathway from socioeconomic risk (child age 2 months) to compromised parenting (child age 3 years) to negative child outcome (child age 4.5 years) was demonstrated with CS as the mediator. Conclusion The maternal CS measure is brief, can be easily trained, and takes 8 min to administer and code, making it potentially useful in primary healthcare settings.
