HIPWELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.415-422 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Validity  psychopathology  factor analysis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The best-fitting model of the structure of common psychopathology often includes a general factor on which all dimensions of psychopathology load. Such a general factor would be important if it reflects etiologies and mechanisms shared by all dimensions of psychopathology. Nonetheless, a viable alternative explanation is that the general factor is partly or wholly a result of common method variance or other systematic measurement biases. Methods To test this alternative explanation, we extracted general, externalizing, and internalizing factor scores using mother-reported symptoms across 5–11 years of age in confirmatory factor analyses of data from a representative longitudinal study of 2,450 girls. Independent associations between the three psychopathology factor scores and teacher-reported criterion variables were estimated in multiple regression, controlling intelligence, and demographic covariates. Results The model including the general factor fit significantly better than a correlated two-factor (internalizing/externalizing) model. The general factor was robustly and independently associated with all measures of teacher-reported school functioning concurrently during childhood and prospectively during adolescence. Conclusions These findings weaken the hypothesis that the general factor of psychopathology in childhood is solely a measurement artifact and support further research on the substantive meaning of the general factor.

Maternal age at childbirth and offspring disruptive behaviors: testing the causal hypothesis / Brian M. D'ONOFRIO in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 50-8 (August 2009)

D'ONOFRIO, Auteur ; Benjamin B. LAHEY, Auteur ; Carol A. VAN HULLE, Auteur ; Irwin D. WALDMAN, Auteur ; Joseph Lee RODGERS, Auteur ; Paul J. RATHOUZ, Auteur ; Jackson A. GOODNIGHT, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.1018-1028 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Disruptive-behaviors conduct-problems maternal-age-at-childbearing sibling-comparisons quasi-experiments Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Recent studies suggest that the association between maternal age at childbearing (MAC) and children's disruptive behaviors is the result of family factors that are confounded with both variables, rather than a casual effect of environmental factors specifically related to MAC. These studies, however, relied on restricted samples and did not use the strongest approach to test causal influences. Methods: Using data on 9,171 4–9-year-old and 6,592 10–13-year-old offspring of women from a nationally representative sample of US households, we conducted sibling-comparison analyses. The analyses ruled out all genetic factors that could confound the association, as well as all environmental confounds that differ between unrelated nuclear families, providing a strong test of the causal hypothesis that the environments of children born at different maternal ages influence mother- and self-reported disruptive behaviors. Results: When these genetic and environmental confounds were ruled out as alternative explanations, the relation between environments within nuclear families specifically associated with MAC and disruptive behaviors was robust, with the association being stronger for second- and third-born children. Conclusions: Environmental factors specifically associated with early MAC within nuclear families account for increased risk of offspring disruptive behaviors, especially in later-born children.

Psychometrics of a Self-Report Version of the Child and Adolescent Dispositions Scale / Benjamin B. LAHEY in Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology, 39-3 (May-June 2010)

LAHEY, Auteur ; Irwin D. WALDMAN, Auteur ; Paul J. RATHOUZ, Auteur ; Brooks APPLEGATE, Auteur ; Jennifer L. TACKETT, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.351-361 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Lahey and Waldman (2003, 2005) proposed a model in which three dispositions—sympathetic response to others; negative emotional response to threat, frustration, and loss; and positive response to novelty and risk—transact with the environment to influence risk for conduct disorder (CD). To test this model, the Child and Adolescent Dispositions Scale (CADS) was developed to measure these dispositions using parent ratings of the child. Here we report psychometric evaluations of a parallel youth self-report version (CADS-Y). Exploratory factor analysis of CADS-Y items among 832 9- to 17-year-olds yielded a 3-factor structure that was consistent with the model and invariant across sex and informants. In 1,582 pairs of 9- to 17-year-old twins, confirmatory factor analyses supported the CADS-Y 3-factor model. Each CADS-Y dimension was associated with CD and related personality dimensions as predicted.

Smoking during pregnancy and offspring externalizing problems: An exploration of genetic and environmental confounds / Brian M. D'ONOFRIO in Development and Psychopathology, 20-1 (Winter 2008)

RATHOUZ, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.139-164 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Previous studies have documented that smoking during pregnancy (SDP) is associated with offspring externalizing problems, even when measured covariates were used to control for possible confounds. However, the association may be because of nonmeasured environmental and genetic factors that increase risk for offspring externalizing problems. The current project used the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and their children, ages 4–10 years, to explore the relations between SDP and offspring conduct problems (CPs), oppositional defiant problems (ODPs), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity problems (ADHPs) using methodological and statistical controls for confounds. When offspring were compared to their own siblings who differed in their exposure to prenatal nicotine, there was no effect of SDP on offspring CP and ODP. This suggests that SDP does not have a causal effect on offspring CP and ODP. There was a small association between SDP and ADHP, consistent with a causal effect of SDP, but the magnitude of the association was greatly reduced by methodological and statistical controls. Genetically informed analyses suggest that unmeasured environmental variables influencing both SDP and offspring externalizing behaviors account for the previously observed associations. That is, the current analyses imply that important unidentified environmental factors account for the association between SDP and offspring externalizing problems, not teratogenic effects of SDP.
