Affective empathy, cognitive empathy and social attention in children at high risk of criminal behaviour / Lisette VAN ZONNEVELD in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-8 (August 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 58-8 (August 2017) . - p.913-921 Titre : Affective empathy, cognitive empathy and social attention in children at high risk of criminal behaviour Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lisette VAN ZONNEVELD, Auteur ; Evelien PLATJE, Auteur ; Leo DE SONNEVILLE, Auteur ; Stephanie VAN GOOZEN, Auteur ; Hanna SWAAB, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.913-921 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Criminality  antisocial behaviour  empathy  eye gaze  psychophysiology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Empathy deficits are hypothesized to underlie impairments in social interaction exhibited by those who engage in antisocial behaviour. Social attention is an essential precursor to empathy; however, no studies have yet examined social attention in relation to cognitive and affective empathy in those exhibiting antisocial behaviour. Methods Participants were 8- to 12-year-old children at high risk of developing criminal behaviour (N = 114, 80.7% boys) and typically developing controls (N = 43, 72.1% boys). The high-risk children were recruited through an ongoing early identification and intervention project of the city of Amsterdam, focusing on the underage siblings or children of delinquents and those failing primary school. Video clips with neutral and emotional content (fear, happiness and pain) were shown, while heart rate (HR), skin conductance level (SCL) and skin conductance responses (SCRs) were recorded to measure affective empathy. Answers to questions about emotions in the clips were coded to measure cognitive empathy. Eye-tracking was used to evaluate visual scanning patterns towards social relevant cues (eyes and face) in the clips. Results The high-risk group did not differ from the control group in social attention and cognitive empathy, but showed reduced HR to pain and fear, and reduced SCL and SCRs to pain. Conclusions Children at high risk of developing criminal behaviour show impaired affective empathy but unimpaired social attention and cognitive empathy. The implications for early identification and intervention studies with antisocial children are discussed.

Assessing pragmatic language difficulties using the Revised Children's Communication Checklist-2. Exploratory structural equation modeling and associations with restricted and repetitive behaviors / Jennifer KEATING in Autism Research, 17-3 (March 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 17-3 (March 2024) . - p.584-595 Titre : Assessing pragmatic language difficulties using the Revised Children's Communication Checklist-2. Exploratory structural equation modeling and associations with restricted and repetitive behaviors Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jennifer KEATING, Auteur ; Mirko ULJAREVIĆ, Auteur ; Stephanie H.M. VAN GOOZEN, Auteur ; Kirsten ABBOT-SMITH, Auteur ; Dale F. HAY, Auteur ; Susan R. LEEKAM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.584-595 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract In this paper, we investigated the psychometric properties of the Child Communication Checklist-Revised (CCC-R) for the first time with an English-speaking sample. We used a confirmatory application of exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) to re-evaluate the CCC-R's psychometric properties. We found strong support for its use as an assessment for pragmatic and structural language. Our second main aim was to explore associations between pragmatic and structural language and restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs), two hallmark characteristics of autism. We used the CCC-R and Repetitive Behavior Questionnaire (RBQ-2) to investigate these associations in a diverse non-clinical sample of children, taking a transdiagnostic approach. We intentionally excluded autism and other neurodevelopmental diagnoses to test, (1) the CCC-R in a broad sample and (2) the association between pragmatic language and RRB in children not already selected for that association. The sample comprised two groups of children, one was community sampled (n = 123) and the other (n = 143) included children with non-specific behavioral, emotional and/or cognitive difficulties referred to an assessment unit by schools. We found clear associations between pragmatic language difficulties and RRBs in both groups. Regression analysis showed that pragmatic language was the only significant contributor to RRBs even after Grammatical-Semantic score, age, sex, and socioeconomic status were controlled. The pattern was the same for both recruitment groups. However, the effects were stronger for the school-referred group which also had more pragmatic difficulties, grammatical-semantic difficulties and RRBs. A robust link between pragmatic language and RRBs, established in autism, has continuity across the broader non-clinical population.

Can facial emotion recognition be rapidly improved in children with disruptive behavior? A targeted and preventative early intervention study / Laura M. HUNNIKIN in Development and Psychopathology, 34-1 (February 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 34-1 (February 2022) . - p.85-93 Titre : Can facial emotion recognition be rapidly improved in children with disruptive behavior?

VAN GOOZEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.85-93 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : disruptive behavior  early intervention  emotion recognition  eye gaze  peer problems Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : An impairment in recognizing distress is implicated in the development and severity of antisocial behavior. It has been hypothesized that a lack of attention to the eyes plays a role, but supporting evidence is limited. We developed a computerized training to improve emotion recognition in children and examined the role of eye gaze before and after training. Children referred into an intervention program to prevent antisocial outcomes completed an emotion recognition task with concurrent eye tracking. Those with emotion recognition impairments (n = 54, mean age: 8.72 years, 78% male) completed the training, while others (n = 38, mean age: 8.95 years, 84% male) continued with their usual interventions. Emotion recognition and eye gaze were reassessed in all children 8 weeks later. Impaired negative emotion recognition was significantly related to severity of behavioral problems at pretest. Children who completed the training significantly improved in emotion recognition; eye gaze did not contribute to impairment or improvement in emotion recognition. This study confirms the role of emotion recognition in severity of disruptive behavior and shows that a targeted intervention can quickly improve emotion impairments. The training works by improving children's ability to appraise emotional stimuli rather than by influencing their visual attention.

Children's subjective emotional reactivity to affective pictures: gender differences and their antisocial correlates in an unselected sample of 7–11-year-olds / Carla SHARP in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 47-2 (February 2006)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 47-2 (February 2006) . - p.143-150 Titre : Children's subjective emotional reactivity to affective pictures: gender differences and their antisocial correlates in an unselected sample of 7–11-year-olds Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Carla SHARP, Auteur ; Stephanie H.M. VAN GOOZEN, Auteur Année de publication : 2006 Article en page(s) : p.143-150 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : IAPS picture-perception-methodology arousal valence antisocial-behaviour Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Differential responses in terms of gender and antisocial behaviour in emotional reactivity to affective pictures using the International Affective Picture System (IAPS) have been demonstrated in adult and adolescent samples. Moreover, a quadratic relationship between the arousal (intensity) and valence (degree of unpleasantness) has been suggested. The picture perception methodology has rarely been applied to middle school-aged children. We examined the subjective ratings of emotional reactivity in children for: i) the relationship between arousal and valence, ii) gender differences, and iii) its association with measures of antisocial behaviour. Method: Twenty-seven IAPS pictures were selected to cover a wide range of affective content and were individually administered to a non-referred community sample of 659 7–11-year-old children using a paper-and-pencil version. Concurrent symptoms of conduct disorder, oppositional defiance and psychopathy were collected from multiple sources (teacher-, parent- and self-report). Results: A quadratic relationship between arousal and valence, similar to that previously reported in adults, was demonstrated. A gender difference was found for valence ratings, with girls rating aversive pictures more unpleasant than boys. No gender differences for arousal ratings were found. A significant difference was found between groups scoring above and below cut-off scores on measures of antisocial behaviour. Children above cut-off reported lower arousal to unpleasant pictures, but higher arousal to pleasant pictures. Conclusions: We confirmed that a paper-and-pencil version of the IAPS for evaluating emotion response to affectively valent and arousing stimuli can be used in school settings and that comparable gender differences in emotional reactivity can be found in children. The differential emotional reactivity of children above cut-off on measures of antisocial behaviour suggested these symptoms to be associated with a combination of increased reward and decreased punishment sensitivity.

Concurrent and prospective effects of psychopathic traits on affective and cognitive empathy in a community sample of late adolescents / Bart H.J. BROUNS in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 54-9 (September 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 54-9 (September 2013) . - p.969-976 Titre : Concurrent and prospective effects of psychopathic traits on affective and cognitive empathy in a community sample of late adolescents Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Bart H.J.

MEEUS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.969-976 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Psychopathic traits  emotional concern  perspective taking  empathy development Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background A deficit in affective rather than cognitive empathy is thought to be central to psychopathic traits. However, empirical evidence for empathy deficits in adolescents with psychopathic traits is limited. We investigated the concurrent and prospective effects of psychopathic traits on affective and cognitive trait empathy in late adolescence. Methods A community sample of 107 males and 126 females who were approximately 16-year olds at Time 1 participated in four annual waves. Sex-specific classes of adolescents' psychopathic traits were created using Latent Class Analyses. Subsequently, we investigated class differences in level and development of empathy. Results For both sexes, Latent Class Analyses produced two classes: one class with low and one with moderate levels of psychopathic traits. Consistent with our hypothesis, for both sexes, adolescents with moderate levels of psychopathic traits reported lower mean levels of affective empathy than adolescents with low levels of psychopathic traits. In addition, female adolescents with moderate psychopathic traits reported lower mean levels of cognitive empathy. Male adolescents showed a trend in this direction. No differences between classes were found in development of empathy, which increased over years. Conclusions This is the first study to show that male and female adolescents with higher levels of psychopathic traits have lower levels of affective empathy not only concurrently but also prospectively over a 3-year period. Females additionally showed a similar pattern on cognitive empathy. In this community sample, developmental results suggest that adolescents with higher levels of psychopathic traits have relative rather than absolute empathy deficits.
