Callous-unemotional traits, cognitive functioning, and externalizing problems in a propensity-matched sample from the ABCD study / Samantha PERLSTEIN ; Yael PAZ ; Jakob SEIDLITZ ; Adrian RAINE ; Samuel HAWES ; Amy BYRD ; Rebecca WALLER in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 66-3 (March 2025)

However, other work suggests that some aggression (e.g., relational, proactive) may rely on intact cognitive function, which could vary based on the presence of CU traits. Moreover, no prior research has adequately accounted for common risk factors shared by CU traits, cognitive difficulties, and externalizing problems, which confounds conclusions that can be drawn about their purported relationships. The current study addressed these knowledge gaps by leveraging rigorous propensity matching methods to isolate associations between CU traits and different dimensions of cognitive function and externalizing problems. Methods Associations between CU traits, cognitive functioning, and externalizing outcomes were tested within dimensional (n?=?11,868) and propensity-matched group-based (n?=?1,224) models using data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study?, with rigorous statistical control for shared sociodemographic risk factors. Cross-sectional outcomes were parent-reported symptoms of conduct disorder (CD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Longitudinal outcomes were child-reported overt and relational aggression. Results CU traits were uniquely related to more parent-reported CD, ODD, ADHD symptoms, as well as more child-reported aggressive behaviors. Effects of cognitive difficulties were domain specific and were not consistent across dimensional and propensity matched models. There was minimal evidence for divergent associations between CU traits and externalizing outcomes as a function of cognition (i.e., no moderation). Conclusions Rigorous control for sociodemographic factors within propensity-matched models establish CU traits as a robust and unique risk factor for externalizing psychopathology, over and above difficulties with cognitive functioning.

Genetic versus environmental influences on callous–unemotional traits in preadolescence: The role of parenting and parental psychopathology / Samantha PERLSTEIN in Development and Psychopathology, 34-5 (December 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 34-5 (December 2022) . - p.1686-1701 Titre : Genetic versus environmental influences on callous–unemotional traits in preadolescence: The role of parenting and parental psychopathology Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Samantha PERLSTEIN, Auteur ; Samuel HAWES, Auteur ; Alexandra Y. VAZQUEZ, Auteur ; Ileana PACHECO-COLON, Auteur ; Sarah LEHMAN, Auteur ; Justin PARENT, Auteur ; Amy BYRD, Auteur ; Rebecca WALLER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1686-1701 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : callous–unemotional traits  environment  etiology  genetics  parenting  twin study Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children with callous “unemotional (CU) traits are at risk for severe conduct problems. While CU traits are moderately heritable, parenting also predicts risk. However, few studies have investigated whether parenting factors (e.g., acceptance, conflict, parental psychopathology) moderate the etiology of CU traits, while accounting for gene “environment correlations. To address this knowledge gap, we used data from 772 twin pairs from the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development Study to test bivariate models that explored overlapping etiological influences on CU traits and child reports of their parenting environment. We also used gene-by-environment interaction models to test whether parenting moderated genetic versus environmental influences. There were no overlapping etiological influences on CU traits and parental acceptance, but modest genetic and non-shared environmental overlap between CU traits and family conflict. Parental acceptance and psychopathology moderated non-shared environmental influences, with stronger non-shared environmental influences on CU traits among children who experienced lower parental acceptance and greater parental psychopathology. Family conflict only moderated environmental influences when models did not covary for conduct problems. Parental acceptance and parental psychopathology may be specific environmental protective and risk factors for CU traits, whereas family conflict may represent a general environmental risk factor for both CU traits and conduct problems.
