Alexithymia and Autistic Traits as Contributing Factors to Empathy Difficulties in Preadolescent Children / Lydia G. SPEYER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-2 (February 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 52-2 (February 2022) . - p.823-834 Titre : Alexithymia and Autistic Traits as Contributing Factors to Empathy Difficulties in Preadolescent Children Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lydia G.

Empathy, alexithymia and autistic traits have yet to be examined concurrently in children. Therefore, we examined the co-occurrence of empathy difficulties and alexithymia in 59 typically developing and 5 autistic children. Multiple measures (self-report, parent-report and a behavioural task) were used to evaluate empathy and to assess differences in self- and parent-reports using multiple regressions. Alexithymia was found to predict empathy significantly better than autistic traits, providing support for the alexithymia hypothesis. From a therapeutic perspective, results suggest autistic children who screen positive for elevated alexithymic traits may benefit from additional support targeting emotion identification.

Does emotion dysregulation mediate the association between ADHD symptoms and internalizing problems? A longitudinal within-person analysis in a large population-representative study / Evelyn Mary-Ann ANTONY in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 63-12 (December 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 63-12 (December 2022) . - p.1583-1590 Titre : Does emotion dysregulation mediate the association between ADHD symptoms and internalizing problems? A longitudinal within-person analysis in a large population-representative study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Evelyn Mary-Ann ANTONY, Auteur ; Milla PIHLAJAMAKI, Auteur ; Lydia Gabriela SPEYER, Auteur ; Aja Louise MURRAY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1583-1590 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Child  Male  Humans  Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity/complications  Cohort Studies  Anxiety/epidemiology  Anxiety Disorders  Interpersonal Relations  Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder  autoregressive latent trajectory model with structured residuals  child development  emotion dysregulation  internalizing problems Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Previous research has suggested that children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms commonly show emotion dysregulation difficulties. These difficulties may partly explain the strong tendency for internalizing problems such as anxiety and depression to co-occur with ADHD symptoms. However, no study has yet provided a longitudinal analysis of the within-person links between ADHD symptoms, emotion dysregulation, and internalizing problems necessary to examine this hypothesis from a developmental perspective. METHODS: We used data from the age 3, 5, and 7 waves of the large UK population-representative Millennium Cohort Study (n=9,619, 4,885 males) and fit gender-stratified autoregressive latent trajectory models with structured residuals (ALT-SR) to disaggregate within- and between-person relations between ADHD symptom, emotion dysregulation, and internalizing problem symptoms. RESULTS: We found that emotion dysregulation significantly mediated the longitudinal within-person association between ADHD symptoms and internalizing problems. CONCLUSIONS: Results underline the promise of targeting emotion dysregulation as a means of preventing internalizing problems co-occurring with ADHD symptoms.

Polygenic risks for joint developmental trajectories of internalizing and externalizing problems: findings from the ALSPAC cohort / Lydia Gabriela SPEYER in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 63-8 (August 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 63-8 (August 2022) . - p.948-956 Titre : Polygenic risks for joint developmental trajectories of internalizing and externalizing problems: findings from the ALSPAC cohort Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lydia Gabriela SPEYER, Auteur ; Samuel NEAVES, Auteur ; Hildigunnur Anna HALL, Auteur ; Gibran HEMANI, Auteur ; Michael V. LOMBARDO, Auteur ; Aja Louise MURRAY, Auteur ; Bonnie AUYEUNG, Auteur ; Michelle LUCIANO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.948-956 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent  Child  Child, Preschool  Female  Humans  Longitudinal Studies  Male  Mothers  Multifactorial Inheritance  Pregnancy  Risk Factors  Smoking  Alspac  Joint mental health trajectories  externalizing  internalizing  polygenic risk Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Joint developmental trajectories of internalizing and externalizing problems show considerable heterogeneity; however, this can be parsed into a small number of meaningful subgroups. Doing so offered insights into risk factors that lead to different patterns of internalizing/externalizing trajectories. However, despite both domains of problems showing strong heritability, no study has yet considered genetic risks as predictors of joint internalizing/externalizing problem trajectories. METHODS: Using parallel process latent class growth analysis, we estimated joint developmental trajectories of internalizing and externalizing difficulties assessed across ages 4 to 16 using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Multinomial logistic regression was used to evaluate a range of demographic, perinatal, maternal mental health, and child and maternal polygenic predictors of group membership. Participants included 11,049 children taking part in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. Polygenic data were available for 7,127 children and 6,836 mothers. RESULTS: A 5-class model was judged optimal: Unaffected, Moderate Externalizing Symptoms, High Externalizing Symptoms, Moderate Internalizing and Externalizing Symptoms and High Internalizing and Externalizing Symptoms. Male sex, lower maternal age, maternal mental health problems, maternal smoking during pregnancy, higher child polygenic risk scores for ADHD and lower polygenic scores for IQ distinguished affected classes from the unaffected class. CONCLUSIONS: While affected classes could be relatively well separated from the unaffected class, phenotypic and polygenic predictors were limited in their ability to distinguish between different affected classes. Results thus add to existing evidence that internalizing and externalizing problems have mostly shared risk factors.

A symptom level perspective on reactive and proactive aggressive behaviours and ADHD symptoms in childhood / Lydia Gabriela SPEYER in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 63-9 (September 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 63-9 (September 2022) . - p.1017-1026 Titre : A symptom level perspective on reactive and proactive aggressive behaviours and ADHD symptoms in childhood Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lydia Gabriela SPEYER, Auteur ; Manuel EISNER, Auteur ; Denis RIBEAUD, Auteur ; Michelle LUCIANO, Auteur ; Bonnie AUYEUNG, Auteur ; Aja Louise MURRAY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1017-1026 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Aggression  Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity/diagnosis/epidemiology  Child  Cohort Studies  Cross-Sectional Studies  Humans  Impulsive Behavior  Adhd  longitudinal network modelling  proactive aggression  reactive aggression  z-proso Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : OBJECTIVE: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent childhood disorders, affecting around 3.4% of children worldwide. A common and impairing correlate of ADHD is aggressive behaviour. ADHD symptoms and aggression are both heterogeneous and it has been speculated that certain symptoms of ADHD might be more important in aggressive behaviours of different types than others. This study uses a symptom-level analysis to investigate the concurrent and temporal links between ADHD symptoms and aggressive behaviours. METHODS: Using Gaussian Graphical Models and Graphical Vector Autoregression Models, longitudinal and cross-sectional networks of ADHD symptoms and aggressive behaviours, measured using parent-reported Social Behaviour Questionnaires, were estimated. Participants included 1,246 children taking part in the longitudinal Swiss z-proso cohort study at ages 7, 9 and 11. RESULTS: The longitudinal network highlighted that ADHD symptoms and aggressive behaviours share a multitude of reciprocal temporal relations, with inattentive ADHD symptoms preceding both reactive and proactive aggression. Cross-sectional networks suggested that hyperactive/impulsive symptoms were predominantly connected to reactive aggressive behaviours but also to a form of proactive aggression, namely dominating other children. CONCLUSION: Findings provide preliminary evidence which specific symptoms are the most promising targets for reducing aggressive behaviours in children with ADHD. They also highlight the potential importance of targeting feedback loops resulting from aggressive behaviours. Future research is needed to better understand the mechanisms through which ADHD and aggressive behaviours become linked.

The relationship between perceived income inequality, adverse mental health and interpersonal difficulties in UK adolescents / Blanca PIERA PI-SUNYER in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 64-3 (March 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 64-3 (March 2023) . - p.417-425 Titre : The relationship between perceived income inequality, adverse mental health and interpersonal difficulties in UK adolescents Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Blanca PIERA PI-SUNYER, Auteur ; Jack L. ANDREWS, Auteur ; Amy ORBEN, Auteur ; Lydia G. SPEYER, Auteur ; Sarah-Jayne BLAKEMORE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.417-425 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Adolescence is a period of life when young people increasingly define themselves through peer comparison and are vulnerable to developing mental health problems. In the current study, we investigated whether the subjective experience of economic disadvantage among friends is associated with social difficulties and poorer mental health in early adolescence. Methods We used latent change score modelling (LCSM) on data from the UK Millennium Cohort Study, collected at ages 11 and 14 (N = 12,995). Each LCSM modelled the mean of an outcome related to mental health and interpersonal difficulties at age 11 (including self-esteem, well-being, emotional difficulties, peer problems, bullying, victimisation and externalising difficulties), the change of the outcome from ages 11 to 14 and its predictors, including perceived income inequality among friends (i.e. perceiving oneself as belonging to a poorer family than the families of one's friends). Results Perceived income inequality predicted adverse mental health and a range of interpersonal difficulties during adolescence, even when controlling for objective family income. Follow-up analyses highlighted that, at 11 years, young people who perceived themselves as belonging to poorer families than their friends reported worse well-being, self-esteem, internalising problems, externalising problems and victimisation at the same age (relative to those who perceived themselves as richer than or equal to their friends, or who did not know). Longitudinal analyses suggested that victimisation decreased from ages 11 to 14 to a greater extent for adolescents who perceived themselves as poorer than other adolescents. Conclusions The salience of economic inequalities in proximal social environments (e.g. among friends) in early adolescence could further amplify the negative effects of economic disadvantage on mental health and behavioural difficulties during this period.
