Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 67-8 (August 2026) . - p.1335-1347 Titre : Away from violence: A latent transition analysis on support for violent and non-violent radicalization among adolescents Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Diana MICONI, Auteur ; Michela ZAMBELLI, Auteur ; Aoudou Njingouo MOUNCHINGAM, Auteur ; Cécile ROUSSEAU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1335-1347 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Radicalization  violence  adolescence  activism  ideologies Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Support for violent and non-violent radicalization co-exists in some, but not all, adolescents. Yet, little is known about how adolescents transition towards or away from violent and/or non-violent radicalization over time. Within a socio-ecological framework, this study investigates how Canadian adolescents move from profiles that support violent radicalization to non-violent profiles and vice-versa and whether profile belonging is associated with social-, school- and family-related factors, psychological distress and specific ideologies. Methods High school students (N?=?574; Mage?=?15.1; SDage?=?0.76; 47.7% girls) completed an online survey in 2023 and 2024. A latent transition analysis on scores of support for violent and non-violent radicalization was conducted. Multinomial regression was used to explore the associations between profiles and variables of interest. Results Adolescents moved significantly across the six identified profiles over time. School unsafety was associated with an increased probability of being in more violent profiles, whereas depressive symptoms were lower in disengaged and violent profiles. Glorification of violence was higher in the more violent and less activist profile. Adolescents reporting more distress related to international conflicts and pro-environmental ideologies were more likely to belong to more activist profiles, including those supportive of violence. Conclusions Exploration of activism and violence as idioms of protest is common during adolescence and youth's attitudes in this regard are very dynamic, influenced by local and global grievances. Primary prevention efforts should accompany youth in their exploration in order to support non-violent avenues as responses to global conflicts, as well as daily injustices.

Social and individual grievances and attraction to extremist ideologies in individuals with autism: Insights from a clinical sample / Cécile ROUSSEAU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 105 (July 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 105 (July 2023) . - 102171 Titre : Social and individual grievances and attraction to extremist ideologies in individuals with autism: Insights from a clinical sample Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Cécile ROUSSEAU, Auteur ; Janique JOHNSON-LAFLEUR, Auteur ; Cindy NGOV, Auteur ; Diana MICONI, Auteur ; Sarah MITTERMAIER, Auteur ; Anna BONNEL, Auteur ; Christian SAVARD, Auteur ; Samuel VEISSIÈRE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102171 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD  Violent extremism  Risk  Clinical services  Social grievances  Intervention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Addressing the lack of empirical data on autistic individuals referred to clinical services because of concerns about violent extremism (VE), this paper sketches a portrait of autistic patients referred to a specialized clinical team dealing with VE in Montreal (Canada). Methods We draw on a mixed methods concurrent triangulation design to complement a quantitative file review with qualitative data from focus groups with clinicians. Results Results highlight the role of isolation, stigmatization, and social grievances as risk factors. They also emphasize the role of education, law enforcement, and justice-system professionals who frequently miss or misinterpret specific features of autism, leading to problematic risk assessments and interventions with further risks of stigmatization, trauma, and disengagement from services. Conclusion We suggest preliminary avenues to improve intervention for autistic individuals displaying interests for VE. Addressing social isolation and promoting environments adapted to neurodiversity could decrease despair and prevent attraction to extremist discourses. Better collaboration between the different sectors involved in prevention could promote better adapted, less stigmatizing interventions.
