Titre : Distal-to-proximal etiologically relevant variables associated with the general (p) and specific factors of psychopathology Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Melissa VOS, Auteur ; Odilia M.

HARTMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1340-1354 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Psychopathology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The general factor of psychopathology, often denoted as p, captures the common variance among a broad range of psychiatric symptoms. Specific factors are co-modeled based on subsets of closely related symptoms. This paper investigated the extent to which wide-ranging genetic, personal, and environmental etiologically relevant variables are associated with p and specific psychopathology factors. Methods Using data from four waves (ages 11?19) of TRAILS, we modeled a bifactor model of p and four specific factors [internalizing, externalizing, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)]. Next, we examined the associations of 19 etiologically relevant variables with these psychology factors using path models that organized the variables according to the distal-to-proximal risk principle. Results Collectively, the etiologically relevant factors, including temperament traits, accounted for 55% of p's variance, 46% in ADHD, 35% in externalizing, 19% in internalizing, and 7% in ASD. The low 7% is due to insufficient unique variance in ASD indicators that load more strongly on p. Excluding temperament, variables accounted for 29% variance in p, 9% ADHD, 14% EXT, 7% INT, and 4% ASD. Most etiologically relevant factors were generic, predicting p. In addition, we identified effects on specific factors in addition to effects on p (e.g., parental SES, executive functioning); only effects on specific factors (e.g., parental rejection); opposite effects on different factors [e.g., diurnal cortisol (high INT but low EXT, p); developmental delay (high ASD and p but low EXT)]. Frustration, family functioning, parental psychopathology, executive functioning, and fearfulness had strong effects on p. Conclusions (1) Strong generic effects on p suggest that etiologically relevant factors and psychopathology tend to cluster in persons. (2) While many factors predict p, additional as well as opposite effects on specific factors indicate the relevance of specific psychopathology factors in understanding mental disorder. (3) High frustration, neurodevelopmental problems, and a disadvantaged family environment primarily characterize p.

Titre : How a general vulnerability for psychopathology during adolescence manifests in young adults' daily lives Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Johanna T. W. WIGMAN, Auteur ; Melissa VOS, Auteur ; Marieke J. SCHREUDER, Auteur ; Marieke WICHERS, Auteur ; Catharina A. HARTMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.998-1009 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background There is widespread interest in the general factor of psychopathology or 'p factor', which has been proposed to reflect vulnerability to psychopathology. We examined to what extent this 'vulnerability' is associated with dysregulations in affect and behavior that occur in daily life. As such we hoped to provide an account of how this vulnerability may be maintained. Methods We used data from the Tracking Adolescents' Individual Lives Survey (TRAILS; N = 2,772) collected at ages 11, 14, 16, 19, and 22?years to fit a bifactor model with a general psychopathology factor, alongside internalizing, externalizing (EXT), attention-deficit/hyperactivity, and autism spectrum problem domains. Following the fifth TRAILS assessment, a subsample of participants (n = 133, age = 22.6, 43% women) with heightened risk for psychopathology completed a 6-month daily diary protocol with one assessment each day. Using a dynamic structural equation approach, we examined to what extent mean intensity, variability, inertia, and within-day co-occurrence of EXT, anxious-tense, and depressed-withdrawn affects and behaviors were associated with general factor scores. Results Unexpectedly, higher general factor scores were not associated with higher mean intensity of any of the three types of daily negative affects and behaviors, but were associated with higher variability and less carryover (inertia) EXT affects and behaviors. Conclusions We showed that individual differences in general factor scores do not manifest as differences in average levels of daily affects and behaviors, but instead were related to a type of EXT reactivity to the environment. Future research is necessary to investigate whether reactive irritable moods may be involved in or signal vulnerability sustained psychopathology.

Titre : Sex differences in the course of autistic and co-occurring psychopathological symptoms in adolescents with and without autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ernst HORWITZ, Auteur ; Melissa VOS, Auteur ; Annelies DE BILDT, Auteur ; Kirstin GREAVES-LORD, Auteur ; Nanda ROMMELSE, Auteur ; Robert SCHOEVERS, Auteur ; Catharina HARTMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1716-1729 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescents;autism spectrum disorders;course;psychiatric comorbidity;sex differences Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is an ongoing debate as to whether autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is expressed differently in women than men. It is unclear whether differences found are specific to autism or merely reflecting normative development. In this study, we compared sex differences in developmental trajectories of autistic and co-occurring psychopathological symptoms in adolescents with milder forms of autism to those in a normative group matched for intelligence quotient (IQ) and socioeconomic status. Data of five assessment waves from ages 11 to 22?years were analyzed using linear mixed modeling. We found that in adolescence, sex differences in developmental trajectories of psychopathological symptoms specific for autism are confined to the repetitive stereotyped domain (males had higher scores on the sensory/stereotypic and resistance to change domains, the latter difference disappeared during adolescence due to an increase of these problems in females with ASD). Other sex differences, among which an increase over time in affective and anxiety problems in females was the most outstanding, were also observed in typically developing females. These sex-specific differences have relevance in the clinical care of men and women with autism, although they are subtle compared to differences between individuals with and without autism, which are broadly present in internalizing and externalizing problem domains.Lay abstractThere is an ongoing debate as to whether autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is expressed differently in women than men. Studies on sex differences in autistic symptoms and symptoms of other psychiatric problems present in individuals with autism generally do not include a general population comparison group, making it unclear whether differences are specific to autism or merely reflecting development in the general population. In this study, we compared sex differences in the course of autistic and at the same time present symptoms of other psychiatric problems in adolescents with milder forms of ASD to those in a group of the general population with an equal intelligence quotient (IQ) and socioeconomic status. Data of five assessment moments from ages 11 to 22?years were analyzed using a statistic procedure that allowed us to determine which factors affect the course of symptoms over time. We found that in adolescence, sex differences in the course of psychopathological symptoms specific for autism are confined to the repetitive stereotyped domains. Males had higher scores on the sensory/stereotypic and resistance to change domains, the latter difference disappeared during the course of adolescence due to an increase of these problems in autistic females. Other sex differences, among which an increase over time in mood and anxiety problems in females was the most outstanding, were also observed in females without autism. These sex-specific differences have relevance in the clinical care of autistic men and women, although they are subtle compared to differences between individuals with and without autism.
