Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 65-11 (November 2024) . - p.1486-1500 Titre : A Bayesian approach for exploring person?*?environment interaction within the environmental sensitivity meta-framework Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Francesca LIONETTI, Auteur ; Antonio CALCAGNÌ, Auteur ; Giulio D'URSO, Auteur ; Maria SPINELLI, Auteur ; Mirco FASOLO, Auteur ; Michael PLUESS, Auteur ; Massimiliano PASTORE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1486-1500 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Differential susceptibility  diathesis-stress  vantage sensitivity  Bayesian approach  MCMC estimates Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background For investigating the individual?environment interplay and individual differences in response to environmental exposures as captured by models of environmental sensitivity including Diathesis-stress, Differential Susceptibility, and Vantage Sensitivity, over the last few years, a series of statistical guidelines have been proposed. However, available solutions suffer of computational problems especially relevant when sample size is not sufficiently large, a common condition in observational and clinical studies. Method In the current contribution, we propose a Bayesian solution for estimating interaction parameters via Monte Carlo Markov Chains (MCMC), adapting Widaman et al. (Psychological Methods, 17, 2012, 615) Nonlinear Least Squares (NLS) approach. Results Findings from an applied exemplification and a simulation study showed that with relatively big samples both MCMC and NLS estimates converged on the same results. Conversely, MCMC clearly outperformed NLS, resolving estimation problems and providing more accurate estimates, particularly with small samples and greater residual variance. Conclusions As the body of research exploring the interplay between individual and environmental variables grows, enabling predictions regarding the form of interaction and the extent of effects, the Bayesian approach could emerge as a feasible and readily applicable solution to numerous computational challenges inherent in existing frequentist methods. This approach holds promise for enhancing the trustworthiness of research outcomes, thereby impacting clinical and applied understanding.

Investigating sensitivity through the lens of parents: validation of the parent-report version of the Highly Sensitive Child scale / Alessandra SPERATI in Development and Psychopathology, 36-1 (February 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 36-1 (February 2024) . - p.415-428 Titre : Investigating sensitivity through the lens of parents: validation of the parent-report version of the Highly Sensitive Child scale Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Alessandra SPERATI, Auteur ; Maria SPINELLI, Auteur ; Mirco FASOLO, Auteur ; Massimiliano PASTORE, Auteur ; Michael PLUESS, Auteur ; Francesca LIONETTI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.415-428 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Highly Sensitive Child scale  children  differential susceptibility  environmental sensitivity  parent report Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children differ in their environmental sensitivity (ES), which can be measured observationally or by self-report questionnaire. A parent-report scale represents an important tool for investigating ES in younger children but has to be psychometrically robust and valid. In the current multistudy, we validated the parent-report version of the Highly Sensitive Child (HSC-PR) scale in Italian children, evaluating its factorial structure (Study 1, N = 1,857, 6.2 years, age range: 2.6-14 years) through a multigroup Confirmatory Factory Analysis in preschoolers (n = 1,066, 4.2 years) and school-age children (n = 791, 8.8 years). We then investigated the HSC-PR relationship with established temperament traits (Study 2, N = 327, 4.3 years), before exploring whether the scale moderates the effects of parenting stress on children?s emotion regulation (Study 3, N = 112, 6.5 years). We found support for a bi-factor structure in both groups, though in preschoolers minor adaptations were suggested for one item. Importantly, the HSC-PR did not fully overlap with common temperament traits and moderated the effects of parenting stress on children emotion regulation. To conclude, the HSC-PR performs well and appears to capture ES in children.

The interplay between parenting and environmental sensitivity in the prediction of children?s externalizing and internalizing behaviors during COVID-19 / Francesca LIONETTI in Development and Psychopathology, 35-3 (August 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 35-3 (August 2023) . - p.1390-1403 Titre : The interplay between parenting and environmental sensitivity in the prediction of children?s externalizing and internalizing behaviors during COVID-19 Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Francesca LIONETTI, Auteur ; Maria SPINELLI, Auteur ; Ughetta MOSCARDINO, Auteur ; Silvia PONZETTI, Auteur ; Maria Concetta GARITO, Auteur ; Antonio DELLAGIULIA, Auteur ; Tiziana AURELI, Auteur ; Mirco FASOLO, Auteur ; Michael PLUESS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1390-1403 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : COVID-19  environmental sensitivity  externalizing behaviors  internalizing behaviors  parenting Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The interplay of parenting and environmental sensitivity on children?s behavioral adjustment during, and immediately after, the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions was investigated in two longitudinal studies involving Italian preschoolers (Study 1, N = 72; 43% girls, Myears = 3.82(1.38)) and primary school children (Study 2, N = 94; 55% girls, Myears = 9.08(0.56)). Data were collected before and during the first-wave lockdown (Studies 1 and 2) and one month later (Study 1). Parental stress and parent-child closeness were measured. Markers of environmental sensitivity in children were temperamental fearfulness and Sensory Processing Sensitivity. Results showed little change in externalizing and internalizing behaviors over time, but differences emerged when considering parenting and children?s environmental sensitivity. In preschoolers, greater parenting stress was related to a stronger increase in internalizing and externalizing behaviors, with children high in fearful temperament showing a more marked decrease in externalizing behaviors when parenting stress was low. In school-aged children, parent-child closeness emerged as a protective factor for internalizing and externalizing behaviors during COVID-19, with children high in Sensory Processing Sensitivity showing a marked decrease in internalizing behaviors when closeness was high. Implications for developmental theory and practice in times of pandemic are discussed.
