BORDUIN, Auteur ; Kaitlin M. SHEERIN, Auteur ; Stephen M. KANNE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1586-1600 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract This study aimed to characterize aggressive behaviors in autistic youths and to identify the social environment variables most strongly linked with aggression in this clinical population. Participants were 2142 caregivers of autistic youths (ages 6.0-17.9) recruited from autism research centers across the United States. Caregivers completed self-report and behavior rating inventories that assessed both verbal and physical aggression as well as characteristics of the individual youths (sleep quality, gastrointestinal [GI] symptoms, and autism characteristics) and their families (caregiver stress, global family functioning, and sibling relations), peers (emotional bonding, number of friends), schools (academic functioning), and neighborhoods (perceived community safety). We used descriptive analyses to identify which aggressive acts were most common among autistic youths, and we performed bivariate correlations and multiple linear regression analyses to determine which characteristics of the youths and their social environments were most strongly linked with youth aggression. Verbally aggressive youth behaviors were endorsed by caregivers most frequently. Youth age and sex were not associated with verbal or physical aggression. A combination of youth and social environment characteristics accounted for 42.6% of the variance in verbal aggression and 26.0% of the variance in physical aggression. Thus, those characteristics most strongly linked with verbal and physical aggression were strained sibling relations, caregiver stress, youth sleep problems, and youth repetitive and restrictive behaviors. Viewed together, the results suggest that aggressive behaviors in autistic youths are associated with multiple characteristics pertaining to the individual youths and their immediate social environments. Implications for treatment and research are discussed.

The social ecology of aggression in youths with autism spectrum disorder / Cynthia E. BROWN in Autism Research, 12-11 (November 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 12-11 (November 2019) . - p.1636-1647 Titre : The social ecology of aggression in youths with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Cynthia E. BROWN, Auteur ; Charles M. BORDUIN, Auteur ; Alex R. DOPP, Auteur ; Micah O. MAZUREK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1636-1647 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : aggression  autism spectrum disorder  disruptive behaviors  social ecology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined the social-ecological correlates of aggressive behavior in 120 youths with autism spectrum disorder. Youths were divided into three groups based on caregiver reports of the youth's aggressive acts: youths who engaged in acts of both physical and verbal aggression, youths who engaged only in acts of physical aggression, and nonaggressive youths. Caregivers and youths completed self-report instruments and behavior rating inventories that assessed youth individual functioning, family relations, and extrafamilial factors (i.e., peer relations, academic performance). Results showed that youths who engaged in both verbal and physical aggression were characterized by poor sleep quality and victimization by peers, and their caregivers evidenced high levels of distress and avoidant coping. In contrast, youths who were physically but not verbally aggressive were distinguished by difficulties in social interaction and communication. In general, each group of youths who were aggressive experienced more problems with repetitive behaviors, family relations, and academic performance than did their nonaggressive counterparts. The implications of these findings for theory, research, and treatment are discussed. Autism Res 2019. (c) 2019 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: The present study demonstrated that youths with autism spectrum disorder may be classified by the types of aggressive behaviors that they exhibit: youths who are verbally and physically aggressive, physically aggressive only, or not aggressive. Compared to the nonaggressive group, both groups of youths who were aggressive experienced difficulties in their individual, family, peer, and academic functioning. Youths with both verbal and physical aggression showed the most problems in their functioning.
