Titre : Associations between trauma exposure and irritability within the family unit: a network approach Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Grace COTTER, Auteur ; Kristina MORREALE, Auteur ; Amanda VALDEGAS, Auteur ; Meghan FISH, Auteur ; Rebecca BEEBE, Auteur ; Damion GRASSO, Auteur ; Carla STOVER, Auteur ; Wan-Ling TSENG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1501-1512 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Irritability trauma network analysis psychopathology emotion regulation PTSD intergenerational transmission psychological violence Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Pediatric irritability is a pervasive psychiatric symptom, yet its etiology remains elusive. While trauma exposure may contribute to the development of irritability, empirical research is limited. This study examined the prevalence of irritability among trauma-exposed children, identified factors that differentiate trauma-exposed children with and without irritability, and employed a network analysis to uncover associations between irritability and trauma exposure in the family unit. Methods Sample included 676 children (56.3% male, mean age?=?9.67?+?3.7?years) and their parents referred by the Connecticut Department of Children and Families to Fathers for Change ? a psychotherapy intervention designed to reduce intimate partner violence (IPV) and child maltreatment. Child's trauma exposure, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, and irritability were assessed pre-intervention using self- and caregiver-report. Parents self-reported their childhood and adulthood trauma exposures, PTSD symptoms, irritability, psychopathology, and IPV. Results Across caregiver- and child-reports, 16%?17% of children exhibited irritability. Irritable children experienced greater trauma exposure, interpersonal violence, emotional abuse, and PTSD severity. They had caregivers, particularly mothers, with greater trauma histories, IPV, and psychopathology. Network analysis revealed 10 nodes directly correlated to child's irritability including child's PTSD severity, parental IPV (specifically psychological violence), and parental psychopathology. Conclusions Results provide initial empirical evidence that pediatric irritability is linked to trauma exposure, suggesting trauma histories be considered in the diagnosis and treatment of irritability. Interventions addressing caregiver trauma, IPV, and psychopathology may ameliorate pediatric irritability. Future studies could benefit from adopting network approaches with longitudinal or time series data to elucidate causality and points of intervention.

POLLAK, Auteur ; Damion GRASSO, Auteur ; Joel VOSS, Auteur ; Nicholas D. MIAN, Auteur ; Elvira ZOBEL, Auteur ; Kimberly J. MCCARTHY, Auteur ; Lauren S. WAKSCHLAG, Auteur ; Daniel S.

Attention bias may moderate the relationship between violence exposure and anxiety in young children. Capitalizing on measurement advances, this study examines these relationships at a younger age than previously possible. Methods Young children (mean age 4.7, ±0.8) from a cross-sectional sample oversampled for violence exposure (N = 218) completed the dot-probe task to assess their attention biases. Observed fear/anxiety was characterized with a novel observational paradigm, the Anxiety Dimensional Observation Scale. Mother-reported symptoms were assessed with the Preschool Age Psychiatric Assessment and Trauma Symptom Checklist for Young Children. Violence exposure was characterized with dimensional scores reflecting probability of membership in two classes derived via latent class analysis from the Conflict Tactics Scales: Abuse and Harsh Parenting. Results Family violence predicted greater child anxiety and trauma symptoms. Attention bias moderated the relationship between violence and anxiety. Conclusions Attention bias toward threat may strengthen the effects of family violence on the development of anxiety, with potentially cascading effects across childhood. Such associations may be most readily detected when using observational measures of childhood anxiety.

Titre : Attention bias in the developmental unfolding of post-traumatic stress symptoms in young children at risk Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Margaret J. BRIGGS-GOWAN, Auteur ; Damion GRASSO, Auteur ; Yair BAR-HAIM, Auteur ; Joel VOSS, Auteur ; Kimberly J. MCCARTHY, Auteur ; Daniel S. PINE, Auteur ; Lauren S. WAKSCHLAG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1083-1091 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Attention bias stress violence anxiety posttraumatic stress trauma Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Threat-related attention bias relates to anxiety and posttraumatic stress symptoms in adults and adolescents, but few longitudinal studies examine such associations in young children. This study examines prospective relations among attention bias, trauma exposure, and anxiety and trauma symptoms in a sample previously reported to manifest cross-sectional associations between attention bias and observed anxiety at preschool age. Methods Young children [mean (MN) = 5.0, ±0.7 years, n = 208] from a community-based sample completed the dot-probe task to assess their attention biases in response to angry faces. At baseline (T1) and at follow-up approximately 9 months later (T2), anxiety and trauma exposure (i.e. violent and noninterpersonal events) and symptoms were assessed by maternal report. Results Neither attention bias nor baseline or recent trauma exposure predicted later anxiety. In contrast, attention bias toward threat and recent trauma exposure significantly predicted later trauma symptoms. There was evidence of symptom specificity such that attention bias toward threat significantly predicted hyperarousal and dissociation, but not avoidance or re-experiencing symptoms. Finally, moderation analyses indicated that the relationship between attention bias and trauma symptoms may differ according to children's experiences of probable abuse. Conclusions Attention profiles and trauma exposure may increase the risk that young children will develop trauma symptoms. Individual differences in these attentional patterns and children's exposure history may impact outcomes among high-risk children with potential implications for intervention.
