Titre : Peer rejection as a mediator between socio-emotional function and internalizing symptoms in autistic adolescents Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Xing SU, Auteur ; Xizhe JIN, Auteur ; Bingxi SUN, Auteur ; Xue LI, Auteur ; Li YI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1879-1886 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism internalizing symptoms peer rejection socio-emotional function Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Peer rejection is a distressing experience, which has been found to mediate the association between socio-emotional function and internalizing symptoms in neurotypical adolescents. To examine whether peer rejection statistically links socio-emotional function and internalizing symptoms in autistic adolescents, we measured their socio-emotional function (social skill, alexithymia, empathy), peer rejection, and internalizing symptoms. Autistic adolescents (N = 71), aged between 10 and 16 years (M = 12.73 years), completed questionnaires measuring peer rejection, socio-emotional function (alexithymia, empathy), and internalizing symptoms (depression, anxiety, social anxiety), and their parents completed the Autism-Spectrum Quotient questionnaire measuring adolescents’ social skills. Our results revealed that peer rejection was associated with internalizing symptoms, and peer rejection mediates the relationships between socio-emotional function (social skill, alexithymia, empathy) and internalizing symptoms. These findings underscore the importance of relational factors in the mental health of autistic adolescents and highlight the importance of addressing peer rejection through inclusive practices and social acceptance initiatives.Lay abstract Teenagers often find peer rejection distressing. It is also linked to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. For autistic adolescents, experiencing peer rejection is even more common, but its associations with mental health are less understood. This study aimed to find out if peer rejection is related to anxiety and depression in autistic adolescents. We also wanted to see how social skills, emotional awareness (alexithymia), and empathy relate to peer rejection, and whether these associations extend to emotional distress (depression, anxiety, social anxiety). We surveyed autistic adolescents aged 10 to 16 about their social experiences, socio-emotional function, and emotional distress. Their parents provided social-skill information. Autistic adolescents who felt more rejected by their peers had higher levels of emotional distress. Moreover, teens who struggled more with social skills and emotional functions tended to feel more rejected by peers and to experience higher levels of emotional distress. Our findings suggest that relationships play a crucial role in the mental health of autistic adolescents. While building individual social and emotional skills is important, fostering supportive peer environments may also play a key role in promoting their well-being.

Titre : Differential susceptibility to peer rejection and acceptance: A within-child experiment Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Danni LIU, Auteur ; Anouk VAN DIJK, Auteur ; Zonglin TIAN, Auteur ; Maja DEKOVIC, Auteur ; Judith Semon DUBAS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1564-1576 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : children experiment peer acceptance peer rejection preadolescents sensory processing sensitivity within-child differential susceptibility Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The differential susceptibility model suggests that the same children who are more susceptible to peer rejection are also more susceptible to peer acceptance. Testing this within-child assumption, we examined whether a subgroup of children exists who are more reactive to both rejection and acceptance, and whether higher levels of sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) characterize this subgroup. We randomly assigned 455 preadolescents (Mage = 10.86, 49.5% boys) to receive either counterbalanced rejection and acceptance feedback (experimental group) or neutral feedback (control group) from online fictitious peers, and assessed their emotional, self-esteem, attributional, and behavioral responses. Results revealed two subgroups of children showing elevated emotional or self-esteem reactivity to both rejection and acceptance, supporting within-child differential susceptibility. However, SPS did not distinguish these subgroups or moderate children’s responses to peer feedback – suggesting limited support for SPS as a differential susceptibility marker to experimentally manipulated peer acceptance and rejection.

Titre : Dynamic pathways between rejection and antisocial behavior in peer networks: Update and test of confluence model Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Olga KORNIENKO, Auteur ; Thao HA, Auteur ; Thomas J. DISHION, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.175-188 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : antisocial behavior longitudinal social network analysis peer networks peer rejection stochastic actor-based modeling Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The confluence model theorizes that dynamic transactions between peer rejection and deviant peer clustering amplify antisocial behavior (AB) within the school context during adolescence. Little is known about the links between peer rejection and AB as embedded in changing networks. Using longitudinal social network analysis, we investigated the interplay between rejection, deviant peer clustering, and AB in an ethnically diverse sample of students attending public middle schools (N = 997; 52.7% boys). Adolescents completed peer nomination reports of rejection and antisocial behavior in Grades 6-8. Results revealed that rejection status was associated with friendship selection, and adolescents became rejected if they were friends with others who were rejected. Youth befriended others with similar levels of AB. Significant patterns of peer influence were documented for AB and rejection. As hypothesized, rejected youth with low AB were more likely to affiliate with others with high AB instead of similarly low AB. In contrast, nonrejected youth preferred to befriend others with similarly high or low AB. Results support an updated confluence model of a joint interplay between rejection and AB as ecological conditions that lead to self-organization into deviant clusters in which peer contagion on problem behaviors operates.

WILSON, Auteur ; Kathryn LEMERY-CHALFANT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.171-182 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : gene?environment correlation marijuana use middle childhood peer rejection time-varying effect modeling Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Aggressive behavior in middle childhood can contribute to peer rejection, subsequently increasing risk for substance use in adolescence. However, the quality of peer relationships a child experiences can be associated with his or her genetic predisposition, a genotype?environment correlation (rGE). In addition, recent evidence indicates that psychosocial preventive interventions can buffer genetic predispositions for negative behavior. The current study examined associations between polygenic risk for aggression, aggressive behavior, and peer rejection from 8.5 to 10.5 years, and the subsequent influence of peer rejection on marijuana use in adolescence (n = 515; 256 control, 259 intervention). Associations were examined separately in control and intervention groups for children of families who participated in a randomized controlled trial of the family-based preventive intervention, the Family Check-Up . Using time-varying effect modeling (TVEM), polygenic risk for aggression was associated with peer rejection from approximately age 8.50 to 9.50 in the control group but no associations were present in the intervention group. Subsequent analyses showed peer rejection mediated the association between polygenic risk for aggression and adolescent marijuana use in the control group. The role of rGEs in middle childhood peer processes and implications for preventive intervention programs for adolescent substance use are discussed.

Titre : Language skills, peer rejection, and the development of externalizing behavior from kindergarten to fourth grade Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Barbara MENTING, Auteur ; Pol A.C. VAN LIER, Auteur ; Hans M. KOOT, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.72-79 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Elementary school children language skills externalizing behavior peer rejection sex differences Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Children with poorer language skills are more likely to show externalizing behavior problems, as well as to become rejected by their peers. Peer rejection has also been found to affect the development of externalizing behavior. This study explored the role of peer rejection in the link between language skills and the development of externalizing behavior.
Methods: Six hundred and fifteen (615) children were followed from kindergarten to grade 4. Receptive language skills were measured with the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test in grade 2. Teachers reported externalizing behavior and peer reports of social rejection were measured annually.
Results: Children with poorer receptive language skills showed increasing externalizing behavior, while children with better receptive language skills showed decreases in externalizing behavior. Children with poorer receptive language skills experienced peer rejection most frequently. The link between receptive language skills and the development of externalizing behavior was mediated by the development of peer rejection. Findings suggested that this mediational link applied mostly to boys.
Conclusion: Children with poorer language skills are at increased risk of becoming rejected by mainstream peers, which adds to the development of externalizing behavior.En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2010.02279.x Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=113
