Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

936
Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

A persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, defiant behavior, or vindictiveness characterizes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Symptoms must occur over at least six months, involve interactions with individuals beyond siblings, and meet specific diagnostic criteria to be clinically significant. The disorder affects emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavior, often manifesting early in life and influencing long-term development and functioning.

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Longitudinal Studies

Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

1.4K
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Bullying02:04

Bullying

9.0K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Criminology

Background:

  • Child neglect is the most prevalent form of maltreatment in the U.S.
  • The developmental impacts of chronic neglect are understudied.
  • Chronic neglect poses significant costs to child welfare systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the effects of chronic neglect, including failure to provide and lack of supervision, on adolescent aggression and delinquency.
  • To investigate the moderating role of gender in the relationship between chronic neglect and adolescent outcomes.
  • To explore the mediating role of social problems in the link between chronic neglect and aggression/delinquency.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a diverse, longitudinal sample of youth.
  • Assessed chronic neglect (ages 0-12) and its subtypes: failure to provide and lack of supervision.
  • Measured adolescent aggression and delinquency (age 14), controlling for other maltreatment.

Main Results:

  • Chronic neglect and chronic failure to provide (ages 0-12) predicted aggression/delinquency at age 14, independent of other maltreatment.
  • Chronic lack of supervision did not predict aggression/delinquency.
  • Gender moderated the effects, with males showing a stronger association.
  • Social problems at age 12 partially mediated the association for boys and fully mediated it for girls.

Conclusions:

  • Chronic neglect, especially failure to provide, is a significant predictor of adolescent aggression and delinquency.
  • Social functioning deficits appear to be a key pathway through which chronic neglect influences behavioral problems.
  • Findings underscore the need for targeted interventions for chronically neglected youth, emphasizing social skill development and support for child welfare systems.
