Introduction to Psychological Disorders

551
Abnormal behavior, often referred to as mental illness, results from changes in brain function that influence thought patterns, behaviors, and social interactions. Psychologists and psychiatrists typically assess abnormal behavior using three primary criteria: deviance, maladaptation, and personal distress, particularly when these traits persist over long periods.
Deviant Behavior
Deviance in behavior refers to actions or thought patterns that significantly diverge from societal norms or...

Bullying

8.5K
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...

Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

164
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;...

Naturalistic Observations

16.5K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

13
According to George Herbert Mead, as children progress beyond the game stage, they develop a more comprehensive understanding of societal rules and norms. This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

403
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....

Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Neuropsychiatry
  • Network Analysis

Background:

  • Abnormal child behavior is complex, often involving disorders like ADHD and comorbidities.
  • Existing ADHD screening tools, such as the Conners Rating Scales-Revised: Short Version (CTRS-R:S), assess broader behavioral constructs.
  • Understanding these behaviors as a system of interacting elements is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the items of the CTRS-R:S as a psychological network.
  • To explore the interplay between different domains of abnormal child behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Analyzed data from 525 children in Belgian primary schools.
  • Estimated a Bayesian Gaussian Graphical Model (Bayes Factor = 30).
  • Applied the spinglass algorithm to identify network communities and influential nodes.

Main Results:

  • Identified a 28-item network of child behavior domains.
  • Found 'Oppositional' and 'Cognitive skills' domains had the strongest connection.
  • Discovered eight distinct, causally interconnected domains within the CTRS-R:S network.

Conclusions:

  • A network approach provides a valuable framework for studying abnormal child behavior.
  • The CTRS-R:S network reveals complex interrelationships between symptoms.
  • This methodology enhances understanding of the interplay within abnormal child behavior domains.
