概括
青少年大脑认知发展 (ABCD) 研究数据显示,持续测量青春期比研究青少年发展的分类测量更可靠和可用. 这突显了准确的青春期测量对于了解青少年福祉的重要性.
科学领域:
- 神经科学
- 发展心理学
- 人类发展
背景情况:
- 青少年大脑认知发展 (ABCD) 研究为研究美国青少年青春期发展提供了独特的机会.
- 最佳利用ABCD数据需要仔细考虑青春期对心理和神经发育的影响,并进行准确的测量.
- 本研究比较了从青春期发育量表中得出的两个青春期指标的使用和优势:数据发布的分类指标和连续指标.
研究的目的:
- 审查ABCD研究中的青春期数据如何被用于已发表的研究.
- 实证地比较分类与持续的青春期措施的优点和缺点.
- 在青少年发育研究中测量青春期的最佳实践.
主要方法:
- 根据PRISMA的指导方针,对190项已发表的研究进行了系统审查,这些研究使用了ABCD青春期数据.
- 两个独立评价者对与青春期测量相关的关键特征进行了编码研究.
- 使用ABCD基线和1年后续数据对分类性和持续性青春期的实证比较,评估描述性,可靠性,性别差异和双胞胎相似性.
主要成果:
- 系统性审查发现大多数研究将青春期视为共变量 (72%),测量方法各异,对性别差异的关注有限.
- 持续性青春期测量在数据可用性,发育分布和可靠性方面表现出优势.
- 青少年对青春期的自我报告在青春期早期具有有限的效用.
结论:
- 这些发现对使用ABCD研究青春期数据,特别是早期评估有重大影响.
- 准确测量青春期对于理解青少年大脑和行为发展的复杂影响至关重要.
- 解决测量问题将提高ABCD研究的严谨性,并有助于促进年轻人的福祉.

The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes
8.8K
In most organisms, sex is determined by the ratio of X and Y chromosomes. However, in some organisms, such as Drosophila and C.elegans, sex is determined by the ratio of the number of X chromosomes to the number of sets of autosomes. The Y chromosome in Drosophila is active but does not determine sex. It contains genes responsible for the production of sperms in adult flies.
Normal male Drosophila has a ratio of one X chromosome to two sets of autosomes. In contrast, normal female...

Regression Toward the Mean
6.5K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Conduct Disorder
106
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;...

Bias in Epidemiological Studies
675
Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:

Sex-linked Disorders
103.0K
Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.
