Kamenchuk, Olga. "Community Factors That Correlate with Middle-Adolescent Antisocial Behavior." DigitalCommons@USU, 2003. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/6187.
Full textAbstract:
Many adolescents nowadays display antisocial behavior. A large number of theories explaining origin of antisocial behavior have been developed in the last several centuries. The current study utilizes the "ecological" theoretical framework that allows the researcher to consider multiple ecological systems in which individuals operate and to focus on the community factors influencing antisocial behavior.
The researcher used part of the Prevention Needs Assessment survey to identify which community risk and protective factors correlate with middle-adolescent antisocial behavior. Analysis included intercluster, cluster-item correlations, and partial correlations. Results indicated correlations between antisocial behavior and a number of community risk factors, and a relationship between antisocial behavior and language (but not ethnicity) of the individual. None of the protective factors were found to be present in this study.

Full textAbstract:
This exploratory cross-sectional study examined the relationship between implicit family process rules and adolescent prosocial and antisocial communication behaviors. Data came from two-parent families in wave 5 of the Flourishing Families project which consisted of 322 families (fathers, mothers and children ages 13-17). Both observational and questionnaire data were used in data collection. Prosocial and antisocial behaviors were assessed using observational codes from the Iowa Family Interaction Rating Scales (Melby, et al., 1998). Each of the family members' perceptions were used to assess constraining family rules and facilitative family rules. Findings showed a direct positive relationship between facilitative family process rules and pro-social communication and a negative relationship with antisocial communication. Constraining family process rules were also positively related to antisocial communication behaviors in adolescents. Shame was a significant mediator of the relationship between facilitative family rules and prosocial behavior as well as between constraining family rules and antisocial behavior. Implications for family therapy practice are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The notion of adolescent antisocial behaviors being committed by qualitatively different adolescents, those who engage in antisocial behavior only during adolescence due to social influences and pressures and those who persist in antisocial behaviors throughout the lifespan due to pathological characteristics, is quite popular though not previously empirically tested. The present study tested Moffitt's (1993) dual taxonomy of antisocial behavior utilizing a full adoption design. The sample used in this study came from Cadoret's Iowa Adoption Studies, 1975-1982 (Cadoret, 1988). Parent reports of antisocial behaviors of adoptees in this sample (N = 387) were utilized to classify adoptees as either Adolescence Limited (AL) (N = 115) or Life-Course-Persistent (LCP) (N = 62). Central questions examined in this study were: (1) Are AL and LCP individuals independent of biological history of either psychopathology or antisocial personality? (2) Is there a differential genetic influence on AL and LCP individuals? and, (3) Does genetic influence differ by domain of antisocial behavior examined? Analyses indicated that AL and LCP classification was not independent of biological history of either psychopathology or antisocial personality disorder. Hierarchical regression analyses consistently indicated that AL and LCP classification predicted both parent reports of antisocial behavior and clinical assessments of adoptee antisocial personality. While AL/LCP Classification x Biological History interactions were not significant, logistic regression analyses consistently indicated that LCP individuals were significantly more likely to have a biological parent with a history of either psychopathology or antisocial personality than were AL individuals. Further support for the normative nature of AL antisocial behaviors was demonstrated by the finding that AL individuals were no more likely than those adolescents who did not engage in any antisocial behaviors to have a biological parent diagnosed with either psychopathology or antisocial personality. Analyses by domains of antisocial behavior revealed no significant differences between groups for aggressive behaviors but that LCP individuals were more likely to engage in substance use during adolescence than were AL individuals. Discussion focuses on the implications that the findings have for both subsequent research and intervention programs.

Cruise, Keith R. "Measurement of Adolescent Psychopathy: Construct and Predictive Validity in Two Samples of Juvenile Offenders." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2000. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2648/.
Full textAbstract:
The construct of psychopathy holds promise as a discriminating variable in the classification and explanation of childhood antisocial behavior. The new generation of psychopathy measures, designed to measure this construct in adolescent populations, must meet acceptable standards of reliability and validity prior to the clinical application of the construct with adolescent offenders. The purpose of this study is to examine the construct and predictive validity of adolescent psychopathy as measured by the PCL:YV, PSD, SALE, and SRP-II. Data from two samples of detained adolescent offenders (short-term and long-term detention) are utilized to investigate construct validity via MTMM. In addition, external validity indices including institutional violations (fighting, seclusions, and treatment refusals) and community supervision (probation contacts, drug testing, and re-arrests) are operationalized and measured in order to examine the predictive validity of adolescent psychopathy. Results of construct validity offer modest support for the two-factor model of psychopathy. For external validity, Factor 2 accounted for greater variance in the prediction of institutional infractions and subsequent placements in a secure facility; however, its overall predictive validity was low. The results suggest that the current measures assess psychopathic traits and behaviors which may be stable in adults but are likely to be normative and transient in many adolescents.

Full textAbstract:
The primary objective of this study was to explore the influence of parental support on antisocial behavior among 1514 adolescents from Sarasota County (Florida). An integrated multilevel approach was developed considering elements of the social support paradigm and social learning theory. Using Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM), the results suggest that both paternal and maternal support were significant factors in the prevention of antisocial behavior. However, paternal support demonstrated to be stronger when students justified school misbehavior. At the school level, the findings suggest that the influence of parental support to reduce antisocial behavior competes with favorable definitions toward crime learned by youngsters from society and deviant peers.

Full textAbstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorThe antisocial behavior can be considered as an action pattern whose goal is to obtain quickly reward, keep distant or annul the demands of the social environments in which the person is placed.However, when this kind of behavior enhances, stabilizes and becomes frequent they can be classified as ( Conduct Disorder, Challenger-Oppositional Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder) present in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-V. The antisocial behavior can be categorized as: persistent (when started in childhood and tend to pursue in adulthood) and transitional (when they are restrited to a stage, in general, adolescence). The behavior that come comes up in adolescence is tend, often, to disappear when maturity comes. Only a little part of teenagers continue having this kind of behavior in adulthood. This dissertation is divided in two studies. The first study was a literature sistemic review, beginning from the purposed model of Moffitt (1993), searching to offer a current overview of the studies that investigates the associated antisocial behavior through the development. The results indicate that the difference between body growth and the psychological social maturity levels are aspects that can boost the occurrence of antisocial transitional behavior. On the other hand, the persistant antisocial behavior has its origin in childhood due to the multiple variations tha can contribute to the development of these bahaviors (family violence, school problems, neurological, etc). This tipology use can help and improve the success of preventive actions and therapeutical interventions recommended to people who have these behaviors. The second study searches to compare and analize the relation between the historic of repetition and expulsion in schools and the future projects stablishment in two groups of adolescents one composed by 73 students from public schools and another by 73 adolescents who enforce correctional measures. The data collection was carried through the Juventude Brasileira questionnaire. It was noticed that the adolescents who enforce correctional measures present low schooling, they have historic of repetition and expulsion at school when compared to a school group. The adolescents who are involved in the education rarely include activities related to study and plans for the future. The historic of recurring school problems can be served as a tool to help the identification of possible people with antisocial behavior. Therefore, for the people who have these characteristics, it should be created intervention ways (psychotherapy) focused specifically in the school integration, in order to avoid these antisocial behaviors to become persistent.
O comportamento antissocial pode ser caracterizado como um padrão de ações cuja finalidade é a obtenção de recompensas imediatas, afastar ou anular as exigências do meio social em que o indivíduo está inserido. No entanto, quando esses comportamentos se intensificam, estabilizam e se tornam frequentes podem ser classificados como transtornos (Transtorno de Conduta, Transtorno Desafiador-Opositivo e Transtorno da Personalidade Antissocial) presentes no Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais DSM-V. Os comportamentos antissociais podem ser categorizados como: persistentes (quando iniciam na infância e tendem a prosseguir até a fase adulta) e transitórios (quando se encontram restritos a uma fase do desenvolvimento, em geral, adolescência). Os comportamentos que surgem na adolescência são propensos, muitas vezes, a desaparecer com a maturidade do indivíduo. Apenas uma pequena parcela de adolescentes permanece com comportamentos antissociais na vida adulta. Essa dissertação está dividida em dois estudos. O primeiro estudo realizou uma revisão sistemática de literatura, a partir do modelo proposto por Moffitt (1993), buscando oferecer um panorama atual dos estudos que investigam os correlatos do comportamento antissocial ao longo do desenvolvimento. Os resultados indicam que a disparidade entre o crescimento corporal e os níveis de maturidade psicológica e social são aspectos que podem impulsionar o surgimento de comportamentos antissociais transitórios. Já os comportamentos antissociais persistentes têm sua origem na infância devido a múltiplas variáveis que podem contribuir para a produção desses comportamentos (violência familiar, problemas escolares, neurológicos, etc). O uso dessa tipologia pode auxiliar e melhorar as chances de sucesso nas ações preventivas e intervenções terapêuticas voltadas para indivíduos que apresentam esses comportamentos. O segundo estudo busca comparar dois grupos de adolescentes escolares e adolescentes em conflito com a lei quanto ao estabelecimento de projetos de futuro e à ocorrência de reprovação e expulsão escolar (um grupo é composto por 73 estudantes de escolas públicas e outro por 73 adolescentes que cumprem medida socioeducativa). A coleta de dados foi realizada através do questionário Juventude Brasileira. Verificou-se que os adolescentes que cumprem medidas socioeducativa apresentam baixa escolaridade, possuem histórico de repetência e expulsão escolar quando comparados com o grupo da escola. Os adolescentes que estão envolvidos com a socioeducação raramente incluem atividades relacionadas ao estudo em seus planos para o futuro. O histórico de recorrentes problemas escolares pode servir como uma ferramenta que auxilia na identificação dos possíveis indivíduos com comportamentos antissociais. Portanto, para esses indivíduos com essas características, deveriam ser criadas formas de intervenções (psicoterapias) focadas especificamente na integração com a escola, a fim de evitar que esses comportamentos antissociais se tornem persistentes.

Full textAbstract:
A number of studies have demonstrated a social gradient in antisocial behaviour, with children from low-socioeconomic backgrounds exhibiting more behavioural difficulties than those from high-socioeconomic families. However, this relationship has not always been reported and estimates of association vary in magnitude across the studies. Moreover, a range of studies have highlighted the indirect nature of this relationship and examined potential mediating variables. It remains unclear whether socioeconomic status (SES) presents similar associations with a range of heterogeneous forms of antisocial behaviour in terms of their gradient and underlying mechanisms. Three studies were conducted to address the nature of the relationship between family SES and children’s antisocial behaviour. In Study 1 (Chapter 2), an extensive systematic review and meta-analysis reported that SES can be considered a major correlate of broadly conceptualised antisocial behaviour and the strength of this relationship is a function of the type of informant and the construct under investigation; stronger relationships were found when antisocial behaviour was reported by parents or teachers, and when callous-unemotional traits were considered as an outcome. Study 2 (Chapter 3) investigated the level, direction, and homogeneity of the impact of household income upon different types of antisocial behaviour in a series of structural equation models using the B-CAMHS 2004 dataset. This study showed that income gradients are similar across a range of antisocial behaviours (such as irritability, aggressive behaviours, callous-unemotional traits), and that income may lead to greater behavioural differences in the mid-income range, and less variation at low- and high-income extremes. Study 3 (Chapter 4) concerns models delineating potential mechanisms indicating that unhealthy family functioning, neighbourhood disadvantage, stressful life events and children’s reading and spelling abilities mediate the relationship between income and antisocial behaviour. The findings arising from the three studies described and their collective contribution are considered in terms of current literature; further theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

In an effort to further understand the contribution of maladaptive personality characteristics to the expression of distinct forms of antisocial behaviour during adolescence, this study examined links between personality disorder traits, physical and social aggression, and nonaggressive antisocial behaviour over one year. A community sample of adolescents (n=182) completed self-reports of physical and social aggression and nonaggressive antisocial behaviour during the summer between the 10th and 11th grades. Participants’ parents (n=192) completed a measure assessing the adolescents’ personality disorder traits when the youths were 15 years of age in 2009, and their teachers (n=154) completed measures of the frequency of adolescents’ perpetration of physical and social aggression during the following academic year. Analyses, conducted separately for boys and girls, explored the links between broad personality disorder factors and facet-level traits as predictors of teacher- and self-rated physical and social aggression, and nonaggressive antisocial behaviour. Results of a series of multiple regression analyses revealed that disagreeableness emerged as a strong predictor of teacher-rated social aggression, self-rated physical aggression and nonaggressive antisocial behaviour in girls but not boys. Broad personality disorder traits did not predict self-rated social aggression. Findings from the facet level revealed that, in contrast with previous research, associations were not found between aspects of disagreeableness, emotional instability, compulsivity and nonaggressive antisocial behaviour in boys. Further, facets within the introversion factor strongly predicted self-rated physical and teacher-rated social aggression for girls only. Findings highlight the importance of examining both higher- and lower-order maladaptive personality traits and considering gender differences in trait expression, in understanding the perpetration of distinct forms of adolescent antisocial behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
The existence of several causes of antisocial behavior during adolescence seems to respond, not only to the combination of many risk factors within different levels of human development, but also to cultural and historical processes affecting, in many ways, several generations since their early childhood. This paper revises the main explicative theories about antisocial behavior during adolescence and highlights the theory of the Neuropsychological Taxonomy of the Antisocial Behavior proposed by Terrie E. Moffitt (1993, 1994, 1996, 2003). Moreover, some studies are mentioned due to the fact that they confirm the cross-cultural validity of Moffitt’s theorical model and its contributions to the design of prevention programs against delinquency for youngsters and adolescents in our context.La multicausalidad del comportamiento antisocial durante la adolescencia parece no sólo obedecer a la combinación de múltiples factores de riesgo ubicados en diferentes niveles del desarrollo humano, sino también a procesos históricos y culturales que afectan de manera diferenciada a varias generaciones de jóvenes desde su temprana infancia. Este artículo revisa las principales teorías explicativas del comportamiento antisocial durante la adolescencia, enfatizando en la teoría neuropsicológica de la Taxonomía del Desarrollo de la Conducta Antisocial propuesta por Terrie E. Moffitt (1993, 1994, 1996, 2003). Asimismo, se mencionan algunos estudios realizados que confirman la validez transcultural del modelo teórico de Moffitt y sus contribuciones para el diseño de programas de prevención del delito entre población adolescente y juvenil en nuestro medio.

Morgan, Joanne E. "Antisocial behaviour in adolescence : the role of reward processing." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2012. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/44838/.
Full textAbstract:
Rewards are fundamental in directing our behaviour, yet maladaptive reward processing can lead to risky and impaired decision making. The nature of reward processing in individuals who display antisocial behaviour is poorly understood, particularly in adolescents. The present thesis examined reward processing in young male offenders involved in the criminal justice system. A multi-method approach to the examination of reward was adopted, using personality, neuropsychological and psychophysiological approaches. The heterogeneity of antisocial behaviour was explored by using self-report and official criminal records. The first study explored reward traits in young offenders (n=85) and non-offending controls (n=50). Trait reward drive was heightened in offenders and reward seeking traits positively predicted antisocial behaviour measures, while the response to reward was negatively associated with psychopathic traits and conduct problems. The second chapter focussed on neuropsychological and behavioural measures of reward and the results showed that young offenders (n=56) and matched controls (n=44) both demonstrated an increased preference for reward. However, reward seeking became deficient resulting in increased punishment for the young offenders only. The third study provided evidence that young offenders (n=33) are able to condition to reward but not to fear. The fourth study (n=66) explored descriptively the nature of substance use in young offenders; cannabis and alcohol were used frequently by a number of offenders and aspects of this behaviour were related to increased offence rate, and reward and psychopathic traits. In summary, the findings showed that young offenders differed from controls in terms of personality traits, neuropsychological and emotional functioning. Reward processing was altered in young offenders as a group compared to controls, but reward processing was not consistently associated with any particular dimension of antisocial behaviour. The results also supported past research on the importance of punishment insensitivity in antisocial behaviour. The research has extended the literature on biobehavioural factors associated with antisocial behaviour in adolescent offenders in the community and emphasises the importance of examining multiple dimensions of both reward and antisocial behaviour. The implications of these findings for policy and practitioners working with young offenders were discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Antisocial behaviour in childhood and adolescence is associated with a range of negative outcomes in later life, which are costly to both society and to the antisocial individual themselves. Because the effectiveness of current interventions appears to be limited, it has been argued that treatment efforts should focus more on designing interventions that target neuropsychological correlates of antisocial behaviour. Two important correlates are impaired facial emotion recognition and empathy; these deficits have been proposed to cause antisocial behaviour because they involve an inability to understand and appropriately respond to the distress of others.

Full textAbstract:
Det pågår en ständig debatt mellan vilka åtgärder som bör tas vid ungdomsbrottslighet, där vissa vill skärpa straffen medan andra menar att rehabilitering är lösningen. Riskfaktorer för antisocialt beteende blir därför en avgörande faktor för att bättre kunna förstå orsakerna, och med kunskapen kunna förebygga uppkomst av antisocialt beteende och ungdomsbrottslighet. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur fyra olika riskfaktorer för antisocialt beteende skilde sig åt mellan två grupper. Studiens deltagare bestod utav två grupper av gymnasieelever mellan åldrarna 15–19, varav en grupp bestod av individer med högt antisocialt beteende och den andra lågt antisocialt beteende. Med hjälp av en tvärsnittsdesign och en självskattningsenkät samlades data in från deltagarna. Resultatet visade signifikant skillnad mellan grupperna på 3 av 4 riskfaktorer, självkontroll, familjerelationer och skoltrivsel. Studien fann ingen signifikant skillnad gällande relation till vänner. Slutsatsen som kan dras utifrån urvalet är att signifikanta skillnader finns på tre av dessa riskfaktorer mellan olika nivåer av antisocialt beteende, där ungdomar med högt antisocialt beteende uppvisar fler riskfaktorer än ungdomar med lågt antisocialt beteende. Förebyggande åtgärder bör därför användas för att minimera riskfaktorerna och deras påverkan på antisocialt beteende och ungdomsbrottslighet.There’s a constant debate about what measures should be taken against juvenile delinquency, where some want increased punishment and others see rehabilitation as the solution. Thus, risk factors for antisocial behavior become vital elements to better understand reasons behind, and with knowledge be able to prevent future antisocial behavior and delinquency. The aim of this study was to examine how four risk factors for antisocial behavior differed between two groups. Participants in this study consisted of two groups with students between the ages of 15-19, of which one group consisted of individuals with high antisocial behavior and the other group low antisocial behavior from our sample. Data was collected through a cross-sectional design with a questionnaire. The results showed significant differences on 3 out of 4 risk factors, selfcontrol, family relations and school satisfaction. No significant difference was found between the two groups regarding relations to friends. The conclusion that can be drawn from our sample is that there is a significant difference on risk factors between different levels of antisocial behavior, where adolescents with high antisocial behavior show more risk factors than adolescents with lower antisocial behavior. Crime preventive measures could hence be used to minimize these risk factors and their effect on antisocial behaviour and delinquency.

Full textAbstract:
Antisocial behaviour and depression co-occur more often than would be expected by chance. Different mechanisms may account for the association including shared risk factors, shared genetic effects and causal developmental pathways from one trait to another. Identifying mechanisms involved in the association of antisocial behaviour and depression is imperative given that this might indicate approaches to treating these serious disorders. Many studies have addressed cross-sectional associations, with limited research on the longitudinal association. In this thesis, three studies were carried out to investigate the association between antisocial behaviour and depressed mood at three different time points (mean ages: 15, 17, and 20 years). The analyses are based on the G1219 longitudinal study of 3,640 adolescent twins and siblings. In the first study (Chapter 2), longitudinal associations were examined to investigate the directionality of the association between the two traits using cross-lagged autoregressive pathway models. Strong cross-sectional associations were found, in addition to significant cross-trait association from depressed mood to oppositionality. In the second study (Chapter 3), a multivariate genetically informative design (Cholesky decomposition) was used to investigate these strong cross-sectional associations. Overlapping genetic effects were found between antisocial behaviour and depressed mood. Considering the results of the second study, the third study (Chapter 4) investigated the role of functional variants of candidate genes (GNβ3, 5HTTLPR and COMT) in the association between both traits. Only GNβ3 was associated with depressed mood, however none of the candidate genes examined showed associations with both antisocial behaviour and depressed mood. Overall, the findings from the first two studies supported phenotypic and genetic overlaps. However, results of third study did not provide evidence on the overlap between the traits. Further replication with additional genetic variants in different age groups is pertinent to uncover the mechanisms involved in the association.

Full textAbstract:
Moffitt (1993) proposed two trajectories for the development of criminal behaviour; one was life-course-persistent offenders with long histories of developmental and behavioural problems and the other was normally developing adolescence-limited offenders who engaged in criminal behaviour for a brief period during the teen years. Moffitt suggested that adolescence-limited offenders mimicked the behaviour of their life-course-persistent contemporaries in order to access the trappings of adulthood, a sign of the “maturity gap” that is hypothesised to occur between physical maturity and social acceptance into adult roles. Consistent with this, Bukowskiet al. (2000) found support for an increased attractiveness of antisocial peers during the adolescent years. The goal of the present study was to examine how young adolescents believe others would view different kinds of behaviour. Subjects from a longitudinal study on low socioeconomic families in Christchurch, NZ, completed a questionnaire where they indicated what they believed others would think if they engaged in pro-social, unconventional, and antisocial behaviours. Adolescents rated how they thought parents, same-sex peers, and attractive opposite-sex peers would perceive the different behaviours, and also indicated how they would perceive the same behaviours in an opposite-sex peer. Results showed that, overall, the sample did not think others would approve of antisocial behaviour, and that they would not approve of antisocial behaviour in an opposite-sex friend. However, differences in perceived approval were found when comparisons were made between boys and girls, and across variations in parenting styles of the adolescent’s caregivers. Differences were also found across indicators of different developmental trajectories, such that those youth who are probably on the life-course persistent trajectory expected less disapproval of antisocial behaviour in others than youth who are probably not on that trajectory. These results are partially consistent with Moffitt’s theory.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the heritability, stability, and outcomes of antisocial behavior from adolescence into adulthood in a longitudinal twin sample. Specifically, the genetic and environmental influences on conduct disorder, adult antisocial behavior, and alcohol dependence were examined. The influence of genes and environment on the relationship between these disorders was also examined. The study utilized a subset of FinnTwin12, a population-based twin study that consists of five consecutive birth cohorts. The subsample consisted of 1035 twin pairs (N = 2070) and of that 2070, 1854 completed the intensive interview at age 14. At age 22, 1345 twins completed the interview. Participants in the study completed age-appropriate variations of the Semi-Structured Assessment for the Genetics of Alcoholism (SSAGA). Analyses were run separately by gender. Results provide support for the significant influence of genetic factors on the development and persistence of antisocial behavior. For both males and females, model fitting indicated that genetic influences are the most influential contributor to the association between conduct disorder and adult antisocial behavior and its stability across time. Additionally, there were no age specific genetic effects suggesting that the genes influencing conduct disorder are the same as those influencing adult antisocial behavior. Results for the relationship between conduct disorder and alcohol dependence differed by gender. For females, insufficient power made it difficult for the model to discriminate between the effects of genetics and shared environment, but the full model suggested that shared environmental influences explained the greatest proportion of variance in the relationship. For males, genetic influences were primarily responsible for the relationship between conduct disorder and alcohol dependence. Similar results were found for males when the relationship between alcohol dependence and adult antisocial behavior was explored. For females, genetic and nonshared environmental influences were the primary source of covariation between these two disorders. The data suggest that the etiology of conduct disorder, adult antisocial behavior, and alcohol dependence vary by gender.

Full textAbstract:
Research suggests that the temporary rise in adolescent antisocial behaviour (ASS) is attributable to a very large number of young people each engaging in a relatively small number of ASS's while progressing through adolescence. One possible explanation for the temporary increase in ASS during adolescence is that during puberty, the cognitive processes responsible for monitoring and controlling behaviour are disrupted. In support of this, recent research has found that adolescents' participation in ASS is positively correlated with the stage of pubertal development rather than age. Additionally, there is evidence that a temporary 'dip' in executive functioning (planning, organizing, decision-making) occurs at an age range (Le. 11-14 years) typically associated with the onset of puberty. This thesis reports a first test of a model which proposes a causal relationship between puberty, decreased executive function and increased antisocial behaviour. Self-report data on pubertal development, antisocial attitudes and ASS participation were collected from 323 boys and girls (ages 9 -17 years) attending New South Wales public schools. Executive function, (Le. updating, response inhibition, set-shifting) was measured in a 3D-minute individual interview. Data were analysed to determine if participants reported greater participation in ASS during puberty onset and whether this period was also characterized by a decline in executive function. In addition, it was investigated whether adolescents who attain puberty earlier than their peers participate in ASS earlier, longer, and at higher rates than their 'on-time' or 'late-maturing' peers, and whether there was an association between 'early' puberty and a persistent reduction in executive function. Results revealed that ASS participation was significantly associated with puberty onset timing, and some significant associations were found between antisocial attitudes and pubertal timing. There was some indication of decreased executive function at puberty onset and a link between early pubertal timing and a persistent reduction in executive function. Thus, there is some partial evidence to support the proposed model of adolescent ASS. However, complications in performing mediation analysis prevent concluding that executive function mediates the relationship between pubertal development and ASB. The implications of these findings are discussed with reference to future research in this field.

INTRODUÇÃO: A vivência de maus tratos na infância é apontada como um fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de comportamentos antissociais e traços psicopáticos. Estudos sugerem alterações estruturais de substância branca (SB) cerebral em vítimas de maus tratos, que podem estar subjacentes a sintomas psiquiátricos e dificuldades cognitivas. OBJETIVO: Investigar o comportamento social de adolescentes vítimas de maus tratos (A-VMT), através da comparação de suas habilidades sociais e traços de psicopatia com um grupo controle (GC), e de possíveis correlações destas medidas com os diferentes tipos de maus tratos e com o volume de SB cerebral. MÉTODO: Foram avaliados 67 A-VMT e 41 adolescentes do GC através do Questionário de Traumas na Infância (QUESI), da Psychopathy Checklist Youth Version (PCL-YV) e do Inventário de Habilidades Sociais para Adolescentes (IHSA). Também foram adquiridas imagens anatômicas cerebrais através de equipamento de ressonância magnética (1,5T Siemens Sonata) e realizadas análises de morfometria baseada em voxels (VBM). RESULTADOS: Os A-VMT apresentaram maior intensidade de traços psicopáticos e mais déficits de habilidades sociais que o GC. A negligência emocional foi a forma de maus tratos que mais influenciou a presença de traços de psicopatia e que mais associou-se a prejuízos de habilidades sociais específicas. O volume de SB de regiões do hemisfério esquerdo (giro angular, precuneus e lobo parietal inferior) correlacionouse negativamente com o fator afetivo da PCL:YV. Além disso, foram encontradas correlações positivas entre o volume de SB de regiões de hemisfério direito com fatores de psicopatia: o volume do lobo parietal superior direito correlacionou-se com características interpessoais e o do giro pré-central com o fator antissocial. CONCLUSÃO: Os A-VMT apresentaram déficits do comportamento social quando comparados ao GC. O volume de SB de áreas cerebrais envolvidas no processamento de informações sociais e reconhecimento de emoções se correlacionou com traços específicos da psicopatia. A vivencia de maus tratos na infância pode contribuir para déficits na cognição social, o que por sua vez, pode predispor esta vulnerável população a alguns comportamentos antissociaisIntroduction: Child maltreatment is considered a risk factor for the development of antisocial behaviors and psychopathic traits. Studies suggest that specific white matter tracts may be vulnerable to child maltreatment and their alterations can be associated with psychiatric symptoms and cognitive deficits. Aim: Compare social skills and psychopathic traits between maltreated adolescents (MTA) and a control group, as well as their possible correlations with different types of maltreatment and white matter volumes.. Method: The sample was composed by 67 MTA and 41 youths from the CG. Brain images were acquired by magnetic resonance imaging equipment (1,5T Siemens Sonata) for voxel-based morphometry analyses. The clinical evaluation was carried out using Childhood Trauma Inventory (CTQ), Social Skills Inventory for Adolescents (SSIA) and The Hare Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL:YV). Results: MTA presented more psychopathic traits and social skills deficits than the CG. Emotional neglect was the only maltreatment subtype with significant effect on psychopathic traits, and it was correlated with specific social skills deficits. The white matter volumes of left hemisphere regions (angular gyrus, precuneus and inferior parietal lobe) were negatively correlated with PCL:YV affective factor scores. Moreover, positive correlations between white matter volume of right hemisphere areas (superior parietal lobe and precentral gyrus) and specific psychopathic traits (antisocial and interpersonal) were found. Conclusion: MTA presented social deficits when compared to CG. The white matter volume of brain areas associated with social information processing and emotion recognition was correlated with specific psychopathic traits. Child maltreatment may contribute to social cognition deficits and predispose this vulnerable population to psychopathic traits

Full textAbstract:
Juvenile delinquency is a widely known problem and some adolescents are constantly engaging in delinquency. The present study examined two types of broader risky personality factors, termed “Inflated Ego” and “Low Impulse Control”, and how the two factors were related to delinquency and antisocial behaviors for adolescent boys and girls. The data was drawn from a large community sample of youths in 8th and 9th grade. The results showed that for both boys and girls, the two factors were similarly related to an antisocial lifestyle and delinquency. However, a low impulse control was the critical risk factor for persistence in delinquency. In conclusion, there is not only one single personality factor behind adolescents’ delinquency, but low impulse control seems to be the most essential predictor.Ungdomskriminalitet är ett utbrett problem och vissa ungdomar är konstant inblandade i kriminella aktiviteter. Denna studie undersökte två typer av bredare personlighetsfaktorer förknippade med risker, benämnda ”Uppblåst Ego” och ”Låg Impulskontroll”, samt hur dessa var relaterade till kriminalitet och antisociala beteenden för pojkar och flickor. De data som använts kommer från ett stort sampel av ungdomar i åttonde och nionde klass i Örebro. Resultaten visade att de två faktorerna var relaterade på liknande sätt för både pojkar och flickor till en antisocial livsstil och brottslighet. Dock visade sig låg impulskontroll vara den övervägande riskfaktorn för en fortsatt kriminell bana. Sammanfattningsvis finns det inte bara en enda förklarande personlighetsfaktor bakom ungdomars brottslighet.

Full textAbstract:
The functioning of the family system has a substantial impact on youth social development and behavioral adjustment. Although the impact of parenting, specifically coercive parenting, and the influence of deviant peers are well-documented risk factors for child maladaptive behavior, less understood is how parents' satisfaction in their couple relationship influences family functioning and child outcomes. This study examined negative family conflict as an underlying mediating variable in the association between couple satisfaction and adolescents' future outcomes in a sample of 241 couples and their adolescent children (127 males and 114 females). Adolescents were an average age of 16 to 17 at the initial time point and they participated in follow-up one year later. Structural equation modeling on longitudinal data showed that the model fit the data well and that higher couple satisfaction was related to better future outcomes (defined as lower levels of future antisocial behavior). Higher couple satisfaction was also associated with lower levels of negative family conflict which predicted lower levels of adolescent future antisocial behavior (ASB). For all adolescents, findings also demonstrated that negative family conflict completely mediated the relationship between couple relationship satisfaction and adolescents' future ASB. Sex differences were found in these relationships when males and females were examined separately, especially related to couple dissatisfaction, which was directly predictive of male future ASB but not female future ASB.
This study supports existing research demonstrating that adolescents in families with poor couple satisfaction are more likely to engage in ASB than those whose parents reported higher levels of couple satisfaction. Furthermore, these findings highlight the mediating role of negative family conflict in the association between couple satisfaction and adolescents' future ASB. Findings from this study have implications for couples and family interventions. For instance, clinical intervention focused on enhancing couple satisfaction and reducing negative family conflict may promote better outcomes for children.

Full textAbstract:
The present study identifies processes contributing to variability in antisocial and prosocial behaviors in early adolescence. More specifically, we considered how perceived feedback from adults (i.e., adult praise) and peers (i.e., coolness) might account for some of the established associations between peer involvement in prosocial behaviors and an individual's engagement in prosocial and antisocial behaviors in the school context. Both adult praise and peer prosocial behavior are tested as predictors of school engagement and antisocial behavior in schools, with perceived feedback from peers (i.e., coolness) examined as both a mediator and moderator using multilevel analysis (MLM) in a statewide sub-sample (N=6,525) of 8th grade Middle School/Junior High students located in Southwestern United States. Results testing mediation indicate a significantly positive association between reports of peer prosocial behavior and individual's own involvement in prosocial behaviors, and a significantly inverse association between reports of peer prosocial behavior and individual's own antisocial behaviors. Perceived feedback from peers (i.e., coolness) only partially accounted for these associations. Conversely, results testing moderation indicated a significantly positive link between perceived feedback from adults (i.e., adult praise) and individual's own engagement in prosocial behaviors, and an inverse association between perceived feedback from adults (i.e., adult praise) and individual's own antisocial behaviors. No interaction effects were observed for perceived feedback from peers (i.e., coolness) on these associations. These findings extend literature regarding the processes through which peer involvement in prosocial behavior is linked to individual prosocial and antisocial behaviors. This study makes research advancements by considering the contributions of perceived feedback from both adults and peers that can both be significant during early adolescence. These results justify implications for practice and policy related to prevention/intervention efforts that include peer associations, since they matter for prosocial behavior.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigated (1) social status and shaming experiences in relation to aggressive behaviour and depression, and (2) gene-environment interactions between two genetic polymorphisms related to the serotonergic system – MAOA-VNTR and 5HTTLPR – and experiences of maltreatment in relation to delinquent behaviour and depression among adolescents. The four included studies are based on questionnaire data from the Survey of Adolescent Life in Vestmanland 2006 (SALVe-2006). A total of 5396 students in 9th (15-16 years old) grade of elementary school and 2nd (17-18 years old) grade of high school comprised the target population. The students in 2nd grade of high school also provided a saliva sample for gene extraction. There were strong associations between shaming experiences and both aggressive behaviour and depression. In addition, individuals who reported many shaming experiences and had either low or high social status had increased risks of physical aggression or depression, whereas medium social status seemed to have a protective effect. Gene-environment interactions were found between experiences of maltreatment and the MAOA-VNTR in relation to delinquent behaviour. Moreover, the direction of the gene-environment interaction differed depending on sex: boys with the short (S) variant of the MAOA-VNTR, in contrast to girls with the long (LL) variant, had the highest risk of delinquency in combination with maltreatment. Gene-environment interactions were also found between experiences of maltreatment and the 5HTTLPR in relation to depression among girls. The girls that were homozygous for the S allele (SS) had the highest risk of depression in combination with maltreatment. Among boys however, no gene-environment interaction was found between the 5HTTLPR and maltreatment in relation to depression. In conclusion, it is important to consider both genetic effects, and psychosocial factors such as social status, shaming experiences, and experiences of maltreatment when investigating different aspects of health and behaviour among adolescents.

A model of family influences on the development of antisocial behavior and scholar problems in adolescents is presented. Two-hundred four students of junior and high school were assessed. Data were analyzed through a structural equation model. Results showed that child abuse, a no cooperative family and mothers' alcohol consumption had a direct effect on antisocial behavior,which in turn promoted delinquen behavior and negatively affected school grades of students. Delinquency and mothers' alcohol consumption had an influence on students' school problems,which could be partially overturned by their social abilities. Results suggest the necessity of counselling for families in arder to prevent school problems and bad grades in adolescents.Se presenta un modelo de influencias familiares en el desarrollo de conducta antisocial, delictiva,rendimiento y problemas escolares en adolescentes. Doscientos cuatro estudiantes de educación secundaria y preparatoria fueron evaluados y sus respuestas se analizaron en un modelo estructural. Los resultados mostraron que el maltrato de los padres, el vivir en una familia no cooperativa y la ingesta de alcohol y drogas de la madre influía en el desarrollo de conducta antisocial, la cual promovía el comportamiento delictivo y afectaba negativamente el promedio escolar. La conducta delictiva y la ingesta de alcohol de la madre influían en los problemas escolares,los cuales podían ser parcialmente revertidos por las habilidades sociales de los jóvenes. Se observó la necesidad de orientación escolar a las familias para prevención.

Full textAbstract:
The current study was an investigation of the effectiveness of Functional Family Therapy (FFT) for improving the mental health, behavioral, and legal outcomes for justice-involved adolescents. A primary focus of the investigation was on whether Callous-Unemotional (CU) traits moderated the effects of treatment and whether therapists tailored the intervention to youths with these traits. The sample was 134 youths (15.34 years) who had been arrested and referred to a community mental health center for treatment by trained FFT therapists. Results indicated modest improvement over the course of treatment in the youths' emotional and behavioral functioning. CU traits were found to moderate treatment effects, wherein CU traits were associated with greater emotional and behavioral dysfunction prior to treatment, as well as greater improvement after treatment. However, CU traits also predicted greater self-reported, but not official reports, of delinquency at follow-up. Furthermore, results indicated some evidence for diverging treatment processes for youth with and without CU traits. Specifically, differences in response to changes in negative parenting varied between youth high and low on CU traits for some measures of emotional and behavioral functioning. Overall, FFT was found to be a promising treatment approach, but significant limitations in its effectiveness were also documented.

The purpose of this investigation was to examine whether sports in which boys participated spontaneously (i.e., not organized as a treatment) could be associated with the retrenchment of later adolescent delinquent behaviours. The objectives of this particular investigation were to: (i) observe how this participation might alter a negative behavioural developmental trajectory; and (ii) study the possible effects of transition in sports activity (i.e., increases or decreases in participation in sports from year to year) on current and later risk for delinquency.This investigation utilized data obtained from the Montreal Longitudinal-Experimental Study of Boys which started in 1984 when the boys were six years old. Seven-hundred-eleven of the subjects met the inclusion criteria necessary to participate in the present study. Each year, from 1989 (age 11) to 1995 (age 17) the subjects were asked to complete the Self-Report-Delinquency questionnaire, a 27-item scale detailing their involvement in antisocial behaviour over the previous 12-month period. The scores of four of these years were retained for study; namely, those for 1989 (age 11), 1991 (age 13), 1993 (age 15), 1995 (age 17). (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Full textAbstract:
This study tested the utility of three different models of personality, namely the social and personality model, the pathological personality traits model, and the psychological dysregulation model, in predicting overt aggression, relational aggression, and delinquency in a sample of detained boys (ages 12 to 18; M age = 15.31; SD = 1.16). Results indicated that the three personality approaches demonstrated different unique associations with aggression and delinquency. The psychological dysregulation approach, composed of behavioral dysregulation, emotional dysregulation, and cognitive dysregulation, emerged as the overall best predictor of overt aggression, relational aggression, and delinquency. After controlling for the Big Five personality traits, psychological dysregulation accounted for significant variance in overt aggression and delinquency, but not relational aggression. After controlling for callous-unemotional traits and narcissistic traits, psychological dysregulation also accounted for significant variance in overt aggression, relational aggression, and delinquency. Psychological dysregulation did not account for significant variance in aggression or delinquency after controlling for borderline traits. The pathological personality traits approach, comprised of callous-unemotional traits, narcissistic traits, and borderline traits performed second best. In particular, within this approach borderline traits accounted for the most unique variance, followed by narcissistic traits, then callous-unemotional traits. Borderline traits accounted for significant variance in overt aggression, relational aggression, and delinquency when controlling for the Big Five traits, but not after controlling for psychological dysregulation. Narcissistic traits only accounted for significant variance in overt aggression and relational aggression after controlling for the Big Five personality traits, but not after controlling for psychological dysregulation. CU traits only accounted for significant variance in overt aggression after controlling for the Big Five personality traits, but not after controlling for psychological dysregulation. The social and personality model, represented by the Big Five personality traits accounted for the least amount of variance in the prediction of aggression and delinquency, on its own, and when pitted against the other two personality approaches. The exception was that the Big Five personality traits accounted for significant variance in relational aggression beyond narcissistic traits, as well as psychological dysregulation. These findings have implications for assessment and intervention with aggressive and antisocial youth.
