Latzman, Robert David. "Interrelations among youth temperament, executive functions, and externalizing behaviors." Diss., University of Iowa, 2009. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/306.
Full textAbstract:
Substantial empirical literatures link executive functioning (EF) and temperament, respectively, to externalizing behaviors (e.g., hyperactivity, impulsivity, conduct problems), but they rarely have been considered jointly. As indices of presumed brain function, neither neuropsychological scores nor temperament traits alone are sufficient as a comprehensive developmental model of externalizing behaviors. The current study aimed to examine the triangular relation among temperament traits, EF, and externalizing behaviors in a community sample of male youth. Participants included 174 male youth 11 to 16 years (M =13.4; SD=1.4) and their mothers. Youth were administered a comprehensive battery of neuropsychological measures tapping the broad domain of executive functions and overall intellectual functioning and completed a personality measure assessing both primary traits and broad temperaments. Mothers reported on their son's temperament and behaviors. Results indicated that, as expected, high Negative Temperament and Disinhibition were associated with both youth and mother reports of externalizing behaviors, with similar cross-informant associations. Specific EF dimensions were correlated with both temperament and externalizing behaviors and provided an incremental contribution above and beyond temperament in explaining externalizing behaviors. Results of the study contribute to the extant literature concerning the dimension of externalizing and inform future research on developing a comprehensive etiological model of externalizing behaviors.

Full textAbstract:
Aggression is a heterogeneous behavior that has been conceptualized by two distinct but inter-related functions: proactive and reactive aggression (Dodge, 1991). Proactive aggression has been linked to externalizing behaviors and reactive aggression to internalizing behaviors (Vitaro, Gendreau, Tremblay, & Oligny, 1998). There has been some evidence to suggest that family environment may influence the relationship between the aggressive functions and the related forms of psychopathology (Dodge, 1991). However, given the limited research pertaining to the relationships among aggression, family environment, and subsequent psychopathology, the current study explored the nature of the relationships among these variables in more detail. The present study hypothesized that proactive aggression would be related to externalizing symptoms (delinquency, hyperactivity), and these relationships would be moderated by family conflict. In addition, it was predicted that reactive aggression would be related to internalizing symptoms and inattention, and these relationships would be moderated by family conflict, cohesion, and control. The study included a sample of 135 children and their parents who completed several self-report measures. Overall, the findings did not support the hypotheses, though there was mixed support for the relationship between the aggressive functions and internalizing and externalizing symptoms.Master of Science

Wu, Monica S. "Quality of Life and Burden in Caregivers of Youth with Severe Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder." Scholar Commons, 2017. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/6984.
Full textAbstract:
Pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a heterogeneous disorder associated with functional impairment and deleterious effects at the family level. Caregivers are often enmeshed in the disorder, coping with the child’s OCD-related distress and engaging in accommodating behaviors. Given the developmental level of these youth and the impactful nature of OCD, caregivers may experience considerable burden and decreased quality of life (QoL). However, extant literature on these constructs is largely limited to caregivers of patients with chronic illnesses, and the few existing studies examining OCD samples are limited to adult patients. As such, this study sought to examine burden and QoL in caregivers of youth enrolled in an intensive outpatient or partial hospitalization program for their severe OCD. Specifically, the relationships between caregiver QoL and burden and the following variables were investigated: OCD symptom severity, functioning (youth functional impairment, general family functioning), family (family accommodation, parental relationship satisfaction, positive aspects of caregiving), and comorbid psychopathology (caregiver anxiety and depressive symptoms, youth internalizing and externalizing behaviors). Seventy-two child and caregiver dyads participated in the study and completed a battery of clinician- and self-rated questionnaires. Different components of caregiver QoL correlated with caregiver-rated functional impairment, family accommodation, youth externalizing behaviors, and caregiver psychopathology. Various aspects of caregiver burden correlated with OCD symptom severity, functional impairment related to OCD, as well as caregiver and child comorbid psychopathology. Caregiver depressive symptoms predicted caregiver QoL, and caregiver depressive symptoms and child externalizing symptoms both predicted caregiver burden. Caregiver burden did not mediate the relationship between obsessive-compulsive symptom severity and caregiver QoL. Ultimately, elucidating factors associated with increased caregiver burden and poorer QoL are pertinent for the identification of at-risk families and development of targeted interventions.

Ruth, Corinne Elizabeth. "Parenting Skills as a Predictor of Youth Externalizing Outcomes in Routine Community Mental Health Services." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2017. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/6760.
Full textAbstract:
This study examined the relationship between perceived parenting skills and youth externalizing symptoms throughout the course of routine treatment of youth receiving services in a community mental health setting. Specifically, this study investigated whether changes in parenting skills were associated with changes in three dimensions of youth externalizing behaviors (behavioral dysfunction, interpersonal relations, social problems). Participants were 401 youth (aged 4-17, mean aged 10.7, 48% female) and their parents/guardians. At regular intervals throughout treatment, parents completed the Treatment Support Measure (TSM) to assess perceived parenting skills along with the Youth Outcome Questionnaire (Y-OQ) to assess youth externalizing symptoms. Hierarchical linear modeling analyses revealed that changes in perceived parenting skills were not significantly related to changes youth behavioral dysfunction, interpersonal relations, or social problems. However, parenting skills and all facets of externalizing significantly changed throughout the course of therapy and higher parenting skills were associated with lower levels of youth externalizing throughout therapy. Parenting skill appears to require further study as a key factor involved in youth psychotherapy outcomes in real world settings, especially in relation to youth externalizing symptoms.

Full textAbstract:
The current study utilized laboratory tasks (Connersâ Continuous Performance Test, CPT; Behavioral Inhibition Task, BIT) to examine the relationships among motivation, executive functioning, and parent and teacher-reported attention, internalizing, and externalizing problems in a clinical sample of 132 children with or without Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Combined Type (ADHD-C; 69% male, mean age = 9.88). Specificity was examined through total, unique, and interactive effects via hierarchical regression. Higher CPT scores (i.e., executive disinhibition) were related to greater externalizing problems in total and unique effect analyses, while a relationship between lower CPT scores (i.e., executive inhibition) and greater internalizing problems was found only in unique effect analyses. No significant effects were found for motivational inhibition (i.e., low BIT) or disinhibition (i.e., high BIT). ADHD-C was associated with greater attention and externalizing problems in total effect analyses, but only externalizing problems showed a significant relationship in unique effect analyses. Interactive effects were found for ADHD-C and executive functioning, as lower levels of CPT (i.e., executive inhibition) coupled with ADHD-C resulted in greater parent-reported attention problems. In addition, higher CPT scores (i.e., executive disinhibition) were associated with greater parent-reported externalizing problems in Non-ADHD-C children. Although some main effects were predicted, the interactive effects were somewhat surprising, particularly in relation to ADHD-C, executive inhibition, and parent-reported attention problems. Exploratory analyses revealed that this effect may have been due to greater internalizing problems in ADHD-C children at lower levels of CPT (i.e., executive inhibition). Results are discussed in relation to past studies and laboratory task validity.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
This study reported an Outcome Mediation Cascade evaluation of the Changing Lives Program (CLP), a positive youth intervention. This study examined the effects of participation in the CLP on positive outcomes (Personal Expressiveness and Well-Being) and negative outcomes (Internalizing and Externalizing problem behaviors) as mediated by Identity Distress. 137 females and 101 males comprised the sample of this study, which draws from archival data of adolescents in alternative high schools in Miami. Findings indicated that the hypothesized model fit the data (χ2 (11) = 14.544, p = .020; RMSEA = .04; CFI = .995; SRMR = .028). Findings also provided preliminary evidence consistent with the hypothesis that in addition to having effects on targeted positive outcomes, PYD interventions are likely to have progressive cascading effects on untargeted problem outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation consists of two studies designed to broaden our understanding of the impact of complex trauma on symptom profiles and outcomes of children in the child welfare system through the lenses of gender, development, and placement permanency. Data for both were obtained using the Child and Adolescent Strengths and Needs Comprehensive Assessment tool (CANS; Lyons, Gawron, & Kisiel, 2005) for youth ages 6 -17 years involved in the child welfare system. In Study 1, I examined symptom profiles of 3,446 youth to determine the ability of gender, age, ethnicity, trauma type, and other adversity variables to predict the following CANS domains: posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), emotional/ behavioral needs, risk behaviors, life domain functioning, and child strengths. Findings supported the hypothesis that males and females would exhibit a similar number and severity of PTSS subsequent to exposure to maltreatment, including complex trauma. Unique gender-specific developmental profiles of trauma exposure and symptomatology emerged. I concluded that the complex and dynamic interactions among gender, age, trauma experience, and psychosocial functioning are more complicated than can be elucidated in main effect or two-way interactions. It is therefore recommended that trauma researchers disaggregate analyses by gender in trauma research because the dynamics of trauma are different for males and females. In Study 2, I employed survival analyses to examine the ability of child characteristics, complex trauma exposure, and placement-related variables to predict placement disruption in a sample of 4,822 youth at high-risk for placement disruption. Older age, female gender, higher levels of externalizing behavior, and more prior placements increased risk for placement disruption, whereas longer time in care and type of out-of-home placement decreased risk for placement disruption in the sample. It is recommended that placement stability be directly targeted for those at higher risk through provision of intensive support to youth and their foster caregivers. Caseworkers should receive training about those subgroups most at-risk for placement disruption. Externalizing behavior and attachment, but not PTSS, mediated the relation between complex trauma and placement disruption. Intervention for youth with a history of complex trauma should focus on both attachment and externalizing behaviors.

Full textAbstract:
abstract: It is well-established that maternal depression is significantly related to internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems and psychopathology in general. However, research suggests maternal depression does not account for all the variance of these outcomes and that other family contextual factors should be investigated. The role of fathers beyond their simple presence or absence is one factor that needs to be further investigated in the context of maternal depression. The proposed study used prospective and cross-sectional analyses to examine father effects (i.e., paternal depression, alcohol use, involvement, and familism) on youth internalizing and externalizing symptoms within the context of maternal depression. The sample consisted of 405 Mexican-American families who had a student in middle school. Data were collected when the students were in 7th and 10th grade. Results from path analyses revealed that maternal depression significantly predicted concurrent youth internalizing symptoms in 7th and 10th grade and externalizing symptoms in 10th grade. In contrast, paternal depression was not related to adolescent symptomatology at either time point, nor was paternal alcoholism, and analyses failed to support moderating effects for any of the paternal variables. However, paternal involvement (father-report) uniquely predicted youth internalizing and externalizing symptoms over and above maternal depression in 7th grade. Youth report of paternal involvement uniquely predicted both internalizing and externalizing in 7th and 10th grade. Paternal familism uniquely predicted youth externalizing symptoms in 7th grade. The present findings support that maternal depression, but not paternal depression, is associated with concurrent levels of youth symptomatology in adolescence. The study did not support that fathers adjustment moderated (exacerbate or buffer) maternal depression effects. However, paternal involvement and paternal familism showed compensatory effects on youth symptomatology in concurrent analyses.Dissertation/Thesis

Full textAbstract:
Dissertação de Mestrado apresentada ao Instituto Superior de Psicologia Aplicada para obtenção de grau de Mestre na especialidade de Psicologia Clínica.A presente investigação quantitativa tem como objectivo determinar se existem diferenças entre rapazes e raparigas pré-adolescentes, quanto aos comportamentos agressivos, de oposição, e de externalização, referidos pelos próprios jovens. Procurámos também averiguar se existe alguma evolução destes mesmos comportamentos, dentro de cada género, durante o período da pré-adolescência. Para tal, administrou-se o questionário de competências sociais e de problemas de comportamento para adolescentes dos onze aos dezoito anos (original Youth Self-Report for ages 11-18, de Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001). Tal como o nome original indica, (“selfreport”), este questionário é um método de auto-avaliação, sendo os jovens a relatar os seus próprios comportamentos. Para a concretização deste estudo, constituiu-se uma amostra total de 313 préadolescentes (154 rapazes, e 159 raparigas) com idades compreendidas entre os 11 e os 14 anos. A recolha dos dados foi efectuada em escolas públicas dos concelhos de Oeiras, Lisboa, Almada, Portimão e Lagos. Os resultados encontrados vão no sentido de confirmar que existem diferenças significativas entre géneros, relativamente aos comportamentos de externalização e de oposição. No entanto, para a subescala comportamentos agressivos não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre géneros. Observámos que o aumento da idade é geralmente acompanhado por um aumento no relato dos comportamentos estudados.
This paper is a quantitative investigation with the goal of studying the differences between boys and girls on early adolescence in aggressive, rule-breaking and externalizing behaviours analysing their in self reports. It was also a goal for this investigation the search for an increase relation between the reporting externalizing problems and age in early adolescence for both genders. We used a questionnaire for social competences and behavioural problems for adolescents between eleven and eighteen years old, originally named “Youth Self Report for ages 11-18 of Achenbach and Rescorla, 2001). As the original name shows this is a self reporting method, where the adolescents do they own behaviour evaluation. For the realization of this study we built a sample of 313 early adolescents (154 boys and 159 girls) with ages between eleven and 14 years old. Data whore recollected in public schools in Oeiras, Lisboa, Almada, Portimão e Lagos. The results had shown once more the differences between girls and boys in the externalizing and breaking behaviours. Despite those contrasts, we didn’t find any evidence to reject the equality between genders in aggressive behaviours. We also identified a positive relation between age and self reports of the analysed behaviours.
