We examined the predictive relation between childhood peer preference (i.e., the extent to which one is liked vs. disliked by peers) and the development of various EF skills (response inhibition, working memory, and global EF) from childhood to early adulthood within a diverse female sample enriched for ADHD. We sampled 140 girls diagnosed with ADHD in childhood and 88 neurotypical comparison girls, matched for age and race. Girls were 6-12 years old at baseline and followed for three additional waves across 16 years. Peer preference was assessed via sociometric interviews in childhood; EF data were collected at all waves via neuropsychological tests. Through multilevel modeling, we evaluated relations between childhood peer preference and the development of each EF skill from childhood to early adulthood, adjusting for ADHD diagnostic status, verbal IQ, and socioeconomic status. We found that lower peer preference in childhood (a) was associated with poorer global EF across development and (b) predicted significantly less improvement in response inhibition from childhood to adulthood. Childhood ADHD diagnostic status was also related to lower global EF and response inhibition across development, but unlike peer preference, ADHD was not predictive of differences in EF growth. Secondary analyses revealed that peer rejection, not acceptance, drove these core findings. Findings highlight the influence of childhood peer preference on EF development, particularly response inhibition. We discuss intervention implications.","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144162684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some critical steps have been recommended, including examining the structure of problematic gaming and exploring its comorbidity with generalized and social anxiety. To address these research aims, this study used network analysis, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally, to identify the most central symptoms of problematic gaming and elucidate the mechanisms underlying its co-occurrence with generalized and social anxiety in adolescents. A sample of 1893 Chinese adolescents (52.85% boys, 47.15% girls; Mage = 15.42 years, SD = 0.52) participated in a two-wave longitudinal study with a 12-month interval. The findings showed that giving up other activities, loss of control, tolerance, and continuation were the most central problematic gaming symptoms for both waves, as revealed by cross-sectional analyses. Moreover, the social anxiety symptom of social avoidance and distress-general was the most prominent in bridging different constructs across cross-sectional and longitudinal networks. The longitudinal findings further revealed that the generalized anxiety symptom of restlessness was closely connected to problematic gaming symptoms, indicating its influential role as a harmful mechanism underlying problematic gaming. Our results underscore the necessity to reconsider the criteria of problematic gaming. In addition, the symptoms of social avoidance and distress-general and restlessness can be prioritized as targets for preventing and treating problematic gaming in adolescents.","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144152076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both conditions are also associated with less optimal parenting behaviors. Despite the prevalence of this comorbidity, the combined effects of maternal depressive symptoms and ADHD on child development remain underexplored, particularly in early childhood, a critical period marked by heightened brain plasticity and reliance on external regulation. This study examines how maternal depression and ADHD symptoms jointly predict children's emotional and attentional development across the first two years of life. A sample of 156 mothers and children (51% boys) participated in a three-wave longitudinal study from pregnancy to two years postpartum. Maternal ADHD symptoms were reported during pregnancy, while depressive symptoms were reported at pregnancy, three months, and two years postpartum. At two years of age, child depressive symptoms were reported by mothers, and focused attention was observed during a structured play session. Findings revealed that the combination of high maternal ADHD and depressive symptoms in the perinatal period predicted the most significant difficulties in children at two years of age, including elevated depressive symptoms and reduced focused attention. Specifically, maternal depressive symptoms were associated with greater child depressive symptoms and lower focused attention only when maternal ADHD symptoms were elevated. These results highlight the compounding effects of maternal psychopathology on child development, emphasizing the importance of targeted support for children at heightened risk of emotional and cognitive impairments due to parental psychopathology.","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144095142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The benefits of physical activity may depend on other lifestyle habits, including screen time and sleep duration, but the mechanisms underlying these associations have not often been explored. Thus, the present study aimed to examine (1) the bidirectional associations between physical activity and depressive and anxious symptoms during adolescence while controlling for screen time and sleep, (2) whether these associations are mediated by screen time and sleep, and (3) sex differences. The variables used were mostly self-reported by participants of the Québec Longitudinal Study of Child Development at ages 13, 15 and 17 (N = 1556). Random intercept crosslagg panel models and multigroup analyses were conducted. A high level of physical activity significantly but weakly predicted a low level of depressive symptoms from 15 to 17 in girls and boys. Physical activity was also associated with less screen time in girls aged 13 to 15, and in everyone aged 15 to 17. No associations between physical activity and anxious symptoms were found significant. The sample is more representative of White Quebec adolescents from a higher socioeconomic status, from 2011 to 2015. In conclusion, among all life habits, promotion of physical activity should be a part of prevention efforts for depression in youth, especially among older adolescents. Physical activity could also be promoted to reduce screen time in adolescents, and earlier for girls.","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144086617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One promising area of research has focused on sleep disturbances as an acute and proximal risk factor for depression and SITBs. However, little of this research has focused on children prior to adolescence or incorporated designs that enable us to disentangle the directionality of the associations between these constructs. The current study explored the temporal dynamics and directionality of the association between sleep disturbances and psychological symptoms, including depression, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm behaviors in a sample of preadolescents enriched for a history of early childhood mood disorders. Participants completed weekly electronic assessments for one year to examine week-by-week associations between sleep disturbances (i.e., trouble sleeping and fatigue) and depression, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm behaviors. Both trouble sleeping and fatigue were found to predict and precede increased depression severity, and trouble sleeping predicted endorsement of self-harm behaviors the following week, even when controlling for prior depression severity and self-harm behaviors, respectively. There was no evidence for the reverse association (i.e., depression severity or self-harm behaviors predicting subsequent sleep disturbances). Our findings provide the first evidence for a temporal and directional association between sleep disturbances and subsequent depression severity and self-harm behaviors in preadolescents. These findings highlight the potential utility targeting sleep within existing treatments for depression and self-harm behaviors in preadolescents.","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144044392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, relatively little research has explored how trauma exposure and amygdala structure and function combine to shape callous-unemotional traits. We assessed maltreatment exposure and callous-unemotional traits at two timepoints in children and adolescents who were aged 8-16 years at baseline (54.37% Male, 45.63% Female). We also used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess amygdala volume and activation in a subset of these youths at baseline (N = 161) and 18 months later (N = 117) using both linear and non-linear approaches. At baseline, maltreatment exposure and callous-unemotional traits were both independently associated with reduced right and left amygdala volume. Lower amygdala volume at baseline and maltreatment exposure independently predicted increases in callous-unemotional traits 18 months later. However, the effect of maltreatment on callous-unemotional traits was not mediated by amygdala volume. We find that accounting for maltreatment and amygdala volume, but not amygdala activation, improves the prediction of future callous-unemotional trait severity. These findings provide the first longitudinal evidence that maltreatment and lower amygdala volume independently predict worsening callous-unemotional traits in high-risk youths.","PeriodicalId":36218,"journal":{"name":"Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143988344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditionally, assessments of IJA have focused on visual and auditory means of communication. Recent research has expanded the understanding of joint attention to include tactile interactions. To investigate the early development of IJA in toddlers, particularly focusing on the differences in sensory modalities, we conducted a prospective study tracking 60 toddlers (30 males) up to 36 months of age, including 16 who were later diagnosed with ASD. We used videos taken during the administration of Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales-Developmental Profile to code for IJA corresponding to different sensory modalities. During the second year of life, autistic children displayed lower frequencies of visual, auditory, and combined visual-auditory IJA compared to typically developing peers. Conversely, autistic children exhibited higher frequencies of tactile IJA. Notably, the frequencies of tactile IJA at 12 months were correlated with social symptoms at 24 months, showing a positive correlation across all participants and a negative correlation specifically within the ASD group. These results suggest that differences in the use of different sensory modalities of IJA may influence the development of future social communication abilities.
