Q

Developmental Course of Disruptive Behavior

A
  • Gradual onset ODD in preschool years
  • ODD –> CD (25%) –> ASPD (25-40%)
  • First onset during adolescence is rare (but then usually remits by adulthood)
  • CD + low SES = strong predictor of ASPD

Q

Frick article

A

Different pathways to conduct disorder

  • Adolescent onset: may be an exaggeration of normal teenage rebellion; less neuropsych deficits but more rebelliousness; might be better explained by family aspects/environment, less aggression/violence and less likely to show antisocial behavior as adult
  • Childhood onset: may show callous-unemotional traits or emotional and behavioral dysregulation
  • —Emotional and behavioral dysregulation: impulse control problems; feel bad after conduct problems; often paired with poor parenting; deficits in verbal intelligence; hostile attribution bias; mostly reactive forms of aggression
  • —-CU subtype: lack of guilt, lack of concern for others’ feelings, lack of concern about performance, shallow affect; maybe genetic/less strongly related to inconsistent parenting; reward-focused; more severe and aggressive pattern of behavior; deficits in processing of negative emotional stimuli; deficits in reactivity to signs of fear and distress in others
17
Q

Patterson article

A

Poor parental discipline –> Conduct problems –> Rejection by normal peers and/or academic failure –> Deviant peer group –> Delinquency

  • Variables leading to negative parenting: antisocial parents and grandparents, family demographics, family stressors
  • Families of antisocial children are characterized by harsh and inconsistent discipline, little positive parental involvement, and poor supervision
  • Control theory: views harsh discipline and lack of supervision as evidence for disrupted parent-child bonding; child lacking in internal control
  • Social-interactional perspective: family members directly train the child to perform antisocial behaviors; coercive behaviors directly reinforced by family members
  • Successful intervention possible for preadolescents with parent-training interventions
18
Q

Etiology: Biological Factors

A
  • Genetic: child twins not that different; genetics accounts for 40-50% variance
  • Physiological: autonomic/emotional underarousal; decreased skin conductance & HR
  • Neurochemical: abnormal levels of NTs
  • Neuroanatomical: frontal lobe and amygdala (hypoactive)
  • Neuropsychological: deficits in attention, lower IQ, memory and verbal reasoning, increased emotional reactivity
19
Q

Etiology: Child Predispositions

A
  • Difficult temperament
  • Reward Dominant theory: child overly focused on reward while ignoring cues to punishment
  • Hostile Attribution Bias: deficits in social information processing/social cognition; interpret neutral stimuli as hostile/negative
  • Callous/unemotional traits: associated with instrumental aggression; less sensitive to punishment; concerns with stigma
20
Q

Social Information Processing Model

A

Encode cues –> Interpret cues –> Clarify goals –> Response access –> Response decision –> Behavioral enactment –> Peer evaluation –> Restart
- Ex: lunch line & chocolate milk spilled down back; interpret as accident or on purpose; goal could be to clean up and eat lunch or to get revenge; response - might fight the kid & if kid fights back he may get reinforcement by peers and then get in trouble

21
Q

Etiology: Environmental Risk Factors

A
  • Family structure (single-parent households, marital conflict, large family size, young maternal age)
  • Parental psychopathology
  • Parenting behaviors (strict, harsh, inconsistent discipline; lack of involvement/supervision)
  • Multiple life stressor
  • Family insularity
  • Peer rejection/deviant peer group
  • Neighborhood & SES
22
Q

Patterson Coercive Family Process Model

A
  • Child noncompliance and aggressive behavior learned through negative reinforcement of coercive parent-child interactions
  • Aversive event (parent command) –> Child coercive response (whines/yells) –> Removal of aversive event (parent gives in); child’s coercive behavior reinforced
  • Escalation: Aversive event (parent command) –> Child response (whines/yells) –> Aversive Event 2 (parent raises voice) –> Child response 2 (yells louder) –> Aversive Event 3 (parents repeats command) –> Removal of child coercive response (child complies); now parent escalation reinforced
23
Q

Patterson Developmental Progression of Antisocial Behavior

A
  • Family and contextual factors cause disruption in effective parenting; leads to conduct problems and related problems, leading to ASB/delinquency.
  • — Family demographics/Grandparental traits/Family stressors –> Parental traits –> Disrupted family-management practices –> Child antisocial behavior
  • — See Patterson article for pathway from poor parenting to delinquency
  • Criticized as single pathway model, not addressing more serious delinquency/violence
24
Q

Loeber’s Cumulative Risk Model

A
  • Multiple risk factors (interchangeable/additive) result in ASB; more risk factors = greater risk of developing antisocial behavior
  • Fails to identify specific causal mechanisms, combinations of risk factors, or developmental processes disrupted
  • Large list of risk factors: child factors, family factors, school factors, peer factors, and neighborhood factors (see slide)
  • 3 pathways: overt pathway, covert pathway, authority conflict pathway (earlier onset)
25
Q

Antisocial Personality Disorder: location in DSM-5

A

Now listed in the disruptive/impulse-control section and the personality disorders section

26
Q

ASPD DSM-5 Criteria

A

Pervasive pattern of violation of and disregard for rights of others, occurring since age 15. 3+ of following:
- Repeated unlawful behavior
- Deceitfulness (lying, using aliases, conning)
- Impulsivity
- Irritability and aggression (repeated fights/assaults)
- Reckless disregard for safety of self/others
- Consistent irresponsibility (failure to sustain work or honor financial obligations)
- Lack of remorse
At least 18 years old; evidence of conduct disorder with onset before age 15

27
Q

Criticisms of ASPD Diagnostic Criteria

A
  • Age 15 criterion; what about late bloomers?

- Criteria are relatively non-specific & criminal

28
Q

ASPD and Psychopathy

A
  • Shift in DSM toward behavioral indicators, and away from psychopathy (and why behaviors occur)
  • Most psychopaths meet criteria for ASPD, but most with ASPD are not psychopaths
29
Q

ASPD Prevalence

A
  1. 2-3.3%
    - Higher rates with A/D populations
    - 3x more common in men (social bias?)
30
Q

ASPD Etiology

A
  • Genetic/Biological: impulsivity linked to frontal lobe deficits; emotional deficits tied to amygdala
  • Learning: attachment problems, dysfunctional families/criminal parents and siblings, physical abuse
  • Low SES and accompanying issues
  • Lower overall arousal
  • CU traits
  • Psychopathy?
31
Q

Scheepers article

A
  • CU traits included in DSM-5
  • Concerns with using specifier: difficult to observe some of the traits, stigmatization
  • Differentiating CU or not: genetic/biological basis of CU, different cognitive profiles
  • Amygdala hyporeactivity has been found in response to fearful faces in antisocial youth with CU traits
  • CU traits: environmental factors play a less dominant role; could explain why interventions are less effective
