Editorial: Are government early years learning and development frameworks evidence‐based? A scientist's perspective J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-17 Angelica Ronald
Not all young children attend nurseries, childminders or other group settings before they start school, but many do. It is common for countries to set out a framework to guide practice for early years providers (such as nurseries) to follow. The conundrum regarding these frameworks for young children is that proving evidence of a causal link between early environments and later outcomes is very challenging

The relationship between type, timing and duration of exposure to adverse childhood experiences and adolescent self‐harm and depression: findings from three UK prospective population‐based cohorts J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-13 Bushra Farooq, Abigail E. Russell, Laura D. Howe, Annie Herbert, Andrew D.A.C. Smith, Helen L. Fisher, Jessie R. Baldwin, Louise Arseneault, Andrea Danese, Becky Mars
BackgroundAdverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are well‐established risk factors for self‐harm and depression. However, despite their high comorbidity, there has been little focus on the impact of developmental timing and the duration of exposure to ACEs on co‐occurring self‐harm and depression.MethodsData were utilised from over 22,000 children and adolescents participating in three UK cohorts, followed

Childhood and adolescence outcomes in offspring to parents with bipolar disorder: the impact of lifetime parental comorbidity, parental sex, and bipolar subtype J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-25 Christine Takami Lageborn, Mengping Zhou, Marcus Boman, Arvid Sjölander, Henrik Larsson, Brian M. D'Onofrio, Erik Pettersson, Paul Lichtenstein, Mikael Landén
BackgroundOffspring of parents with bipolar disorder have increased risks of their own psychopathology. However, a large‐scale survey of psychiatric, somatic, and adverse social outcomes up to adulthood, which could aid in prioritizing and tailoring prevention, is lacking. It also remains to clarify how risks are modified by other parental factors.MethodsSwedish population registers were linked to

Parent–child coregulation as a dynamic system: a commentary on Wass et al. (2024) J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-17 Erika Lunkenheimer
In this commentary, I argue that including and operationalizing allostatic processes will become increasingly important in future research on parent–child biobehavioral coregulation. In particular, the conceptualization and modeling of dyadic oscillatory rhythms that align in expected ways with the child's developmental stage and that distinguish typical and atypical development will be useful in future

How a general vulnerability for psychopathology during adolescence manifests in young adults' daily lives J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-18 Robin N. Groen, Johanna T. W. Wigman, Melissa Vos, Marieke J. Schreuder, Marieke Wichers, Catharina A. Hartman
BackgroundThere is widespread interest in the general factor of psychopathology or ‘p factor’, which has been proposed to reflect vulnerability to psychopathology. We examined to what extent this ‘vulnerability’ is associated with dysregulations in affect and behavior that occur in daily life. As such we hoped to provide an account of how this vulnerability may be maintained.MethodsWe used data from

Adding to the neuroimmune network model: A commentary on Nusslock et al. (2024) J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-16 Aaron S. Heller
Work by many groups demonstrate links between peripheral markers of inflammation and symptoms of depression. Here, Nusslock and colleagues present an update to their neuroimmune network model to incorporate a developmental lens. They propose that specific neural circuits may be responsible for causing heightened inflammation. One principal circuit includes the amygdala and prefrontal cortex and is

Evaluating the sensitivity to threat and affiliative reward (STAR) model in relation to the development of conduct problems and callous‐unemotional traits across early adolescence J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Yael Paz, Emily R. Perkins, Olivier Colins, Samantha Perlstein, Nicholas J. Wagner, Samuel W. Hawes, Amy Byrd, Essi Viding, Rebecca Waller
BackgroundThe Sensitivity to Threat and Affiliative Reward (STAR) model proposes low threat sensitivity and low affiliation as risk factors for callous‐unemotional (CU) traits. Preliminary evidence for the STAR model comes from work in early childhood. However, studies are needed that explore the STAR dimensions in late childhood and adolescence when severe conduct problems (CP) emerge. Moreover, it

Editorial: ‘The people they are a changin’ – overview of the 2024 Annual Research Review J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Sara R. Jaffee
Two years ago, the title of my editorial (with thanks to Edmund Sonuga-Barke and Bob Dylan) was ‘The times they are a-changin’. This title was meant to highlight the paradigm shifts in the field reflected in the papers included in that year's Annual Research Review. This year's editorial is instead titled ‘The people, they are a-changin’. This is because, overwhelmingly, the papers in the 2024 Annual

Editorial Perspective: The paradox of precision health in early development – building large samples to yield individual‐level measures J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-04 Mark H. Johnson, Pasco Fearon, Andrew Pickles, Emily J.H. Jones
Precision health refers to the use of individualised biomarkers or predictive models to provide more tailored information about an individual's likely prognosis. For child psychiatry and psychology, we argue that this approach requires a focus on neurocognitive measures collected in early life and at large scale. However, the large sample sizes necessary to uncover individual‐level predictors are currently

Commentary on the power of predictability: patterns of signals in early life shape neurodevelopment and mental health trajectories J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-01 Sara R. Jaffee
As Davis and Glynn observe in the introduction to their review, early life adversity is a significant impediment to healthy child development. Whereas some theoretical accounts emphasize the sheer number of physical and psychosocial risk factors children experience (Evans, Li, & Whipple, Psychological Bulletin, 2013, 139, 1342), Davis and Glynn review a program of research that is aligned with models

Commentary: Early intervention for conduct problems as a child protection strategy – reflections on Nobakht et al. (2023) J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-01 David J. Hawes
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), including child maltreatment and interparental aggression, are known to have far‐reaching consequences for mental health across the lifespan. Emerging evidence, such as that reported by Nobakht et al. (Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2023), indicates that child conduct problems (e.g. oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder) may not only result

Annual Research Review: Neuroimmune network model of depression: a developmental perspective J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-01 Robin Nusslock, Lauren B. Alloy, Gene H. Brody, Gregory E. Miller
Depression is a serious public health problem, and adolescence is an ‘age of risk’ for the onset of Major Depressive Disorder. Recently, we and others have proposed neuroimmune network models that highlight bidirectional communication between the brain and the immune system in both mental and physical health, including depression. These models draw on research indicating that the cellular actors (particularly

Chronic oxytocin improves neural decoupling at rest in children with autism: an exploratory RCT J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-24 Kaat Alaerts, Matthijs Moerkerke, Nicky Daniels, Qianqian Zhang, Ricchiuti Grazia, Jean Steyaert, Jellina Prinsen, Bart Boets
BackgroundShifts in peak frequencies of oscillatory neural rhythms are put forward as a principal mechanism by which cross‐frequency coupling/decoupling is implemented in the brain. During active neural processing, functional integration is facilitated through transitory formations of “harmonic” cross‐frequency couplings, whereas “nonharmonic” decoupling among neural oscillatory rhythms is postulated

Annual Research Review: ‘There, the dance is – at the still point of the turning world’ – dynamic systems perspectives on coregulation and dysregulation during early development J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-23 Sam Wass, Emily Greenwood, Giovanni Esposito, Celia Smith, Isil Necef, Emily Phillips
During development we transition from coregulation (where regulatory processes are shared between child and caregiver) to self‐regulation. Most early coregulatory interactions aim to manage fluctuations in the infant's arousal and alertness; but over time, coregulatory processes become progressively elaborated to encompass other functions such as sociocommunicative development, attention and executive

Annual Research Review: The power of predictability – patterns of signals in early life shape neurodevelopment and mental health trajectories J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-20 Elysia Poggi Davis, Laura M. Glynn
The global burden of early life adversity (ELA) is profound. The World Health Organization has estimated that ELA accounts for almost 30% of all psychiatric cases. Yet, our ability to identify which individuals exposed to ELA will develop mental illness remains poor and there is a critical need to identify underlying pathways and mechanisms. This review proposes unpredictability as an understudied

Sleepless nights, sour moods: daily sleep-irritability links in a pediatric clinical sample J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-14 Jennifer M. Meigs, Miryam Kiderman, Katharina Kircanski, Elise M. Cardinale, Daniel S. Pine, Ellen Leibenluft, Melissa A. Brotman, Reut Naim
Sleep, or a lack thereof, is strongly related to mood dysregulation. Although considerable research uses symptom scales to examine this relation, few studies use longitudinal, real-time methods focused on pediatric irritability. This study leveraged an ecological momentary assessment (EMA) protocol, assessing bidirectional associations between momentary irritability symptoms and daily sleep duration

Editorial: Thinking outside the box – enhancing causal models of neurodevelopmental disorders J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-08 Kristina Moll
Neurodevelopmental disorders are best conceptualised as the result of multiple risk factors, which accumulate and determine the likelihood of reaching the threshold for fulfilling agreed diagnostic criteria. This multiple-risk framework allows the inclusion of research findings focusing on single disorders, while highlighting the need for extending and specifying existing causal models. Such specifications

Commentary: Integrative, multi-level explanatory models are needed to understand recent trends in sex, gender, and internalizing conditions, reflections on Keyes and Platt (2023) J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-08 Lilly Shanahan, William E. Copeland
Keyes' and Platt's (The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2023) review provides much-needed systematic evidence about why internalizing symptoms have increased and it clarifies the role of novel risk factors. The findings highlight that multiple factors at multiple levels are responsible for this phenomenon, many with small effects, within a complex interplay that is rarely well captured

Large-scale proteomics in the first trimester of pregnancy predict psychopathology and temperament in preschool children: an exploratory study J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-01-29 Jessica L. Buthmann, Jonas G. Miller, Nima Aghaeepour, Lucy S. King, David K. Stevenson, Gary M. Shaw, Ronald J. Wong, Ian H. Gotlib
Understanding the prenatal origins of children's psychopathology is a fundamental goal in developmental and clinical science. Recent research suggests that inflammation during pregnancy can trigger a cascade of fetal programming changes that contribute to vulnerability for the emergence of psychopathology. Most studies, however, have focused on a handful of proinflammatory cytokines and have not explored

Reduced prosocial motivation and effort in adolescents with conduct problems and callous-unemotional traits J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-01-29 Anne Gaule, Peter Martin, Patricia L. Lockwood, Jo Cutler, Matthew Apps, Ruth Roberts, Harriet Phillips, Katie Brown, Eamon J. McCrory, Essi Viding
Prosocial behaviours – acts that benefit others – are of crucial importance for many species including humans. However, adolescents with conduct problems (CP), unlike their typically developing (TD) peers, demonstrate markedly reduced engagement in prosocial behaviours. This pattern is particularly pronounced in adolescents with CP and high levels of callous-unemotional traits (CP/HCU) who are at increased

Between- and within-child level associations between externalizing and internalizing behavior problems in a nationally representative sample of US elementary school children J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-01-22 Yoonkyung Oh, Paul L. Morgan, Mark T. Greenberg, Tricia A. Zucker, Susan H. Landry
Both transactional and common etiological models have been proposed as explanations of why externalizing behavior problems (EBP) and internalizing behavior problems (IBP) co-occur in children. Yet little research has empirically evaluated these competing theoretical explanations. We examined whether EBP and IBP are transactionally related at the within-child level while also identifying antecedents

Are the diagnostic rates of autistic females increasing? An examination of state-wide trends J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-01-05 Clare Harrop, Brianne Tomaszewski, Orla Putnam, Claire Klein, Elena Lamarche, Laura Klinger
Autism has been considered a ‘male-dominant’ condition. However, recent research suggests that autistic females are underdiagnosed, misdiagnosed, and later diagnosed. Females may also have different and more nuanced behavioral profiles. To examine diagnosis rates of females, we used 20 years of state-wide data to characterize historical trends in the diagnosis of autism in females to determine whether

The roles of sensory hyperreactivity and hyporeactivity in understanding infant fearfulness and emerging autistic traits J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-01-03 Nisha Narvekar, Virginia Carter Leno, Greg Pasco, Jannath Begum Ali, Mark H. Johnson, Tony Charman, Emily J. H. Jones
Existing evidence indicates that atypical sensory reactivity is a core characteristic of autism, and has been linked to both anxiety (and its putative infant precursor of fearfulness) and repetitive behaviours. However, most work has used cross-sectional designs and not considered the differential roles of hyperreactivity and hyporeactivity to sensory inputs, and is thus limited in specificity.

Testing the social motivation theory of autism: the role of co-occurring anxiety J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-29 Eloise Bagg, Hannah Pickard, Manting Tan, Tim J. Smith, Emily Simonoff, Andrew Pickles, Virginia Carter Leno, Rachael Bedford
The Social Motivation Theory proposes that social reward processing differences underlie autism. However, low social motivation has also been linked to higher anxiety. Given the co-occurrence between autism and anxiety, it is possible that anxiety drives the association between social motivation and autistic characteristics. This study tests the mechanisms underlying the association between social

Editorial Perspective: Bridging the translational neuroscience gap in autism – development of the ‘shiftability’ paradigm J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-21 Tobias P. Whelan, Eileen Daly, Nicolaas A. Puts, Ekaterina Malievskaia, Declan G.M. Murphy, Grainne M. McAlonan
Clinical trials of pharmacological candidates targeting the core features of autism have largely failed. This is despite evidence linking differences in multiple neurochemical systems to brain function in autism. While this has in part been explained by the heterogeneity of the autistic population, the field has largely relied upon association studies to link brain chemistry to function. The only way

A network approach to the investigation of childhood irritability: probing frustration using social stimuli J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-20 Khalil I. Thompson, Clayton J. Schneider, Justin A. Lopez-Roque, Susan B. Perlman, Helmet T. Karim, Lauren S. Wakschlag
Self-regulation in early childhood develops within a social context. Variations in such development can be attributed to inter-individual behavioral differences, which can be captured both as facets of temperament and across a normal:abnormal dimensional spectrum. With increasing emphasis on irritability as a robust early-life transdiagnostic indicator of broad psychopathological risk, linkage to neural

Long-term associations between early attachment and parenting and adolescent susceptibility to post-traumatic distress in a South African high-risk sample J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-18 Katharina Haag, Sarah L. Halligan, Rachel Hiller, Sarah Skeen, Mark Tomlinson
It has been proposed that children and young people living in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are not only exposed more frequently to trauma but also have a higher likelihood of encountering traumas of greater severity than those living in high-income countries (HICs). This may lead to higher rates of post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). However, developmental pathways to risk or resilience

It takes a safe village to raise a child—a commentary on Dana McCoy et al. (2023) J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-16 Geert Jan Stams, Peer van der Helm
This commentary on the study by McCoy et al. (2023) examining the negative effects of neighborhood violence on the development of toddlers growing up in the city of São Paulo (Brazil) interprets these outcomes from the perspective of ecological system theory, modern brain research, and the prospect of resilience. We argue that societies should give children the opportunity to grow up in a safe and

Epidemiology with psychometric spirit: MoBa leads autism's interdisciplinary future—a commentary on Havdahl et al. (2023) J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-15 Brian Barger
Havdahl et al.'s (2023) Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa) skill loss study stands out for their creative consideration of scale items to gain a better understanding of skill loss/regression. This commentary outlines how the MoBa team continues to challenge the field by conducting “basic” measurement analyses with their public health longitudinal population data. Their creative

Stress exposure in at-risk, depressed, and suicidal adolescents J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-15 Jeremy G. Stewart, Diego A. Pizzagalli, Randy P. Auerbach
Stress exposure contributes to the onset, maintenance, and recurrence of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adolescents. However, the precise stress facets (e.g. chronicity, domain) most strongly linked to outcomes at different stages along the depression severity continuum remain unclear. Across two studies, chronic and episodic stressors were comprehensively assessed among: (a) healthy youth with
