2 Special Thanks to: Richard Bell, Joan Vondra Kate Keenan, Emily Winslow Elizabeth Owens, Monica Garcia Erin Ingoldsby, Miles Gilliom Michael Schonberg, Michael Criss Daniel Nagin Staff of the Pitt Mother & Child Project Women, Infants, and Children Program National Institute of Mental Health

3 Aims Describe developmental model of early conduct problems Review support for components of model Briefly discuss implications for further basic and applied work

4 The Spread Of Antisocial Behavior

5 Child Effects Model

6 Parent Effects Model

7 Parent, Family, and Neighborhood

8  Increase in undirected anger  Walking to toddling Developmental Transformations: 12 to 24 Months

9 12-24 Months: Transition to Physical Mobility

10 Attachment Theory: Early Starting Conduct Problems (Ainsworth, Sroufe, Greenberg)  Sensitivity in 1 st two years promotes child compliance  By preschool age, parental requests should be honored differentially based on the quality of the parent-child relationship and the stakes for displeasing parents  Supports parents making investment in child early on

11 Patterson’s Early Starter Model PARENTS: Deficits in Family Management skills Coercive Cycles of Interaction CHILD Irritability, Hyperactivity

12 Child Factors Infancy Emotionally dysregulated, angry, demanding, irritable (Sanson & Prior) Toddlerhood Oppositional, undirected then directed aggression, uninhibited (Keenan & Shaw) Preschool Oppositional, aggressive (Campbell; Richman & Graham)

13 “ Rejecting” Parenting

14 “ Reactive” Parenting

15 “Proper” Parenting

16 Parenting Factors Infancy toPreschool- ToddlerhoodSchool-Age MaternalParental UnresponsivenessUninvolve- ment Hostile/RejectingHostile/ DisciplineRejecting Discipline

17 Siblings Matter

18 Why should sibling relations be important? First long-term peer relationship Sample of behavioral style with peer Does it represent a marker of behavior problems? If so, is it more than a marker?

21 Measurement Strategies Focus on observation of developmentally salient issues (e.g., maternal responsiveness & infant persistence at age 1, discipline practices at age 2) Assess in multiple contexts (e.g., home, lab, summer camp, school) with observations of target child interacting with parents, sibs, peers, best friends, and romantic partners Supplement observations with reports of family, child, and community risk factors using multiple family members, peers, best friends, romantic partners, teachers, school and official records

22 Measures High Chair Task at 1 yr: Maternal Responsiveness and Infant Persistence Child Noncompliance at 2 yrs: observed during clean-up task Behaviorial Inhibition at 2 yrs: In response to distressing gorilla sounds Parenting Practices at 1.5 & 2 yrs: Hostile/Rejecting based on molecular and global ratings during clean-up task Sibling Conflict at 5 yrs: Verbal and physical conflict between target child and closest-age sib during 1 hour directed play session Maternal Resources: HOME Acceptance (2 yrs.), Beck Depression Inventory (1.5 to 5 years), General Life Satisfaction (1.5 yrs.), and Parenting Daily Hassles (1, 5, 2, & 3.5 yrs.) Child IQ at 5.5 yrs: 4 subscales of the WPPSI-R Achenbach CBCL/TRF at 2, 3.5, 5, 6, & 8 yrs: Externalizing, Aggression, and other DSM-based factors Elliott Self-Report of Delinquency at 10, 11, 12, 15, 17 yrs.

33 Developmental Trajectories of Youth Antisocial Behavior Ages 10-17 4 group solution with highest BIC score, all posterior probabilities >.85

34 Trajectory Group Differences on Juvenile Court Petitions Low Stable -- 62% of sample: 25% High ‘Decreasing’ -- 5% of sample: 60% Late Increasing --10% of sample: 49% High Increasing -- 22% of sample:78%

35 Trajectory Group Differences based on Early Childhood Risk Factors Accounting for all other predictors in early childhood, Factors that discriminated high increasers from low stable: maternal depression at ages 1.5-3.5 years Factors that discriminated ‘high decreasing’ group: rejecting parenting and maternal depression

36 Functional Imaging Amygdala reactivity paradigm – angry, fearful, neutral and surprised faces 3T platform –Gradient echo EPI sequence: TR/TE = 2000/25msec –34 slices = 3 mm thick Processed using the GLM of SPM8 Individual contrast images of Faces > Shapes were entered into a second level random effects models Extracted individual values for the main effect of task for the cluster and maximum voxel and did analyses outside of SPM8 Methods: Assessing Threat

37 Amygdala reactivity and AB Trajectory Groups (N = 51)

38 Summary of Findings For boys, child and parenting precursors of serious antisocial behavior identifiable from 1.5-2 years of age -Emphasizes the salience of both child behavior and parental response to such behavior in the 2 nd year Factors that compromise parenting also related to persistence of conduct problems - Maternal depression, social support Implications and challenges for early identification and treatment - Multisystemic approach warranted - not child but dyad at risk

39 Continued Follow-Up of Sample during Early Adulthood Combine all data collected on youth adjustment and their social environments from birth to through adolescence with genetic data (collected at age 17) and to- be-collected brain function data (at ages 20 and 22) in relation to antisocial behavior and drug use during early adulthood Will also allow us to examine potential protective roles of quality of instrumental functioning (e.g., steady employment, higher education) and social relationships (e.g., stable and positive relationship with significant other) during the early 20’s
