67. How has the societal view of children changed throughout history and who were some of the major historical figures responsible for these changes?

ANSWER:

Early writings suggest that children were considered servants of the state in the city-states of early Greece. Ancient Greek and Roman societies believed that any person—young or old— with a physical or mental handicap, disability, or deformity was an economic burden and a social embarrassment, and thus was to be scorned, abandoned, or put to death. Today we recognize children as valuable, independent of any other purpose, to help them develop normal lives and competencies. Some of the major influences were Freud, Watson, and Locke.

Compare and contrast various childhood risk factors that increase a child’s vulnerability for developing a psychological disorder.

ANSWER:

Children who face many known risk factors, such as community violence and parental divorce, are vulnerable to abnormal development. Acute, stressful situations as well as chronic adversity put children’s successful development at risk. Chronic poverty, serious care-giving deficits, parental mental illness, divorce, homelessness, and racial prejudice are known risk factors that increase children’s vulnerability to psychopathology—especially in the absence of compensatory strengths and resources.

ANSWER:

In 2007, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a new convention to protect the rights of persons with disabilities around the world. This convention represents an important shift from addressing the “special needs” of children to realizing their rights and removing the physical, linguistic, social, and cultural barriers that remain. Countries that ratify the convention agree to enact laws and other measures to improve disability rights, and also to abolish legislation, customs, and practices that discriminate against persons with disabilities.

74. Define the concept of competence. How may competence be assessed?

ANSWER:

Definitions of abnormal child behavior must consider the child’s competence—that is, the ability to successfully adapt in the environment. Developmental tasks, which include broad domains of competence such as conduct and academic achievement, tell how children typically progress within each domain as they grow. Knowledge of the developmental tasks provides an important backdrop for considering a child or adolescent’s developmental progress and impairments.

ANSWER:

A risk factor is a variable that precedes a negative outcome of interest and increases the chances that the outcome will occur.

What are some of the key factors affecting rates and expression of mental disorders?

ANSWER:

New pressures and social changes may place children at increasing risk for the development of disorders at younger ages (Obradovic et al., 2010). Many stressors today are quite different from those faced by our parents and grandparents. Some have been around for generations: chronic poverty, inequality, family breakup, single parenting, and so on. Others are more recent or are now more visible: homelessness, adjustment problems of children in immigrant families, inadequate child care available to working parents, and conditions associated with the impact of prematurity, parental HIV, and cocaine or alcohol abuse on children’s growth and development.

ANSWER:

Resilience in boys is associated with households in which there is a male role model (such as a father, grandfather, or older brother); structure; rules; and some encouragement of emotional expressiveness. In contrast, girls who display resilience come from households that combine risk taking and independence with support from a female caregiver.

ANSWER:

Children from certain ethnic and racial groups in the United States are overrepresented in rates of some disorders, such as substance abuse, delinquency, and teen suicide (Nguyen et al., 2007). However, once the effects of socioeconomic status (SES), sex, age, and referral status are controlled for (i.e., the unique contributions of these factors are removed or accounted for), few differences in the rate of children’s psychological disorders emerge in relation to race or ethnicity.

According to several large surveys of LGBT youths in middle and high schools, they are more likely to be victimized by their peers as well as by family members, and they report more bullying, teasing, harassment, and physical assault than other students.

Compare and contrast the factors that are most associated with the standard of “normal” behavior between adults and children. How are the standards of “normal” differently assessed for children as compared to adults and what are some potential problems with a system that involves an arbitrary standard for determining who is normal versus abnormal?

ANSWER:

The current system involves an arbitrary line that determines normal versus abnormal behavior that can lead to problems with labels, stigma, incorrect diagnosis, and ineffective treatments.

Adult patterns of abnormal behavior include personal distress, impairment of daily function, and increased risk of harm to self or others. Childhood abnormal behavior is assessed in terms of developmental pathways, which include reviewing various domains of competency, resiliency, and risk factors that may increase vulnerability. The process for both children and adults involves agreement about particular patterns of behavior, emotional and physical symptoms show by the individual.

Compare and contrast the psychoanalytic perspective with behaviorism. Discuss the key figures associated with each area of psychology and major theories. Identify the perspective that has contributed the most to current treatments for childhood psychological disorders.

ANSWER:

Freud is most associated with psychoanalytic theory, which asserted that behaviors are the result of unresolved, unconscious conflicts. Freud is the first to associate childhood experiences with mental disorders. Behaviorism includes theories that highlight the influence of the environment on behavior and include classical conditioning. Pavlov, Watson, and Skinner are most associated with this perspective. The development of evidence-based treatments are most associated with behaviorism.

61. Discuss the three major underlying assumptions regarding abnormal child behavior.

ANSWER:

The first underlying assumption is that abnormal child behavior is multiply determined. Thus, we have to look beyond the child’s current symptoms and consider developmental pathways and interacting events that, over time, contribute to the expression of a particular disorder. The second assumption extends the influence of multiple causes by stressing how the child and environment are interdependent—how they influence each other. This concept departs from the tradition of viewing the environment as acting on the child to cause changes in development, and instead argues that children also influence their own environment. In simple terms, the concept of interdependence appreciates how nature and nurture work together and are, in fact, interconnected. Few psychological disorders or impairments suddenly emerge without at least some warning signs or connections to earlier developmental issues. This connection is apparent, for example, in early-onset and persistent conduct disorders, with which parents and other adults often see troublesome behaviors at a young age that continue in some form into adolescence and adulthood.

Distinguish between continuous and discontinuous patterns of behavior development. Which category would an eating disorder fall? Which category would persistent conduct disorders fall?

ANSWER:

Continuity implies that developmental changes are gradual and quantitative (i.e., expressed as amounts that can be measured numerically, such as weight and height changes) and that future behavior patterns can be predicted from earlier patterns. Discontinuity, in contrast, implies that developmental changes are abrupt and qualitative (i.e., expressed as qualities that cannot be measured numerically, such as changes in mood or expression) and that future behavior is poorly predicted by earlier patterns.An eating disorder is discontinuous. Persistent conduct disorder is continuous

ANSWER:

This question has provoked different theories and agonized many parents who are concerned about their children’s early development. For instance, if early brain functions are unlikely to change, this implies that early experiences set the course for lifetime development. Freud’s similar contention implied that an individual’s core personality is formed from an early age, which sets the pace and boundaries for further personality formation.

ANSWER:

Benzodiazepine-GABA reduces arousal and moderates emotional responses, such as anger and hostility; it is implicated in anxiety disorder. Dopamine may act as a switch that turns on various brain circuits, allowing other neurotransmitters to inhibit or facilitate emotions or behavior and is implicated in schizophrenia, mood disorders, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Norepinephrine facilitates or controls emergency reactions and alarm responses; it plays a role in emotional and behavioral regulation, but is not directly implicated with any specific disorder. Serotonin plays a role in information and motor coordination, and is implicated in regulatory problems, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, and mood disorders.

ANSWER:

Emotion reactivity refers to individual differences in the threshold and intensity of emotional experience, which provide clues to an individual’s level of distress and sensitivity to the environment. Emotion regulation, on the other hand, involves enhancing, maintaining, or inhibiting emotional arousal, which is usually done for a specific purpose or goal.

ANSWER:

Positive affect and approach. This dimension describes the “easy child,” who is generally approachable and adaptive to his or her environment and possesses the ability to regulate basic functions of eating, sleeping, and elimination relatively smoothly.

Fearful or inhibited. This dimension describes the “slow-to-warm-up child,” who is cautious in his or her approach to novel or challenging situations. Such children are more variable in selfregulation and adaptability and may show distress or negativity toward some situations.

Negative affect or irritability. This dimension describes the “difficult child,” who is predominantly negative or intense in mood, not very adaptable, and arrhythmic. Some children with this temperament show distress when faced with novel or challenging situations, and others are prone to general distress or irritability, including when limitations are placed on them.

72. Provide everyday examples of positive and negative reinforcement, extinction, and punishment.

ANSWER:

An example of positive reinforcement would be a mother giving a child a special treat if the child behaved in the store. Negative reinforcement would occur when you get in your car and buckle your seatbelt in order to stop the beeping noise. If I got sick on a certain food and was then conditioned to avoid it because it caused nausea, extinction would occur when I no longer pair the sickness with the food and can eat it again. Positive punishment is an active process— doing something to someone like assigning extra chores.

ANSWER:

Each model is restricted in its ability to explain abnormal behavior to the extent that it fails to incorporate important components of other models. Fortunately, such disciplinary boundaries are gradually diminishing as different perspectives take into account important variables derived from other models. Over time, major theories of abnormal child psychology have become compatible with one another. Rather than offering contradictory views, each theory contributes one or more pieces of the puzzle of atypical development. As all the available pieces are assembled, the picture of a particular child or adolescent disorder becomes more and more distinct.

74. Discuss the main principles of a developmental psychopathology perspective.

ANSWER:

Developmental psychopathology is an approach to describing and studying disorders of childhood, adolescence, and beyond in a manner that emphasizes the importance of developmental processes and tasks. This approach provides a useful framework for organizing the study of abnormal child psychology around milestones and sequences in physical, cognitive, social–emotional, and educational development. It also uses abnormal development to inform normal development, and vice versa (Cicchetti, 2006; Hinshaw, 2013). Simply stated, developmental psychopathology emphasizes the role of developmental processes, the importance of context, and the influence of multiple and interacting events in shaping adaptive and maladaptive development. We adopt this perspective as an organizing framework to describe the dynamic, multidimensional process leading to normal or abnormal outcomes in development.

ANSWER:

Relationships between variables may not be as straightforward as they seem. Complex interactions and combinations of variables can significantly influence what seems to be a simple cause-and-effect relationship. Parents and professionals may interpret and relate information according to their own beliefs, biases, and preconceived notions, which may influence their interpretations of facts.

ANSWER:

Proponents of qualitative research believe that it provides an intensive and intimate understanding of a situation that is rarely achieved in quantitative research (Denzin & Lincoln, 2011). Qualitative methods, such as the use of examples or stories, may be particularly engaging to children and enable the discussion of sensitive topics, while allowing the children a sense of control over the research situation.

63. Why is it difficult to use true experimentation to study child psychopathology?

ANSWER:

Most variables of interest in child psychopathology cannot be manipulated directly, including the nature or severity of the child’s disorder, parenting practices, or genetic influences. As a result, much of the research conducted on children with problems and their families relies on nonexperimental, correlational approaches.

Distinguish between interviews, questionnaires, and observations as measurement methods.

ANSWER:

Questionnaires are highly structured, whereas interviews and observations can vary from structured to more loosely structured situations and responses. However, questionnaires require significantly less time and other resources for administration compared to observations and interviews. Sources of bias with interviews and questionnaires rests with participants, but with researchers almost exclusively in observational studies. Finally, data reduction methods require significant and complex systems of analysis for both interviews and observations, but can be more standardized for questionnaires.

66. Distinguish between prospective and retrospective research.

ANSWER:

In a retrospective design, individuals who have shown a particular outcome of interest are identified. Assessments focus on characteristics in the past. While data are immediately available, these data are highly susceptible to bias and distortion in recall. In real-time prospective designs, the research sample is identified and then followed over time, with data collection occurring at specific intervals. The benefit of prospective designs is that problems relating to bias and distortion are minimized as data are collected in real time and are not subject to the recall biases of observers.

Describe a study in which you would use a qualitative approach. Be sure to indicate why it would be beneficial to use a qualitative approach in your study.

ANSWER:

A study that looked at victims of child sexual abuse would benefit from qualitative study.

Qualitative methods, such as the use of examples or stories, may be particularly engaging to children and enable the discussion of sensitive topics, while allowing the children a sense of control over the research situation.

68. What ethical and pragmatic issues must be considered when conducting research with children?

ANSWER:

Although researchers are obligated to use nonharmful procedures, exposing the child to mildly stressful conditions such as a brief separation from their parent or exposure to an anxietyproducing stimulus may be necessary in some instances if benefits associated with the research are to be realized. Children are more vulnerable than adults to physical and psychological harm, and their immaturity may make it difficult or impossible for them to evaluate exactly what research participation means. In view of these realities, precautions must be taken to protect children’s rights during the course of a study.

ANSWER:

Two types of functional imaging procedures are functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron-emission tomography (PET). fMRI is a form of MRI that registers neural activity in functioning areas of the brain. By doing so, it can show which brain areas are active during particular mental operations, such as solving a specific type of problem or reacting to a fearinducing stimulus.

70. Explain the benefits and limitations of the case study. Why is the case study important in abnormal child psychology?

ANSWER:

Case studies yield narratives that are rich in detail and provide valuable insights into factors associated with a child’s disorder. Nevertheless, they also have drawbacks. They are typically viewed as unscientific and flawed because they are characterized by uncontrolled methods and selective biases, by inherent difficulties associated with integrating diverse observations and drawing valid inferences among the variables of interest, and by generalizations from the particular child of interest to other children. Hence, case studies have been viewed primarily as rich sources of descriptive information that provide a basis for subsequent testing of hypotheses in research using larger samples and more controlled methods. They may also provide a source for developing and trying out new treatment methods. Despite their unscientific nature, there are compelling reasons why systematically conducted case studies are likely to continue to play a useful role in research on childhood disorders. First, some childhood disorders, such as childhood-onset schizophrenia, are rare, making it difficult to generate large samples of children for research. Second, the analyses of individual cases may contribute to the understanding of many striking symptoms of childhood disorders that either occur infrequently or are hidden and therefore difficult to observe directly. Third, significant childhood disturbances such as post-traumatic stress disorder (see Chapter 12) often develop as the result of a natural disaster, severe trauma, or abuse. These extreme events and circumstances are not easily studied using controlled methods.

ANSWER:

Practical concerns include obtaining and maintaining research funding and resources over many years and the long wait for meaningful data. Design difficulties relate to aging effects and cohort effects. Aging effects are general changes that occur because as participants age there are increases in physical prowess, impulse control, or social opportunity. Cohort effects are influences related to being a member of a specific cohort—a group of individuals who are followed during the same time and experience the same cultural or historical events.

72. How can qualitative and quantitative research methods be used in complementary ways?

ANSWER:

Qualitative methods can be used to identify important dimensions and theories that can then be tested quantitatively. Alternatively, qualitative case studies may be used to illuminate the meaning of quantitatively derived findings (Guerra et al., 2011). In addition, if qualitative data have been reduced to numbers through word counts or frequency counts of themes, the data can be analyzed using quantitative methods.

ANSWER:

The differences between scientific and pseudoscientific claims are not simply whether or not they are based on evidence (Finn, Bothe, & Bramlett, 2005). As we discuss later in this chapter, it is the quality of the evidence, how it was obtained, and how it is presented that are crucial in evaluating whether claims are scientifically believable. Scientists are certainly capable of making incorrect claims. What distinguishes them from pseudoscientists is that they play by the rules of science, are prepared to admit when they are wrong, and are open to change based on new evidence.

74. Discuss how cultural differences can impact data collection and research outcomes for childhood disorders.

ANSWER:

The rate and expression of childhood symptoms and disorders often vary in relation to demographic and situational factors, such as socioeconomic status (SES) (e.g., the social, economic, and physical environment in which the child lives as reflected in measures such as family income, education, or occupation); parents’ marital status; and the child’s age, gender, and cultural background, to name but a few. Consequently, these variables must be assessed and controlled in most studies.

ANSWER:

By assigning participants to groups on the basis of the flip of a coin, numbers drawn from a hat, or a table of random numbers, the chance is increased that characteristics other than the independent variable will be equally distributed across treatment groups.

61. Distinguish between idiographic and nomothetic case formulations, and indicate when each of these formulations is useful.

ANSWER:

The focus of clinical assessment is to obtain a detailed understanding of the individual child or family as a unique entity (e.g., Felicia and her family), referred to as “idiographic case formulation.” This is in contrast to a nomothetic formulation, which emphasizes broad general inferences that apply to large groups of individuals (e.g., children with a depressive disorder).

63. What are cultural syndromes? Why are they important for clinicians to be aware of in relation to understanding symptoms in children? Provide one example of a cultural syndrome and the symptoms that the clinician may see exhibited by the child.

ANSWER:

Cultural syndromes refer to a pattern of co-occurring, relatively invariant symptoms associated with a particular cultural group, community, or context (APA, 2013). For example, mal de ojo or the “evil eye” is a concept that is widespread throughout Mediterranean cultures and Latino communities throughout the world. It is a malady to which children are especially vulnerable and believed to be caused by a hateful look or glance from a malicious person; the evil eye can cause fitful sleep, crying without apparent cause, diarrhea, vomiting, and fever in children.

Cultural syndromes rarely fit neatly into one Western diagnostic category (Alarcón, 2009). In addition, although the cross-cultural validity of Western diagnostic criteria varies widely depending on the disorder, data regarding their validity across cultures for many childhood disorders are lacking (Canino & Alegria, 2008). Therefore, it is important that clinicians assess the extent to which a child’s cultural background and context affect the expression of both individual symptoms and clinical disorders.

Describe three ways that a therapist can strive to provide culturally competent mental health services.

ANSWER:

Culturally competent children’s mental health services may be provided in a number of ways.

For example, in therapy for Hispanic children and adolescents, cultural competence may be achieved by matching children and families with clinicians of the same ethnicity; by customizing the treatment to Hispanic cultural values, beliefs, and customs (e.g., familism, spiritualism, and respeto); or by incorporating ethnic and cultural narratives and role-play into therapy.

65. What considerations must be taken into account when making judgments about abnormality?

ANSWER:

Usually, the age inappropriateness, severity, and pattern of symptoms, rather than individual symptoms, define childhood disorders. Also, the extent to which symptoms result in impairment in the child’s functioning is a key consideration.

Under what circumstances would a clinician choose to administer a semistructured versus an unstructured interview?

What are the benefits and/or drawbacks of each?

ANSWER:

Most interviews with children and parents are unstructured. Clinicians use their preferred interview style and format, as well as their knowledge of the disorder, to pursue various questions in an informal and flexible manner. Unstructured clinical interviews provide a rich source of clinical hypotheses. However, their lack of standardization may result in low reliability and selective or biased gathering of information. To address this problem, clinicians sometimes use semistructured interviews that include specific questions designed to elicit information in a relatively consistent manner regardless of who is conducting the interview. The format of the interview usually ensures that the most important aspects of a particular disorder are covered. An appealing feature of semistructured interviews, especially for older children and youths, is that they can be administered by computer, something many children find entertaining and often less threatening at first than a face-to-face interview. The semistructured format also permits the clinician to follow up on issues of importance that may emerge during the interview. For younger children, a semistructured interactive interview using hand puppets may provide useful information about the child’s emotional, behavioral, and peer problems (Ringoot et al., 2013). The consistency and coverage of semistructured interviews may be offset by a loss of spontaneity between the child and the clinician, especially if the interview is conducted too rigidly.

71. Name and describe four psychological tests commonly used when assessing children.

ANSWER:

Developmental tests are used to assess infants and young children, and are generally carried out for the purposes of screening, diagnosis, and evaluation of early development. Evaluating a child’s intellectual and educational functioning is a key ingredient in clinical assessments for a wide range of childhood disorders. Projective tests present the child with ambiguous stimuli such as inkblots or pictures of people, and the child is asked to describe what she or he sees.

Personality is usually considered an enduring trait or pattern of traits that characterize the individual and determine how he or she interacts with the environment (Roberts & DelVecchio, 2000). In the clinical context, neuropsychological assessment attempts to link brain functioning with objective measures of behavior known to depend on an intact central nervous system.

Discuss three reasons why IQ scores have been rising.

ANSWER:

In attempting to explain the Flynn effect, scientists have considered the rising standards of living, better schooling, better nutrition, medical advances, more stimulating environments, and even the influence of computer games and complex toys. Additionally, relatively permissive and child-focused parenting style has emerged during recent decades, which may have given children greater facility with language and stronger overall cognitive capacity. Moreover, there are unprecedented cultural differences between successive generations—daily life and occupational experiences are far more complex today than in the past.

63. Trace the origins and development of the Eugenics movement in the nineteenth century, including causes of popularity of the movement as well as emphasis on labels such as “imbecile” and “moron.”

ANSWER:

Evolutionary degeneracy theory attributed the intellectual and social problems of children with intellectual disability to regression to an earlier period in human evolution. Researchers such as Down believed that persons with intellectual disability were an evolutionary throwback to the Mongol race, and that such individuals represented a “retrogression” to another group.

Evolutionary degeneracy theory served as an explanation for insanity, mental deficiency, and social deviance in the late nineteenth century. By 1910, eugenics gained popularity as the needs of individuals with intellectual disabilities became less important than the perceived needs of society; that is, to protect others from the harm done by such individuals. Thus, people with intellectual disabilities were blamed for the social ills of their time and given such labels as moral imbecile or moron to describe and explain these differences. Morons were considered a threat to society because they could easily pass for “normal,” unlike others deemed to be insane.

Discuss the different reasons why more males than females are diagnosed with intellectual disability.

ANSWER:

Similar to racial differences in the diagnosis of intellectual disability, gender differences in ID may be an artifact of identification and referral patterns rather than true differences in prevalence (Einfeld et al., 2010). If a true male excess of intellectual disability does exist, researchers suspect this may be due to the occurrence of X-linked genetic disorders such as fragile-X syndrome, which affect males more often than females (Handen, 2007).

65. Discuss the connection between SES and intellectual disability.

ANSWER:

This link is found primarily among children in the mild intellectual disability range; children with more severe levels are identified almost equally in different racial and economic groups.

Whether or not signs of organic etiology are present, diagnoses of mild intellectual disability increase sharply from near zero among children from higher SES categories to about 2.5% in the lowest SES category (APA, 2000). These figures indicate that SES factors play a suspected role both in the cause of intellectual disability and in the identification and labeling of persons with intellectual disability.

ANSWER:

The diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) requires the presence of behavioral disturbance that is inappropriate for an individual’s developmental level. Attention spans, distractibility, and on-task behaviors vary considerably among individuals with profound intellectual disability. An individual with profound intellectual disability must be compared with other children with profound intellectual disability for the purpose of diagnosing any other psychiatric disturbance.

73. Describe how you would use shaping to teach a nonverbal child to say “hungry.”

ANSWER:

Shaping is a procedure that begins by forming a list of responses (such as “he,” “ha,” “hu”) that were progressively more similar to the target response (in this case, the word hungry).

After an individual mastered the first sound, she would be reinforced only for attempts at the next sound on the list, and so on, until the desired sound or word was gradually shaped.

Describe the features that commonly characterize the speech of children with ASD who have developed some useful language.

ANSWER:

Although almost all children with ASD show delays in their language development, it is their lack of spontaneity and their use of qualitatively unusual forms of communication that is most striking (Chiang & Carter, 2008). The rhythm and intonation of their speech is often unusual (Peppe et al., 2007), but most noticeable is their lack of social chatter—their failure to use language for social communication.

64. Discuss the theory of mind hypothesis of ASD. What findings provide support for this hypothesis?

ANSWER:

By age 4, most children can comprehend what others might know, think, and believe; this is something that even older individuals with ASD have great difficulty doing. The theory of mind (ToM) hypothesis of ASD begins with the premise that the ability to read the intentions, beliefs, feelings, and desires of others from their external behavior has adaptive significance in human evolution. ToM proposes that all humans are, by nature, mind readers.

66. In what ways are children with ASD distinguishable from children with language delays?

ANSWER:

Features of atypical development, that are very similar to those found in ASD but are less severe, have recently been detected in infant siblings of children with ASD by the infants’ first birthday (Ozonoff et al., 2014). Possible early indicators of ASD may include: “uses few gestures to express social interest,” “doesn’t respond when name is called,” “rarely makes eye contact when interacting,” “limited babbling, particularly in a social context,” and “displays odd or repetitive ways of moving hands and/or fingers” (Zwaigenbaum et al., 2009). Children with ASD have been found to differ from typically developing children on most of these indicators between the ages of 12 and 24 months. However, in one study, only early communicative gestures were found to distinguish children with ASD from those with developmental delay or language impairment.

Those with ASD are presumed to fall at the extreme high end of a continuum of cognitive abilities associated with systemizing (understanding the inanimate world) and at the extreme low end of abilities associated with empathizing (understanding our social world). Both abilities are present in all males and females, but males are presumed to show more systemizing and females more empathizing.

68. Discuss the evidence for genetic factors in the etiology of ASD. ANSWER:

The discovery of the fragile-X anomaly (see Chapter 5) in about 2% to 3% of children with ASD led to increased attention to this and other chromosomal defects that might be related to ASD. Some studies have found that as many as 15% to 20% of siblings of individuals with ASD also have the disorder, a number nearly twice that seen in earlier reports. New research using molecular genetics has pointed to particular areas on many different chromosomes as possible locations for susceptibility genes for ASD (Klinger et al., 2014). Susceptibility genes are causally implicated in the susceptibility to ASD but do not cause it directly on their own.

72. What are some symptoms of initial stages of childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS)?

ANSWER:

In the initial stages of COS, the afflicted youngster may have difficulty concentrating, sleeping, or doing schoolwork, and may start to avoid friends. As the illness progresses, she or he may begin to speak incoherently and see or hear things that no one else does. Periods of improvement may be followed by terrifying relapses that are characterized by disordered thinking in which the youngster leaps illogically from one idea to another. The youngster may experience hallucinations, paranoia, and delusions. During their psychotic phases, youngsters with schizophrenia may be convinced that they have godlike powers or that people are spying on them. When in the grip of a psychosis, they may behave unpredictably and may become violent and suicidal.

Why might it be difficult to identify schizophrenia in young children?

ANSWER:

Schizophrenia may be expressed differently at different ages. For example, hallucinations, delusions, and formal thought disturbances are extremely rare and difficult to diagnose before the age of 7; when they do occur, they may be less complex and reflect childhood themes (Caplan, 1994). A failure to adjust diagnostic criteria for developmental changes, such as social withdrawal or peer problems, may overlook children who show early signs of schizophrenia but may not develop the full-blown adult type until a later age.

61. Differentiate between the terms learning disabilities, communication disorders, and specific learning disorder.

ANSWER:

Learning disability is a lay term (not a diagnostic term) that refers to significant problems in mastering one or more of the following skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing, reasoning, and mathematics. Communication disorder is a diagnostic term that refers to deficits in language, speech, and communication. Specific learning disorder is a diagnostic term that refers to specific problems in learning and using academic skills. The DSM-5 integrates the frequently co-occurring problems in reading, mathematics, and written expression into this one category, and uses specifiers to designate impairments in one or more of these areas.

63. What is meant by a “perceptual map” for language and how does it develop?

ANSWER:

A perceptual map forms that represents similarities among sounds and helps the infant learn to discriminate among different phonemes. These maps form quickly; 6-month-old children of English-speaking parents already have auditory maps different from infants in non-Englishspeaking homes, as measured by neuron activity in response to different sounds (Kuhl et al., 2006). By their first birthday, the maps are complete, and infants are less able to discriminate sounds that are not important in their own language.

65. What particular difficulties and errors might suggest that a child has a reading disorder?

ANSWER:

A child with an SLD with impairment in reading lacks the critical language skills required for basic reading: word reading accuracy, reading comprehension, and reading rate or fluency.

Dyslexia is an alternative term sometimes used to describe this pattern of reading difficulties.

These core deficits stem from problems in decoding—breaking a word into parts rapidly enough to read the whole word—coupled with difficulty reading single small words (Cho et al., 2017). When a child cannot detect the phonological structure of language and automatically recognize simple words, reading development will very likely be impaired (Peterson & Pennington, 2010). The slow and labored decoding of single words requires substantial effort and detracts from the child’s ability to retain the meaning of a sentence, much less a paragraph or page.

ANSWER:

Children with impairment in written expression often have problems with tasks that require eye–hand coordination, despite their normal gross motor development. Teachers notice that, as compared with children who have normal writing skills, children with impairments in writing produce shorter, less interesting, and poorly organized essays and are less likely to review spelling, punctuation, and grammar to increase clarity (Hooper et al., 2011, 2013). However, spelling errors or poor handwriting that do not significantly interfere with daily activities or academic pursuits do not qualify a child for this diagnosis. In addition, problems in written expression signal the possibility of other learning problems because of shared metacognitive processes: planning, self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and self-modification (Lewandowski & Lovett, 2014).

67. What particular difficulties, errors, and/or deficits suggest a child has an impairment in mathematics?

ANSWER:

For some children, impairment in mathematics is displayed by an inability to grasp the abstract concepts inherent in many forms of numerical and cognitive problem solving. Criteria for SLD with impairment in mathematics include difficulties in number sense, memorization of arithmetic facts, accurate or fluent calculation, and/or accurate math reasoning. Other manifestations include recognizing numbers and symbols, aligning numbers, and understanding concepts such as place value and fractions.

ANSWER:

A specific defect in the perception of visual motion may interfere with many different brain functions, and it has been noted among children with autism as well as those with learning disorders (Benassi et al., 2010; Skottun, 2015). To detect differences between consonant sounds—such as b and t—we must be able to distinguish between very rapid changes in sound frequency. A subtle neurological deficit in sensitivity could prohibit this distinction, which would then show up clinically as problems in reading and phonological processing (Raschle et al., 2011).

69. How do the biological causes of language-based learning disabilities and nonverbal learning disabilities differ?

ANSWER:

SLD with impairment in mathematics, and perhaps SLD with impairment in written expression as well, are associated with brain deficits that differ from those described for language-based learning disorders. These deficits are largely found in areas not related to verbal ability, which has led to the term nonverbal learning disability. Nonverbal learning disability (NLD) is associated with deficits related to right-hemisphere brain functioning, which are characteristic of children who perform considerably worse at math than reading. These deficits involve social/emotional skills, spatial orientation, problem solving, and the recognition of nonverbal cues such as body language. In addition to math deficiencies, NLD may be accompanied by neuropsychological problems such as poor coordination, poor judgment, and difficulties adapting to novel and complex situations.

Discuss the two major findings that implicate specific biological underpinnings of reading disorders.

ANSWER:

(1) Language difficulties for people with reading disorders are specifically associated with the neurological processing of phonology and storage of such information into memory; and (2) behavioral and physiological abnormalities are found in the processing of visual information. It is not surprising, therefore, that phonological and visual processing problems often coexist among people with reading disorders (Skottun, 2015).

71. Summarize the use of computer-assisted learning for specific learning disorders.

ANSWER:

Computers have been used as simple instructional tools to deliver questions and answers since the 1970s. Since discovering phonological awareness and timing problems in the brain, researchers are now testing whether computers can remedy some basic auditory problems.

Some children with communication and learning disorders are unable to process information that flashes by too quickly, such as the consonant sounds ba and da, and this deficit interferes with vital speech processes. Computer programs are able to slow down these grammatical sounds, allowing young children to process them more slowly and carefully.

You have been asked to make recommendations to Jessica’s parents and teacher as to how they might help Jessica. From a behavioral and cognitive–behavioral standpoint, what specific recommendations would you make?

ANSWER:

Behavioral methods often are used in conjunction with a complete program of direct instruction, which typically proceeds in a cumulative, highly structured manner (Wright & Jacobs, 2003), as shown in A Closer Look 7.2. Because this method places a strong emphasis on the behavior of the teacher in terms of explicit correction, reinforcement, and practice opportunities, it is sometimes referred to as “faultless instruction”: Each concept should be so clearly presented that only one interpretation is possible. Each lesson is structured according to field-tested scripts. Teachers work with one small group of students at a time, and shoot questions at them at a rate as high as 10 to 12 per minute. This highly structured, repetitive method is clearly effective. Like behavioral methods, these procedures actively involve students in learning, particularly in monitoring their own thought processes. Considerable emphasis is placed on self-control by using strategies such as self-monitoring, self-assessment, self-recording, self-management of reinforcement, and so on (Cuillo et al., 2016; Cobb et al., 2009). Essentially, children are taught to ask themselves several questions as they progress, to make themselves more aware of the material.

Compare and contrast behavioral strategies for addressing SLD with cognitive–behavioral interventions.

ANSWER:

Behavioral strategies include providing children with a set of verbal rules that can be written out and reapplied. In addition to academic concepts, some of the associated problems with peers can be addressed in this same way. Behavioral methods often are used in conjunction with a program of direct instruction, and should be highly structured and repetitive. Cognitive– behavioral interventions also actively involve students in learning and monitoring their own thought processes. Emphasis is placed on self-control by using strategies such as selfmonitoring, self-assessment, self-recording, and self-management.

75. Discuss why children with learning disorders might display more acting out behaviors at school and the behavioral strategies used.

ANSWER:

Many problems that children with communication and learning disorders have stem from the fact that the material is simply presented too fast for them (Tallal & Benasich, 2002). Thus, a strategy to provide children with a set of verbal rules that can be written out and reapplied may be more beneficial than one that relies on memory or on grasping the concept all at once.

Tried-and-true behavioral principles of learning are well suited to this task of teaching systematically. Behavioral methods often are used in conjunction with a complete program of direct instruction, which typically proceeds in a cumulative, highly structured manner (Wright & Jacobs, 2003), as shown in A Closer Look 7.2. Because this method places a strong emphasis on the behavior of the teacher in terms of explicit correction, reinforcement, and practice opportunities, it is sometimes referred to as “faultless instruction”: Each concept should be so clearly presented that only one interpretation is possible.

61. Describe three types of attention deficits seen in children with ADHD, and provide an example of each.

ANSWER:

Inattention refers to an inability to sustain attention or stick to tasks or play activities, to and follow through on instructions or rules, and to resist distractions. It also involves difficulties in planning and organization and in timeliness and problems in staying alert. With hyperactivity, recordings of body movements indicate that even when they sleep, children with ADHD display more motor activity than other children (Teicher et al., 1996). However, the largest differences are found in situations requiring the child to inhibit motor activity—to slow down or sit still in response to the structured task demands of the classroom. Children who are impulsive seem unable to bridle their immediate reactions or think before they act. They may take apart an expensive clock with little thought about how to put it back together. It’s very hard for them to stop an ongoing behavior or to regulate their behavior in accordance with the demands of the situation or the wishes of others.

What are some of the limitations of the DSM-5 as a means of diagnosing ADHD? What changes have been suggested to address these limitations?

ANSWER:

Although DSM states that clinical judgment may be used to assess whether symptoms are “inconsistent with developmental level,” it applies the same symptoms to individuals of all ages, even though some symptoms, particularly for hyperactive–impulsive behaviors (running and climbing), apply more to young children. According to DSM, ADHD is a disorder that a child either has or doesn’t have. However, because the number and severity of symptoms are also calculated on a scale, children who fall just below the cutoff for ADHD are not necessarily different from children just above the cutoff. These limitations highlight the fact that DSM criteria are designed to classify and diagnose. They help shape our understanding of ADHD but are also shaped by—and in some instances lag behind—new research findings.

63. Executive functions include cognitive, language, motor, and emotional processes. Give an example of each, and explain how executive functions relate to ADHD.

ANSWER:

Executive functions (EFs) are cognitive processes in the brain that activate, integrate, and manage other brain functions. Cognitive processes, such as working memory (holding facts in mind while manipulating information), mental computation, planning and anticipation, flexibility of thinking, and the use of organizational strategies. Language processes, such as verbal fluency and the use of self-directed speech. Motor processes, such as allocation of effort, following prohibitive instructions, response inhibition, and motor coordination and sequencing.

Emotional processes, such as self-regulation of arousal level and tolerating frustration.

ANSWER:

Children with ADHD are significantly more likely to experience serious accidental injuries.

They are at higher risk for traffic accidents and deviant peer associations that could also encourage risky behaviors, especially among adolescents. One study of boys with ADHD found that they had more risky driving behaviors, STDs, head injuries, and ER admissions, compared to a control group. A Danish study found that ADHD associated with excess mortality, notably driven by deaths from unnatural causes. Finally, ADHD prevalence is negatively associated with health-promoting behaviors, such as exercise, proper diet, safe sex, and avoidance of tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine use.

65. The co-occurrence of ADHD and conduct disorder has led some researchers to suggest a subgroup of children with ADHD at increased risk for conduct problems. What support is there for such a subtype?

ANSWER:

Longitudinal studies have found that ADHD leads to ODD and CD rather than vice versa (Thapar et al., 2006). Interestingly, persistent and severe ODD and CD outcomes among children with ADHD are related to variations in a specific gene (COMT) known to be associated with the regulation of neurotransmitters in the areas of the brain implicated in ADHD. These findings suggest the existence of a subgroup of children with ADHD who are at biological risk for later developing conduct problems (Caspi et al., 2008). Finally, ADHD is also a risk factor for the later development of antisocial personality disorder (APD) (Storebø & Simonsen, 2013), a pervasive pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of others, as well as involvement in multiple illegal behaviors.

66. How do the symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity–impulsivity change over the lifespan?

ANSWER:

Symptoms of inattention become especially evident when the child starts school. Classroom demands for sustained attention and goal-directed persistence are formidable challenges for these children (Kofler, Rapport, & Alderson, 2008). Not surprisingly, this is when children are usually identified as having ADHD and referred for special assistance. Symptoms of inattention continue through grade school, resulting in low academic productivity, distractibility, poor organization, trouble meeting deadlines, and an inability to follow through on social promises or commitments to peers. The hyperactive–impulsive behaviors that were present in preschool continue, with some decline, from 6 to 12 years of age (Barkley, 2006a). Although hyperactive–impulsive behaviors decline significantly by adolescence, they still occur at a higher level than in 95% of same-age peers who do not have ADHD. The disorder continues into adolescence for at least 50% or more of clinic-referred elementary school children.

Childhood symptoms of hyperactivity–impulsivity (more so than symptoms of inattention) are generally related to poor adolescent outcomes (Barkley, 2006b). Unfortunately, most children with ADHD will continue to experience problems, leading to a lifelong pattern of suffering and disappointment (Barkley, 2014a, b). Once thought of primarily as a disorder of childhood, ADHD is now well established as an adult disorder. Adults with ADHD are restless, easily bored, and constantly seeking novelty and excitement; they may experience work difficulties, impaired social relations, and suffer from depression, low self-concept, substance abuse, and personality disorder

68. List and describe impaired executive functions in ADHD as well as resulting impairments.

ANSWER:

Six impaired executive functions in individuals with ADHD have been identified. Along with their resulting impairments, they are as follows: (1) Organize, prioritize, and activate: trouble getting started; difficulty organizing work; misunderstanding directions; (2) Focus, shift, and sustain attention: lose focus when trying to listen; forget what has been read and need to reread; easily distracted; (3) Regulate alertness, effort, and processing speed: excessive daytime drowsiness; difficulty completing a task on time; slow processing speed; (4) Manage frustration and modulate emotion: very easily irritated; feelings hurt easily; overly sensitive to criticism; (5) Working memory and accessing recall: forget to do a planned task; difficulty following sequential directions; quickly lose thoughts that were put on hold; (6) Monitor and regulate action: find it hard to sit still or be quiet; rush things or slapdash; often interrupt, blurt things out.

Describe the difficulties children experience that have co-occurring ADHD and anxiety.

ANSWER:

These children worry about being separated from their parents, trying something new, taking tests, making social contacts, or visiting the doctor. They may feel tense or uneasy and constantly seek reassurance that they are safe and protected. Because these anxieties are unrealistic, more frequent, and more intense than normal, they have a negative impact on the child’s thinking and behavior.

70. Describe the influence that dietary factors, notably sugar consumption, contribute to hyperactivity.

ANSWER:

Despite popular perception, multiple studies have conclusively shown that sugar is not a cause of hyperactivity. Popular perception, contrary to these findings, are long-standing and have been scientifically verified as related to the power of suggestion in studies showing parents’ reactions and behavior with regard to perceived sugar consumption. This relates to ADHD because what parents believe about the causes of their children’s ADHD can affect their views of their children, how they treat them, as well as treatment options pursued.

Discuss the behavioral differences in boys and girls with ADHD that have been found in clinical samples.

ANSWER:

In the past, girls with ADHD were a highly understudied group (Hinshaw & Blachman, 2005).

Although girls with ADHD tend to display inattentive/ disorganized symptoms, some research shows more similarity between girls and boys with ADHD than was previously thought to exist. Some studies have found that among clinic-referred school-age children with ADHD, boys and girls are quite similar with respect to their expression and severity of symptoms, brain abnormalities, deficits in response inhibition and executive functions, level of impairment, family correlates, response to and young adulthood, including anxiety; depression; romantic relationship difficulties; conflict with mothers; significant peer rejection and conduct problems; large deficits in academic achievement; continuing deficits in attention, executive functions, and language; impaired decision making; and high rates of service utilization (Babinski et al., 2010; Biederman et al., 2010; Mick et al., 2011; Miller et al., 2013; Owens et al., 2014).

72. Discuss the nature of relationships in adolescence.

ANSWER:

Despite their many social problems with peers, some adolescents with ADHD may meet their social needs by maintaining one or two positive close friendships (Glass, Flory, & Hankin, 2012). The social premise for such relationships may differ from those of other teens, possibly with a mutual focus on “having fun” rather than on seeking emotional support. Positive friendships may buffer the negative outcomes of peer rejection commonly seen in children with ADHD.

What is the role of the family in etiology and development of ADHD symptoms?

ANSWER:

Family influences may lead to ADHD symptoms or to a greater severity of symptoms. In some cases, ADHD symptoms may be the result of interfering and insensitive early caregiving practices (Carlson, Jacobvitz, & Sroufe, 1995), especially in children with a specific genetic risk for ADHD (Martel et al., 2011). Thus, parenting practices may interact with the child’s genetic makeup to moderate risk for ADHD. In addition, for children at risk for ADHD, family conflict may raise the severity of their hyperactive–impulsive symptoms to a clinical level.

Family problems may result from interacting with a child who is impulsive and difficult to manage (Mash & Johnston, 1990). The clearest support for this child-to-parent direction of effect comes from double-blind placebo-controlled drug studies in which children with ADHD who received stimulant medications showed a decrease in their symptoms. Family conflict is likely related to the presence, persistence, or later emergence of associated oppositional and conduct disorder symptoms. In children with an inherited biological risk for ADHD, family conflict may heighten the emergence of early ODD and later comorbid ADHD and CD (Beauchaine et al., 2010). For example, children with ADHD report observing more interparental conflict than do children without ADHD, which may worsen ADHD and related ODD and CD symptoms in those who have a genotype that makes them particularly vulnerable to the effects of the emotional stress and self-blame associated with interparental conflict.

74. Discuss the relationship between ADHD and race and ethnicity. What racial/ethnic groups are teachers most and least likely to rate as ADHD.

ANSWER:

Research on the relationships among ADHD, race, and ethnicity has been inconsistent, and it remains unclear whether current tools for assessing ADHD adequately capture the expression of ADHD in minority groups. By kindergarten entry, children in the United States who are black are 70% less likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than otherwise similar white children— even though they are equally likely to display ADHD-related behaviors in the classroom (Morgan et al., 2014). However, for older children, teacher-rated ADHD and observed rates of ADHD behavior are higher for black than for white children, which are not explained by rater bias or SES (Miller, Nigg, & Miller, 2009). Slightly lower rates of ADHD have been reported for Hispanic, Asian, American Indian, and Pacific Islander children (Cuffe, Moore, & McKeown, 2005). Knowledge about ADHD and access to treatment seem to be greater among Caucasian, non-Hispanic, and more highly educated families (McLeod et al., 2007; Miller et al., 2009).However, some research suggests that when families from different ethnic groups do receive treatment, they do not differ in the benefits derived (Jones et al., 2010).

Some children with ADHD either outgrow their disorder or learn to cope with it, particularly those with mild ADHD and without conduct or oppositional problems. Better outcomes are more likely for children whose symptoms are less severe and who receive good care, supervision, and support from their parents and teachers and who have access to economic and community resources, including educational, health, and mental health services (Kessler et al., 2005).

61. Define conduct problems from the legal, psychological, psychiatric, and public health perspectives.

ANSWER:

Legally, conduct problems are defined as delinquent or criminal acts. The broad term juvenile delinquency describes children who have broken a law, ranging from sneaking into a movie without paying to homicide. Delinquent acts include property crimes (e.g., vandalism, theft, and breaking and entering) and violent crimes (e.g., robbery, aggravated assault, homicide). From a psychological perspective, conduct problems fall along a continuous dimension of externalizing behavior (Burns et al., 1997). Children at the upper extreme of this dimension, usually one or more standard deviations above the mean, are considered to have conduct problems. From a psychiatric perspective, conduct problems are defined as distinct mental disorders based on DSM-5 symptoms (APA, 2013). DSM-5 contains the general category of disruptive, impulsecontrol, and conduct disorders. All disorders in this category involve problems in the selfcontrol of emotions and behaviors, including two that refer to persistent patterns of antisocial behavior in youth—oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD). This perspective blends the legal, psychological, and psychiatric perspectives with public health concepts of prevention and intervention (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2001). The goal is to reduce the number of injuries and deaths, personal suffering, and economic costs associated with youth violence, in the same way that other health concerns such as automobile accidents or tobacco use are addressed. The public health approach cuts across disciplines and brings together policy makers, scientists, professionals, communities, families, and individuals to understand conduct problems in youths and determine how they can be treated and prevented (Dodge, 2011).

62. Crossing the covert–overt and destructive–nondestructive dimensions of conduct problems yields four quadrants of antisocial behavior. Describe behaviors in each of these quadrants.

ANSWER:

The overt–covert dimension ranges from overt visible acts such as fighting to covert hidden acts such as lying or stealing. Children who display overt antisocial behavior tend to be negative, irritable, and resentful in their reactions to hostile situations and to experience higher levels of family conflict (Kazdin, 1992). In contrast, those displaying covert antisocial behavior are less social, more anxious, and more suspicious of others and come from homes that provide little family support. The destructive–nondestructive dimension ranges from acts such as cruelty to animals or physical assault to nondestructive behaviors such as arguing or irritability.

Distinguish between childhood-onset versus adolescent-onset conduct disorder.

ANSWER:

Those with childhood-onset conduct disorder display at least one symptom of the disorder before age 10, whereas those with adolescent-onset conduct disorder do not. Increasing evidence points to the importance of age at onset in diagnosing and treating children with CD (Odgers et al., 2008). Children diagnosed with childhood-onset CD are more likely to be boys, show more aggressive symptoms, account for a disproportionate amount of illegal activity, and persist in their antisocial behavior over time (Lahey, Goodman, et al., 1999). In contrast, youths diagnosed with adolescent-onset CD are as likely to be girls as boys and do not display the severity or psychopathology that characterizes the childhood onset group. They are also less likely to commit violent offenses or to persist in their antisocial behavior as they get older.

64. What role do cognitive deficits and/or distortions play in conduct problems?

ANSWER:

Children with conduct problems rarely consider the future consequences of their behavior or its impact on others. They fail to inhibit their impulsive behavior, keep social values or future rewards in mind, or adapt their actions to changing circumstances. This pattern suggests deficits in executive functions similar to those of children with ADHD (Raine et al., 2005).

Because ODD/CD and ADHD frequently co-occur, the observed deficits in executive functions in these children could be due to the presence of co-occurring ADHD (Pennington & Ozonoff, 1996).

What lines of reasoning suggest that ADHD and CD are separate disorders?

ANSWER:

It is also possible that the types of executive functioning deficits experienced by children with ODD and CD may differ from those experienced by children with ADHD (Nigg et al., 2006).

For example, Rubia (2010) has made the distinction between cool (as in temperature, not as in Lady Gaga) cognitive executive functions, such as attention, working memory, planning, and inhibition, and hot executive functions that involve incentives and motivation. Both cool and hot executive functions are associated with distinct but interconnected brain networks. Cool executive function deficits are thought to be more characteristic of children with ADHD, whereas hot executive function deficits are more characteristic of children with conduct problems. Children with both ADHD and conduct problems, which is common, likely display a combination of the two types of executive function deficits.

66. Compare and contrast the life-course-persistent (LCP) path with the adolescent-limited (AL) path, emphasizing causes, behaviors, and severity.

ANSWER:

The LCP path describes children who engage in aggression and antisocial behavior at an early age and continue to do so into adulthood. Their behaviors can vary and change over time. Their underlying disposition remains, but the way it is expressed changes with new opportunities at different points in development. Antisocial behavior begins early. In contrast, the AL path describes youths whose antisocial behavior begins around puberty and continues into adolescence, only to cease these behaviors in adulthood. Antisocial behavior in these children is limited primarily to their teen years. Their antisocial behavior is less extreme than LCP children, and their delinquency is more likely to be related to temporary situational factors, especially the influence of their peers.

67. Explain the general progression of CD. ANSWER:

The earliest indications of conduct problems may be a difficult temperament in the first few years of life, expressed as fussiness, irritability, irregular sleeping and eating patterns, or fearfulness in response to novel events. During the preschool and early school years, a child with a difficult temperament displays an increase in hyperactivity and impulsivity with growing mobility, weak emotion-regulation skills, and a heightened risk for simple forms of oppositional and aggressive behaviors that peak during the preschool years (Tremblay, 2000). Most children with conduct problems show diversification—they add new forms of antisocial behavior over time rather than simply replacing old behaviors. Poor social skills and social–cognitive deficits often accompany early oppositional and aggressive behaviors, predisposing the child to poor peer relationships, rejection by peers, and social isolation and withdrawal. In this progression, we see a snowballing negative cycle over time, where one deficit or problem behavior produces direct and indirect changes in others. For example, peer rejection leads to social– cognitive deficits and aggression; social–cognitive deficits lead to peer rejection and aggression; aggression leads to peer rejection (Lansford et al., 2010). Conversely, better social–cognitive skills may increase peer acceptance and lower aggressiveness. These cascading effects highlight the importance of looking at the progression of antisocial behavior over time as a dynamic developmental process involving relationships among neurobiological dispositions, social environments, cognitions, and behavior (Lansford et al., 2010).

68. Distinguish between life-course-persistent and adolescent-limited pathways to antisocial behavior.

ANSWER:

The life-course-persistent (LCP) path describes children who engage in aggression and antisocial behavior at an early age and continue to do so into adulthood (Moffitt et al., 1996).

They may display “biting and hitting at age 4, shoplifting and truancy at age 10, selling drugs and stealing cars at age 16, robbery and rape at age 22, and fraud and child abuse at age 30” (Moffitt, 1993, p. 679). Their underlying disposition remains, but the way it is expressed changes with new “opportunities” at different points in development. For these children, antisocial behavior begins early because of subtle neuropsychological deficits that may interfere with their development of language, memory, and self-control, resulting in cognitive deficits and a difficult temperament by age 3 or younger. The adolescent-limited (AL) path describes youths whose antisocial behavior begins around puberty and continues into adolescence, but who later cease these behaviors during young adulthood. This path includes most juvenile offenders whose antisocial behavior is limited primarily to their teen years (Hamalainen & Pulkkinen, 1996). Teens on the AL path display less extreme antisocial behavior than those on the LCP path, are less likely to drop out of school, and have stronger family ties. Their delinquent activity is often related to temporary situational factors, especially peer influences. The behavior of AL youths is not consistent across situations; they may use drugs or shoplift with their friends while continuing to follow rules and to do well in school.

Although these children do not display antisocial behavior in childhood, they do experience, like youngsters on the LCP path, greater social adversity and personal risk during childhood relative to other youths, suggesting that the AL pathway is not simply part of normal adolescent development (Roisman et al., 2010).

69. What are some of the findings regarding genetic influences on the development of antisocial behavior?

ANSWER:

Adoption and twin studies indicate that 50% or more of the variance in antisocial behavior is attributable to heredity for both males and females. This influence is somewhat higher for aggressive versus nonaggressive conduct problems and in childhood versus adolescence.

Research indicates that parents pass on a general liability for externalizing disorders to their children that may be expressed in different ways, including oppositional and conduct problems, inattention, and hyperactivity– impulsivity (Bornovalova et al., 2010). The heritability of conduct problems also varies by age at onset and other factors (Burt & Neiderhiser, 2009). For example, the strength of the genetic contribution is higher for children who display the LCP versus the AL pattern and for those with callous–unemotional traits (Viding et al., 2008).

However, all externalizing disorders appear to share substantial genetic influences, suggesting at least some common causal factors among them (Lahey et al., 2011). Overall, adoption and twin studies suggest that both genetic and environmental factors contribute to antisocial behavior across development.

Explain what the behavioral activation and behavioral inhibition systems are, and describe the role they play in conduct problems.

ANSWER:

The behavioral activation system (BAS) stimulates behavior in response to signals of reward or nonpunishment. In contrast, the behavioral inhibition system (BIS) produces anxiety and inhibits ongoing behavior in the presence of novel events, innate fear stimuli, and signals of nonreward or punishment. Other behavioral patterns may result from the relative balance or imbalance of activity in these two neural systems.

ANSWER:

Step 1: Encoding. Socially aggressive children use fewer cues before making a decision. When defining and resolving an interpersonal situation, they seek less information about the event before acting.

Step 2: Interpretation. Socially aggressive children attribute hostile intentions to ambiguous events.

Step 3: Response Search. Socially aggressive children generate fewer and more aggressive responses and have less knowledge about social problem solving.

Step 4: Response Decision. Socially aggressive children are more likely to choose aggressive solutions.

Step 5: Enactment. Socially aggressive children use poor verbal communication and strike out physically.

Create a scenario between a mother and child that illustrates Patterson’s coercion theory.

ANSWER:

Gerald Patterson’s coercion theory contends that parent–child interactions provide a training ground for the development of antisocial behavior (Patterson, Reid, & Dishion, 1992). This occurs through a four-step, escape-conditioning sequence in which the child learns to use increasingly intense forms of noxious behavior to escape and avoid unwanted parental demands. The coercive parent–child interaction begins when a mother finds her son, Paul, who is failing in school, watching TV rather than doing his homework. Coercive parent–child interactions are made up of well-practiced actions and reactions, which may occur with little awareness. This process is called a “reinforcement trap” because, over time, all family members become trapped by the consequences of their own behaviors. For example, mothers of antisocial children are eight times less likely to enforce demands than are mothers of nonproblem children (Patterson et al., 1992).

73. What role do neighborhoods and schools play in antisocial behavior?

ANSWER:

The social selection hypothesis states that people who move into different neighborhoods differ from one another before they arrive, and those who remain differ from those who leave. For individuals with antisocial traits, this creates a community organization that minimizes productive social relations and effective social norms, leading to the antisocial behavior becoming the rule (Sampson, Raudenbush, & Earls, 1997). The effects of community characteristics on crime and delinquency are likely to be reinforced by neighborhood social disorganization characterized by few local friendship and acquaintance networks, low participation in local community organizations, and an inability to supervise and control teenage peer groups (Sampson & Groves, 1989). In high-risk neighborhoods, enrollment in a poorquality school is associated with antisocial and delinquent behavior, whereas a positive school experience can be a protective factor for the development of these behaviors (Rutter, 1989). A good school environment characterized by clear requirements for homework completion, high academic expectations, clear and consistent discipline policies, and incentives for appropriate school behavior and achievement may partially compensate for poor family circumstances.

Systematic interventions to promote these school characteristics have resulted in schoolwide reductions in children’s conduct problems (Gottfredson, Gottfredson, & Hybel, 1993).

ANSWER:

Exposure to media violence can be both: (1) a short-term precipitating factor for aggressive and violent behavior that results from priming, excitation, or imitation of specific behaviors and (2) a long-term predisposing factor for aggressive behavior acquired via desensitization to violence and observational learning of an aggression-supporting belief system (i.e., “the world is a hostile place,” “aggression is acceptable,” “aggression can be used to solve social problems”) (Huesmann et al., 2003). Exposure to media violence may reinforce preexisting antisocial tendencies in some children. For example, in a series of studies spanning more than a decade, children with conduct problems were found to view relatively large amounts of violent material, prefer aggressive characters, and believe fictional content to be true (Gadow & Sprafkin, 1993).

75. Compare and contrast the focus of treatment methods for parent management training (PMT), problem-solving skills training (PSST), multisystemic therapy (MST), and preventive interventions. Discuss some of the limitations of PMT programs in treating conduct problems.

ANSWER:

PMT emphasizes changing children’s behaviors at home and other settings through active parent involvement. It assumes that poor parent–child interactions are at least partially responsible for a child’s antisocial behavior. The focus is on improving parent–child communication, monitoring, and supervision. PSST focuses on cognitive deficiencies displayed by children with interpersonal conduct problems. PSST can be used alone in with PMT. PSST assumes that the child’s perceptions and appraisals of environmental events will trigger antisocial responses, and that correcting family thinking will improve behavior. Instruction, practice, and feedback are used to help the child discover different ways to handle social situations. MST is a treatment for adolescents with severe conduct problems that threaten outof-home placement by their nature and severity. The emphasis in MST is on viewing the adolescent as functioning within a web of social systems, not just the family setting, and that antisocial behavior results from influences within any of these systems. Treatment is not limited to the adolescent but can include anyone in the child’s life. Preventive interventions assume that conduct problems can be treated with younger (as opposed to older) children, and that limiting or preventing the escalation of antisocial behaviors is possible through early treatment efforts.

61. Why do mood disorders in children frequently go undetected?

ANSWER:

Many young people with depression express these combined feelings of sadness and loss of interest or pleasure. However, some may never report feeling sad. Rather, they express their depression through their irritable mood. This is not something people would normally associate with depression.

How do the symptomatic presentations of depression in preschoolers, school-aged children, preteens, and teens differ? How are they the same?

ANSWER:

Children express and experience depression differently at different ages (Weiss & Garber, 2003). An infant may show sadness by being passive and unresponsive; a preschooler may appear withdrawn and inhibited; a school-age child may be argumentative and combative or complain of feeling sick; and a teenager may express feelings of guilt and hopelessness, sulk, or feel misunderstood. These examples are not various types of depressions but likely represent different stages in the developmental course of the same process.

63. Distinguish between depression as a symptom, syndrome, and disorder.

ANSWER:

As a symptom, depression refers to feeling sad or miserable. Depressive symptoms often occur without the existence of a serious problem, and they are relatively common at all ages.

As a syndrome, depression is more than a sad mood. A syndrome refers to a group of symptoms that occur together more often than by chance. Along with sadness, the child may display a reduced interest or pleasure in activities, cognitive and motivational changes, and somatic and psychomotor changes. As a syndrome, depression represents an extreme on a dimension reflecting the number or severity of co-occurring symptoms that the child displays.

As a disorder, depression comes in several forms. We will consider three types. The first, major depressive disorder (MDD), has a minimum duration of two weeks and includes low mood, loss of interest or pleasure, other symptoms (e.g., sleep disturbances, difficulty concentrating, feelings of worthlessness), and significant distress or impairment in functioning.

The second, persistent depressive disorder (P-DD), or dysthymia, is associated with depressed or irritable mood, generally fewer, less severe, but longer-lasting symptoms (a year or more in children) than MDD, and significant impairment in functioning. The third, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), is a recently introduced depressive disorder characterized by (1) frequent and severe temper outbursts that are extreme overreactions to the situation or provocation and (2) chronic, persistently irritable or angry mood that is present between the severe temper outbursts.

64. What reasons have been put forth for the increase in depression from the preschool to elementary school years and from childhood to adolescence?

ANSWER:

The modest increase in depression from preschool to elementary school is likely not biologically based but rather is a reflection of the school-age child’s growing self-awareness and cognitive capacity, verbal ability to report symptoms, and increased performance and social pressures. In contrast, the sharp increase in depression in adolescence appears to be the result of biological maturation at puberty interacting with important developmental changes that occur during this tumultuous period. This hypothesis is supported by the emergence of large sex differences in depression after puberty, the emergence of bipolar disorder, and the relative stability in rates of depression through adolescence (Birmaher et al., 1996).

ANSWER:

Young people who suffer from persistent depressive disorder (P-DD) experience symptoms of depressed mood that occur for most of the day, on most days, and persist for at least one year.

They are unhappy or irritable most of the time. (The sad and gloomy life of Eeyore the donkey in the 100 Acre Wood likely qualifies for a diagnosis of P-DD.) Combined with their chronic depressed (or irritable) mood, these children also display at least two somatic (e.g., eating problems, sleep disturbances, low energy) or cognitive symptoms (e.g., lack of concentration, low self-esteem, feelings of hopelessness) that are present while they are depressed. Although the symptoms of P-DD are chronic, they are less severe than those for children with MDD. PDD is a “new” category in DSM-5; it combines the previous DSM-IV categories of Dysthymic Disorder and MDD—Chronic. This was done because of the lack of differences between youths with a dysthymic disorder and those with a chronic type of major depression.

In comparison to nonchronic MDD, chronic forms of depression, whether referred to as dysthymic disorder, chronic major depression, or P-DD are associated with a poorer response to treatment, greater long-term morbidity at follow-up, and greater familial loading for affective disorders (McCullough et al., 2003).

66. What role do cognitive deficits and cognitive distortions play in depression?

ANSWER:

Many children with depression experience biases, deficits, and distortions in their thinking (Lakdawalla, Hankin, & Mermelstein, 2007). These children commonly notice depressionrelevant cues such as sad facial expressions more often than positive cues such as happy facial expressions (Ehrmantrout et al., 2011; Hankin et al., 2010). Given the importance of accurately reading emotional cues for successful social relationships, these selective attentional biases can contribute to adverse relationships with family members and peers.

How is self-esteem related to depression in children?

ANSWER:

Almost all young people with depression experience negative self-esteem. In fact, low selfesteem is the symptom that seems most specifically related to depression in adolescents (Lewinsohn et al., 1997). Self-esteem in children with depression is also highly reactive to daily life events, and such daily fluctuations in self-esteem appear to be related to depression following exposure to major life stresses (Roberts & Gotlib, 1997). Thus, both low self-esteem and unstable self-esteem seem to play an important role in depression.

68. What is the role of the family in the development and maintenance of depression in young people?

ANSWER:

Youngsters with depression experience less supportive and more conflictual relationships with their mothers, fathers, and siblings than do children who do not have depression. They report feeling socially isolated from their families and prefer to be alone rather than with them. In family situations, the child’s social isolation may not be a social skill deficit, but rather a reflection of the child’s desire to avoid conflict. Family relationship difficulties have been found to persist even when children are no longer clinically depressed (Sheeber et al., 2007).

Explain some of the concerns of treating young people with depression with medications.

ANSWER:

The main concerns are possible serious side effects such as suicidal thoughts and self-harm and a lack of information about the long-term effects of these medications on the developing brain. Related to these concerns and warnings by the FDA, the use of SSRIs with young people has decreased by about 20% in more recent years (Gibbons et al., 2007; Libby et al., 2007). In 2004, the FDA asked all manufacturers of antidepressant medications to include in their labeling a boxed warning (black box) and Patient Education Guide to alert consumers about the increased risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in youngsters treated with these medications.

70. Compare and contrast behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, CBT, ITP-A, and medication as treatments for young people with depression.

ANSWER:

Behavior therapy aims to increase behaviors that elicit positive reinforcement and to reduce punishment from the environment. It may involve teaching social and other coping skills and emphasizing anxiety management and relaxation training. Cognitive therapy focuses on helping the youth become more aware of pessimistic and negative thoughts, beliefs and biases, and self-blame. CBT combines elements of behavioral and cognitive therapies in an integrated approach. Attribution retraining may also be used. Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Adolescent Depression (ITP-A) explores family and interpersonal interactions that maintain depression.

Family and individual counseling sessions occur in which youths are encouraged to understand their own negative cognitive style and the effects of their depression on others. Medication, in contrast, treats mood disturbances and other symptoms using antidepressants.

71. What are some of the characteristics of a family with a depressed child? Of a family with a depressed parent?

ANSWER:

Families of children with depression display more critical and punitive behavior toward their depressed child than toward other children in the family. As compared with families of youngsters without depression, these families display more anger and conflict, greater use of control, poorer communication, more overinvolvement, and less warmth and support (Sheeber et al., 2007; Stein et al., 2000). They often experience high levels of stress, disorganization, marital discord, and a lack of social support (Messer & Gross, 1995; Slavin & Rainer, 1990).

Depression interferes with a parent’s ability to meet the basic physical and emotional needs of a child, including feeding, bedtime routines, medical care, and safety practices. Mothers who suffer from depression also create a child-rearing environment teeming with negative mood, irritability, helplessness, less emotional flexibility, and unpredictable displays of affection. When their children display negative emotions and distress, mothers with a history of depression are less likely to respond supportively with comfort, empathy, or assistance and are more likely to disapprove, dismiss, punish, or ignore their child’s negative emotions (Silk et al., 2011).

Depressed mothers also display less energy in stimulating play, less consistent discipline, less involvement, poor communication, lack of affection, and more criticism and resentment of their children than mothers without depression (Goodman, 2007).

72. What approach is used in “The ACTION” for treating children with depression and their families? Describe “The ACTION” program.

ANSWER:

The ACTION acronym is used to nourish the idea that youngsters can have an impact on their moods, and it is presented to them as follows (Stark & Kendall, 1996, p. 14): A = Always find something to do to feel better; C = Catch the positive; T = Think about it as a problem to be solved; I = Inspect the situation; O = Open yourself to the positive; N = Never get stuck in the negative muck. Multiple treatment procedures are used to reduce the child’s mood disturbances, behavioral deficits, and cognitive symptoms: Dysphoria, anger, anhedonia, and excessive anxiety are treated by educating the child about the relation between mood, thinking, and behavior, and by using anger management procedures, scheduling pleasant activities, and relaxation training. Interpersonal deficits are treated using social skills training. Cognitive distortions and negative and self-critical thinking are addressed by using cognitive restructuring procedures and training in effective problem-solving and self-control procedures.

ANSWER:

A manic episode, which is the hallmark feature of BP, involves a discrete period of a week or more during which the youngster displays an ongoing, pervasive, and unusually elevated or irritable mood and persistently increased goal-directed activity or energy. This episode is accompanied by the types of symptoms we have been describing such as an exaggerated selfesteem, a reduced need for sleep, racing thoughts, rapid and frenzied speech, attention to irrelevant details, increased activity, or overinvolvement in pleasurable but often reckless and risky behaviors. A hypomanic episode has features that resemble a manic episode in quality but are less intense—the mood disturbance and increased activity or energy are less severe, of shorter duration, and produce less impairment in functioning than a manic episode. DSM-5 also includes a specifier of “with mixed features,” which can be used when a current manic or hypomanic episode includes subthreshold symptoms of depression or dysthymia or when an episode of MDD includes subthreshold symptoms of mania or hypomania.

What are some of the concerns with medications such as lithium in treating a child who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder?

ANSWER:

Lithium is a common salt that is widely present in the natural environment—for example, in drinking water—usually in amounts too small to have any effects. However, the side effects of therapeutic doses of lithium can be serious, especially when used in combination with other medications; side effects may include toxicity (poisoning), renal and thyroid problems, and substantial weight gain (Gracious et al., 2004). It can be given to young people when used with the same safety precautions and similar careful monitoring used for adults. However, lithium cannot be given to children in chaotic families or to children who are unable to keep the multiple appointments needed for monitoring potentially dangerous side effects (Carlson, 1994; Geller & Luby, 1997).

61. Discuss in detail what happens when the physical response system is activated in the face of perceived danger.

ANSWER:

Chemical effects. Adrenaline and nonadrenaline are released from the adrenal glands.

Cardiovascular effects. Heart rate and strength of the heart beat increase, readying the body for action by speeding up blood flow and improving delivery of oxygen to the tissues.

Respiratory effects. Speed and depth of breathing increase, which brings oxygen to the tissues and removes waste. This may produce feelings of breathlessness, choking or smothering, or chest pains. Sweat gland effects. Sweating increases, which cools the body and makes the skin slippery. Other physical effects. The pupils widen to let in more light, which may lead to blurred vision or spots in front of the eyes. Salivation decreases, resulting in a dry mouth.

Decreased activity in the digestive system may lead to nausea and a heavy feeling in the stomach. Muscles tense in readiness for fight or flight, leading to subjective feelings of tension, aches and pains, and trembling.

62. Review the three anxiety response systems and give examples from each.

ANSWER:

Physical System. When a person perceives or anticipates danger, the brain sends messages to the sympathetic nervous system, which produces the fight/flight response. The activation of this system produces many important chemical and physical effects that mobilize the body for action. Cognitive System. Since the main purpose of the fight/flight system is to signal possible danger, its activation produces an immediate search for a potential threat. For children with anxiety disorders, it is difficult to focus on everyday tasks because their attention is consumed by a constant search for threat or danger. When these children can’t find proof of danger, they may turn their search inward: “If nothing is out there to make me feel anxious, then something must be wrong with me.” Behavioral System. The overwhelming urges that accompany the fight/flight response are aggression and a desire to escape the threatening situation, but social constraints may prevent fulfilling either impulse. For example, just before a final exam, you may feel like attacking your professor or not showing up at all, but fortunately, for your professor and your need to pass the course, you are likely to inhibit these urges! However, they may show up as foot tapping, fidgeting, or irritability (consider the number of teeth marks in pencils) or as escape or avoidance by getting a doctor’s note, requesting a deferral, or even faking illness.

ANSWER:

Worry, which is characterized as thinking about all possible negative outcomes, serves an extremely useful function in normal development. In moderate doses, worry can help children prepare for the future—for example, by checking their homework before they hand it in or by rehearsing for an upcoming class play. Anxiety is a mood state characterized by strong negative emotion and bodily symptoms of tension in which the child apprehensively anticipates future danger or misfortune (Barlow, 2002). Panic is a group of physical symptoms of the fight/flight response that unexpectedly occur in the absence of any obvious threat or danger.

64. What are some of the normal worries, anxieties, and rituals/routines of children?

ANSWER:

The most frequent symptoms in samples of children with normal anxieties are separation anxiety, test anxiety, overconcern about competence, excessive need for reassurance, and anxiety about harm to a parent (Barrios & Hartmann, 1997). In moderate doses, worry can help children prepare for the future—for example, by checking their homework before they hand it in or by rehearsing for an upcoming class play. Ritualistic, repetitive activity is extremely common in young children (Peleg-Popko & Dar, 2003). A familiar example is the bedtime ritual of saying good night—addressing people in a certain order or giving a certain number of hugs and kisses. Normal ritualistic behaviors in young children include preferences for sameness in the environment (e.g., watching the same DVD over and over again), rigid likes and dislikes, preferences for symmetry (e.g., carrying a toy in each hand), awareness of minute details or imperfections in toys or clothes (e.g., being bothered by a minuscule thread on a jacket sleeve), and arranging things so they are “just right” (e.g., insisting that different foods not touch each other on the plate).

Give some examples of behavior of a child with separation anxiety disorder (SAD).

ANSWER:

Young children with SAD may have vague feelings of anxiety or repeated nightmares about being kidnapped or killed or about the death of a parent. They frequently display excessive demands for parental attention by clinging to their parents and shadowing their every move.

Often, they are reluctant to sleep separated from their parents, and they try to climb into their parents’ bed at night or sleep on the floor just outside their parents’ bedroom door (Allen et al., 2010). Older children with SAD may have difficulty being alone in a room during the day, sleeping alone even at home, running errands, going to school, or going to camp. They may also have specific fantasies of illness, accidents, kidnapping, or physical harm.

66. What are some symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and which symptom distinguishes GAD from other anxiety disorders?

ANSWER:

For children with GAD, worrying can be episodic or almost continuous. The worrier is unable to relax and may experience physical symptoms such as muscle tension, headaches, or nausea.

Common symptoms of GAD include irritability, difficulty concentrating, and a lack of energy, difficulty falling asleep, and restless sleep (Comer et al., 2012; Layne et al., 2009). In other anxiety disorders, anxiety converges on specific situations or objects, such as separation, social performance, animals or insects, or bodily sensations. In contrast, the anxiety experienced by individuals with GAD is widespread and focuses on a variety of everyday life events (Andrews et al., 2010).

List the five subtypes of specific phobias, and give an example of the focus of fear for each one.

ANSWER:

As specified in DSM-5, common types of specific phobias in young people include fears of animals or insects (e.g., dogs or spiders); fears of natural events (e.g., heights or thunderstorms); fears of blood, injuries, or medical procedures (e.g., seeing blood or receiving an injection); and fears of specific situations (e.g., flying in airplanes, riding on a bus). Both similarities (e.g., age at onset, gender, treatment response) and differences (e.g., focus of fear, physiological reaction, neural response patterns, impairment, comorbidity) have been found across these types, with natural environment and animal phobias having the most in common with other types, and blood, injury, and injection phobias the least (LeBeau et al., 2010; Lueken et al., 2011).

68. Distinguish between obsessions and compulsions, and discuss the relationship between them.

ANSWER:

Obsessions are persistent and intrusive thoughts, urges, or images that are experienced as intrusive and unwanted and generally cause significant anxiety or distress. Compulsions are repetitive, purposeful, and intentional behaviors (e.g., hand washing) or mental acts (e.g., repeating words silently) that are performed in response to obsessions in an attempt to suppress or neutralize them. Most children with OCD have multiple obsessions and compulsions, and certain compulsions are commonly associated with specific obsessions. For example, washing and cleaning rituals are likely to be associated with contamination obsessions, such as a concern with dirt or germs, a concern or disgust with body wastes or secretions (e.g., urine, feces, saliva), or an excessive concern about chemical or environmental contamination.

72. Compare and contrast positive and negative affectivity and the role of these concepts in understanding the link between anxiety and depression.

ANSWER:

Positive affectivity refers to a persistent positive mood that includes states such as joy, enthusiasm, and energy. Negative affectivity, in contrast, is a persistent negative mood, as reflected in nervousness, sadness, anger, and guilt. Negative affectivity is related to both anxiety and depression, whereas positive affectivity is negatively correlated with depression and is independent of anxiety symptoms and diagnoses. Children with anxiety generally do not differ from children with depression in their negative affect, suggesting that a general underlying dimension of negative affectivity is common between anxiety and depression.

Perhaps the most accurate way to analyze cultural differences in anxiety is using Weisz and colleagues’ (2003, p. 384) behavior lens principle, which states that child psychopathology reflects a mix of actual child behavior and the lens through which it is viewed by others in a child’s culture.

74. What role does temperament play in the development of anxiety disorders?

ANSWER:

Children with a high threshold for novelty are presumed to be at low risk for developing anxiety disorders. Other children (about 15% to 20%) are born with a low threshold for becoming overexcited and to withdrawing in response to novel stimulation as infants, a tendency to be fearful and anxious as toddlers, and a tendency to be unusually shy or withdrawn in novel or unfamiliar situations as young children. This type of temperament is called behavioral inhibition (BI), an enduring trait for some and a predisposing factor for the development of later anxiety disorders, particularly SOC (Chronis-Tuscano et al., 2009; Kagan, 2017).

Discuss Kendall’s CBT treatment program Coping Cat, for treating social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, and separation anxiety disorder.

ANSWER:

The CBT treatment program Coping Cat, developed by Philip Kendall and his colleagues, is one of the most carefully evaluated treatments for youngsters 7 to 13 years old who have GAD, SAD, and SOC (Kendall, Furr, & Podell, 2010). A teen version is available, as is an Australian adaptation (Coping Koala). This approach emphasizes learning processes and the influence of contingencies and models, as well as the pivotal role of information processing.

Treatment is directed at decreasing negative thinking, increasing active problem solving, and providing the child with a functional coping outlook. The intervention creates behavioral experiences with emotional involvement while simultaneously addressing thought processes (Kendall et al., 2010).

61. What are some of the paradoxical dilemmas commonly faced by maltreated children?

ANSWER:

The victim not only wants to stop the violence but also longs to belong to a family.

Loyalty and strong emotional ties to the abuser are powerful opponents to the victim’s desire to be safe and protected. Affection and attention may coexist with violence and abuse. A recurring cycle may begin, whereby mounting tension, characterized by fear and anticipation, ultimately gives way to more abusive behavior. A period of reconciliation may follow, with increased affection and attention. Children are always hopeful that the abuse will not recur.

The intensity of the violence tends to increase over time, although in some cases physical violence may decrease or even stop altogether. Abusive behavior may vary throughout the relationship, taking verbal, sexual, emotional, or physical forms, but the adult’s abuse of power and control remains the central issue.

63. Compare and contrast elements of a positive parenting style with elements of a negative parenting style.

ANSWER:

A positive parenting style provides a variety of sensory stimulation and positive emotional expressions, expresses joy at a child’s efforts and accomplishments, engages in competent, child-centered interactions to encourage development, as well as friendly, positive interactions that encourage independent exploration. A positive style also demonstrates consistency and predictability to promote the parent–child relationship, makes rules for safety and health, and employs appropriate safeguards based on the child’s age. These parents occasionally scold, criticize, and interrupt child activity, and they teach the child through behavioral rather than psychological control methods, using emotional delivery and tone that are firm but not frightening. In contrast, negative parenting styles express conditional love and ambivalent feelings toward the child, showing little sensitivity to the child’s needs. Negative parenting rejects the child’s attention and takes advantage of the child’s dependency status through coercion, threats, or bribes, as well as responding unpredictably, typically accompanied by emotional discharge. Rules and limits are sporadic and capricious, and they tend to be exploited for the parent’s benefit. Disciplinary practices include cruel and harsh control methods with emphasis on frightening, threatening, denigrating, and insulting the child.

64. Describe the continuum of child care.

ANSWER:

At the positive end of this continuum, we see appropriate and healthy forms of child-rearing actions that promote child development. Competent parents encourage their child’s development in a variety of ways and match their demands and expectations to the child’s needs and abilities. Of course, parents are human, and many on occasion will scold, criticize, or even show insensitivity to the child’s state of need; in fact, discipline often requires such firm control, with accompanying verbal statements and affect. Poor/dysfunctional actions, shown in the middle of the diagram, represent greater degrees of irresponsible and harmful child care.

Parents who show any discernible degree of these actions toward their child often need instruction and assistance in effective child-care methods. Finally, the far right of the diagram depicts parents who violate their child’s basic needs and dependency status in a physically, sexually, or emotionally intrusive or abusive manner. Similarly, their failure to respond to a child’s needs is the cornerstone of neglect.

66. What is the nature of maltreated children’s representational models of themselves and others?

ANSWER:

Maltreated children often lack these core positive beliefs about themselves and their world.

Instead, they may develop negative representational models of themselves and others based on a sense of inner “badness,” self-blame, shame, or rage, all of which further impair their ability to regulate their affective responses (Simon, Feiring, & McElroy, 2010; Valentino et al., 2008).

ANSWER:

This relationship between being abused as a child and becoming abusive toward others as an adult is known as the “cycle-of-violence hypothesis.” Although victims of violence have a greater chance of becoming perpetrators of violence, this relationship is not inevitable and it can be attenuated through early intervention (Berlin et al., 2011).

Traumatic events are defined as exposure to actual or threatened harm or fear of death or injury and are considered uncommon or extreme stressors. Such terrifying or life-threatening events are wide-ranging. They include careless or intentional acts such as physical and sexual abuse, neglect, and exposure to domestic and community violence, as well as unintended medical traumas, accidents, natural disasters, war, terrorism, refugee trauma, and traumatic loss (Gerson & Rappaport, 2013).

ANSWER:

In a dynamic process, parental and situational factors interact over time to either increase or decrease the risk of physical abuse or neglect (MacKenzie, Kotch, & Lee, 2011). Figure 12.3 depicts this dynamic process in relation to three hypothetical transitional stages. These stages suggest that maladaptive interaction patterns, like adaptive ones, do not develop simply because of the predilections of the parent or child. On the contrary, these patterns are the result of complex interactions between child characteristics, parental personality and style, the history of the parent–child relationship, and the supportive or nonsupportive nature of the broader social context within which the family is embedded (Wolfe, 1999). This process, moreover, includes both destabilizing and compensatory factors that can influence the likelihood of abuse or neglect in a negative or positive fashion, respectively.

70. What are some of the media and entertainment industry’s influences on child maltreatment?

ANSWER:

Consider how the entertainment industry, including many aspects of the media and professional sports, earns billions of dollars in profits from exploiting our interests in violence in all of its forms. Equally disturbing is the portrayal of sex roles by society’s envoys in the media and the entertainment industry: Females are stereotypically presented as relatively powerless and passive and men as vested with power; women are encouraged to defer to the benevolence of powerful men, and men are encouraged to challenge the autonomy of powerful and assertive women (Hedley, 2002). These cultural phenomena are ingrained through years of repeated imagery, and they are presumed to be the basis for the motivation of some men to maintain control and power in a relationship (Williams, 2003).

Describe acute stress disorder and distinguish from PTSD. ANSWER:

Acute stress disorder is characterized by the development during or within 1 month after exposure to an extreme traumatic stressor of at least nine symptoms associated with intrusion, negative mood, dissociation, avoidance, and arousal (these are largely the same symptoms as PTSD, described below, but last for 1 month or less). Similar to PTSD, the traumatic event is relived over and over, leading to attempts to avoid any reminders that arouse memories of it.

Acute stress disorder emphasizes the more immediate, but short-term, dissociative reactions to trauma, whereas PTSD reflects the longer-lasting, ongoing pattern.

72. What would be considered manageable stress for children?

ANSWER:

All children must cope with various degrees of stress, and these experiences can be strengthening if they do not exceed the child’s coping ability—that is, the nature and amount of stress is manageable (Masten & Wright, 2010). Stressful experiences that are mild, predictable, and brief are usually manageable and can actually enhance a child’s biological and psychological competence (Thompson, 2014).

75. Describe treatments used for physically abused or neglected children.

ANSWER:

Interventions for physical abuse usually involve ways to change how parents teach, discipline, and attend to their children, most often by training parents in basic child-rearing skills, accompanied by cognitive–behavioral methods that target specific anger patterns or distorted beliefs. Treatment for child neglect also focuses on parenting skills and expectations, coupled with teaching parents how to improve their skills in organizing important family needs—such as home safety, finances, and medical needs, among others—as well as drug and alcohol counseling (Azar & Wolfe, 2006). Similarly, children who have witnessed violence in the home benefit from interventions that address their needs in the context of their family circumstances.

For example, their nonoffending mothers may attend treatment with them, so that mothers learn ways to deal with problematic child behavior while also providing appropriate maternal support (Graham-Bermann et al., 2007; Jaffe et al., 2011).

61. What is the nature of the relationship between sleep problems and psychological adjustment?

ANSWER:

Sleep problems may cause emotional and behavioral problems among children and adolescents, and they may be caused by a psychological disorder. An underlying factor common to both sleep problems and other disorders may cause sleep issues in some cases.

Problems in the brain’s arousal and regulatory systems can cause increased anxiety and can affect sleep (see Chapter 11). Stress-related events, especially those that affect the child’s safety—such as war, disaster, and family conflict—both increase arousal and interfere with normal sleep patterns (El-Sheikh, Bub, et al., 2013; Kelly & El-Sheikh, 2013). Simply stated, sleep–wake disorders can cause other psychological problems, or they can result from other disorders or conditions. Sleep–wake disorders have considerable importance to abnormal child psychology because they mimic or worsen many of the symptoms of major disorders.

Why do children spend much of their early developmental years asleep?

ANSWER:

Arguably, sleep is the primary activity of the brain during the early years of development.

Consider this: By 2 years of age, the average child has spent almost 10,000 hours (nearly 14 months) asleep, and approximately 7,500 hours (about 10 months) in waking activities (Anders, Goodlin-Jones, & Sadeh, 2000). During those two years, the brain has reached 90% of its adult size and the child has attained remarkable complexity in cognitive skills, language, concept of self, socioemotional development, and physical skills (Dahl, 2007; Dahl & El-Sheikh, 2007).

And most of these maturational advances occurred while the child was asleep.

63. Distinguish between dyssomnias and parasomnias.

ANSWER:

Dyssomnias are disorders of initiating or maintaining sleep, characterized by difficulty getting enough sleep, not sleeping when you want to, not feeling refreshed after sleeping, and so forth.

Parasomnias, in contrast, are sleep disorders in which behavioral or physiological events intrude on ongoing sleep. Whereas dyssomnias involve disruptions in the sleep process, parasomnias involve physiological or cognitive arousal at inappropriate times during the sleep–wake cycle, which can result in sleepwalking or in nightmares that jolt someone from sleep. Persons suffering from parasomnia sleep disorders often report unusual behaviors while asleep, rather than sleepiness or insomnia.

ANSWER:

They include nightmares (repeated awakenings, with frightening dreams that you usually remember), sleep terrors (abrupt awakening, accompanied by autonomic arousal but no recall), and sleepwalking (getting out of bed and walking around, but with no recall the next day).

Nightmares occur during rapid-eye-movement (REM) (dream) sleep, usually during the second half of the sleep period, whereas sleep terrors and sleepwalking occur during non-REM (NREM) sleep (for this reason, DSM-5 combines sleep terrors and sleepwalking into one category: NREM sleep arousal disorders). Sleep terrors and sleepwalking occur during deep sleep in the first third of the sleep cycle, when the person is so soundly asleep that he or she is difficult to arouse and has no recall of the episode the next morning (Reid et al., 2009).

65. Discuss how symptoms of sleep disturbances can appear similar to diagnosable disorders, such as ADHD. ANSWER:

Perhaps you have noticed how sleep problems co-occur with many different disorders, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, anxiety, conduct problems, and developmental disorders (Chorney et al., 2008; Kelly & El-Sheikh, 2013). This connection raises an important consideration: Do sleep problems cause other disorders, or do they result from them? The answer to this question requires an understanding of how sleep problems interact with a person’s psychological well-being. Since sleep problems commonly arise from particular stressors—an upcoming exam or a relationship problem—we tend to think that sleep difficulties are secondary symptoms of a more primary problem. However, the relationship between sleep problems and psychological adjustment is bidirectional.

Explain how behavioral conditioning methods can be used to treat enuresis.

ANSWER:

The standard behavioral intervention, based on classical conditioning principles, is using an alarm that sounds at the first detection of urine. Bed-wetting alarms have been around since Mowrer and Mowrer (1938) first invented the “bell and pad” (a battery-operated device that produced a loud sound as soon as a drop of urine closed the electrical circuit), and they are among the safest and most effective treatments. Modern alarms have a simple moisture sensor that snaps into a child’s pajamas, with a small speaker attached to the shoulder to awaken the child. A single drop of urine completes the electronic circuit, setting off a piercing alarm that causes the child to tense and reflexively stop urinating.

67. What are some of the most important correlates of adjustment of children to chronic illness?

ANSWER:

When maternal abilities remain intact, child and family functioning is less impaired. This illustrates the reciprocal relationship between children’s adjustment and parental stress and distress—healthy parental adjustment is related to healthy child adjustment, and vice versa.

(Most research has considered only the role of mothers on child adjustment, but the specific influence of fathers on children’s coping and adaptation to chronic illness is being recognized [Ware & Raval, 2007].) Thus, parental adjustment is one of the important correlates of children’s adjustment to chronic illness.

Discuss the transactional stress and coping model (for chronic childhood illness) as proposed by Thompson and colleagues.

ANSWER:

The transactional stress and coping model explains how children’s adaptation to chronic illness is influenced not only by the nature of the illness itself but also by personal and family resources (Gustafson et al., 2006; Thompson et al., 1994). This model helps make sense of the complicated processes that shape children’s outcomes. The transactional stress and coping model emphasizes the stressful nature of chronic illness, which compels the child and family members to adapt. How they accomplish the adaptation is a key factor in children’s outcomes.

69. Michelle has recently been diagnosed with childhood cancer. Understandably, her parents are concerned about her well-being and want to know how they can best help Michelle to cope with the painful procedures she will have to endure. What advice and suggestions would you make to Michelle’s parents?

ANSWER:

In general, there are two main psychological approaches to helping children cope with stressful medical procedures and chronic and recurrent pain: providing information and training them in coping skills (Thompson & Gustafson, 1996). Information strategies offer verbal explanations and demonstrations as well as modeling the procedure, which reduce distress because this makes the medical procedure more predictable (Jaaniste, Hayes, & von Baeyer, 2007).

Coping strategies involve teaching the various coping skills of deep breathing, attention distraction muscle relaxation, relaxing imagery, emotive imagery, and behavioral rehearsal (e.g., children may be asked to imagine themselves as superheroes undergoing a test of their powers) (Dahlquist, 1999). Children are encouraged to identify specific stressors associated with their illness (e.g., giving themselves an injection) and to learn ways to handle those stressors and prevent distress or failure.

Children and teens must carefully follow the instructions given to them by their physicians and practice careful regimen adherence. This requires children to have correct knowledge about their disease and its treatment, recognizing the need to adhere to treatment needs, and adequate problem-solving skills. Adolescence is a particularly difficult period for diabetics because of the impact that the illness can have on self-esteem and social and educational experiences.

ANSWER:

Children with cancer undergo complicated medical treatment regimens, especially in the years immediately following diagnosis. They face school absences, significant treatment side effects, and an uncertain prognosis. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy can cause hair loss and weight changes, as well as nausea, vomiting, increased fatique, endocrine and growth retardation, and a depressed immune system. Treatment requires children to be away from friends and some family members, hindering their psychosocial development.

Define and give an example of psychological dependence and physical dependence.

ANSWER:

Psychological dependence refers to the subjective feeling of needing the substance to adequately function. Physical dependence occurs when the body adapts to the substance’s constant presence, and tolerance refers to requiring more of the substance to experience an effect once obtained at a lower dose. Another aspect of physical dependence is the experience of withdrawal, an adverse physiological symptom that occurs when consumption of an abused substance is ended abruptly and is thus removed from the body.

73. Identify and describe the leading causes of adolescent substance use.

ANSWER:

Several pathways and various risk factors have been associated with substance abuse in adolescents, including personality associated with substance use; perceiving oneself to be physically older than same-age peers and striving or adult social roles are risky attitudes held by some teens. Feelings about school—in particular how connected they feel to their school community—are associated with a lower risk for use of substances. Adolescents with a positive family history for alcoholism may inherit certain brain structures and functional abilities from parents. Additionally, low parental monitoring is a predictor of adolescent substance abuse. Finally, the importance of peers and peer culture plays a large role in determining the extent to which teens use and abuse substances.

Derived from interventions for conduct disorders, family-based approaches seek to modify negative interactions between family members, improve communication between members, and develop effective problem-solving skills to address areas of conflict (Anderson et al., 2007; Spoth et al., 2012). Multisystemic therapy (MST), for example, involves intensive intervention that targets family, peer, school, and community systems; it has been especially effective in the treatment of SUDs among delinquent adolescents (Henggeler et al., 2008).

Life skills training, a detailed and well-evaluated program, emphasizes building drug resistance skills, personal and social competence, and altering cognitive expectancies around substance use (Griffin & Botvin, 2010). Because adolescents must receive consistent messages and reinforcement regarding pressures to use alcohol and drugs, as well as develop effective refusal skills, societal messages about responsible use are emphasized to influence students’ behavior.

Societal norms and media’s focus on thinness and attractiveness are partly to blame for weight consciousness among pre-teen girls (Bell & Dittmar, 2011; Nouri, Hill, & Orrell-Valente, 2011).

In addition, normal concerns about weight and appearance can either be reduced or increased by the comments of parents, friends, and romantic partners. The effects of the early parent– child relationship on fundamental biological processes such as eating and growth patterns are of paramount importance (Corning et al., 2010).

ANSWER:

Decreasing caloric intake reduces a person’s metabolic rate, which allows fat to remain in the cells so that weight loss is, in fact, impeded. This failure to lose weight sets the stage for a vicious cycle of increased commitment to dieting and vulnerability to binge eating.

Psychological consequences also contribute to this cycle by creating what some researchers call the “false hope syndrome”—an initial commitment to change one’s appearance leads to short-term improvements in mood and self-image, but this hope declines as feelings of failure and loss of control increase (Polivy & Herman, 2005). Loss of control may lead to binge eating, and purging is seen as a way to counteract the perceived effects of binge eating on weight gain.

63. Why is it often difficult to lose weight?

ANSWER:

In effect, people who gain or lose weight will experience metabolic changes that strive to bring the body back to its natural weight. If fat levels decrease below our body’s normal range, the brain (specifically, the hypothalamus) compensates by slowing metabolism. We begin to feel lethargic, we increase our sleep, and our body temperature decreases slightly to conserve energy (which is why many persons with anorexia complain of being cold). In this state of relative deprivation, uncontrollable urges to binge are common because our bodies are telling us that they need more food than they are getting to function properly. Similarly, the body fights against weight gain by increasing metabolism and raising body temperature in an effort to burn off extra calories. (Admittedly, this valiant effort is seldom enough to conquer the force of holidays and other feasts.) Because of its responsivity to change, researchers often compare the body’s set point to the setting on a thermostat that regulates room temperature. When room temperature falls below a certain range, the thermostat automatically sends a signal to the heating system to increase the heat level until it again reaches the established temperature setting. Human bodies respond similarly to deviations in body weight by turning their metabolic “furnace” up or down (Wilkin, 2010).

Twelve-month old Dean has been diagnosed with failure to thrive. You have been asked to formulate a general treatment plan. What might you include in your treatment plan and why?

ANSWER:

Because the mother–child relationship during the early stages of attachment is critical, eating disorders shown by infants and young children may be symptomatic of a fundamental problem in this relationship (Lyons-Ruth et al., 2014). Thus, treatment regimens involve a detailed assessment of feeding behavior and parent–child interactions, such as smiling, talking, and soothing, while allowing the parents to play a role in the infant’s recovery (Atalay & McCord, 2011; Linscheid, 2006).

Discuss three risks that are associated with infant and early childhood feeding disorders.

ANSWER:

Drive for thinness is a key motivational variable that underlies dieting and body image, among young females in particular, whereby the individual believes that losing more weight is the answer to overcoming her troubles and to achieving success (Philipsen & Brooks-Gunn, 2008).

However, such behavior creates the negative side effects of weight preoccupation, concern with appearance, and restrained eating, which increase the risk of an eating disorder (Touyz, Polivy, & Hay, 2008). Disturbed eating attitudes describe a person’s belief that cultural standards for attractiveness, body image, and social acceptance are closely tied to one’s ability to control diet and weight gain.

67. Why are eating disorders in infants and young children often considered symptomatic of a problem in the mother– child relationship?

ANSWER:

A prominent controversy concerns the significance of emotional deprivation (lack of love) and malnutrition (lack of food), especially for failure to thrive. Investigators have argued that the infant with FTT, for example, has been deprived of maternal stimulation and love, which results in emotional misery, developmental delays, and eventually, physiological changes. In one study, mothers of infants diagnosed with FTT were found to be more insecurely attached than mothers of normal infants. These mothers also were more passive and confused and either became intensely angry when discussing past and current attachment relationships or dismissed the attachments as unimportant and noninfluential (Benoit, Zeanah, & Barton, 1989). Children who have suffered from FTT as a result of early abuse exhibit poorer outcomes 20 years later than children whose failure to thrive resulted from neglect, lack of parenting, or feeding difficulties (Iwaniec, Sheddon, & Allen, 2003).

Outline and describe the dangers of obesity in children and adolescents.

ANSWER:

Obesity can affect a child’s psychological and physical development significantly. Obese children and adolescents are five times more likely than healthy children to experience an impaired quality of life, similar to children with cancer. Individuals with obesity risk many health concerns, including cardiovascular problems, diabetes, and elevated cholesterol and triglycerides. Obesity in children is a risk factor in the later emergence of eating disorders, and it is strongly correlated with teasing by peers, which leads to dissatisfaction with appearance and body image. Finally, obesity is a major factor in reducing life expectancy in Western society.

69. Distinguish between anorexia and bulimia, both in terms of their major features as well as their associated characteristics. In what ways are these two eating disorders similar?

ANSWER:

Although the word anorexia literally means “loss of appetite,” that definition is misleading because the person with this disorder rarely suffers appetite loss. Weight loss is accomplished deliberately through a very restricted diet, purging, and/or exercise. Although many persons occasionally use these methods to lose weight, the individual with anorexia intensely fears obesity and pursues thinness relentlessly. The DSM-5 specifies two subtypes of anorexia based on the methods used to limit caloric intake. In the restricting type, individuals seek to lose weight primarily through diet, fasting, or excessive exercise; in the binge eating/purging type, the individual regularly engages in episodes of binge eating or purging, or both. Compared with persons with bulimia, those with the binge eating/purging type of anorexia eat relatively small amounts of food and commonly purge more consistently and thoroughly. Of the two major forms of eating disorders afflicting adolescents and young adults, bulimia nervosa is far more common than anorexia. The DSM-5 diagnostic criteria listed in Table 14.2 note that the primary hallmark of bulimia is binge eating. Because most of us overeat certain foods at certain times, you may ask, “What exactly is a binge?” As noted in the criteria, a binge is an episode of overeating that must involve (1) an objectively large amount of food (more than most people would eat under the circumstances) and (2) lack of control over what or how much food is eaten. No specific quantity of food constitutes a binge—the context of the behavior that must also be considered. The second important part of the diagnostic criteria involves the individual’s attempts to compensate somehow for a binge. Compensatory behaviors are intended to prevent weight gain following a binge episode and include selfinduced vomiting, fasting, exercising, and the misuse of diuretics, laxatives, enemas, or diet pills.

70. What are the commonalities among males and females who have eating disorders as well as the differences each have regarding body ideals?

ANSWER:

There is increased recognition that eating disorders are more common among young men than was originally believed. Males also are subjected to powerful media images although perhaps not to the same extent as females. The increasingly muscular male body ideal may be contributing to body dissatisfaction, disordered eating, and harmful weight-control or bodybuilding behaviors (Smolak & Stein, 2010). Young men with eating disorders show some of the same clinical features as young women with eating disorders. However, young men show less of a preoccupation with food or a drive for thinness; rather, they want to be more muscular than they actually are and more muscular than the average male body (Olivardia et al., 2004).

In addition, young men and boys are more likely to engage in excessive exercising and overeating, whereas young women and girls are more likely to engage in purging behaviors, to report loss of control while eating, and to try to reduce their caloric intake (von Ranson & Wallace, 2014).

71. Discuss what is meant in the recent research that indicated that anorexia may not be a culture-bound syndrome and that bulimia may be considered a culture-bound syndrome.

ANSWER:

Anorexia has been observed in Western countries as well as every non-Western region of the world, suggesting that anorexia may not be a “culture-bound” syndrome as once believed (Sohl, Touyzl, & Surgenor, 2006). It is becoming increasingly clear that eating disorders do not always manifest the same way in different cultures. In Hong Kong, for example, studies suggest that anorexia may be divided into fat-phobic and non-fat-phobic subtypes and that questionnaires used in Western countries to assess eating disorders may not be sufficiently sensitive to detect the Chinese non-fat-phobic subtype (Lee, Lee, & Leung, 1998). However, the cross-cultural evidence for bulimia and BED outside of a Western context tells a different story. Keel and Klump’s (2003) review of culture and eating disorders found no studies reporting the presence of bulimia in individuals who have not been exposed to Western ideals. Epidemiological data for bulimia in non-Western nations suggest that bulimia has a lower prevalence than anorexia in these countries, and even when it is found in non-Western nations, it is not found in the absence of Western influence. A meta-analysis examining the role of ethnicity and culture in the development of eating disturbances found few differences across ethnic groups for bulimia (Wildes & Emery, 2001). These findings seem to suggest that bulimia is a culture-bound syndrome, arising predominantly in Western regions of the world or in places where individuals probably or definitely have been exposed to Western ideals and culture (Anderson-Fye, 2009).

ANSWER:

Childhood obesity prevention and intervention efforts focus on the child’s health as well as the family’s resources. Proper nutrition, not necessarily dieting, is recommended by pediatricians.

Emphasis on family functioning is critical, as this relates to eating patterns and choices. Efforts to curb childhood obesity often focus on addressing parents’ knowledge of nutrition and increasing children’s physical activity levels.

73. In what ways may family members contribute to the development of an eating disorder?

ANSWER:

From the very start, researchers and clinicians have placed considerable importance on the role of the family, and parental psychopathology in particular, in considering causes of eating disorders. They have argued that alliances, conflicts, or interactional patterns within a family may play a causal role in the development of eating disorders among some individuals (Minuchin, Rosman, & Baker, 1978). Accordingly, a teen’s eating disorder may be functional in that it directs attention away from basic conflicts in the family to the teen’s more obvious (symptomatic) problem. Evidence has confirmed that families with members who have eating disorders report worse family functioning than control families, although a typical pattern of family dysfunction is not evident (Holtom-Viesel & Allan, 2014).

Describe how cognitive–behavioral therapy might be used to treat an individual with an eating disorder.

ANSWER:

The goals of CBT are to modify abnormal cognitions on the importance of body shape and weight and to replace efforts at dietary restraint and purging with more normal eating and activity patterns (Poulsen et al., 2014; Touyz et al., 2008). CBT for the treatment of bulimia includes several components. Patients are first taught to self-monitor their food intake and bingeing and purging episodes, as well as any thoughts and feelings that trigger these episodes.

This is combined with regular weighing; specific recommendations on how to achieve desired goals, such as the introduction of avoided foods and meal planning, designed to normalize eating behavior and curb restrictive dieting; cognitive restructuring aimed at habitual reasoning errors and underlying assumptions relevant to the development and maintenance of the eating disorder; and regular review and revision of these procedures to prevent relapse.

75. What interventions are used for bulimia, and are they successful?

ANSWER:

As noted, the most effective current therapies for bulimia involve CBT delivered individually or by involving the family unit (Rutherford & Couturier, 2007; Wilson et al., 2007). Cognitive– behavioral therapists change eating behaviors by rewarding or modeling appropriate behaviors, and by helping patients change distorted or rigid thinking patterns that may contribute to their obsession. CBT has become the standard treatment for bulimia, and it forms the theoretical base for much of the treatment for anorexia (Chavez & Insel, 2007). This evidence-based treatment is appropriate for patients whose age does not mandate family therapy and whose symptoms are moderate to severe.

SHORT RESPONSE 1 : How has the societal view of children changed throughout history and who were some of the major historical figures responsible for these changes?

Correct Answer : Early writings suggest that children were considered servants of the state in the city-states of early Greece. Ancient Greek and Roman societies believed that any person— young or old—with a physical or mental handicap, disability, or deformity was an economic burden and a social embarrassment, and thus was to be scorned, abandoned, or put to death.

Today we recognize children as valuable, independent of any other purpose, to help them develop normal lives and competencies. Some of the major influences were Freud, Watson, and Locke.

2 : Compare and contrast various childhood risk factors that increase a childs vulnerability for developing a psychological disorder.

Correct Answer : Children who face many known risk factors, such as community violence and parental divorce, are vulnerable to abnormal development. Acute, stressful situations as well as chronic adversity put children’s successful development at risk. Chronic poverty, serious caregiving deficits, parental mental illness, divorce, homelessness, and racial prejudice are known risk factors that increase children’s vulnerability to psychopathology—especially in the absence of compensatory strengths and resources.

3 : In regard to legislation pertaining to children with special needs and education, what is IDEA and what does it mandate?

Correct Answer : In the United States, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA; Public Law 104-446) mandates free and appropriate public education for any child with special needs in the least restrictive environment for that child; each child with special needs, regardless of age, must be assessed with culturally appropriate tests; each of these children must have an individualized education program (IEP) tailored to his or her needs, and must be reassessed.

4 : What is an IEP and what is its purpose?

Correct Answer : An IEP is an individualized education program tailored to his or her needs and must be reassessed.

5 : What is the goal of the Treaty that the United Nations General Assembly adopted in 2007 regarding persons with disabilities?

Correct Answer : In 2007, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a new convention to protect the rights of persons with disabilities around the world. This convention represents an important shift from addressing the “special needs” of children to realizing their rights and removing the physical, linguistic, social, and cultural barriers that remain. Countries that ratify the convention agree to enact laws and other measures to improve disability rights, and also to abolish legislation, customs, and practices that discriminate against persons with disabilities.

6 : What should be considered when diagnosing most child and adolescent psychological disorders?

development and consider each child’s unique methods of coping and way of compensating for difficulties.

7 : In what ways can low income and/or poverty affect childrens development?

Correct Answer : Poverty has a significant, yet indirect, effect on children’s adjustment, most likely because of its association with negative influences—particularly harsh, inconsistent parenting and elevated exposure to acute and chronic stressors—that define the day-to-day experiences of children in poverty.

8 : Define the concept of competence. How may competence be assessed?

Correct Answer : Definitions of abnormal child behavior must consider the child’s competence—that is, the ability to successfully adapt in the environment. Developmental tasks, which include broad domains of competence such as conduct and academic achievement, tell how children typically progress within each domain as they grow. Knowledge of the developmental tasks provides an important backdrop for considering a child or adolescent’s developmental progress and impairments.

9 : Distinguish between the concepts of multifinality and equifinality. Provide an example of each concept.

Correct Answer : Multifinality is a concept that proposes that various outcomes may stem from similar beginnings (in this case, child maltreatment). Equifinality is a concept that proposes that similar outcomes stem from different early experiences and developmental pathways.

10 : Distinguish between risk and resilience.

Correct Answer : A risk factor is a variable that precedes a negative outcome of interest and increases the chances that the outcome will occur. Children who survive risky environments by using their strong self-confidence, coping skills, and abilities to avoid risk situations may be considered resilient—they seem able to fight off or recover from their misfortune.

11 : What are some of the key factors affecting rates and expression of mental disorders?

Correct Answer : New pressures and social changes may place children at increasing risk for the development of disorders at younger ages (Obradovic et al., 2010). Many stressors today are quite different from those faced by our parents and grandparents. Some have been around for generations: chronic poverty, inequality, family breakup, single parenting, and so on. Others are more recent or are now more visible: homelessness, adjustment problems of children in immigrant families, inadequate child care available to working parents, and conditions associated with the impact of prematurity, parental HIV, and cocaine or alcohol abuse on children’s growth and development.

12 : What are some of the findings regarding sex differences in childrens mental health problems?

Correct Answer : Hyperactivity, autism, childhood disruptive behavior disorders, and learning and communication disorders are more common in boys than in girls; the opposite is true for most anxiety disorders, adolescent depression, and eating disorders.

13 : What child-rearing environment predicts the best resiliency for boys, and which predicts the best for girls?

ScholarFriends.com

2 / 14

Correct Answer : Resilience in boys is associated with households in which there is a male role model (such as a father, grandfather, or older brother); structure; rules; and some encouragement of emotional expressiveness. In contrast, girls who display resilience come from households that combine risk taking and independence with support from a female caregiver.

14 : Discuss the influence of race and ethnicity in the development of psychological disorders.

Correct Answer : Children from certain ethnic and racial groups in the United States are overrepresented in rates of some disorders, such as substance abuse, delinquency, and teen suicide (Nguyen et al., 2007). However, once the effects of socioeconomic status (SES), sex, age, and referral status are controlled for (i.e., the unique contributions of these factors are removed or accounted for), few differences in the rate of children’s psychological disorders emerge in relation to race or ethnicity.

15 : Discuss the difficulties sexual minority youth experience in society and which mental health disorders they are most at risk for developing.

Correct Answer : According to several large surveys of LGBT youths in middle and high schools, they are more likely to be victimized by their peers as well as by family members, and they report more bullying, teasing, harassment, and physical assault than other students. Given the stigma and prejudice that exist in many parts of society, it is not surprising that young people who are LGBT have higher rates of mental health problems, including depression and suicidal behavior, substance abuse, and risky sexual behavior, as compared with their heterosexual counterparts.

16 : Compare and contrast the factors that are most associated with the standard of normal behavior between adults and children. How are the standards of normal differently assessed for children as compared to adults and what are some potential problems with a system that involves an arbitrary standard for determining who is normal versus abnormal?

Correct Answer : The current system involves an arbitrary line that determines normal versus abnormal behavior that can lead to problems with labels, stigma, incorrect diagnosis, and ineffective treatments. Adult patterns of abnormal behavior include personal distress, impairment of daily function, and increased risk of harm to self or others. Childhood abnormal behavior is assessed in terms of developmental pathways, which include reviewing various domains of competency, resiliency, and risk factors that may increase vulnerability. The process for both children and adults involves agreement about particular patterns of behavior, emotional and physical symptoms show by the individual.

17 : Do the majority of children with psychological disorders have access to appropriate mental health services? Support your answer with evidence and discuss the long-term implications for this current mental health system.

Correct Answer : No, fewer than 10% of children with mental health problems receive appropriate services at the appropriate time. Limited access to appropriate services increases long-term vulnerability and dysfunction.

18 : Compare and contrast the psychoanalytic perspective with behaviorism. Discuss the key figures associated with each area of psychology and major theories. Identify the perspective that has contributed the most to current treatments for childhood psychological disorders.

Correct Answer : Freud is most associated with psychoanalytic theory, which asserted that ScholarFriends.com

behaviors are the result of unresolved, unconscious conflicts. Freud is the first to associate childhood experiences with mental disorders. Behaviorism includes theories that highlight the influence of the environment on behavior and include classical conditioning. Pavlov, Watson, and Skinner are most associated with this perspective. The development of evidence-based treatments are most associated with behaviorism.

SHORT RESPONSE 1 : Discuss the three major underlying assumptions regarding abnormal child behavior.

Correct Answer : The first underlying assumption is that abnormal child behavior is multiply determined. Thus, we have to look beyond the child’s current symptoms and consider developmental pathways and interacting events that, over time, contribute to the expression of a particular disorder. The second assumption extends the influence of multiple causes by stressing how the child and environment are interdependent—how they influence each other.

This concept departs from the tradition of viewing the environment as acting on the child to cause changes in development, and instead argues that children also influence their own environment. In simple terms, the concept of interdependence appreciates how nature and nurture work together and are, in fact, interconnected. Few psychological disorders or impairments suddenly emerge without at least some warning signs or connections to earlier developmental issues. This connection is apparent, for example, in early-onset and persistent conduct disorders, with which parents and other adults often see troublesome behaviors at a young age that continue in some form into adolescence and adulthood.

2 : Distinguish between continuous and discontinuous patterns of behavior development. Which category would an eating disorder fall? Which category would persistent conduct disorders fall?

Correct Answer : Continuity implies that developmental changes are gradual and quantitative (i.e., expressed as amounts that can be measured numerically, such as weight and height changes) and that future behavior patterns can be predicted from earlier patterns. Discontinuity, in contrast, implies that developmental changes are abrupt and qualitative (i.e., expressed as qualities that cannot be measured numerically, such as changes in mood or expression) and that future behavior is poorly predicted by earlier patterns.An eating disorder is discontinuous.

Persistent conduct disorder is continuous 3 : What is meant by using an integrative approach to understanding factors that influence a childs behavior?

Correct Answer : Because no single theoretical orientation can explain various behaviors or disorders, we must be familiar with many theories and conceptual models—each contributes important insights into normal and abnormal development.

4 : Most children follow a predictable pattern of development in terms of walking, talking, learning, and so on. Additionally most clinical disorders commonly appear at predictable points in development. For the following ages, list two common clinical disorders: 02, 25, and 611.

Correct Answer : 0–2: mental retardation and autism; 2–5: speech and language disorders, anxiety, and problems stemming from child abuse and neglect; 6–11: ADHD and learning disorders.

5 : How can a baby with a difficult temperament influence and be influenced by the environment?

Correct Answer : This dimension describes the “difficult child,” who is predominantly negative or intense in mood, not very adaptable, and arrhythmic. Some children with this temperament show distress when faced with novel or challenging situations, and others are prone to general distress or irritability, including when limitations are placed on them.

6 : Discuss how children learn from their emotions and the emotional expression of others.

Correct Answer : Children have a natural tendency to attend to emotional cues from others, which helps them learn to interpret and regulate their own emotions. They learn, from a very young age, through the emotional expressions of others.

7 : How permanent are early neuronal connections?

Correct Answer : This question has provoked different theories and agonized many parents who are concerned about their children’s early development. For instance, if early brain functions are unlikely to change, this implies that early experiences set the course for lifetime development. Freud’s similar contention implied that an individual’s core personality is formed from an early age, which sets the pace and boundaries for further personality formation.

8 : Discuss the major functions of four major neurotransmitters in the brain and their implicated role in psychopathology.

Correct Answer : Benzodiazepine-GABA reduces arousal and moderates emotional responses, such as anger and hostility; it is implicated in anxiety disorder. Dopamine may act as a switch that turns on various brain circuits, allowing other neurotransmitters to inhibit or facilitate emotions or behavior and is implicated in schizophrenia, mood disorders, and attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder. Norepinephrine facilitates or controls emergency reactions and alarm responses; it plays a role in emotional and behavioral regulation, but is not directly implicated with any specific disorder. Serotonin plays a role in information and motor coordination, and is implicated in regulatory problems, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, and mood disorders.

9 : Caspi (2003) conducted a study that connected early temperament style in children, and their personality traits as adults. Is this study practically helpful in terms of what we can do, if anything, to prevent a difficult child with self-control issues from being a difficult adult with selfcontrol issues?

Correct Answer : Yes. 10 : Distinguish between emotion reactivity and emotion regulation.

Correct Answer : Emotion reactivity refers to individual differences in the threshold and intensity of emotional experience, which provide clues to an individual’s level of distress and sensitivity to the environment. Emotion regulation, on the other hand, involves enhancing, maintaining, or inhibiting emotional arousal, which is usually done for a specific purpose or goal.

11 : Briefly describe the three primary dimensions of temperament.

Correct Answer : Positive affect and approach. This dimension describes the “easy child,” who is generally approachable and adaptive to his or her environment and possesses the ability to regulate basic functions of eating, sleeping, and elimination relatively smoothly.Fearful or inhibited. This dimension describes the “slow-to-warm-up child,” who is cautious in his or her approach to novel or challenging situations. Such children are more variable in self-regulation and adaptability and may show distress or negativity toward some situations.Negative affect or irritability. This dimension describes the “difficult child,” who is predominantly negative or intense in mood, not very adaptable, and arrhythmic. Some children with this temperament show distress when faced with novel or challenging situations, and others are prone to general distress or irritability, including when limitations are placed on them.

12 : Provide everyday examples of positive and negative reinforcement, extinction, and punishment.

Correct Answer : An example of positive reinforcement would be a mother giving a child a special treat if the child behaved in the store. Negative reinforcement would occur when you get in your car and buckle your seatbelt in order to stop the beeping noise. If I got sick on a certain food and was then conditioned to avoid it because it caused nausea, extinction would occur when I no longer pair the sickness with the food and can eat it again. Positive punishment is an active process—doing something to someone like assigning extra chores.

13 : Explain why an integrative approach is important in abnormal psychology.

Correct Answer : Each model is restricted in its ability to explain abnormal behavior to the extent that it fails to incorporate important components of other models. Fortunately, such disciplinary boundaries are gradually diminishing as different perspectives take into account important variables derived from other models. Over time, major theories of abnormal child psychology have become compatible with one another. Rather than offering contradictory views, each theory contributes one or more pieces of the puzzle of atypical development. As all the available pieces are assembled, the picture of a particular child or adolescent disorder becomes more and more distinct.

14 : Discuss the main principles of a developmental psychopathology perspective.

Correct Answer : Developmental psychopathology is an approach to describing and studying disorders of childhood, adolescence, and beyond in a manner that emphasizes the importance of developmental processes and tasks. This approach provides a useful framework for organizing the study of abnormal child psychology around milestones and sequences in physical, cognitive, social–emotional, and educational development. It also uses abnormal development to inform normal development, and vice versa (Cicchetti, 2006; Hinshaw, 2013).

Simply stated, developmental psychopathology emphasizes the role of developmental processes, the importance of context, and the influence of multiple and interacting events in shaping adaptive and maladaptive development. We adopt this perspective as an organizing framework to describe the dynamic, multidimensional process leading to normal or abnormal outcomes in development.

15 : Why do family systems theorists stress the importance of looking at the whole family as opposed to one individuals difficulties?

Correct Answer : This view is in line with our earlier discussion of underlying assumptions about children’s abnormal development—relationships, not individual children or teens, are often the crucial focus.

SHORT RESPONSE 1 : Explain the importance of using scientific research methods and strategies in abnormal child psychology.

Correct Answer : Relationships between variables may not be as straightforward as they seem.

Complex interactions and combinations of variables can significantly influence what seems to be a simple cause-and-effect relationship. Parents and professionals may interpret and relate information according to their own beliefs, biases, and preconceived notions, which may influence their interpretations of facts.

2 : When would qualitative research be preferred over quantitative research?

Correct Answer : Proponents of qualitative research believe that it provides an intensive and intimate understanding of a situation that is rarely achieved in quantitative research (Denzin & Lincoln, 2011). Qualitative methods, such as the use of examples or stories, may be particularly engaging to children and enable the discussion of sensitive topics, while allowing the children a sense of control over the research situation.

3 : Why is it difficult to use true experimentation to study child psychopathology?

Correct Answer : Most variables of interest in child psychopathology cannot be manipulated directly, including the nature or severity of the child’s disorder, parenting practices, or genetic influences. As a result, much of the research conducted on children with problems and their families relies on nonexperimental, correlational approaches.

4 : Distinguish between interviews, questionnaires, and observations as measurement methods.

Correct Answer : Questionnaires are highly structured, whereas interviews and observations can vary from structured to more loosely structured situations and responses. However, questionnaires require significantly less time and other resources for administration compared to observations and interviews. Sources of bias with interviews and questionnaires rests with participants, but with researchers almost exclusively in observational studies. Finally, data reduction methods require significant and complex systems of analysis for both interviews and observations, but can be more standardized for questionnaires.

5 : Why is it important for research to be both reliable and valid?

Correct Answer : Results need to be consistent in order to determine that they are genuine from one trial to the next, and valid to ensure that they are measuring what they are supposed to be measuring.

6 : Distinguish between prospective and retrospective research.

Correct Answer : In a retrospective design, individuals who have shown a particular outcome of interest are identified. Assessments focus on characteristics in the past. While data are immediately available, these data are highly susceptible to bias and distortion in recall. In realtime prospective designs, the research sample is identified and then followed over time, with data collection occurring at specific intervals. The benefit of prospective designs is that problems relating to bias and distortion are minimized as data are collected in real time and are not subject to the recall biases of observers. The disadvantage of prospective designs include the loss of participants over time due to maturation and other considerations, as well as the ScholarFriends.com

Correct Answer : Although researchers are obligated to use nonharmful procedures, exposing the child to mildly stressful conditions such as a brief separation from their parent or exposure to an anxiety-producing stimulus may be necessary in some instances if benefits associated with the research are to be realized. Children are more vulnerable than adults to physical and psychological harm, and their immaturity may make it difficult or impossible for them to evaluate exactly what research participation means. In view of these realities, precautions must be taken to protect children’s rights during the course of a study.

9 : Describe two neuroimaging techniques used to examine the brain.

Correct Answer : Two types of functional imaging procedures are functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron-emission tomography (PET). fMRI is a form of MRI that registers neural activity in functioning areas of the brain. By doing so, it can show which brain areas are active during particular mental operations, such as solving a specific type of problem or reacting to a fear-inducing stimulus.

10 : Explain the benefits and limitations of the case study. Why is the case study important in abnormal child psychology?

Correct Answer : Case studies yield narratives that are rich in detail and provide valuable insights into factors associated with a child’s disorder. Nevertheless, they also have drawbacks.

They are typically viewed as unscientific and flawed because they are characterized by uncontrolled methods and selective biases, by inherent difficulties associated with integrating diverse observations and drawing valid inferences among the variables of interest, and by generalizations from the particular child of interest to other children. Hence, case studies have been viewed primarily as rich sources of descriptive information that provide a basis for subsequent testing of hypotheses in research using larger samples and more controlled methods. They may also provide a source for developing and trying out new treatment methods.

Despite their unscientific nature, there are compelling reasons why systematically conducted case studies are likely to continue to play a useful role in research on childhood disorders. First, some childhood disorders, such as childhood-onset schizophrenia, are rare, making it difficult to generate large samples of children for research. Second, the analyses of individual cases may contribute to the understanding of many striking symptoms of childhood disorders that either occur infrequently or are hidden and therefore difficult to observe directly. Third, significant childhood disturbances such as post-traumatic stress disorder (see Chapter 12) often develop as the result of a natural disaster, severe trauma, or abuse. These extreme events and circumstances are not easily studied using controlled methods.

11 : Describe the limitations of longitudinal studies.

ScholarFriends.com

2 / 13

Correct Answer : Practical concerns include obtaining and maintaining research funding and resources over many years and the long wait for meaningful data. Design difficulties relate to aging effects and cohort effects. Aging effects are general changes that occur because as participants age there are increases in physical prowess, impulse control, or social opportunity.

Cohort effects are influences related to being a member of a specific cohort—a group of individuals who are followed during the same time and experience the same cultural or historical events.

12 : How can qualitative and quantitative research methods be used in complementary ways?

Correct Answer : Qualitative methods can be used to identify important dimensions and theories that can then be tested quantitatively. Alternatively, qualitative case studies may be used to illuminate the meaning of quantitatively derived findings (Guerra et al., 2011). In addition, if qualitative data have been reduced to numbers through word counts or frequency counts of themes, the data can be analyzed using quantitative methods.

13 : What are the primary differences between pseudoscience and science?

Correct Answer : The differences between scientific and pseudoscientific claims are not simply whether or not they are based on evidence (Finn, Bothe, & Bramlett, 2005). As we discuss later in this chapter, it is the quality of the evidence, how it was obtained, and how it is presented that are crucial in evaluating whether claims are scientifically believable. Scientists are certainly capable of making incorrect claims. What distinguishes them from pseudoscientists is that they play by the rules of science, are prepared to admit when they are wrong, and are open to change based on new evidence.

14 : Discuss how cultural differences can impact data collection and research outcomes for childhood disorders.

Correct Answer : The rate and expression of childhood symptoms and disorders often vary in relation to demographic and situational factors, such as socioeconomic status (SES) (e.g., the social, economic, and physical environment in which the child lives as reflected in measures such as family income, education, or occupation); parents’ marital status; and the child’s age, gender, and cultural background, to name but a few. Consequently, these variables must be assessed and controlled in most studies.

15 : Why is it important to use randomized controlled trials in research?

Correct Answer : By assigning participants to groups on the basis of the flip of a coin, numbers drawn from a hat, or a table of random numbers, the chance is increased that characteristics other than the independent variable will be equally distributed across treatment groups.

SHORT RESPONSE 1 : Distinguish between idiographic and nomothetic case formulations, and indicate when each of these formulations is useful.

Correct Answer : The focus of clinical assessment is to obtain a detailed understanding of the individual child or family as a unique entity (e.g., Felicia and her family), referred to as “idiographic case formulation.” This is in contrast to a nomothetic formulation, which emphasizes broad general inferences that apply to large groups of individuals (e.g., children with a depressive disorder).

2 : What is relational aggression? Are males or females more likely to exhibit this behavior?

Provide two examples of relational aggression.

Correct Answer : Studies into social aggression in girls have found that when angry, girls show aggression indirectly through verbal insults, gossip, ostracism, getting even, or third-party retaliation—referred to as “relational aggression.”

3 : What are cultural syndromes? Why are they important for clinicians to be aware of in relation to understanding symptoms in children? Provide one example of a cultural syndrome and the symptoms that the clinician may see exhibited by the child.

Correct Answer : Cultural syndromes refer to a pattern of co-occurring, relatively invariant symptoms associated with a particular cultural group, community, or context (APA, 2013). For example, mal de ojo or the “evil eye” is a concept that is widespread throughout Mediterranean cultures and Latino communities throughout the world. It is a malady to which children are especially vulnerable and believed to be caused by a hateful look or glance from a malicious person; the evil eye can cause fitful sleep, crying without apparent cause, diarrhea, vomiting, and fever in children. Cultural syndromes rarely fit neatly into one Western diagnostic category (Alarcón, 2009). In addition, although the cross-cultural validity of Western diagnostic criteria varies widely depending on the disorder, data regarding their validity across cultures for many childhood disorders are lacking (Canino & Alegria, 2008). Therefore, it is important that clinicians assess the extent to which a child’s cultural background and context affect the expression of both individual symptoms and clinical disorders.

4 : Describe three ways that a therapist can strive to provide culturally competent mental health services.

Correct Answer : Culturally competent children’s mental health services may be provided in a number of ways. For example, in therapy for Hispanic children and adolescents, cultural competence may be achieved by matching children and families with clinicians of the same ethnicity; by customizing the treatment to Hispanic cultural values, beliefs, and customs (e.g., familism, spiritualism, and respeto); or by incorporating ethnic and cultural narratives and roleplay into therapy.

5 : What considerations must be taken into account when making judgments about abnormality?

Correct Answer : Usually, the age inappropriateness, severity, and pattern of symptoms, rather than individual symptoms, define childhood disorders. Also, the extent to which symptoms result in impairment in the child’s functioning is a key consideration.

6 : Under what circumstances would a clinician choose to administer a semistructured versus an unstructured interview? What are the benefits and/or drawbacks of each?

Correct Answer : Most interviews with children and parents are unstructured. Clinicians use their preferred interview style and format, as well as their knowledge of the disorder, to pursue various questions in an informal and flexible manner. Unstructured clinical interviews provide a rich source of clinical hypotheses. However, their lack of standardization may result in low reliability and selective or biased gathering of information. To address this problem, clinicians sometimes use semistructured interviews that include specific questions designed to elicit information in a relatively consistent manner regardless of who is conducting the interview. The format of the interview usually ensures that the most important aspects of a particular disorder are covered. An appealing feature of semistructured interviews, especially for older children and youths, is that they can be administered by computer, something many children find entertaining and often less threatening at first than a face-to-face interview. The semistructured format also permits the clinician to follow up on issues of importance that may emerge during the interview.

For younger children, a semistructured interactive interview using hand puppets may provide useful information about the child’s emotional, behavioral, and peer problems (Ringoot et al., 2013). The consistency and coverage of semistructured interviews may be offset by a loss of spontaneity between the child and the clinician, especially if the interview is conducted too rigidly.

7 : What are some of the areas that are typically covered by developmental and family history questionnaire/interview?

Correct Answer : The child’s birth and related events, such as pregnancy and birth complications or the mother’s use of drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes during pregnancy. The child’s developmental milestones, such as age at which walking, use of language, bladder and bowel control, and self-help skills started. The child’s medical history, including injuries, accidents, operations, illnesses, and prescribed medications. Family characteristics and family history, including the age, occupation, cultural background, and marital status of family members and the medical, educational, and mental health history of parents and siblings. The child’s interpersonal skills, including relations with adults and other children, and play and social activities. The child’s educational history, including schools attended, academic performance, attitudes toward school, relations with teachers and peers, and special services. The adolescent’s work history and relationships, including relationships with others of the same sex and the opposite sex. A description of the presenting problem, including a detailed description of the problem and surrounding events, and how parents have attempted to deal with the problem in the past. The parents’ expectations for assessment and treatment of their child and themselves 8 : Explain the ABCs of assessment and give examples of each.

9 : What steps have researchers taken to ensure that psychological tests are free from bias?

Correct Answer : For example, test developers now select normative groups that are representative of the population, and test items that are as free of cultural bias as possible. In addition, several professional organizations have joined together to develop a Code of Fair Testing Practices.

10 : Identify and provide examples of neurodevelopmental disorders.

ScholarFriends.com

2 / 13

Correct Answer : Neurodevelopmental disorders include intellectual disabilities (examples are intellectual development disorder and global developmental delay); Autism Spectrum Disorder; Communication Disorders (language disorder, speech sound disorder, childhood-onset fluency disorder, social communication disorder); Specific Learning Disorder (with impairment in reading, written expression, or math); ADHD (predominantly hyperactive/impulsive, predominantly inattentive, or predominantly combined); and Motor Disorders (Developmental Coordination Disorder, Stereotypic Movement Disorder, Tourette’s Disorder, Persistent Motor, or Vocal Tic Disorder).

11 : Name and describe four psychological tests commonly used when assessing children.

Correct Answer : Developmental tests are used to assess infants and young children, and are generally carried out for the purposes of screening, diagnosis, and evaluation of early development. Evaluating a child’s intellectual and educational functioning is a key ingredient in clinical assessments for a wide range of childhood disorders. Projective tests present the child with ambiguous stimuli such as inkblots or pictures of people, and the child is asked to describe what she or he sees. Personality is usually considered an enduring trait or pattern of traits that characterize the individual and determine how he or she interacts with the environment (Roberts & DelVecchio, 2000). In the clinical context, neuropsychological assessment attempts to link brain functioning with objective measures of behavior known to depend on an intact central nervous system.

12 : Distinguish between categorical and dimensional classification approaches.

Correct Answer : Categorical classification systems such as DSM-5 are based primarily on informed professional consensus, an approach that has dominated and continues to dominate the field of child (and adult) psychopathology. Dimensional classification approaches assume that many independent dimensions or traits of behavior exist and that all children possess them to varying degrees.

13 : What conclusions have been made regarding the effectiveness of treatments with children?

Correct Answer : First, although research generally shows that most treatments are effective in reducing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and oppositional behavior, fewer than 20% of treatments demonstrate evidence that they reduce impairment in life functioning.

14 : What are some criticisms of the DSM-5?

Correct Answer : The DSM-5 has been criticized for failing to capture the complexity of child psychopathology, for giving less attention to disorders of infancy and childhood than to those of adulthood, for its relative lack of emphasis on situational and contextual factors, and for its emphasis on symptoms rather than on underlying etiology.

15 : Compare and contrast the cultural values, parenting practices, and beliefs among African Americans, Latino Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, and European Americans.

Correct Answer : African American families value independence, individualism, kinship relations, unity, creativity, cooperation, authenticity, and racial identity. Latino American families value family loyalty, interpersonal connectedness, mutual respect, and self-respect. Asian American families value self-control, social courtesy, emotional maturity, and respect for elders. Native American families value the centrality of family, sharing, harmony, and humility. European American families value autonomy, individualism, initiative, acquisition of skills, selfScholarFriends.com

development, and standing up for one’s own rights. Regarding parenting practices and beliefs, African Americans value authoritarian parenting, obedience, unilateral parental decision making, an egalitarian family structure, strict discipline, and communal parenting. Latino Americans value permissive parenting, a patriarchal family structure, high expression of parental warmth, communal parenting, and freedom. Asian Americans value authoritarian parenting, structural and managerial parental involvement, a patriarchal family structure, strict discipline, parental control, negotiation of conflict, and the parent as teacher. Native Americans value permissive, lax parenting, shame as discipline, both patriarchal and matriarchal family structures, and communal parenting. European Americans value authoritative parenting, egalitarian family structures, and parent as manager, and can be demanding.

SHORT RESPONSE 1 : Provide examples of adaptive behaviors as outlined in the text.

Correct Answer : Personal activities of daily living such as eating, dressing, mobility, and toileting. Instrumental activities of daily living such as preparing meals, taking medication, using the telephone, managing money, using transportation, and doing housekeeping activities.

2 : Discuss three reasons why IQ scores have been rising.

Correct Answer : In attempting to explain the Flynn effect, scientists have considered the rising standards of living, better schooling, better nutrition, medical advances, more stimulating environments, and even the influence of computer games and complex toys. Additionally, relatively permissive and child-focused parenting style has emerged during recent decades, which may have given children greater facility with language and stronger overall cognitive capacity. Moreover, there are unprecedented cultural differences between successive generations—daily life and occupational experiences are far more complex today than in the past.

3 : Trace the origins and development of the Eugenics movement in the nineteenth century, including causes of popularity of the movement as well as emphasis on labels such as imbecile and moron.

Correct Answer : Evolutionary degeneracy theory attributed the intellectual and social problems of children with intellectual disability to regression to an earlier period in human evolution.

Researchers such as Down believed that persons with intellectual disability were an evolutionary throwback to the Mongol race, and that such individuals represented a “retrogression” to another group. Evolutionary degeneracy theory served as an explanation for insanity, mental deficiency, and social deviance in the late nineteenth century. By 1910, eugenics gained popularity as the needs of individuals with intellectual disabilities became less important than the perceived needs of society; that is, to protect others from the harm done by such individuals. Thus, people with intellectual disabilities were blamed for the social ills of their time and given such labels as moral imbecile or moron to describe and explain these differences. Morons were considered a threat to society because they could easily pass for “normal,” unlike others deemed to be insane.

4 : Discuss the different reasons why more males than females are diagnosed with intellectual disability.

Correct Answer : Similar to racial differences in the diagnosis of intellectual disability, gender differences in ID may be an artifact of identification and referral patterns rather than true differences in prevalence (Einfeld et al., 2010). If a true male excess of intellectual disability does exist, researchers suspect this may be due to the occurrence of X-linked genetic disorders such as fragile-X syndrome, which affect males more often than females (Handen, 2007).

5 : Discuss the connection between SES and intellectual disability.

Correct Answer : This link is found primarily among children in the mild intellectual disability range; children with more severe levels are identified almost equally in different racial and economic groups. Whether or not signs of organic etiology are present, diagnoses of mild intellectual disability increase sharply from near zero among children from higher SES categories to about 2.5% in the lowest SES category (APA, 2000). These figures indicate that ScholarFriends.com

1 / 13

SES factors play a suspected role both in the cause of intellectual disability and in the identification and labeling of persons with intellectual disability.

6 : Discuss the developmental-versus-difference controversy regarding the development of children with intellectual disability.

Correct Answer : Simply stated, the developmental-versus-difference controversy is this: Do all children—regardless of intellectual impairments—progress through the same developmental milestones in a similar sequence, but at different rates? Or do children with intellectual disability develop in a different, less sequential, and less organized fashion?

7 : Explain how learned helplessness may arise in a child with intellectual disability.

Correct Answer : This learned helplessness may be unwittingly condoned by adults. When they are told a child is “retarded,” adults are less likely to urge that child to persist after failure than they are to urge a normal child at the same level of cognitive development.

8 : Discuss why some children with Down syndrome have problems developing secure attachments.

Correct Answer : A significant number of these children may have problems in developing a secure attachment because they express less emotion than other children.

9 : What considerations would you have to take into account when diagnosing ADHD in a child with intellectual disability?

Correct Answer : The diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) requires the presence of behavioral disturbance that is inappropriate for an individual’s developmental level.

Attention spans, distractibility, and on-task behaviors vary considerably among individuals with profound intellectual disability. An individual with profound intellectual disability must be compared with other children with profound intellectual disability for the purpose of diagnosing any other psychiatric disturbance.

10 : Describe common emotional and behavioral problems for individuals with intellectual disabilities Correct Answer : Typical problems experienced include internalizing problems such as a decline in sociability, increased depression, and social withdrawal. Additionally, ADHD-related symptoms are common, as well as Pica and other self-injurious behaviors.

11 : Discuss two conditions that can arise from chromosomal abnormalities.

Correct Answer : The most common disorder that results from a chromosome abnormality is Down syndrome. These abnormalities also can occur in the number of sex chromosomes, resulting in intellectual disability syndromes such as Klinefelter’s (XXY, a disorder in which males have an extra X chromosome) and Turner’s (XO, a disorder in which women are missing a second X chromosome).

12 : Explain how intellectual disability may result from PKU. Correct Answer : One of the best understood examples of a single gene condition is phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare disorder occurring in approximately 1 in 15,000 individuals (Waisbren, 2011). Unlike chromosomal abnormalities that cause Down syndrome, the cause of ScholarFriends.com

PKU is a recessive gene transmitted by typical Mendelian mechanisms.

13 : Describe how you would use shaping to teach a nonverbal child to say hungry.

Correct Answer : Shaping is a procedure that begins by forming a list of responses (such as “he,” “ha,” “hu”) that were progressively more similar to the target response (in this case, the word hungry). After an individual mastered the first sound, she would be reinforced only for attempts at the next sound on the list, and so on, until the desired sound or word was gradually shaped.

14 : What are practical recommendations for enhancing childrens lives through early intervention, according to Ramsey and Ramsey (1992)?

Correct Answer : Recommendations include: encouragement of exploration; mentoring in basic skills; celebration of developmental advances; guided rehearsal and extension of new skills; protection from harmful displays of disapproval, teasing, or punishment; and a rich and responsive language environment.

15 : Describe self-instructional training used with children with intellectual disability.

Correct Answer : Self-instructional training is most beneficial for children who have developed some language proficiency but still have difficulty understanding and following directions. Selfinstructional training teaches children to use verbal cues, initially taught by the therapist or teacher, to process information, to keep themselves on task.

SHORT RESPONSE 1 : What does it mean to say that ASD is a spectrum disorder?

Correct Answer : ASD is defined as a spectrum disorder because its symptoms, abilities, and characteristics are expressed in many different combinations and in any degree of severity (Lai et al., 2013a). Thus, ASD is not an “all or nothing” phenomenon.

2 : What are the core features of ASD? Correct Answer : The core features of ASD are represented by two symptom domains: (1) social communication and social interaction and (2) restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities.

3 : Describe the features that commonly characterize the speech of children with ASD who have developed some useful language.

Correct Answer : Although almost all children with ASD show delays in their language development, it is their lack of spontaneity and their use of qualitatively unusual forms of communication that is most striking (Chiang & Carter, 2008). The rhythm and intonation of their speech is often unusual (Peppe et al., 2007), but most noticeable is their lack of social chatter—their failure to use language for social communication.

4 : Discuss the theory of mind hypothesis of ASD. What findings provide support for this hypothesis?

Correct Answer : By age 4, most children can comprehend what others might know, think, and believe; this is something that even older individuals with ASD have great difficulty doing. The theory of mind (ToM) hypothesis of ASD begins with the premise that the ability to read the intentions, beliefs, feelings, and desires of others from their external behavior has adaptive significance in human evolution. ToM proposes that all humans are, by nature, mind readers.

5 : In what ways are children with intellectual disability distinguishable from children with intellectual disability in addition to ASD? Correct Answer : Most children with intellectual disability (ID) without ASD show a general delay across all areas of intellectual functioning on the WISC test. In contrast, the performance of children with ASD tends to be uneven across different WISC subtests.

6 : In what ways are children with ASD distinguishable from children with language delays?

Correct Answer : Features of atypical development, that are very similar to those found in ASD but are less severe, have recently been detected in infant siblings of children with ASD by the infants’ first birthday (Ozonoff et al., 2014). Possible early indicators of ASD may include: “uses few gestures to express social interest,” “doesn’t respond when name is called,” “rarely makes eye contact when interacting,” “limited babbling, particularly in a social context,” and “displays odd or repetitive ways of moving hands and/or fingers” (Zwaigenbaum et al., 2009).

Children with ASD have been found to differ from typically developing children on most of these indicators between the ages of 12 and 24 months. However, in one study, only early communicative gestures were found to distinguish children with ASD from those with developmental delay or language impairment.

7 : Explain the controversial extreme male brain theory of ASD. Correct Answer : Those with ASD are presumed to fall at the extreme high end of a continuum of cognitive abilities associated with systemizing (understanding the inanimate world) and at the extreme low end of abilities associated with empathizing (understanding our social world). Both abilities are present in all males and females, but males are presumed to show more systemizing and females more empathizing.

8 : Discuss the evidence for genetic factors in the etiology of ASD. Correct Answer : The discovery of the fragile-X anomaly (see Chapter 5) in about 2% to 3% of children with ASD led to increased attention to this and other chromosomal defects that might be related to ASD. Some studies have found that as many as 15% to 20% of siblings of individuals with ASD also have the disorder, a number nearly twice that seen in earlier reports.

New research using molecular genetics has pointed to particular areas on many different chromosomes as possible locations for susceptibility genes for ASD (Klinger et al., 2014).

Susceptibility genes are causally implicated in the susceptibility to ASD but do not cause it directly on their own.

9 : Describe and identify the most common disorders and symptoms present in individuals with ASD. Correct Answer : The disorders most commonly associated with ASD are ID and epilepsy, anxiety disorders, ADHD, learning disabilities, oppositional and conduct problems, and mood disturbances. Some children with ASD also engage in self-injurious behavior, including head banging, hand or arm biting, and excessive scratching and rubbing.

10 : What are the goals of treatment for children with ASD? Correct Answer : The goals for most treatments are to minimize the core problems of ASD, maximize the child’s independence and quality of life, and help the child and family cope more effectively with the disorder.

11 : How are disruptive behaviors in early treatment of children with ASD addressed?

Correct Answer : Many procedures are effective in eliminating disruptive behavior, including rewarding competing behaviors, ignoring the behavior, and mild forms of punishment.

12 : What are some symptoms of initial stages of childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS)?

Correct Answer : In the initial stages of COS, the afflicted youngster may have difficulty concentrating, sleeping, or doing schoolwork, and may start to avoid friends. As the illness progresses, she or he may begin to speak incoherently and see or hear things that no one else does. Periods of improvement may be followed by terrifying relapses that are characterized by disordered thinking in which the youngster leaps illogically from one idea to another. The youngster may experience hallucinations, paranoia, and delusions. During their psychotic phases, youngsters with schizophrenia may be convinced that they have godlike powers or that people are spying on them. When in the grip of a psychosis, they may behave unpredictably and may become violent and suicidal.

13 : Why might it be difficult to identify schizophrenia in young children?

Correct Answer : Schizophrenia may be expressed differently at different ages. For example, ScholarFriends.com

2 / 13

hallucinations, delusions, and formal thought disturbances are extremely rare and difficult to diagnose before the age of 7; when they do occur, they may be less complex and reflect childhood themes (Caplan, 1994). A failure to adjust diagnostic criteria for developmental changes, such as social withdrawal or peer problems, may overlook children who show early signs of schizophrenia but may not develop the full-blown adult type until a later age.

14 : Identify and describe initial symptoms that youngsters with COS may experience.

Correct Answer : In the initial stages of COS, afflicted youth may have difficulty concentrating, sleeping, or doing schoolwork, and may start to avoid friends. As the illness progresses, the child may begin to speak incoherently as well as beginning to see or hear things that no one else can see or hear. Periods of improvement can occur simultaneously with relapses characterized by disordered thinking, hallucinations, paranoia, and delusions.

15 : Discuss the connection between vulnerability and stress in the cause of COS. Correct Answer : Current views regarding the causes of COS are based on a neurodevelopmental model in which a genetic vulnerability and early neurodevelopmental insults result in impaired connections between many brain regions. This impaired neural circuitry may increase the child’s vulnerability to stress.

SHORT RESPONSE 1 : Differentiate between the terms learning disabilities, communication disorders, and specific learning disorder.

Correct Answer : Learning disability is a lay term (not a diagnostic term) that refers to significant problems in mastering one or more of the following skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing, reasoning, and mathematics. Communication disorder is a diagnostic term that refers to deficits in language, speech, and communication. Specific learning disorder is a diagnostic term that refers to specific problems in learning and using academic skills. The DSM-5 integrates the frequently co-occurring problems in reading, mathematics, and written expression into this one category, and uses specifiers to designate impairments in one or more of these areas.

2 : Strauss and Werner (1943) pointed out that children learn in their own individual ways. List the three important concepts developed from their idea that continues to influence the field to this day.

Correct Answer : (1) Children approach learning in different ways, so each child’s individual learning style and uniqueness should be recognized and used to full advantage. (2) Educational methods should be tailored to an individual child’s pattern of strengths and weaknesses; one method should not be imposed on everyone. (3) Children with learning problems might be helped by teaching methods that strengthen existing abilities rather than emphasize weak areas.

3 : What is meant by a perceptual map for language and how does it develop?

Correct Answer : A perceptual map forms that represents similarities among sounds and helps the infant learn to discriminate among different phonemes. These maps form quickly; 6-monthold children of English-speaking parents already have auditory maps different from infants in non-English-speaking homes, as measured by neuron activity in response to different sounds (Kuhl et al., 2006). By their first birthday, the maps are complete, and infants are less able to discriminate sounds that are not important in their own language.

4 : Outline and describe the diagnostic criteria for a language disorder.

Correct Answer : Criteria include: (1) persistent difficulties in the acquisition and use of language across modalities due to deficits in comprehension or production that include reduced vocabulary knowledge and use, limited sentence structure, and impairments in discourse; (2) language abilities that are substantially and quantifiably below those expected for age, resulting in functional limitations in effective communication, social participation, academic achievement, or occupational performance; (3) onset of symptoms occurring in the early developmental period; and (4) difficulties that are not attributable to hearing or other sensory impairment, motor dysfunction, or another medical or neurological condition or better explained by an intellectual disability.

5 : What particular difficulties and errors might suggest that a child has a reading disorder?

Correct Answer : A child with an SLD with impairment in reading lacks the critical language skills required for basic reading: word reading accuracy, reading comprehension, and reading rate or fluency. Dyslexia is an alternative term sometimes used to describe this pattern of reading difficulties. These core deficits stem from problems in decoding—breaking a word into parts rapidly enough to read the whole word—coupled with difficulty reading single small words (Cho ScholarFriends.com

1 / 14

et al., 2017). When a child cannot detect the phonological structure of language and automatically recognize simple words, reading development will very likely be impaired (Peterson & Pennington, 2010). The slow and labored decoding of single words requires substantial effort and detracts from the child’s ability to retain the meaning of a sentence, much less a paragraph or page.

6 : What kind of deficits might a parent or teacher notice in a child who has a writing disorder?

Correct Answer : Children with impairment in written expression often have problems with tasks that require eye–hand coordination, despite their normal gross motor development. Teachers notice that, as compared with children who have normal writing skills, children with impairments in writing produce shorter, less interesting, and poorly organized essays and are less likely to review spelling, punctuation, and grammar to increase clarity (Hooper et al., 2011, 2013).

However, spelling errors or poor handwriting that do not significantly interfere with daily activities or academic pursuits do not qualify a child for this diagnosis. In addition, problems in written expression signal the possibility of other learning problems because of shared metacognitive processes: planning, self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and self-modification (Lewandowski & Lovett, 2014).

7 : What particular difficulties, errors, and/or deficits suggest a child has an impairment in mathematics?

Correct Answer : For some children, impairment in mathematics is displayed by an inability to grasp the abstract concepts inherent in many forms of numerical and cognitive problem solving.

Criteria for SLD with impairment in mathematics include difficulties in number sense, memorization of arithmetic facts, accurate or fluent calculation, and/or accurate math reasoning.

Other manifestations include recognizing numbers and symbols, aligning numbers, and understanding concepts such as place value and fractions.

8 : It has been suggested that language-based learning disorders are related to neurological deficits in sensitivity. What is the nature of this argument?

Correct Answer : A specific defect in the perception of visual motion may interfere with many different brain functions, and it has been noted among children with autism as well as those with learning disorders (Benassi et al., 2010; Skottun, 2015). To detect differences between consonant sounds—such as b and t—we must be able to distinguish between very rapid changes in sound frequency. A subtle neurological deficit in sensitivity could prohibit this distinction, which would then show up clinically as problems in reading and phonological processing (Raschle et al., 2011).

9 : How do the biological causes of language-based learning disabilities and nonverbal learning disabilities differ?

Correct Answer : SLD with impairment in mathematics, and perhaps SLD with impairment in written expression as well, are associated with brain deficits that differ from those described for language-based learning disorders. These deficits are largely found in areas not related to verbal ability, which has led to the term nonverbal learning disability. Nonverbal learning disability (NLD) is associated with deficits related to right-hemisphere brain functioning, which are characteristic of children who perform considerably worse at math than reading. These deficits involve social/emotional skills, spatial orientation, problem solving, and the recognition of nonverbal cues such as body language. In addition to math deficiencies, NLD may be accompanied by neuropsychological problems such as poor coordination, poor judgment, and difficulties adapting to novel and complex situations.

10 : Discuss the two major findings that implicate specific biological underpinnings of reading disorders.

Correct Answer : (1) Language difficulties for people with reading disorders are specifically associated with the neurological processing of phonology and storage of such information into memory; and (2) behavioral and physiological abnormalities are found in the processing of visual information. It is not surprising, therefore, that phonological and visual processing problems often coexist among people with reading disorders (Skottun, 2015).

11 : Summarize the use of computer-assisted learning for specific learning disorders.

Correct Answer : Computers have been used as simple instructional tools to deliver questions and answers since the 1970s. Since discovering phonological awareness and timing problems in the brain, researchers are now testing whether computers can remedy some basic auditory problems. Some children with communication and learning disorders are unable to process information that flashes by too quickly, such as the consonant sounds ba and da, and this deficit interferes with vital speech processes. Computer programs are able to slow down these grammatical sounds, allowing young children to process them more slowly and carefully.

12 : Eight-year-old Jessica has a mathematics disorder. You have been asked to make recommendations to Jessicas parents and teacher as to how they might help Jessica. From a behavioral and cognitivebehavioral standpoint, what specific recommendations would you make?

Correct Answer : Behavioral methods often are used in conjunction with a complete program of direct instruction, which typically proceeds in a cumulative, highly structured manner (Wright & Jacobs, 2003), as shown in A Closer Look 7.2. Because this method places a strong emphasis on the behavior of the teacher in terms of explicit correction, reinforcement, and practice opportunities, it is sometimes referred to as “faultless instruction”: Each concept should be so clearly presented that only one interpretation is possible. Each lesson is structured according to field-tested scripts. Teachers work with one small group of students at a time, and shoot questions at them at a rate as high as 10 to 12 per minute. This highly structured, repetitive method is clearly effective. Like behavioral methods, these procedures actively involve students in learning, particularly in monitoring their own thought processes. Considerable emphasis is placed on self-control by using strategies such as self-monitoring, self-assessment, selfrecording, self-management of reinforcement, and so on (Cuillo et al., 2016; Cobb et al., 2009).

Essentially, children are taught to ask themselves several questions as they progress, to make themselves more aware of the material.

13 : List the steps involved in direct behavioral instruction.

Correct Answer : 1. Review the child’s existing abilities.2. Develop a short statement of goals at the beginning of each lesson.3. Present new concepts and material in small steps, each followed by student practice.4. Provide clear and detailed instructions and explanations.5.

Provide considerable practice for all students.6. Check student understanding of concepts continually, in response to teacher questions.7. Provide explicit guidance for each student during initial practice.8. Provide systematic feedback and corrections.9. Provide explicit instruction and practice for exercises completed by students at their desks.

14 : Compare and contrast behavioral strategies for addressing SLD with cognitivebehavioral interventions.

ScholarFriends.com

3 / 14

Correct Answer : Behavioral strategies include providing children with a set of verbal rules that can be written out and reapplied. In addition to academic concepts, some of the associated problems with peers can be addressed in this same way. Behavioral methods often are used in conjunction with a program of direct instruction, and should be highly structured and repetitive.

Cognitive–behavioral interventions also actively involve students in learning and monitoring their own thought processes. Emphasis is placed on self-control by using strategies such as selfmonitoring, self-assessment, self-recording, and self-management.

15 : Discuss why children with learning disorders might display more acting out behaviors at school and the behavioral strategies used.

Correct Answer : Many problems that children with communication and learning disorders have stem from the fact that the material is simply presented too fast for them (Tallal & Benasich, 2002). Thus, a strategy to provide children with a set of verbal rules that can be written out and reapplied may be more beneficial than one that relies on memory or on grasping the concept all at once. Tried-and-true behavioral principles of learning are well suited to this task of teaching systematically. Behavioral methods often are used in conjunction with a complete program of direct instruction, which typically proceeds in a cumulative, highly structured manner (Wright & Jacobs, 2003), as shown in A Closer Look 7.2. Because this method places a strong emphasis on the behavior of the teacher in terms of explicit correction, reinforcement, and practice opportunities, it is sometimes referred to as “faultless instruction”: Each concept should be so clearly presented that only one interpretation is possible. Each lesson is structured according to field-tested scripts. Teachers work with one small group of students at a time, and shoot questions at them at a rate as high as 10 to 12 per minute.

SHORT RESPONSE 1 : Describe three types of attention deficits seen in children with ADHD, and provide an example of each.

Correct Answer : Inattention refers to an inability to sustain attention or stick to tasks or play activities, to and follow through on instructions or rules, and to resist distractions. It also involves difficulties in planning and organization and in timeliness and problems in staying alert. With hyperactivity, recordings of body movements indicate that even when they sleep, children with ADHD display more motor activity than other children (Teicher et al., 1996). However, the largest differences are found in situations requiring the child to inhibit motor activity—to slow down or sit still in response to the structured task demands of the classroom. Children who are impulsive seem unable to bridle their immediate reactions or think before they act. They may take apart an expensive clock with little thought about how to put it back together. It’s very hard for them to stop an ongoing behavior or to regulate their behavior in accordance with the demands of the situation or the wishes of others.

2 : What are some of the limitations of the DSM-5 as a means of diagnosing ADHD? What changes have been suggested to address these limitations?

Correct Answer : Although DSM states that clinical judgment may be used to assess whether symptoms are “inconsistent with developmental level,” it applies the same symptoms to individuals of all ages, even though some symptoms, particularly for hyperactive–impulsive behaviors (running and climbing), apply more to young children. According to DSM, ADHD is a disorder that a child either has or doesn’t have. However, because the number and severity of symptoms are also calculated on a scale, children who fall just below the cutoff for ADHD are not necessarily different from children just above the cutoff. These limitations highlight the fact that DSM criteria are designed to classify and diagnose. They help shape our understanding of ADHD but are also shaped by—and in some instances lag behind—new research findings.

3 : Executive functions include cognitive, language, motor, and emotional processes. Give an example of each, and explain how executive functions relate to ADHD. Correct Answer : Executive functions (EFs) are cognitive processes in the brain that activate, integrate, and manage other brain functions. Cognitive processes, such as working memory (holding facts in mind while manipulating information), mental computation, planning and anticipation, flexibility of thinking, and the use of organizational strategies. Language processes, such as verbal fluency and the use of self-directed speech. Motor processes, such as allocation of effort, following prohibitive instructions, response inhibition, and motor coordination and sequencing. Emotional processes, such as self-regulation of arousal level and tolerating frustration.

4 : Identify and describe symptoms of ADHD related to accident-proneness and risk taking.

Correct Answer : Children with ADHD are significantly more likely to experience serious accidental injuries. They are at higher risk for traffic accidents and deviant peer associations that could also encourage risky behaviors, especially among adolescents. One study of boys with ADHD found that they had more risky driving behaviors, STDs, head injuries, and ER admissions, compared to a control group. A Danish study found that ADHD associated with excess mortality, notably driven by deaths from unnatural causes. Finally, ADHD prevalence is negatively associated with health-promoting behaviors, such as exercise, proper diet, safe sex, and avoidance of tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine use.

5 : The co-occurrence of ADHD and conduct disorder has led some researchers to suggest a subgroup of children with ADHD at increased risk for conduct problems. What support is there for such a subtype?

Correct Answer : Longitudinal studies have found that ADHD leads to ODD and CD rather than vice versa (Thapar et al., 2006). Interestingly, persistent and severe ODD and CD outcomes among children with ADHD are related to variations in a specific gene (COMT) known to be associated with the regulation of neurotransmitters in the areas of the brain implicated in ADHD. These findings suggest the existence of a subgroup of children with ADHD who are at biological risk for later developing conduct problems (Caspi et al., 2008). Finally, ADHD is also a risk factor for the later development of antisocial personality disorder (APD) (Storebø & Simonsen, 2013), a pervasive pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of others, as well as involvement in multiple illegal behaviors.

6 : How do the symptoms of inattention and hyperactivityimpulsivity change over the lifespan?

Correct Answer : Symptoms of inattention become especially evident when the child starts school. Classroom demands for sustained attention and goal-directed persistence are formidable challenges for these children (Kofler, Rapport, & Alderson, 2008). Not surprisingly, this is when children are usually identified as having ADHD and referred for special assistance.

Symptoms of inattention continue through grade school, resulting in low academic productivity, distractibility, poor organization, trouble meeting deadlines, and an inability to follow through on social promises or commitments to peers. The hyperactive–impulsive behaviors that were present in preschool continue, with some decline, from 6 to 12 years of age (Barkley, 2006a).

Although hyperactive–impulsive behaviors decline significantly by adolescence, they still occur at a higher level than in 95% of same-age peers who do not have ADHD. The disorder continues into adolescence for at least 50% or more of clinic-referred elementary school children. Childhood symptoms of hyperactivity–impulsivity (more so than symptoms of inattention) are generally related to poor adolescent outcomes (Barkley, 2006b). Unfortunately, most children with ADHD will continue to experience problems, leading to a lifelong pattern of suffering and disappointment (Barkley, 2014a, b). Once thought of primarily as a disorder of childhood, ADHD is now well established as an adult disorder. Adults with ADHD are restless, easily bored, and constantly seeking novelty and excitement; they may experience work difficulties, impaired social relations, and suffer from depression, low self-concept, substance abuse, and personality disorder 7 : Distinguish between the different subtypes of ADHD. Correct Answer : Predominantly inattentive presentation (ADHD-PI) describes children who meet symptom criteria for inattention but not hyperactivity–impulsivity. Predominantly hyperactive–impulsive presentation (ADHD-HI) describes children who meet symptom criteria for hyperactivity-impulsivity but not inattention. Combined presentation (ADHD-C) describes children who meet symptom criteria for both inattention and hyperactivity–impulsivity.

8 : List and describe impaired executive functions in ADHD as well as resulting impairments.

Correct Answer : Six impaired executive functions in individuals with ADHD have been identified. Along with their resulting impairments, they are as follows: (1) Organize, prioritize, and activate: trouble getting started; difficulty organizing work; misunderstanding directions; (2) Focus, shift, and sustain attention: lose focus when trying to listen; forget what has been read and need to reread; easily distracted; (3) Regulate alertness, effort, and processing speed: excessive daytime drowsiness; difficulty completing a task on time; slow processing speed; (4) ScholarFriends.com

Manage frustration and modulate emotion: very easily irritated; feelings hurt easily; overly sensitive to criticism; (5) Working memory and accessing recall: forget to do a planned task; difficulty following sequential directions; quickly lose thoughts that were put on hold; (6) Monitor and regulate action: find it hard to sit still or be quiet; rush things or slapdash; often interrupt, blurt things out.

9 : Describe the difficulties children experience that have co-occurring ADHD and anxiety.

Correct Answer : These children worry about being separated from their parents, trying something new, taking tests, making social contacts, or visiting the doctor. They may feel tense or uneasy and constantly seek reassurance that they are safe and protected. Because these anxieties are unrealistic, more frequent, and more intense than normal, they have a negative impact on the child’s thinking and behavior.

10 : Describe the influence that dietary factors, notably sugar consumption, contribute to hyperactivity.

Correct Answer : Despite popular perception, multiple studies have conclusively shown that sugar is not a cause of hyperactivity. Popular perception, contrary to these findings, are longstanding and have been scientifically verified as related to the power of suggestion in studies showing parents’ reactions and behavior with regard to perceived sugar consumption. This relates to ADHD because what parents believe about the causes of their children’s ADHD can affect their views of their children, how they treat them, as well as treatment options pursued.

11 : Discuss the behavioral differences in boys and girls with ADHD that have been found in clinical samples.

Correct Answer : In the past, girls with ADHD were a highly understudied group (Hinshaw & Blachman, 2005). Although girls with ADHD tend to display inattentive/ disorganized symptoms, some research shows more similarity between girls and boys with ADHD than was previously thought to exist. Some studies have found that among clinic-referred school-age children with ADHD, boys and girls are quite similar with respect to their expression and severity of symptoms, brain abnormalities, deficits in response inhibition and executive functions, level of impairment, family correlates, response to and young adulthood, including anxiety; depression; romantic relationship difficulties; conflict with mothers; significant peer rejection and conduct problems; large deficits in academic achievement; continuing deficits in attention, executive functions, and language; impaired decision making; and high rates of service utilization (Babinski et al., 2010; Biederman et al., 2010; Mick et al., 2011; Miller et al., 2013; Owens et al., 2014).

12 : Discuss the nature of relationships in adolescence.

Correct Answer : Despite their many social problems with peers, some adolescents with ADHD may meet their social needs by maintaining one or two positive close friendships (Glass, Flory, & Hankin, 2012). The social premise for such relationships may differ from those of other teens, possibly with a mutual focus on “having fun” rather than on seeking emotional support. Positive friendships may buffer the negative outcomes of peer rejection commonly seen in children with ADHD. 13 : What is the role of the family in etiology and development of ADHD symptoms?

Correct Answer : Family influences may lead to ADHD symptoms or to a greater severity of symptoms. In some cases, ADHD symptoms may be the result of interfering and insensitive ScholarFriends.com

3 / 14

early caregiving practices (Carlson, Jacobvitz, & Sroufe, 1995), especially in children with a specific genetic risk for ADHD (Martel et al., 2011). Thus, parenting practices may interact with the child’s genetic makeup to moderate risk for ADHD. In addition, for children at risk for ADHD, family conflict may raise the severity of their hyperactive–impulsive symptoms to a clinical level. Family problems may result from interacting with a child who is impulsive and difficult to manage (Mash & Johnston, 1990). The clearest support for this child-to-parent direction of effect comes from double-blind placebo-controlled drug studies in which children with ADHD who received stimulant medications showed a decrease in their symptoms. Family conflict is likely related to the presence, persistence, or later emergence of associated oppositional and conduct disorder symptoms. In children with an inherited biological risk for ADHD, family conflict may heighten the emergence of early ODD and later comorbid ADHD and CD (Beauchaine et al., 2010). For example, children with ADHD report observing more interparental conflict than do children without ADHD, which may worsen ADHD and related ODD and CD symptoms in those who have a genotype that makes them particularly vulnerable to the effects of the emotional stress and self-blame associated with interparental conflict.

14 : Discuss the relationship between ADHD and race and ethnicity. What racial/ethnic groups are teachers most and least likely to rate as ADHD. Correct Answer : Research on the relationships among ADHD, race, and ethnicity has been inconsistent, and it remains unclear whether current tools for assessing ADHD adequately capture the expression of ADHD in minority groups. By kindergarten entry, children in the United States who are black are 70% less likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than otherwise similar white children—even though they are equally likely to display ADHD-related behaviors in the classroom (Morgan et al., 2014). However, for older children, teacher-rated ADHD and observed rates of ADHD behavior are higher for black than for white children, which are not explained by rater bias or SES (Miller, Nigg, & Miller, 2009). Slightly lower rates of ADHD have been reported for Hispanic, Asian, American Indian, and Pacific Islander children (Cuffe, Moore, & McKeown, 2005). Knowledge about ADHD and access to treatment seem to be greater among Caucasian, non-Hispanic, and more highly educated families (McLeod et al., 2007; Miller et al., 2009).However, some research suggests that when families from different ethnic groups do receive treatment, they do not differ in the benefits derived (Jones et al., 2010).

15 : Discuss the factors that can influence more positive outcomes for children with ADHD. Correct Answer : Some children with ADHD either outgrow their disorder or learn to cope with it, particularly those with mild ADHD and without conduct or oppositional problems. Better outcomes are more likely for children whose symptoms are less severe and who receive good care, supervision, and support from their parents and teachers and who have access to economic and community resources, including educational, health, and mental health services (Kessler et al., 2005).

SHORT RESPONSE 1 : Define conduct problems from the legal, psychological, psychiatric, and public health perspectives.

Correct Answer : Legally, conduct problems are defined as delinquent or criminal acts. The broad term juvenile delinquency describes children who have broken a law, ranging from sneaking into a movie without paying to homicide. Delinquent acts include property crimes (e.g., vandalism, theft, and breaking and entering) and violent crimes (e.g., robbery, aggravated assault, homicide). From a psychological perspective, conduct problems fall along a continuous dimension of externalizing behavior (Burns et al., 1997). Children at the upper extreme of this dimension, usually one or more standard deviations above the mean, are considered to have conduct problems. From a psychiatric perspective, conduct problems are defined as distinct mental disorders based on DSM-5 symptoms (APA, 2013). DSM-5 contains the general category of disruptive, impulse-control, and conduct disorders. All disorders in this category involve problems in the self-control of emotions and behaviors, including two that refer to persistent patterns of antisocial behavior in youth—oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD). This perspective blends the legal, psychological, and psychiatric perspectives with public health concepts of prevention and intervention (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2001). The goal is to reduce the number of injuries and deaths, personal suffering, and economic costs associated with youth violence, in the same way that other health concerns such as automobile accidents or tobacco use are addressed. The public health approach cuts across disciplines and brings together policy makers, scientists, professionals, communities, families, and individuals to understand conduct problems in youths and determine how they can be treated and prevented (Dodge, 2011).

2 : Crossing the covertovert and destructivenondestructive dimensions of conduct problems yields four quadrants of antisocial behavior. Describe behaviors in each of these quadrants.

Correct Answer : The overt–covert dimension ranges from overt visible acts such as fighting to covert hidden acts such as lying or stealing. Children who display overt antisocial behavior tend to be negative, irritable, and resentful in their reactions to hostile situations and to experience higher levels of family conflict (Kazdin, 1992). In contrast, those displaying covert antisocial behavior are less social, more anxious, and more suspicious of others and come from homes that provide little family support. The destructive–nondestructive dimension ranges from acts such as cruelty to animals or physical assault to nondestructive behaviors such as arguing or irritability.

3 : Distinguish between childhood-onset versus adolescent-onset conduct disorder.

Correct Answer : Those with childhood-onset conduct disorder display at least one symptom of the disorder before age 10, whereas those with adolescent-onset conduct disorder do not.

Increasing evidence points to the importance of age at onset in diagnosing and treating children with CD (Odgers et al., 2008). Children diagnosed with childhood-onset CD are more likely to be boys, show more aggressive symptoms, account for a disproportionate amount of illegal activity, and persist in their antisocial behavior over time (Lahey, Goodman, et al., 1999). In contrast, youths diagnosed with adolescent-onset CD are as likely to be girls as boys and do not display the severity or psychopathology that characterizes the childhood onset group. They are also less likely to commit violent offenses or to persist in their antisocial behavior as they get older.

4 : What role do cognitive deficits and/or distortions play in conduct problems?

ScholarFriends.com

1 / 15

Correct Answer : Children with conduct problems rarely consider the future consequences of their behavior or its impact on others. They fail to inhibit their impulsive behavior, keep social values or future rewards in mind, or adapt their actions to changing circumstances. This pattern suggests deficits in executive functions similar to those of children with ADHD (Raine et al., 2005). Because ODD/CD and ADHD frequently co-occur, the observed deficits in executive functions in these children could be due to the presence of co-occurring ADHD (Pennington & Ozonoff, 1996).

5 : What lines of reasoning suggest that ADHD and CD are separate disorders?

Correct Answer : It is also possible that the types of executive functioning deficits experienced by children with ODD and CD may differ from those experienced by children with ADHD (Nigg et al., 2006). For example, Rubia (2010) has made the distinction between cool (as in temperature, not as in Lady Gaga) cognitive executive functions, such as attention, working memory, planning, and inhibition, and hot executive functions that involve incentives and motivation. Both cool and hot executive functions are associated with distinct but interconnected brain networks.

Cool executive function deficits are thought to be more characteristic of children with ADHD, whereas hot executive function deficits are more characteristic of children with conduct problems. Children with both ADHD and conduct problems, which is common, likely display a combination of the two types of executive function deficits.

6 : Compare and contrast the life-course-persistent (LCP) path with the adolescent-limited (AL) path, emphasizing causes, behaviors, and severity.

Correct Answer : The LCP path describes children who engage in aggression and antisocial behavior at an early age and continue to do so into adulthood. Their behaviors can vary and change over time. Their underlying disposition remains, but the way it is expressed changes with new opportunities at different points in development. Antisocial behavior begins early. In contrast, the AL path describes youths whose antisocial behavior begins around puberty and continues into adolescence, only to cease these behaviors in adulthood. Antisocial behavior in these children is limited primarily to their teen years. Their antisocial behavior is less extreme than LCP children, and their delinquency is more likely to be related to temporary situational factors, especially the influence of their peers.

7 : Explain the general progression of CD. Correct Answer : The earliest indications of conduct problems may be a difficult temperament in the first few years of life, expressed as fussiness, irritability, irregular sleeping and eating patterns, or fearfulness in response to novel events. During the preschool and early school years, a child with a difficult temperament displays an increase in hyperactivity and impulsivity with growing mobility, weak emotion-regulation skills, and a heightened risk for simple forms of oppositional and aggressive behaviors that peak during the preschool years (Tremblay, 2000).

Most children with conduct problems show diversification—they add new forms of antisocial behavior over time rather than simply replacing old behaviors. Poor social skills and social– cognitive deficits often accompany early oppositional and aggressive behaviors, predisposing the child to poor peer relationships, rejection by peers, and social isolation and withdrawal. In this progression, we see a snowballing negative cycle over time, where one deficit or problem behavior produces direct and indirect changes in others. For example, peer rejection leads to social–cognitive deficits and aggression; social–cognitive deficits lead to peer rejection and aggression; aggression leads to peer rejection (Lansford et al., 2010). Conversely, better social– cognitive skills may increase peer acceptance and lower aggressiveness. These cascading effects highlight the importance of looking at the progression of antisocial behavior over time as a dynamic developmental process involving relationships among neurobiological ScholarFriends.com

2 / 15

dispositions, social environments, cognitions, and behavior (Lansford et al., 2010).

8 : Distinguish between life-course-persistent and adolescent-limited pathways to antisocial behavior.

Correct Answer : The life-course-persistent (LCP) path describes children who engage in aggression and antisocial behavior at an early age and continue to do so into adulthood (Moffitt et al., 1996). They may display “biting and hitting at age 4, shoplifting and truancy at age 10, selling drugs and stealing cars at age 16, robbery and rape at age 22, and fraud and child abuse at age 30” (Moffitt, 1993, p. 679). Their underlying disposition remains, but the way it is expressed changes with new “opportunities” at different points in development. For these children, antisocial behavior begins early because of subtle neuropsychological deficits that may interfere with their development of language, memory, and self-control, resulting in cognitive deficits and a difficult temperament by age 3 or younger. The adolescent-limited (AL) path describes youths whose antisocial behavior begins around puberty and continues into adolescence, but who later cease these behaviors during young adulthood. This path includes most juvenile offenders whose antisocial behavior is limited primarily to their teen years (Hamalainen & Pulkkinen, 1996). Teens on the AL path display less extreme antisocial behavior than those on the LCP path, are less likely to drop out of school, and have stronger family ties.

Their delinquent activity is often related to temporary situational factors, especially peer influences. The behavior of AL youths is not consistent across situations; they may use drugs or shoplift with their friends while continuing to follow rules and to do well in school. Although these children do not display antisocial behavior in childhood, they do experience, like youngsters on the LCP path, greater social adversity and personal risk during childhood relative to other youths, suggesting that the AL pathway is not simply part of normal adolescent development (Roisman et al., 2010).

9 : What are some of the findings regarding genetic influences on the development of antisocial behavior?

Correct Answer : Adoption and twin studies indicate that 50% or more of the variance in antisocial behavior is attributable to heredity for both males and females. This influence is somewhat higher for aggressive versus nonaggressive conduct problems and in childhood versus adolescence. Research indicates that parents pass on a general liability for externalizing disorders to their children that may be expressed in different ways, including oppositional and conduct problems, inattention, and hyperactivity– impulsivity (Bornovalova et al., 2010). The heritability of conduct problems also varies by age at onset and other factors (Burt & Neiderhiser, 2009). For example, the strength of the genetic contribution is higher for children who display the LCP versus the AL pattern and for those with callous–unemotional traits (Viding et al., 2008). However, all externalizing disorders appear to share substantial genetic influences, suggesting at least some common causal factors among them (Lahey et al., 2011). Overall, adoption and twin studies suggest that both genetic and environmental factors contribute to antisocial behavior across development.

10 : Explain what the behavioral activation and behavioral inhibition systems are, and describe the role they play in conduct problems.

Correct Answer : The behavioral activation system (BAS) stimulates behavior in response to signals of reward or nonpunishment. In contrast, the behavioral inhibition system (BIS) produces anxiety and inhibits ongoing behavior in the presence of novel events, innate fear stimuli, and signals of nonreward or punishment. Other behavioral patterns may result from the relative balance or imbalance of activity in these two neural systems.

11 : Crick and Dodge (1994) and Dodge and Pettit (2003) have presented a socialcognitive model to account for the behavior of socially aggressive boys. As outlined by their model, discuss the steps in the thinking and behavior of aggressive children in social situations.

Correct Answer : Step 1: Encoding. Socially aggressive children use fewer cues before making a decision. When defining and resolving an interpersonal situation, they seek less information about the event before acting.Step 2: Interpretation. Socially aggressive children attribute hostile intentions to ambiguous events.Step 3: Response Search. Socially aggressive children generate fewer and more aggressive responses and have less knowledge about social problem solving.Step 4: Response Decision. Socially aggressive children are more likely to choose aggressive solutions.Step 5: Enactment. Socially aggressive children use poor verbal communication and strike out physically.

12 : Create a scenario between a mother and child that illustrates Pattersons coercion theory.

Correct Answer : Gerald Patterson’s coercion theory contends that parent–child interactions provide a training ground for the development of antisocial behavior (Patterson, Reid, & Dishion, 1992). This occurs through a four-step, escape-conditioning sequence in which the child learns to use increasingly intense forms of noxious behavior to escape and avoid unwanted parental demands. The coercive parent–child interaction begins when a mother finds her son, Paul, who is failing in school, watching TV rather than doing his homework. Coercive parent–child interactions are made up of well-practiced actions and reactions, which may occur with little awareness. This process is called a “reinforcement trap” because, over time, all family members become trapped by the consequences of their own behaviors. For example, mothers of antisocial children are eight times less likely to enforce demands than are mothers of nonproblem children (Patterson et al., 1992).

13 : What role do neighborhoods and schools play in antisocial behavior?

Correct Answer : The social selection hypothesis states that people who move into different neighborhoods differ from one another before they arrive, and those who remain differ from those who leave. For individuals with antisocial traits, this creates a community organization that minimizes productive social relations and effective social norms, leading to the antisocial behavior becoming the rule (Sampson, Raudenbush, & Earls, 1997). The effects of community characteristics on crime and delinquency are likely to be reinforced by neighborhood social disorganization characterized by few local friendship and acquaintance networks, low participation in local community organizations, and an inability to supervise and control teenage peer groups (Sampson & Groves, 1989). In high-risk neighborhoods, enrollment in a poorquality school is associated with antisocial and delinquent behavior, whereas a positive school experience can be a protective factor for the development of these behaviors (Rutter, 1989). A good school environment characterized by clear requirements for homework completion, high academic expectations, clear and consistent discipline policies, and incentives for appropriate school behavior and achievement may partially compensate for poor family circumstances.

Systematic interventions to promote these school characteristics have resulted in schoolwide reductions in children’s conduct problems (Gottfredson, Gottfredson, & Hybel, 1993).

14 : How does the media influence aggression in children?

Correct Answer : Exposure to media violence can be both: (1) a short-term precipitating factor for aggressive and violent behavior that results from priming, excitation, or imitation of specific behaviors and (2) a long-term predisposing factor for aggressive behavior acquired via desensitization to violence and observational learning of an aggression-supporting belief system (i.e., “the world is a hostile place,” “aggression is acceptable,” “aggression can be used to ScholarFriends.com

4 / 15

solve social problems”) (Huesmann et al., 2003). Exposure to media violence may reinforce preexisting antisocial tendencies in some children. For example, in a series of studies spanning more than a decade, children with conduct problems were found to view relatively large amounts of violent material, prefer aggressive characters, and believe fictional content to be true (Gadow & Sprafkin, 1993).

15 : Compare and contrast the focus of treatment methods for parent management training (PMT), problem-solving skills training (PSST), multisystemic therapy (MST), and preventive interventions. Discuss some of the limitations of PMT programs in treating conduct problems.

Correct Answer : PMT emphasizes changing children’s behaviors at home and other settings through active parent involvement. It assumes that poor parent–child interactions are at least partially responsible for a child’s antisocial behavior. The focus is on improving parent–child communication, monitoring, and supervision. PSST focuses on cognitive deficiencies displayed by children with interpersonal conduct problems. PSST can be used alone in with PMT. PSST assumes that the child’s perceptions and appraisals of environmental events will trigger antisocial responses, and that correcting family thinking will improve behavior. Instruction, practice, and feedback are used to help the child discover different ways to handle social situations. MST is a treatment for adolescents with severe conduct problems that threaten out-ofhome placement by their nature and severity. The emphasis in MST is on viewing the adolescent as functioning within a web of social systems, not just the family setting, and that antisocial behavior results from influences within any of these systems. Treatment is not limited to the adolescent but can include anyone in the child’s life. Preventive interventions assume that conduct problems can be treated with younger (as opposed to older) children, and that limiting or preventing the escalation of antisocial behaviors is possible through early treatment efforts.

SHORT RESPONSE 1 : Why do mood disorders in children frequently go undetected?

Correct Answer : Many young people with depression express these combined feelings of sadness and loss of interest or pleasure. However, some may never report feeling sad. Rather, they express their depression through their irritable mood. This is not something people would normally associate with depression.

2 : How do the symptomatic presentations of depression in preschoolers, school-aged children, preteens, and teens differ? How are they the same?

Correct Answer : Children express and experience depression differently at different ages (Weiss & Garber, 2003). An infant may show sadness by being passive and unresponsive; a preschooler may appear withdrawn and inhibited; a school-age child may be argumentative and combative or complain of feeling sick; and a teenager may express feelings of guilt and hopelessness, sulk, or feel misunderstood. These examples are not various types of depressions but likely represent different stages in the developmental course of the same process.

3 : Distinguish between depression as a symptom, syndrome, and disorder.

Correct Answer : As a symptom, depression refers to feeling sad or miserable. Depressive symptoms often occur without the existence of a serious problem, and they are relatively common at all ages. As a syndrome, depression is more than a sad mood. A syndrome refers to a group of symptoms that occur together more often than by chance. Along with sadness, the child may display a reduced interest or pleasure in activities, cognitive and motivational changes, and somatic and psychomotor changes. As a syndrome, depression represents an extreme on a dimension reflecting the number or severity of co-occurring symptoms that the child displays. As a disorder, depression comes in several forms. We will consider three types.

The first, major depressive disorder (MDD), has a minimum duration of two weeks and includes low mood, loss of interest or pleasure, other symptoms (e.g., sleep disturbances, difficulty concentrating, feelings of worthlessness), and significant distress or impairment in functioning.

The second, persistent depressive disorder (P-DD), or dysthymia, is associated with depressed or irritable mood, generally fewer, less severe, but longer-lasting symptoms (a year or more in children) than MDD, and significant impairment in functioning. The third, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), is a recently introduced depressive disorder characterized by (1) frequent and severe temper outbursts that are extreme overreactions to the situation or provocation and (2) chronic, persistently irritable or angry mood that is present between the severe temper outbursts.

4 : What reasons have been put forth for the increase in depression from the preschool to elementary school years and from childhood to adolescence?

Correct Answer : The modest increase in depression from preschool to elementary school is likely not biologically based but rather is a reflection of the school-age child’s growing selfawareness and cognitive capacity, verbal ability to report symptoms, and increased performance and social pressures. In contrast, the sharp increase in depression in adolescence appears to be the result of biological maturation at puberty interacting with important developmental changes that occur during this tumultuous period. This hypothesis is supported by the emergence of large sex differences in depression after puberty, the emergence of bipolar disorder, and the relative stability in rates of depression through adolescence (Birmaher et al., ScholarFriends.com

1996).

5 : Distinguish between major depressive disorder and dysthymic disorder.

Correct Answer : Young people who suffer from persistent depressive disorder (P-DD) experience symptoms of depressed mood that occur for most of the day, on most days, and persist for at least one year. They are unhappy or irritable most of the time. (The sad and gloomy life of Eeyore the donkey in the 100 Acre Wood likely qualifies for a diagnosis of P-DD.) Combined with their chronic depressed (or irritable) mood, these children also display at least two somatic (e.g., eating problems, sleep disturbances, low energy) or cognitive symptoms (e.g., lack of concentration, low self-esteem, feelings of hopelessness) that are present while they are depressed. Although the symptoms of P-DD are chronic, they are less severe than those for children with MDD. P-DD is a “new” category in DSM-5; it combines the previous DSM-IV categories of Dysthymic Disorder and MDD—Chronic. This was done because of the lack of differences between youths with a dysthymic disorder and those with a chronic type of major depression. In comparison to nonchronic MDD, chronic forms of depression, whether referred to as dysthymic disorder, chronic major depression, or P-DD are associated with a poorer response to treatment, greater long-term morbidity at follow-up, and greater familial loading for affective disorders (McCullough et al., 2003).

6 : What role do cognitive deficits and cognitive distortions play in depression?

Correct Answer : Many children with depression experience biases, deficits, and distortions in their thinking (Lakdawalla, Hankin, & Mermelstein, 2007). These children commonly notice depression-relevant cues such as sad facial expressions more often than positive cues such as happy facial expressions (Ehrmantrout et al., 2011; Hankin et al., 2010). Given the importance of accurately reading emotional cues for successful social relationships, these selective attentional biases can contribute to adverse relationships with family members and peers.

7 : How is self-esteem related to depression in children?

Correct Answer : Almost all young people with depression experience negative self-esteem. In fact, low self-esteem is the symptom that seems most specifically related to depression in adolescents (Lewinsohn et al., 1997). Self-esteem in children with depression is also highly reactive to daily life events, and such daily fluctuations in self-esteem appear to be related to depression following exposure to major life stresses (Roberts & Gotlib, 1997). Thus, both low self-esteem and unstable self-esteem seem to play an important role in depression.

8 : What is the role of the family in the development and maintenance of depression in young people?

Correct Answer : Youngsters with depression experience less supportive and more conflictual relationships with their mothers, fathers, and siblings than do children who do not have depression. They report feeling socially isolated from their families and prefer to be alone rather than with them. In family situations, the child’s social isolation may not be a social skill deficit, but rather a reflection of the child’s desire to avoid conflict. Family relationship difficulties have been found to persist even when children are no longer clinically depressed (Sheeber et al., 2007).

9 : Explain some of the concerns of treating young people with depression with medications.

Correct Answer : The main concerns are possible serious side effects such as suicidal thoughts and self-harm and a lack of information about the long-term effects of these medications on the ScholarFriends.com

developing brain. Related to these concerns and warnings by the FDA, the use of SSRIs with young people has decreased by about 20% in more recent years (Gibbons et al., 2007; Libby et al., 2007). In 2004, the FDA asked all manufacturers of antidepressant medications to include in their labeling a boxed warning (black box) and Patient Education Guide to alert consumers about the increased risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in youngsters treated with these medications.

10 : Compare and contrast behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, CBT, ITP-A, and medication as treatments for young people with depression.

Correct Answer : Behavior therapy aims to increase behaviors that elicit positive reinforcement and to reduce punishment from the environment. It may involve teaching social and other coping skills and emphasizing anxiety management and relaxation training. Cognitive therapy focuses on helping the youth become more aware of pessimistic and negative thoughts, beliefs and biases, and self-blame. CBT combines elements of behavioral and cognitive therapies in an integrated approach. Attribution retraining may also be used. Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Adolescent Depression (ITP-A) explores family and interpersonal interactions that maintain depression. Family and individual counseling sessions occur in which youths are encouraged to understand their own negative cognitive style and the effects of their depression on others.

Medication, in contrast, treats mood disturbances and other symptoms using antidepressants.

11 : What are some of the characteristics of a family with a depressed child? Of a family with a depressed parent?

Correct Answer : Families of children with depression display more critical and punitive behavior toward their depressed child than toward other children in the family. As compared with families of youngsters without depression, these families display more anger and conflict, greater use of control, poorer communication, more overinvolvement, and less warmth and support (Sheeber et al., 2007; Stein et al., 2000). They often experience high levels of stress, disorganization, marital discord, and a lack of social support (Messer & Gross, 1995; Slavin & Rainer, 1990).

Depression interferes with a parent’s ability to meet the basic physical and emotional needs of a child, including feeding, bedtime routines, medical care, and safety practices. Mothers who suffer from depression also create a child-rearing environment teeming with negative mood, irritability, helplessness, less emotional flexibility, and unpredictable displays of affection. When their children display negative emotions and distress, mothers with a history of depression are less likely to respond supportively with comfort, empathy, or assistance and are more likely to disapprove, dismiss, punish, or ignore their child’s negative emotions (Silk et al., 2011).

Depressed mothers also display less energy in stimulating play, less consistent discipline, less involvement, poor communication, lack of affection, and more criticism and resentment of their children than mothers without depression (Goodman, 2007).

12 : What approach is used in The ACTION for treating children with depression and their families? Describe The ACTION program.

Correct Answer : The ACTION acronym is used to nourish the idea that youngsters can have an impact on their moods, and it is presented to them as follows (Stark & Kendall, 1996, p. 14): A = Always find something to do to feel better; C = Catch the positive; T = Think about it as a problem to be solved; I = Inspect the situation; O = Open yourself to the positive; N = Never get stuck in the negative muck. Multiple treatment procedures are used to reduce the child’s mood disturbances, behavioral deficits, and cognitive symptoms: Dysphoria, anger, anhedonia, and excessive anxiety are treated by educating the child about the relation between mood, thinking, and behavior, and by using anger management procedures, scheduling pleasant activities, and relaxation training. Interpersonal deficits are treated using social skills training. Cognitive ScholarFriends.com

3 / 14

distortions and negative and self-critical thinking are addressed by using cognitive restructuring procedures and training in effective problem-solving and self-control procedures.

13 : Distinguish between manic, mixed, and hypomanic episodes.

Correct Answer : A manic episode, which is the hallmark feature of BP, involves a discrete period of a week or more during which the youngster displays an ongoing, pervasive, and unusually elevated or irritable mood and persistently increased goal-directed activity or energy.

This episode is accompanied by the types of symptoms we have been describing such as an exaggerated self-esteem, a reduced need for sleep, racing thoughts, rapid and frenzied speech, attention to irrelevant details, increased activity, or overinvolvement in pleasurable but often reckless and risky behaviors. A hypomanic episode has features that resemble a manic episode in quality but are less intense—the mood disturbance and increased activity or energy are less severe, of shorter duration, and produce less impairment in functioning than a manic episode.

DSM-5 also includes a specifier of “with mixed features,” which can be used when a current manic or hypomanic episode includes subthreshold symptoms of depression or dysthymia or when an episode of MDD includes subthreshold symptoms of mania or hypomania.

14 : Identify and describe common co-occurring disorders for youths with bipolar disorder.

Correct Answer : Common co-occurring disorders for youths with BP include anxiety disorders, ADHD, ODD, CD, substance-use problems, and suicidal ideations and attempts. Additionally, sleep disturbances, disrupted relationships, risk-taking behaviors, and medical problems such as obesity, cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, epilepsy, and migraines are common for youths with BP. 15 : What are some of the concerns with medications such as lithium in treating a child who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder?

Correct Answer : Lithium is a common salt that is widely present in the natural environment—for example, in drinking water—usually in amounts too small to have any effects. However, the side effects of therapeutic doses of lithium can be serious, especially when used in combination with other medications; side effects may include toxicity (poisoning), renal and thyroid problems, and substantial weight gain (Gracious et al., 2004). It can be given to young people when used with the same safety precautions and similar careful monitoring used for adults. However, lithium cannot be given to children in chaotic families or to children who are unable to keep the multiple appointments needed for monitoring potentially dangerous side effects (Carlson, 1994; Geller & Luby, 1997).

SHORT RESPONSE 1 : Discuss in detail what happens when the physical response system is activated in the face of perceived danger.

Correct Answer : Chemical effects. Adrenaline and nonadrenaline are released from the adrenal glands. Cardiovascular effects. Heart rate and strength of the heart beat increase, readying the body for action by speeding up blood flow and improving delivery of oxygen to the tissues.

Respiratory effects. Speed and depth of breathing increase, which brings oxygen to the tissues and removes waste. This may produce feelings of breathlessness, choking or smothering, or chest pains. Sweat gland effects. Sweating increases, which cools the body and makes the skin slippery. Other physical effects. The pupils widen to let in more light, which may lead to blurred vision or spots in front of the eyes. Salivation decreases, resulting in a dry mouth. Decreased activity in the digestive system may lead to nausea and a heavy feeling in the stomach. Muscles tense in readiness for fight or flight, leading to subjective feelings of tension, aches and pains, and trembling.

2 : Review the three anxiety response systems and give examples from each.

Correct Answer : Physical System. When a person perceives or anticipates danger, the brain sends messages to the sympathetic nervous system, which produces the fight/flight response.

The activation of this system produces many important chemical and physical effects that mobilize the body for action. Cognitive System. Since the main purpose of the fight/flight system is to signal possible danger, its activation produces an immediate search for a potential threat.

For children with anxiety disorders, it is difficult to focus on everyday tasks because their attention is consumed by a constant search for threat or danger. When these children can’t find proof of danger, they may turn their search inward: “If nothing is out there to make me feel anxious, then something must be wrong with me.” Behavioral System. The overwhelming urges that accompany the fight/flight response are aggression and a desire to escape the threatening situation, but social constraints may prevent fulfilling either impulse. For example, just before a final exam, you may feel like attacking your professor or not showing up at all, but fortunately, for your professor and your need to pass the course, you are likely to inhibit these urges!

However, they may show up as foot tapping, fidgeting, or irritability (consider the number of teeth marks in pencils) or as escape or avoidance by getting a doctor’s note, requesting a deferral, or even faking illness.

3 : Distinguish between worry, anxiety, and panic.

Correct Answer : Worry, which is characterized as thinking about all possible negative outcomes, serves an extremely useful function in normal development. In moderate doses, worry can help children prepare for the future—for example, by checking their homework before they hand it in or by rehearsing for an upcoming class play. Anxiety is a mood state characterized by strong negative emotion and bodily symptoms of tension in which the child apprehensively anticipates future danger or misfortune (Barlow, 2002). Panic is a group of physical symptoms of the fight/flight response that unexpectedly occur in the absence of any obvious threat or danger.

4 : What are some of the normal worries, anxieties, and rituals/routines of children?

Correct Answer : The most frequent symptoms in samples of children with normal anxieties are separation anxiety, test anxiety, overconcern about competence, excessive need for reassurance, and anxiety about harm to a parent (Barrios & Hartmann, 1997). In moderate ScholarFriends.com

1 / 13

doses, worry can help children prepare for the future—for example, by checking their homework before they hand it in or by rehearsing for an upcoming class play. Ritualistic, repetitive activity is extremely common in young children (Peleg-Popko & Dar, 2003). A familiar example is the bedtime ritual of saying good night—addressing people in a certain order or giving a certain number of hugs and kisses. Normal ritualistic behaviors in young children include preferences for sameness in the environment (e.g., watching the same DVD over and over again), rigid likes and dislikes, preferences for symmetry (e.g., carrying a toy in each hand), awareness of minute details or imperfections in toys or clothes (e.g., being bothered by a minuscule thread on a jacket sleeve), and arranging things so they are “just right” (e.g., insisting that different foods not touch each other on the plate).

5 : Give some examples of behavior of a child with separation anxiety disorder (SAD).

Correct Answer : Young children with SAD may have vague feelings of anxiety or repeated nightmares about being kidnapped or killed or about the death of a parent. They frequently display excessive demands for parental attention by clinging to their parents and shadowing their every move. Often, they are reluctant to sleep separated from their parents, and they try to climb into their parents’ bed at night or sleep on the floor just outside their parents’ bedroom door (Allen et al., 2010). Older children with SAD may have difficulty being alone in a room during the day, sleeping alone even at home, running errands, going to school, or going to camp. They may also have specific fantasies of illness, accidents, kidnapping, or physical harm.

6 : What are some symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and which symptom distinguishes GAD from other anxiety disorders?

Correct Answer : For children with GAD, worrying can be episodic or almost continuous. The worrier is unable to relax and may experience physical symptoms such as muscle tension, headaches, or nausea. Common symptoms of GAD include irritability, difficulty concentrating, and a lack of energy, difficulty falling asleep, and restless sleep (Comer et al., 2012; Layne et al., 2009). In other anxiety disorders, anxiety converges on specific situations or objects, such as separation, social performance, animals or insects, or bodily sensations. In contrast, the anxiety experienced by individuals with GAD is widespread and focuses on a variety of everyday life events (Andrews et al., 2010).

7 : List the five subtypes of specific phobias, and give an example of the focus of fear for each one.

Correct Answer : As specified in DSM-5, common types of specific phobias in young people include fears of animals or insects (e.g., dogs or spiders); fears of natural events (e.g., heights or thunderstorms); fears of blood, injuries, or medical procedures (e.g., seeing blood or receiving an injection); and fears of specific situations (e.g., flying in airplanes, riding on a bus).

Both similarities (e.g., age at onset, gender, treatment response) and differences (e.g., focus of fear, physiological reaction, neural response patterns, impairment, comorbidity) have been found across these types, with natural environment and animal phobias having the most in common with other types, and blood, injury, and injection phobias the least (LeBeau et al., 2010; Lueken et al., 2011).

8 : Distinguish between obsessions and compulsions, and discuss the relationship between them.

Correct Answer : Obsessions are persistent and intrusive thoughts, urges, or images that are experienced as intrusive and unwanted and generally cause significant anxiety or distress.

Compulsions are repetitive, purposeful, and intentional behaviors (e.g., hand washing) or mental ScholarFriends.com

2 / 13

acts (e.g., repeating words silently) that are performed in response to obsessions in an attempt to suppress or neutralize them. Most children with OCD have multiple obsessions and compulsions, and certain compulsions are commonly associated with specific obsessions. For example, washing and cleaning rituals are likely to be associated with contamination obsessions, such as a concern with dirt or germs, a concern or disgust with body wastes or secretions (e.g., urine, feces, saliva), or an excessive concern about chemical or environmental contamination.

9 : Why are panic attacks rare in young children?

Correct Answer : One explanation is that young children lack the cognitive ability to make the catastrophic misinterpretations (e.g., “my heart is beating rapidly and I’m sitting here watching TV like I always do—I must be going crazy”) that usually accompany panic attacks (Nelles & Barlow,1988).

10 : What are the different symptoms for a diagnostic criteria of panic disorder?

Correct Answer : One common element is that an abrupt surge can occur from a calm state or from an anxious state. Symptoms include palpitations; pounding heart; accelerated heart rate; sweating; trembling or shaking; sensations or shortness of breath or smothering; feelings of choking; chest pain or discomfort; nausea or abdominal distress; feeling dizzy, unsteady, lightheaded, or faint; chills or heat sensations; paresthesias; derealization or depersonalization; fear of losing control or going crazy; and fear of dying.

11 : Identify the diagnostic criteria needed for a diagnosis of OCD. Correct Answer : First, a child must present obsessions, compulsions, or both. Next, the obsessions or compulsions are time-consuming (at least an hour a day) or cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning; the symptoms are not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance abuse or use, or another medical condition; and the disturbance is not better explained by the symptoms of another mental disorder.

12 : Compare and contrast positive and negative affectivity and the role of these concepts in understanding the link between anxiety and depression.

Correct Answer : Positive affectivity refers to a persistent positive mood that includes states such as joy, enthusiasm, and energy. Negative affectivity, in contrast, is a persistent negative mood, as reflected in nervousness, sadness, anger, and guilt. Negative affectivity is related to both anxiety and depression, whereas positive affectivity is negatively correlated with depression and is independent of anxiety symptoms and diagnoses. Children with anxiety generally do not differ from children with depression in their negative affect, suggesting that a general underlying dimension of negative affectivity is common between anxiety and depression.

13 : What is the behavior lens principle?

Correct Answer : Perhaps the most accurate way to analyze cultural differences in anxiety is using Weisz and colleagues’ (2003, p. 384) behavior lens principle, which states that child psychopathology reflects a mix of actual child behavior and the lens through which it is viewed by others in a child’s culture.

14 : What role does temperament play in the development of anxiety disorders?

ScholarFriends.com

3 / 13

Correct Answer : Children with a high threshold for novelty are presumed to be at low risk for developing anxiety disorders. Other children (about 15% to 20%) are born with a low threshold for becoming overexcited and to withdrawing in response to novel stimulation as infants, a tendency to be fearful and anxious as toddlers, and a tendency to be unusually shy or withdrawn in novel or unfamiliar situations as young children. This type of temperament is called behavioral inhibition (BI), an enduring trait for some and a predisposing factor for the development of later anxiety disorders, particularly SOC (Chronis-Tuscano et al., 2009; Kagan, 2017).

15 : Discuss Kendalls CBT treatment program Coping Cat, for treating social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, and separation anxiety disorder.

Correct Answer : The CBT treatment program Coping Cat, developed by Philip Kendall and his colleagues, is one of the most carefully evaluated treatments for youngsters 7 to 13 years old who have GAD, SAD, and SOC (Kendall, Furr, & Podell, 2010). A teen version is available, as is an Australian adaptation (Coping Koala). This approach emphasizes learning processes and the influence of contingencies and models, as well as the pivotal role of information processing.

Treatment is directed at decreasing negative thinking, increasing active problem solving, and providing the child with a functional coping outlook. The intervention creates behavioral experiences with emotional involvement while simultaneously addressing thought processes (Kendall et al., 2010).

SHORT RESPONSE 1 : What are some of the paradoxical dilemmas commonly faced by maltreated children?

Correct Answer : The victim not only wants to stop the violence but also longs to belong to a family. Loyalty and strong emotional ties to the abuser are powerful opponents to the victim’s desire to be safe and protected. Affection and attention may coexist with violence and abuse. A recurring cycle may begin, whereby mounting tension, characterized by fear and anticipation, ultimately gives way to more abusive behavior. A period of reconciliation may follow, with increased affection and attention. Children are always hopeful that the abuse will not recur. The intensity of the violence tends to increase over time, although in some cases physical violence may decrease or even stop altogether. Abusive behavior may vary throughout the relationship, taking verbal, sexual, emotional, or physical forms, but the adult’s abuse of power and control remains the central issue.

2 : What are some of the determinants of healthy parentchild relationships and family roles?

Correct Answer : Adequate knowledge of child development and expectations, including knowledge of children’s normal adequate skill in coping with the stress related to caring for small children, and knowledge of ways to enhance child development through proper stimulation and attention; opportunities to develop normal parent–child attachment and early patterns of communication; adequate parental knowledge of home management, including basic financial planning, proper shelter, and meal planning; opportunities and willingness to share the duties of child care between two parents, when applicable; and provision of necessary social and health services.

3 : Compare and contrast elements of a positive parenting style with elements of a negative parenting style.

Correct Answer : A positive parenting style provides a variety of sensory stimulation and positive emotional expressions, expresses joy at a child’s efforts and accomplishments, engages in competent, child-centered interactions to encourage development, as well as friendly, positive interactions that encourage independent exploration. A positive style also demonstrates consistency and predictability to promote the parent–child relationship, makes rules for safety and health, and employs appropriate safeguards based on the child’s age. These parents occasionally scold, criticize, and interrupt child activity, and they teach the child through behavioral rather than psychological control methods, using emotional delivery and tone that are firm but not frightening. In contrast, negative parenting styles express conditional love and ambivalent feelings toward the child, showing little sensitivity to the child’s needs. Negative parenting rejects the child’s attention and takes advantage of the child’s dependency status through coercion, threats, or bribes, as well as responding unpredictably, typically accompanied by emotional discharge. Rules and limits are sporadic and capricious, and they tend to be exploited for the parent’s benefit. Disciplinary practices include cruel and harsh control methods with emphasis on frightening, threatening, denigrating, and insulting the child.

4 : Describe the continuum of child care.

Correct Answer : At the positive end of this continuum, we see appropriate and healthy forms of child-rearing actions that promote child development. Competent parents encourage their child’s development in a variety of ways and match their demands and expectations to the child’s needs and abilities. Of course, parents are human, and many on occasion will scold, criticize, or even show insensitivity to the child’s state of need; in fact, discipline often requires ScholarFriends.com

such firm control, with accompanying verbal statements and affect. Poor/dysfunctional actions, shown in the middle of the diagram, represent greater degrees of irresponsible and harmful child care. Parents who show any discernible degree of these actions toward their child often need instruction and assistance in effective child-care methods. Finally, the far right of the diagram depicts parents who violate their child’s basic needs and dependency status in a physically, sexually, or emotionally intrusive or abusive manner. Similarly, their failure to respond to a child’s needs is the cornerstone of neglect.

5 : Identify the determinants of demandingness and responsiveness that are required for children to adequately meet their developmental needs.

Correct Answer : These include adequate knowledge of child development and expectations, including knowledge of children’s normal sexual development and experimentation; adequate skill in coping with the stress related to caring for small children, and knowledge of ways to enhance child development through proper stimulation and attention; opportunities to develop normal parent–child attachment and early patterns of communication; adequate parental knowledge of home management, including basic financial planning, proper shelter, and meal planning; opportunities and willingness to share the duties of child care between two parents, when applicable; and provisions of necessary social and health services.

6 : What is the nature of maltreated childrens representational models of themselves and others?

Correct Answer : Maltreated children often lack these core positive beliefs about themselves and their world. Instead, they may develop negative representational models of themselves and others based on a sense of inner “badness,” self-blame, shame, or rage, all of which further impair their ability to regulate their affective responses (Simon, Feiring, & McElroy, 2010; Valentino et al., 2008).

7 : What is the cycle-of-violence hypothesis? Does the literature support or refute this hypothesis? (Be sure to support your answer.)

Correct Answer : This relationship between being abused as a child and becoming abusive toward others as an adult is known as the “cycle-of-violence hypothesis.” Although victims of violence have a greater chance of becoming perpetrators of violence, this relationship is not inevitable and it can be attenuated through early intervention (Berlin et al., 2011).

8 : What are traumatic events and what do they include?

Correct Answer : Traumatic events are defined as exposure to actual or threatened harm or fear of death or injury and are considered uncommon or extreme stressors. Such terrifying or lifethreatening events are wide-ranging. They include careless or intentional acts such as physical and sexual abuse, neglect, and exposure to domestic and community violence, as well as unintended medical traumas, accidents, natural disasters, war, terrorism, refugee trauma, and traumatic loss (Gerson & Rappaport, 2013).

9 : Describe the dynamic process of child abuse.

Correct Answer : In a dynamic process, parental and situational factors interact over time to either increase or decrease the risk of physical abuse or neglect (MacKenzie, Kotch, & Lee, 2011). Figure 12.3 depicts this dynamic process in relation to three hypothetical transitional stages. These stages suggest that maladaptive interaction patterns, like adaptive ones, do not develop simply because of the predilections of the parent or child. On the contrary, these ScholarFriends.com

patterns are the result of complex interactions between child characteristics, parental personality and style, the history of the parent–child relationship, and the supportive or nonsupportive nature of the broader social context within which the family is embedded (Wolfe, 1999). This process, moreover, includes both destabilizing and compensatory factors that can influence the likelihood of abuse or neglect in a negative or positive fashion, respectively.

10 : What are some of the media and entertainment industrys influences on child maltreatment?

Correct Answer : Consider how the entertainment industry, including many aspects of the media and professional sports, earns billions of dollars in profits from exploiting our interests in violence in all of its forms. Equally disturbing is the portrayal of sex roles by society’s envoys in the media and the entertainment industry: Females are stereotypically presented as relatively powerless and passive and men as vested with power; women are encouraged to defer to the benevolence of powerful men, and men are encouraged to challenge the autonomy of powerful and assertive women (Hedley, 2002). These cultural phenomena are ingrained through years of repeated imagery, and they are presumed to be the basis for the motivation of some men to maintain control and power in a relationship (Williams, 2003).

11 : Describe acute stress disorder and distinguish from PTSD. Correct Answer : Acute stress disorder is characterized by the development during or within 1 month after exposure to an extreme traumatic stressor of at least nine symptoms associated with intrusion, negative mood, dissociation, avoidance, and arousal (these are largely the same symptoms as PTSD, described below, but last for 1 month or less). Similar to PTSD, the traumatic event is relived over and over, leading to attempts to avoid any reminders that arouse memories of it. Acute stress disorder emphasizes the more immediate, but short-term, dissociative reactions to trauma, whereas PTSD reflects the longer-lasting, ongoing pattern.

12 : What would be considered manageable stress for children?

Correct Answer : All children must cope with various degrees of stress, and these experiences can be strengthening if they do not exceed the child’s coping ability—that is, the nature and amount of stress is manageable (Masten & Wright, 2010). Stressful experiences that are mild, predictable, and brief are usually manageable and can actually enhance a child’s biological and psychological competence (Thompson, 2014).

13 : What is the nature of the relationship between poverty and child sexual abuse?

Correct Answer : Poverty is the greatest factor in the child prostitution explosion, as migration of families from rural areas into cities creates unemployment, the breakdown of family structures, homelessness, and inevitably, an increase in child prostitution.

14 : What are some of the obstacles to intervention and prevention services for maltreating families?

Correct Answer : (1) Those most in need are least likely to seek help on their own; (2) these children are brought to the attention of professionals as a result of someone else’s concern, usually after they have violated expected norms or laws; and (3) parents do not want to admit to problems because they fear losing their children or being charged with a crime (fears that are, of course, realistic).

15 : Describe treatments used for physically abused or neglected children.

ScholarFriends.com

Correct Answer : Interventions for physical abuse usually involve ways to change how parents teach, discipline, and attend to their children, most often by training parents in basic childrearing skills, accompanied by cognitive–behavioral methods that target specific anger patterns or distorted beliefs. Treatment for child neglect also focuses on parenting skills and expectations, coupled with teaching parents how to improve their skills in organizing important family needs—such as home safety, finances, and medical needs, among others—as well as drug and alcohol counseling (Azar & Wolfe, 2006). Similarly, children who have witnessed violence in the home benefit from interventions that address their needs in the context of their family circumstances. For example, their nonoffending mothers may attend treatment with them, so that mothers learn ways to deal with problematic child behavior while also providing appropriate maternal support (Graham-Bermann et al., 2007; Jaffe et al., 2011).

SHORT RESPONSE 1 : What is the nature of the relationship between sleep problems and psychological adjustment?

Correct Answer : Sleep problems may cause emotional and behavioral problems among children and adolescents, and they may be caused by a psychological disorder. An underlying factor common to both sleep problems and other disorders may cause sleep issues in some cases.Problems in the brain’s arousal and regulatory systems can cause increased anxiety and can affect sleep (see Chapter 11). Stress-related events, especially those that affect the child’s safety—such as war, disaster, and family conflict—both increase arousal and interfere with normal sleep patterns (El-Sheikh, Bub, et al., 2013; Kelly & El-Sheikh, 2013). Simply stated, sleep–wake disorders can cause other psychological problems, or they can result from other disorders or conditions. Sleep–wake disorders have considerable importance to abnormal child psychology because they mimic or worsen many of the symptoms of major disorders.

2 : Why do children spend much of their early developmental years asleep?

Correct Answer : Arguably, sleep is the primary activity of the brain during the early years of development. Consider this: By 2 years of age, the average child has spent almost 10,000 hours (nearly 14 months) asleep, and approximately 7,500 hours (about 10 months) in waking activities (Anders, Goodlin-Jones, & Sadeh, 2000). During those two years, the brain has reached 90% of its adult size and the child has attained remarkable complexity in cognitive skills, language, concept of self, socioemotional development, and physical skills (Dahl, 2007; Dahl & El-Sheikh, 2007). And most of these maturational advances occurred while the child was asleep.

3 : Distinguish between dyssomnias and parasomnias.

Correct Answer : Dyssomnias are disorders of initiating or maintaining sleep, characterized by difficulty getting enough sleep, not sleeping when you want to, not feeling refreshed after sleeping, and so forth. Parasomnias, in contrast, are sleep disorders in which behavioral or physiological events intrude on ongoing sleep. Whereas dyssomnias involve disruptions in the sleep process, parasomnias involve physiological or cognitive arousal at inappropriate times during the sleep–wake cycle, which can result in sleepwalking or in nightmares that jolt someone from sleep. Persons suffering from parasomnia sleep disorders often report unusual behaviors while asleep, rather than sleepiness or insomnia.

4 : Distinguish between nightmares and sleep terrors.

Correct Answer : They include nightmares (repeated awakenings, with frightening dreams that you usually remember), sleep terrors (abrupt awakening, accompanied by autonomic arousal but no recall), and sleepwalking (getting out of bed and walking around, but with no recall the next day). Nightmares occur during rapid-eye-movement (REM) (dream) sleep, usually during the second half of the sleep period, whereas sleep terrors and sleepwalking occur during nonREM (NREM) sleep (for this reason, DSM-5 combines sleep terrors and sleepwalking into one category: NREM sleep arousal disorders). Sleep terrors and sleepwalking occur during deep sleep in the first third of the sleep cycle, when the person is so soundly asleep that he or she is difficult to arouse and has no recall of the episode the next morning (Reid et al., 2009).

5 : Discuss how symptoms of sleep disturbances can appear similar to diagnosable disorders, such as ADHD. ScholarFriends.com

Correct Answer : Perhaps you have noticed how sleep problems co-occur with many different disorders, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, anxiety, conduct problems, and developmental disorders (Chorney et al., 2008; Kelly & El-Sheikh, 2013). This connection raises an important consideration: Do sleep problems cause other disorders, or do they result from them? The answer to this question requires an understanding of how sleep problems interact with a person’s psychological well-being. Since sleep problems commonly arise from particular stressors—an upcoming exam or a relationship problem—we tend to think that sleep difficulties are secondary symptoms of a more primary problem. However, the relationship between sleep problems and psychological adjustment is bidirectional.

6 : Explain how behavioral conditioning methods can be used to treat enuresis.

Correct Answer : The standard behavioral intervention, based on classical conditioning principles, is using an alarm that sounds at the first detection of urine. Bed-wetting alarms have been around since Mowrer and Mowrer (1938) first invented the “bell and pad” (a batteryoperated device that produced a loud sound as soon as a drop of urine closed the electrical circuit), and they are among the safest and most effective treatments. Modern alarms have a simple moisture sensor that snaps into a child’s pajamas, with a small speaker attached to the shoulder to awaken the child. A single drop of urine completes the electronic circuit, setting off a piercing alarm that causes the child to tense and reflexively stop urinating.

7 : What are some of the most important correlates of adjustment of children to chronic illness?

Correct Answer : When maternal abilities remain intact, child and family functioning is less impaired. This illustrates the reciprocal relationship between children’s adjustment and parental stress and distress—healthy parental adjustment is related to healthy child adjustment, and vice versa. (Most research has considered only the role of mothers on child adjustment, but the specific influence of fathers on children’s coping and adaptation to chronic illness is being recognized [Ware & Raval, 2007].) Thus, parental adjustment is one of the important correlates of children’s adjustment to chronic illness.

8 : Discuss the transactional stress and coping model (for chronic childhood illness) as proposed by Thompson and colleagues.

Correct Answer : The transactional stress and coping model explains how children’s adaptation to chronic illness is influenced not only by the nature of the illness itself but also by personal and family resources (Gustafson et al., 2006; Thompson et al., 1994). This model helps make sense of the complicated processes that shape children’s outcomes. The transactional stress and coping model emphasizes the stressful nature of chronic illness, which compels the child and family members to adapt. How they accomplish the adaptation is a key factor in children’s outcomes.

9 : Michelle has recently been diagnosed with childhood cancer. Understandably, her parents are concerned about her well-being and want to know how they can best help Michelle to cope with the painful procedures she will have to endure. What advice and suggestions would you make to Michelles parents?

Correct Answer : In general, there are two main psychological approaches to helping children cope with stressful medical procedures and chronic and recurrent pain: providing information and training them in coping skills (Thompson & Gustafson, 1996). Information strategies offer verbal explanations and demonstrations as well as modeling the procedure, which reduce distress because this makes the medical procedure more predictable (Jaaniste, Hayes, & von ScholarFriends.com

Baeyer, 2007).Coping strategies involve teaching the various coping skills of deep breathing, attention distraction muscle relaxation, relaxing imagery, emotive imagery, and behavioral rehearsal (e.g., children may be asked to imagine themselves as superheroes undergoing a test of their powers) (Dahlquist, 1999). Children are encouraged to identify specific stressors associated with their illness (e.g., giving themselves an injection) and to learn ways to handle those stressors and prevent distress or failure.

10 : Explain how diabetes impacts children, especially adolescents.

Correct Answer : Children and teens must carefully follow the instructions given to them by their physicians and practice careful regimen adherence. This requires children to have correct knowledge about their disease and its treatment, recognizing the need to adhere to treatment needs, and adequate problem-solving skills. Adolescence is a particularly difficult period for diabetics because of the impact that the illness can have on self-esteem and social and educational experiences.

11 : Explain how a diagnosis of cancer can affect a child.

Correct Answer : Children with cancer undergo complicated medical treatment regimens, especially in the years immediately following diagnosis. They face school absences, significant treatment side effects, and an uncertain prognosis. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy can cause hair loss and weight changes, as well as nausea, vomiting, increased fatique, endocrine and growth retardation, and a depressed immune system. Treatment requires children to be away from friends and some family members, hindering their psychosocial development.

12 : Define and give an example of psychological dependence and physical dependence.

Correct Answer : Psychological dependence refers to the subjective feeling of needing the substance to adequately function. Physical dependence occurs when the body adapts to the substance’s constant presence, and tolerance refers to requiring more of the substance to experience an effect once obtained at a lower dose. Another aspect of physical dependence is the experience of withdrawal, an adverse physiological symptom that occurs when consumption of an abused substance is ended abruptly and is thus removed from the body.

13 : Identify and describe the leading causes of adolescent substance use.

Correct Answer : Several pathways and various risk factors have been associated with substance abuse in adolescents, including personality associated with substance use; perceiving oneself to be physically older than same-age peers and striving or adult social roles are risky attitudes held by some teens. Feelings about school—in particular how connected they feel to their school community—are associated with a lower risk for use of substances.

Adolescents with a positive family history for alcoholism may inherit certain brain structures and functional abilities from parents. Additionally, low parental monitoring is a predictor of adolescent substance abuse. Finally, the importance of peers and peer culture plays a large role in determining the extent to which teens use and abuse substances.

14 : What kind of a treatment program would you suggest for an adolescent diagnosed with a SUD? Correct Answer : Derived from interventions for conduct disorders, family-based approaches seek to modify negative interactions between family members, improve communication between members, and develop effective problem-solving skills to address areas of conflict (Anderson et al., 2007; Spoth et al., 2012). Multisystemic therapy (MST), for example, involves intensive ScholarFriends.com

intervention that targets family, peer, school, and community systems; it has been especially effective in the treatment of SUDs among delinquent adolescents (Henggeler et al., 2008).

15 : Give an example of a substance abuse prevention program and explain its goals.

Correct Answer : Life skills training, a detailed and well-evaluated program, emphasizes building drug resistance skills, personal and social competence, and altering cognitive expectancies around substance use (Griffin & Botvin, 2010). Because adolescents must receive consistent messages and reinforcement regarding pressures to use alcohol and drugs, as well as develop effective refusal skills, societal messages about responsible use are emphasized to influence students’ behavior.

SHORT RESPONSE 1 : How may present-day societal messages regarding females roles contribute to the development of eating disorders?

Correct Answer : Societal norms and media’s focus on thinness and attractiveness are partly to blame for weight consciousness among pre-teen girls (Bell & Dittmar, 2011; Nouri, Hill, & OrrellValente, 2011). In addition, normal concerns about weight and appearance can either be reduced or increased by the comments of parents, friends, and romantic partners. The effects of the early parent–child relationship on fundamental biological processes such as eating and growth patterns are of paramount importance (Corning et al., 2010).

2 : Why does dieting sometimes lead to overeating?

Correct Answer : Decreasing caloric intake reduces a person’s metabolic rate, which allows fat to remain in the cells so that weight loss is, in fact, impeded. This failure to lose weight sets the stage for a vicious cycle of increased commitment to dieting and vulnerability to binge eating.Psychological consequences also contribute to this cycle by creating what some researchers call the “false hope syndrome”—an initial commitment to change one’s appearance leads to short-term improvements in mood and self-image, but this hope declines as feelings of failure and loss of control increase (Polivy & Herman, 2005). Loss of control may lead to binge eating, and purging is seen as a way to counteract the perceived effects of binge eating on weight gain.

3 : Why is it often difficult to lose weight?

Correct Answer : In effect, people who gain or lose weight will experience metabolic changes that strive to bring the body back to its natural weight. If fat levels decrease below our body’s normal range, the brain (specifically, the hypothalamus) compensates by slowing metabolism.

We begin to feel lethargic, we increase our sleep, and our body temperature decreases slightly to conserve energy (which is why many persons with anorexia complain of being cold). In this state of relative deprivation, uncontrollable urges to binge are common because our bodies are telling us that they need more food than they are getting to function properly. Similarly, the body fights against weight gain by increasing metabolism and raising body temperature in an effort to burn off extra calories. (Admittedly, this valiant effort is seldom enough to conquer the force of holidays and other feasts.) Because of its responsivity to change, researchers often compare the body’s set point to the setting on a thermostat that regulates room temperature. When room temperature falls below a certain range, the thermostat automatically sends a signal to the heating system to increase the heat level until it again reaches the established temperature setting. Human bodies respond similarly to deviations in body weight by turning their metabolic “furnace” up or down (Wilkin, 2010).

4 : Twelve-month old Dean has been diagnosed with failure to thrive. You have been asked to formulate a general treatment plan. What might you include in your treatment plan and why?

Correct Answer : Because the mother–child relationship during the early stages of attachment is critical, eating disorders shown by infants and young children may be symptomatic of a fundamental problem in this relationship (Lyons-Ruth et al., 2014). Thus, treatment regimens involve a detailed assessment of feeding behavior and parent–child interactions, such as smiling, talking, and soothing, while allowing the parents to play a role in the infant’s recovery (Atalay & McCord, 2011; Linscheid, 2006).

5 : What are some of the danger signals that an individual may have anorexia?

Correct Answer : The refusal to maintain a minimally normal body weight, an intense fear of gaining weight, a significant disturbance in the individual’s perception, and experiences of his or her own size.

6 : Discuss three risks that are associated with infant and early childhood feeding disorders.

Correct Answer : Drive for thinness is a key motivational variable that underlies dieting and body image, among young females in particular, whereby the individual believes that losing more weight is the answer to overcoming her troubles and to achieving success (Philipsen & BrooksGunn, 2008). However, such behavior creates the negative side effects of weight preoccupation, concern with appearance, and restrained eating, which increase the risk of an eating disorder (Touyz, Polivy, & Hay, 2008). Disturbed eating attitudes describe a person’s belief that cultural standards for attractiveness, body image, and social acceptance are closely tied to one’s ability to control diet and weight gain.

7 : Why are eating disorders in infants and young children often considered symptomatic of a problem in the motherchild relationship?

Correct Answer : A prominent controversy concerns the significance of emotional deprivation (lack of love) and malnutrition (lack of food), especially for failure to thrive. Investigators have argued that the infant with FTT, for example, has been deprived of maternal stimulation and love, which results in emotional misery, developmental delays, and eventually, physiological changes. In one study, mothers of infants diagnosed with FTT were found to be more insecurely attached than mothers of normal infants. These mothers also were more passive and confused and either became intensely angry when discussing past and current attachment relationships or dismissed the attachments as unimportant and noninfluential (Benoit, Zeanah, & Barton, 1989). Children who have suffered from FTT as a result of early abuse exhibit poorer outcomes 20 years later than children whose failure to thrive resulted from neglect, lack of parenting, or feeding difficulties (Iwaniec, Sheddon, & Allen, 2003).

8 : Outline and describe the dangers of obesity in children and adolescents.

Correct Answer : Obesity can affect a child’s psychological and physical development significantly. Obese children and adolescents are five times more likely than healthy children to experience an impaired quality of life, similar to children with cancer. Individuals with obesity risk many health concerns, including cardiovascular problems, diabetes, and elevated cholesterol and triglycerides. Obesity in children is a risk factor in the later emergence of eating disorders, and it is strongly correlated with teasing by peers, which leads to dissatisfaction with appearance and body image. Finally, obesity is a major factor in reducing life expectancy in Western society.

9 : Distinguish between anorexia and bulimia, both in terms of their major features as well as their associated characteristics. In what ways are these two eating disorders similar?

Correct Answer : Although the word anorexia literally means “loss of appetite,” that definition is misleading because the person with this disorder rarely suffers appetite loss. Weight loss is accomplished deliberately through a very restricted diet, purging, and/or exercise. Although many persons occasionally use these methods to lose weight, the individual with anorexia intensely fears obesity and pursues thinness relentlessly. The DSM-5 specifies two subtypes of anorexia based on the methods used to limit caloric intake. In the restricting type, individuals seek to lose weight primarily through diet, fasting, or excessive exercise; in the binge ScholarFriends.com

eating/purging type, the individual regularly engages in episodes of binge eating or purging, or both. Compared with persons with bulimia, those with the binge eating/purging type of anorexia eat relatively small amounts of food and commonly purge more consistently and thoroughly. Of the two major forms of eating disorders afflicting adolescents and young adults, bulimia nervosa is far more common than anorexia. The DSM-5 diagnostic criteria listed in Table 14.2 note that the primary hallmark of bulimia is binge eating. Because most of us overeat certain foods at certain times, you may ask, “What exactly is a binge?” As noted in the criteria, a binge is an episode of overeating that must involve (1) an objectively large amount of food (more than most people would eat under the circumstances) and (2) lack of control over what or how much food is eaten. No specific quantity of food constitutes a binge—the context of the behavior that must also be considered. The second important part of the diagnostic criteria involves the individual’s attempts to compensate somehow for a binge. Compensatory behaviors are intended to prevent weight gain following a binge episode and include self-induced vomiting, fasting, exercising, and the misuse of diuretics, laxatives, enemas, or diet pills.

10 : What are the commonalities among males and females who have eating disorders as well as the differences each have regarding body ideals?

Correct Answer : There is increased recognition that eating disorders are more common among young men than was originally believed. Males also are subjected to powerful media images although perhaps not to the same extent as females. The increasingly muscular male body ideal may be contributing to body dissatisfaction, disordered eating, and harmful weight-control or body-building behaviors (Smolak & Stein, 2010). Young men with eating disorders show some of the same clinical features as young women with eating disorders. However, young men show less of a preoccupation with food or a drive for thinness; rather, they want to be more muscular than they actually are and more muscular than the average male body (Olivardia et al., 2004).

In addition, young men and boys are more likely to engage in excessive exercising and overeating, whereas young women and girls are more likely to engage in purging behaviors, to report loss of control while eating, and to try to reduce their caloric intake (von Ranson & Wallace, 2014).

11 : Discuss what is meant in the recent research that indicated that anorexia may not be a culture-bound syndrome and that bulimia may be considered a culture-bound syndrome.

Correct Answer : Anorexia has been observed in Western countries as well as every nonWestern region of the world, suggesting that anorexia may not be a “culture-bound” syndrome as once believed (Sohl, Touyzl, & Surgenor, 2006). It is becoming increasingly clear that eating disorders do not always manifest the same way in different cultures. In Hong Kong, for example, studies suggest that anorexia may be divided into fat-phobic and non-fat-phobic subtypes and that questionnaires used in Western countries to assess eating disorders may not be sufficiently sensitive to detect the Chinese non-fat-phobic subtype (Lee, Lee, & Leung, 1998). However, the cross-cultural evidence for bulimia and BED outside of a Western context tells a different story.

Keel and Klump’s (2003) review of culture and eating disorders found no studies reporting the presence of bulimia in individuals who have not been exposed to Western ideals.

Epidemiological data for bulimia in non-Western nations suggest that bulimia has a lower prevalence than anorexia in these countries, and even when it is found in non-Western nations, it is not found in the absence of Western influence. A meta-analysis examining the role of ethnicity and culture in the development of eating disturbances found few differences across ethnic groups for bulimia (Wildes & Emery, 2001). These findings seem to suggest that bulimia is a culture-bound syndrome, arising predominantly in Western regions of the world or in places where individuals probably or definitely have been exposed to Western ideals and culture (Anderson-Fye, 2009).

12 : Discuss predominant treatments for obesity in children.

Correct Answer : Childhood obesity prevention and intervention efforts focus on the child’s health as well as the family’s resources. Proper nutrition, not necessarily dieting, is recommended by pediatricians. Emphasis on family functioning is critical, as this relates to eating patterns and choices. Efforts to curb childhood obesity often focus on addressing parents’ knowledge of nutrition and increasing children’s physical activity levels.

13 : In what ways may family members contribute to the development of an eating disorder?

Correct Answer : From the very start, researchers and clinicians have placed considerable importance on the role of the family, and parental psychopathology in particular, in considering causes of eating disorders. They have argued that alliances, conflicts, or interactional patterns within a family may play a causal role in the development of eating disorders among some individuals (Minuchin, Rosman, & Baker, 1978). Accordingly, a teen’s eating disorder may be functional in that it directs attention away from basic conflicts in the family to the teen’s more obvious (symptomatic) problem. Evidence has confirmed that families with members who have eating disorders report worse family functioning than control families, although a typical pattern of family dysfunction is not evident (Holtom-Viesel & Allan, 2014).

14 : Describe how cognitivebehavioral therapy might be used to treat an individual with an eating disorder.

Correct Answer : The goals of CBT are to modify abnormal cognitions on the importance of body shape and weight and to replace efforts at dietary restraint and purging with more normal eating and activity patterns (Poulsen et al., 2014; Touyz et al., 2008). CBT for the treatment of bulimia includes several components. Patients are first taught to self-monitor their food intake and bingeing and purging episodes, as well as any thoughts and feelings that trigger these episodes. This is combined with regular weighing; specific recommendations on how to achieve desired goals, such as the introduction of avoided foods and meal planning, designed to normalize eating behavior and curb restrictive dieting; cognitive restructuring aimed at habitual reasoning errors and underlying assumptions relevant to the development and maintenance of the eating disorder; and regular review and revision of these procedures to prevent relapse.

15 : What interventions are used for bulimia, and are they successful?

Correct Answer : As noted, the most effective current therapies for bulimia involve CBT delivered individually or by involving the family unit (Rutherford & Couturier, 2007; Wilson et al., 2007). Cognitive–behavioral therapists change eating behaviors by rewarding or modeling appropriate behaviors, and by helping patients change distorted or rigid thinking patterns that may contribute to their obsession. CBT has become the standard treatment for bulimia, and it forms the theoretical base for much of the treatment for anorexia (Chavez & Insel, 2007). This evidence-based treatment is appropriate for patients whose age does not mandate family therapy and whose symptoms are moderate to severe.
