▼ Traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors often experience persistent post-concussive symptoms (PCS), including cognitive, affective, and somatic complaints. These symptoms reflect problematic overlap with those of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complicating differential diagnosis and potentially hampering tailoring of treatment. This investigation aims to develop a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) probe of rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC) and other emotion-critical brain regions using a cognitive-affective task the Cued Emotional Counting Stroop modeled after one used in this lab to probe caudal anterior cingulate cortex (cACC) in TBI. Our larger aim is to develop an fMRI probe to differentiate PCS in TBI and PTSD. Four neurologically-normal adults completed an event-related fMRI paradigm using this task, which includes an instructional-cue followed by a stimulus-probe containing pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant words. We predicted cue-related activity in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), emotional probe-related activity in rACC and amygdala, and increased response latency and error rates to emotionally salient words. No significant differences in reaction times (RT) or error-rates by probe-stimulus valence were found. Neuroimaging revealed task-related activity to emotionally salient words in bilateral amygdala and rACC, and frontal activation, including dlPFC, during context maintenance. Results support further exploration of this task as a reliable probe of rACC and cognitive-affective brain circuits important in both PTSD and TBI. Further application to clinical populations, in conjunction with measures of symptomatology, is encouraged. ( en )

▼ Alpha-amylase and cortisol are stress hormones produced via independent stress systems. Following stress, alpha-amylase is released by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), while cortisol is released by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Although the psychoneuroimmunologic (PNI) mechanisms involved in HPA stress responses have been studied in medical populations, less is known about mechanisms of limbic HPA-independent alpha-amylase, particularly in cancer. This study (1) compared salivary alpha-amylase and cortisol levels, and (2) examined stress/anxiety and alpha-amylase relations among women scheduled for surgery for endometrial cancer. Participants included 15 women drawn from a larger study of PNI relations in endometrial cancer. Stress was measured with the Perceived Stress Scale and stress ratings (0 [no stress] to 10 [highest stress possible]) obtained at the time of saliva collection. Anxiety was measured using the Millon Behavioral Medicine Diagnostic and the Structured Interview Guide for the Hamilton Anxiety/Depression Scales. Saliva was collected at 8 AM, 12 PM, 5 PM, and 9 PM the day prior to surgery and assayed using ELISA. A moderate effect size correlation (
r = -.34) emerged between greater 8 AM cortisol and lower 8 AM alpha-amylase. A moderate effect size correlation (
r = .39) also emerged between greater changes in cortisol and greater changes in alpha-amylase per unit time. Furthermore, a large and statistically significant effect size correlation (
r = .58) was revealed between greater 8 AM stress levels and greater 12 PM alpha-amylase. Statistically significant correlations emerged between greater anxiety and less change in alpha-amylase per unit time (
r = -.72, p < .05) and less total diurnal output (
r = -.71, p < .05), a possible pattern of SNS activity blunting. Although based on a small sample, these findings suggest stress/anxiety may be associated with SNS-dependent alpha-amylase in women with cancer. Future research should replicate and expand upon these findings in a larger sample. ( en )

▼ The default mode network (DMN), a group of brain regions implicated in passive thought processes, has been proposed as a potentially informative neural marker to aid in novel treatment development. However, the effect of current analgesics on DMN functional connectivity and its temporal relationship (i.e. functional network connectivity, FNC) with pain-related networks has not been explored, and therefore such research is important to inform whether this network is in fact sensitive to analgesic effects. We examined whether DMN connectivity and FNC with pain-related networks changed under lidocaine in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients. Eleven females with IBS underwent a rectal balloon distension paradigm during fMRI in two conditions (i.e., natural history and lidocaine). Results showed increased DMN connectivity with pain-related regions during natural history and increased within-network connectivity of DMN structures under lidocaine. Further, there was a significantly greater lag time between two networks involved in cognitive and affective processes of pain, comparing lidocaine to natural history. These findings suggest that 1) DMN plasticity is sensitive to analgesic effects and 2) reduced pain ratings via analgesia reflect less DMN functional connectivity with pain-related regions. Findings show potential implications of this network as an approach for understanding clinical pain management techniques. ( en )

▼ African American cultural background has been found to influence parenting style and its effect on child behavioral outcomes such as the development of disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs). As compared to Caucasian mothers, African American mothers place a greater emphasis on respect and compliance, and this authoritarian parenting style has been shown to produce positive outcomes for children. However, very few studies have analyzed cultural differences within a clinical sample of children with DBDs, or employed an observational measure such as the Dyadic Parent-Child Interaction Coding System (DPICS) to study such differences. The DPICS examines parenting-style constructs during three play situations: Child-Led play, Parent-Led play, and Clean-Up, which represent increasing demands on the child. This study compares African American and Caucasian mothers on observational measures of warmth and demandingness, and their preschool children on an observational measure of compliance. It was hypothesized that African American mothers would display higher demandingness across situations, and lower warmth in the Parent-Led play and Clean-Up situations. It was further hypothesized that African American children would display lower rates of non-compliance than Caucasian children. Results with 26 African American and 123 Caucasian mothers found no significant differences in maternal warmth. However, African American mothers were significantly more demanding than Caucasian mothers. Child noncompliance was not found to differ significantly between groups.

▼ Researchers have postulated that youth with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and an internalizing disorder represent a unique subtype of ADHD that has differential treatment and functional outcomes; however, results are inconclusive as researchers have not differentiated types of internalizing disorders. Fifty-nine youth with a diagnosis of solely ADHD (n = 34), ADHD with a mood disorder (n = 15) or ADHD with an anxiety disorder (n = 10) were included. Participants were recruited in a psychological assessment clinic. Parents filled out questionnaires examining their youth’s ADHD symptom severity, quality of life, adaptability, and executive functioning. As part of the assessment, clinicians also provided Global Assessment of Functioning scores for all youth. Multivariate analyses indicated that youth with ADHD and a mood disorder had significantly greater functional impairment across both parent and clinician rated measures compared to youth with ADHD and an anxiety disorder or youth with solely ADHD. This difference in functional impairment maybe the result of anxiety symptoms attenuating ADHD symptoms and subsequently the functional impairment caused by the addition of an Anxiety Disorder diagnosis. Results support an “ADHD-Mood Dysregulation Type” rather than an ADHD and an Internalizing Disorder subtype. ( en )

▼ Mother-child dyads have historically been the focus of treatment for child behavior disorders, but father-child interactions also play an important part in treatment outcome and maintenance. When fathers are involved in treatment with their children, there may be less inter-parental conflict, which is in turn related to less emotional and behavioral problems in children. Having fathers involved also increases maintenance of gains made during treatment. Paternal symptomatology, specifically depression and anxiety,have been correlated with child temperament and maladjustment in children, but little research has been done to examine if these variables predict involvement and engagement in treatment of children with externalizing behavior problems. In this study,fathers of children involved in PCIT (N=56, mean father age: 39 years, 75% Caucasian) reported Anxiety and Depressive Problems on the Adult Self-Report (ASR). These variables were examined as predictors of involvement (total percentage of sessions attended) and engagement (total percentage of homework completion) after controlling for the demographic variables of father age,family SES (as measured by the Hollingshead index), and ethnicity. Results indicated that neither depression nor anxiety significantly predicted attendance or homework completion. SES and ethnicity emerged as significant predictors of fathers’ engagement in treatment but did not predict involvement,such that higher SES and non-minority fathers were more likely to engage in treatment activities. An exploratory analysis found that higher homework completion was a significant predictor of successful treatment completion.Results are discussed in the context of reducing barriers to fathers’ participation in the treatment of children’s disruptive behavior problems.

▼ FAMILY PREDICTORS OF WEIGHT CONTROL BEHAVIORS IN OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE YOUTH By Megan J. Crawford As childhood obesity rates rise, more children experience pressure to lose weight. Oftentimes, weight loss attempts are unsupervised by healthcare professionals, leaving families to make their own decisions about which weight control behaviors to use. Unhealthy weight control behaviors are associated with negative consequences such as weight gain and the risk for developing eating disorders. Research shows that overweight and obese children are more likely to engage in unhealthy weight control behaviors when compared to their healthy peers. However, little data exists to help identify children at risk for engaging in unhealthy weight control behaviors. The current study aims are to: (1) describe the use of weight control behaviors in overweight and obese youth through child and parent report. (2) determine if general family functioning and family mealtime interactions are related to the use of unhealthy and healthy weight control behaviors. Participants were 68 overweight or obese youths, ages 10-17, and their parents attending a regularly scheduled clinic appointment. Families filled out questionnaires regarding weight control behaviors, parent-child conflict, family mealtime interactions, and general family functioning. Children who were older and heavier reported increased use of unhealthy weight control behaviors. While general family functioning was not related to weight control behaviors, children who reported positive family mealtime interactions reported fewer unhealthy weight control behaviors. These data suggest that family interactions specific to mealtime environments are an important factor children?s use of unhealthy weight control behaviors. Future research should focus on further identifying which family interaction patterns are related to both healthy and unhealthy weight control behaviors to develop targets for intervention. ( en )

▼ Peer victimization is a prominent occurrence amongst youth. Previously, peer victimization was generally confined to schoolpremises. Due to technological advances and frequent use of cell phones andinternet by adolescents, peer victimization now defies school boundaries, withsome evidence indicating an increase in the prevalence rates of cybervictimization. Peer victimization in all forms can result in psychosocial andacademic consequences. Youth who are victims of aggression are more likely tobe depressed, anxious, have poorer social functioning, and have a lower gradepoint average compared to youth who are not victimized. Further, perpetratorsare also more likely to have poorer social functioning, poorer schoolattendance, receive suspensions and referrals, and have lower grade pointaverages than non-aggressive peers. Gatheringinformation from multiple sources, such as students and teachers, is beneficialin determining youths’ aggression and victim status. This study gatheredinformation from self and teacher report to address areas in need of furtherattention in the literature, particularly with regards to cyber aggression andvictimization. Prevalence of traditional aggression and victimization washigher compared to cyber aggression and victimization, consistent with findingsin the literature, with little unique cyber peer victimization. While youthreports of traditional and cyber aggression and victimization did not predictsocial functioning, reports of both traditional and cyber victimizationpredicted anxiety symptoms. Moreover, cyber aggression were significantlyrelated to school functioning as measured by GPA and total number ofsuspensions and referrals combined, while traditional victimization and wassignificantly related to GPA. These results indicate that youth who experiencetraditional and cyber victimization are more likely to experience increasedanxiety, as well as poorer school functioning, therefore, anxiety and schoolfunctioning should be addressed when schools are contemplating implementationof peer aggression prevention and intervention efforts. Findings from this study, indicate a higherprevalence of traditional aggression and victimization, as well as significantoverlap between these constructs, suggesting that academic environments shouldcontinue to put forth effort to counteract traditional bullying as this type ofaggression continues to be more prevalent.

▼ Pediatric obesity continues to be a significant public health concern due to high prevalence rates and numerous negative physical and psychosocial outcomes. While prevention and intervention programs encourage youth to make gradual and sensible changes to their eating and physical activity behaviors, overweight and obese children are more likely to engage in disordered eating attitudes and behaviors as compared to their nonoverweight peers. In addition, overweight and obese youth are more likely to experience social problems, such as peer victimization, which is also associated with increased disordered eating attitudes and behaviors. The current study uses the interpersonal model to examine the impact of peer victimization, anxiety/depression, and social skills on disordered eating attitudes and behaviors among overweight youth participating in a behavioral weight management program. It was hypothesized that anxiety/depression would mediate the relationship between peer victimization and disordered eating attitudes and behaviors and that social skills would moderate this relationship. Results indicated that peer victimization was related to disordered eating attitudes and behaviors, but anxiety/depression did not mediate the relationship, nor did social skills act as a moderator. Future research should aim to study this model longitudinally to help better understand the impact of psychosocial factors on disordered eating attitudes and behaviors. ( en )

▼ Research on psychological resilience in adaptation to highly disruptive events, including cancer, has focused on a variety of individual psychosocial factors and less on perceived stress management skills (PSMS). Results of improved psychosocial and health outcomes from Cognitive Behavioral Stress Management interventions (CBSM) in health populations are partially due to changes in perceptions of stress management ability. The current study examined the relationships between PSMS and (a) sleep quality, (b) pain disability, and (c)mood symptoms amongst women with suspected gynecologic cancer. Participants were 25 women (M age = 58.4 yrs, SD = 11.8) who completed measures of perceived stress management skills (MOCS: Measure of Current Status), sleep quality (PSQI: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), pain disability (PDI: Pain Disability Index), depression (BDI-II: Beck Depression Inventory), and anxiety (STAI: State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) during the pre-operative period. Bivariate Pearson correlations revealed no significant relationship between PSMS and sleep disturbance (
r = .12, p = 0.57), pain disability (
r = -.184, p = 0.39) or depression (
r =-.036, p = 0.87). A marginally significant negative correlation with a moderate effect size was found between PSMS and state anxiety (
r = - .342, p = 0.10) and a significant correlation with a large effect size emerged between PSMS and trait anxiety (
r= - .617, p = 0.10). After controlling for relevant demographic variables, PSMS remained a significant independent predictor of trait anxiety(ß = -.502, p = 0.009). Despite the small sample size, the moderate to large effect sizes for the relationships between anxiety and PSMS findings suggest that while anxiety is a common experience in the pre-operative period,women with lower PSMS may be especially vulnerable to elevated trait anxiety. Patients with low PSMS may experience greater benefit from CBSM interventions which target the augmentation of PSMSskills. Future research should attempt to replicate these relationships in a larger sample, while evaluating the stability and impact of PSMS on psychosocial and health outcomes throughout the peri-operative period.

▼ Attention deficits are among the most commonly reported symptoms following traumatic brain injury (TBI) and are pervasive across all injury severity levels. While attention is postulated to be asymmetrically represented within the brain, little is known about the mechanisms underlying this purported imbalance and the efficiency of neural subsystems following disruption. The present study examined the impact of TBI on the hemispheric integrity of three interacting networks of attention – alerting, orienting, and executive control. High density scalp-recorded brain event-related potentials (ERPs) were acquired while 12 moderate-to-severe TBI and 12 neurologically-normal, demographically-matched control participants performed the Lateralized Attention Network Test (LANT). Behaviorally, no group differences were found in reaction time benefit from temporal or spatial cueing; however, TBI survivors demonstrated significant hemispheric differences for the orienting component of attention such that less benefit was derived from left spatial cues. Corresponding to behavioral findings, ERP data revealed decreased N1 amplitude recorded over right parietal brain regions in TBI participants during leftward shifts of attention, reflecting reduced efficiency of the left orienting network. Finally, TBI participants had significantly greater difficulty utilizing spatial cues to overcome conflict created by incongruent targets than controls, suggesting inefficient communication between the orienting and executive control subsystems. Findings indicate that right hemispheric N1 reduction may be a neural marker of alterations of the orienting system following TBI, and decreased efficiency in communication between attentional networks may occur post injury. Discussion focuses on strategies to overcome orienting deficits and enhance executive functioning within the context of cognitive rehabilitation settings. ( en )

▼ Parent behavior management training programs such as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) have been shown to reduce the frequency of disruptive behavior problems in pre-school age children. Research examining these parent training programs suggests that child variables such as initial behavior problems severity, demographic characteristics, and comorbid internalizing disorders may serve as predictors of treatment outcome. Few studies have related such child variables to the speed of therapeutic gains within parent training programs.

▼ Anti-epileptic drugs(AEDs) are the first line of treatment in pediatric epilepsy and successfully prevent seizure recurrence in the majority of patients. However, several of these medications have been linked to increased growth velocity, which increases risk for a range of medical and psychosocial comorbidities. The pathophysiology of changing growth status is unknown, but theories include increased appetite, reduced metabolism, and increased fatigue. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the role of dietary intake and physical activity, the behavioral proxies of appetite and fatigue, in weight status change among children taking AEDs. Depression and quality of life were also assessed. Participants included 49 youth, ages 8-17, and their parent/legal guardian who were assessed at baseline and 4-6 month follow-up. Children on weight-positive AEDs were compared to those taking weight-negative, neutral, or no AEDs. Due to group size imbalance, 7 cases in each group (14 participants total) were matched on age, race, and gender and comprised the final sample for analysis. No differences emerged in weight status, dietary intake, physical activity, or depressive symptoms between groups at baseline or over time. Those taking weight-positive AEDs had significantly lower quality of life at baseline compared to those not on weight-positive AEDs. Across all participants at baseline, there were non-significant trends between higher weight status andhigher levels of depressive symptoms, and higher weight status and betterquality of life. The results of this study are consistent with previous research showing that children with epilepsy are at greater risk for being overweight/obese and having a lower quality of life than the general population. Further research with larger sample sizes targeting children at diagnosis is needed to elucidate the role of dietary intake and physical activity in AED induced weight gain. ( en )

▼ Childhood obesity rates have been on the rise in recent decades, and the toxic obesogenic environment has been indicated to play a significant role (Egger & Swinburn, 1997; Ogden, Carroll, Kit, & Flegal, 2012). Currently, there is limited understanding of the impact of the built environment and child health behaviors (i.e. dietary intake and physical activity), weight status, and quality of life in rural areas. Yet, children from rural areas are disproportionately overweight and obese compared to their urban and suburban counterparts (Tai-Seale & Chandler, 2010). This study included 269 overweight or obese rural youth between ages 8 and 12. Using state-of-the-art Geographic Information Systems (GIS) population density, number of parks and recreational facilities, number of prepared food stores (i.e. restaurants and convenience stores), and number of unprepared food stores (i.e. grocery stores, chain supermarkets, farmers markets) was measured within one, five, and ten mile buffers around each child’s home. Children living in a census tract with lower population density, as well as those who had more parks and recreational facilities within 10 miles of their home, had a lower BMI z-score. No relationship was found among the built environment variables and child dietary intake, physical activity, or quality of life. Population density, parks and recreational facilities, unprepared food stores, and prepared food stores were also compiled into an obesogenic rurality index in order to determine their joint effect on child health behaviors and weight status. However the obesogenic rurality index, showed no clinically significant association with child health behaviors or weight status. For rural families, there is some evidence that living in a rural census tract with lower population density, as well as increasing access to parks and recreational facilities may be beneficial. Yet, the effect sizes of these relationships are small, and more research regarding how children interact with their environment to improve health is warranted. ( en )

▼ Rural communities in the U.S. have higher rates of obesity compared to the general population, and several studies have suggested that rural households have limited access to healthy foods. However, little research attention has been given to the contribution of the home food environment to dietary intake and weight in rural areas. The current study examined the influence of foods in the home on dietary intake and body weight in a sample of obese adults enrolled in a lifestyle intervention. The participants were 166 obese women from rural counties (M±SD, age = 59.7±6.2 years, BMI = 36.5±4.8 kg/m2). During the intervention, participants were encouraged to make changes to their dietary intake. At baseline, height was determined using a stadiometer. At baseline and Month 6, weight was measured with a balance beam scale, and the home food environment and dietary composition were assessed using the Family Eating and Activity Habits Questionnaire and the Block Food Frequency Questionnaire, respectively. At baseline, the home food environment was not associated with BMI (p = .808). However, at Month 6, the home food environment was associated with BMI (
r = -.16, p = .039). The mediating role of saturated fat, carbohydrates, protein and fiber was examined. Results showed that consumption of saturated fat significantly mediated the relationship between the food environment and BMI (95% CI [-.24, -.01], p < .05). These findings suggest that modifying the home environment by decreasing the presence of high-fat foods may support weight loss in obese individuals from rural communities. ( en )

▼ Personality traits, such as low Neuroticism, high Extraversion, and high Openness to Experience, are characteristic of individuals who can positively adapt in the face of adversity. Among individuals with cancer, these traits are associated with better mood, higher quality of life (QOL), and lower pain. However, few studies have examined personality as a predictor of biopsychosocial outcomes in gynecologic cancers. This study examined relations between personality and (a)perceived stress/mood, (b)pain/cancer-related QOL, and (c)cortisol among women undergoing surgery for endometrial cancer (EC). Fifty-one women (Age M=61.25yrs, SD=9.02yrs)with EC completed measures of personality, stress/mood, pain/QOL, and collected salivary cortisol samples at pre- and post-operative time points. Data was analyzed using multiple hierarchical regressions. As expected, greater Neuroticism was associated with negative outcomes such as higher perceived stress (Preop ß=.43, p

r=.35, p=.021), and less post-operative perceived pain severity (
r=-.27, p=.08) and pain interference (
r=-.34, p=.035), but was also associated with higher anxiety (Preop

Although based on a small sample, these findings support the hypothesis that personality traits,particularly Neuroticism, may predict some peri-operative biopsychosocial outcomes in women with EC. Future research should examine whether interventions modifying cognitions/behaviors among individuals with high Neuroticism can promote more positive perisurgical outcomes among women with endometrial cancer.

▼ The rising rates of childhood overweight and obesity is of great health concern given the associated increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, CVD, and impaired Quality of Life (QOL) compared to normal-weight peers. Researchers have made a ?fit and fat? argument, suggesting that obese adults who are more active and fit report higher QOL due to improved physical functioning and health compared to those who are less active or fit. Currently, there is mixed evidence about the role physical activity plays in predicting QOL in children and a dearth of research on physical fitness. The current study examined: (1) the relation between weight status, physical fitness and activity, (2) the relation between weight status and child-reported QOL, (3) the relation between physical activity and fitness with QOL, and (4) physical activity and fitness as moderators between weight status and QOL.

▼ Following the Persian Gulf War, approximately one third of the returning veterans developed mutlisymptom complaints that defied known medical diagnoses. Three unique syndromes were identified: Haley Syndromes 1 (HS1), 2 (HS2), and 3 (HS3). HS2 veterans, the most cognitively and functionally impaired, have damage to specific sub-cortical brain structures when compared to healthy veterans. Pathology in sub-cortical structures is associated with behavioral deficits in verbal executive functions. Using neuropsychological testing and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) this study assessed verbal executive functions as well as their neural activity correlates in forty-four veterans from three syndrome groups and a healthy deployed veteran group. Although behavioral differences in verbal executive functions were identified with HS1 and Healthy veteran groups outperforming HS2 and HS3 veterans, our study did not find significant differences in brain activity between groups. These results suggest future research should continue to focus on sub-cortical processes in this population. ( en )

▼ When pictures of natural scenes are viewed, they first prompt a brief, reflexive, parasympathetic constriction of the pupil, varying in amplitude with the brightness of the image. When the scene is emotionally arousing, reflex constriction is followed by enhanced, sympathetically mediated pupil dilation. The present research was designed to determine whether the initial light reflex itself might also be modulated by emotion. Erotic, violent, and neutral scenes were presented in both natural and scrambled versions, which were identical in brightness. Significantly less initial constriction was found when participants viewed emotional, relative to neutral, natural scenes, with no differences in pupil size as a function or original content when viewing the scrambled versions. Thus, viewing emotionally evocative images modulates both early and late changes in pupil diameter that are not due to differences in brightness, suggesting early central inhibition of the parasympathetically-mediated light reflex.

▼ Psychosocial factors have previously been linked with survival and mortality in cancer populations. Research suggests that quality of life, social support, and coping in the pre-surgical period are related to better health outcomes and survival while depression and life stress are associated with mortality across several cancer types. Little evidence is available about the influence of these factors on outcomes in gynecologic cancer populations, particularly endometrial cancer, the 4th most common cancer among women. This study examines the relationship between several psychosocial factors at the pre-surgical period and survival and all-cause mortality in women with endometrial cancer. Participants were 76 women (M age=60.28 yrs, SD age=9.39 yrs) who were diagnosed with Stages I-III endometrial cancer and subsequently underwent surgery. Of this sample, 17 women have died and the remaining 59 have reached 4-5 year survival since diagnosis. In a Cox survival analysis, controlling for tumor stage and age, known biomedical prognostic factors, an active coping style assessed by the Brief COPE (M = 8.78, SD = 2.27) was significantly associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality, Hazard Ratio (HR)=0.77, p=.03. Depression, life stress, self-distraction, emotional support, and quality of life in the preoperative period were not significantly associated with survival or all-cause mortality 4-5 years following diagnosis. The active coping finding lends support to the hypothesis that, among women with endometrial cancer, coping strategies may be predictive of survival outcomes. Future research should attempt to replicate these relationships in a larger and more representative sample. ( en )

▼ The role of physical activity in the management of obesity represents an area of debate. Concerns center on (a) whether obese individuals can achieve the amounts of moderate intensity activity necessary to affect weight loss and (b) whether high intensity activity might result in an increase in compensatory sedentary behavior. This study examined these issues in the context of a weight-loss program for obese individuals in rural communities. Participants were 181 adults with a mean + or - SD age of 53.8 + or - 10.5 years and body mass index of 35.6 + or - 3.3 kg/m2. Body weights were measured with a digital scale at baseline and after 6 months of weight management training. The program focused on reducing caloric intake and increasing physical activity. Physical activity was assessed over two 7-day periods during Months 0 and 6 with an electronic device that calculates energy expenditure using triaxial accelerometry, galvanic skin response, skin temperature, and heat flux (SenseWear WMS Armband). Participants lost an average of 10.0% body weight over the course of the 6-month period (SD = 6.39). They increased physical activity of moderate intensity or greater by an average of 50.8 minutes per week (SD = 189.2). Increases in moderate intensity activity were associated with decreases in body weight, beta = -.197, t(172) = -2.72, p = .007. Similarly, increasing high intensity activity was associated with weight loss, beta = -.210, t(172) = -2.91, p = .004, and there was no evidence that participants compensated for engaging in high intensity activity by increasing sedentary behavior at month 0 or month 6 (p = .853 and p = .075, respectively). Increasing moderate and high intensity physical activity were associated with weight loss and high intensity activity did not trigger compensatory sedentary behavior, thus increasing the intensity of physical activity may have a role in weight management lifestyle interventions.

▼ Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common psychological disorders of childhood. As such, determining empirically supported assessment procedures for diagnosing ADHD is an important research goal. Current guidelines highlight the necessity of including multiple informants and settings in the assessment process. While multiple methods (e.g. paper and pencil questionnaires, computerized measures of attention) are also commonly used by psychologists as they conduct ADHD evaluations, there is little research concerning the incremental validity of various methods. In order to examine this issue, the current study evaluated the degree to which clinic-based measures of child behavior (in this case, clinician ratings of child behavior during testing and child performance on a computerized measure of attention) predicted functional impairment above and beyond parent and teacher ratings of ADHD. The study also considered the impact of oppositional and defiant symptoms, which make up the most commonly occurring comorbid condition with ADHD. Participants included a sample of 27 children who met diagnostic criteria for ADHD. Correlational analyses revealed that parent and teacher ratings of ADHD and oppositional symptoms were strongly related to parent and teacher ratings of impairment, respectively. Clinic-based measures of ADHD behavior were mildly to moderately associated with impairment indices. Bivariate correlations also revealed that clinician ratings were significantly associated with age, parent ratings of hyperactivity/impulsivity, and oppositional/defiant symptoms. Computerized attention (CPT) scores were significantly associated with age and moderately associated with teacher ratings of hyperactivity/impulsivity at a level that approached significance. According to hierarchical regression analyses, neither clinician ratings of behavior during testing nor the CPT composite added a significant increment to the prediction of impairment above and beyond ADHD ratings. Interestingly, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) symptoms explained a high degree of variance in impairment, in some cases greater than ADHD symptoms. The current findings support the notion that clinicians should rely heavily on symptom checklists as cost and time-efficient means of diagnosing ADHD. The outcome of this and other studies question the ecological validity of measures of clinic-based behavior. Taken together, the results call for a strong reliance on assessment measures and methods that tap the child?s everyday attention, impulsivity and activity level. ( en )

▼ Parent-Report Mania Rating Scales in an ADHD Population Rates of diagnosed bipolar disorder in children and adolescents have significantly increased over the past decade. It has been argued that pediatric bipolar disorder is currently being overdiagnosed. It is speculated that symptom overlap between childhood bipolar disorder to conditions such as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), and depression may be one cause for this rise in pediatric bipolar disorder diagnoses. Given the increased rate of bipolar disorder diagnoses, research has focused on developing mania rating scales to serve as screeners for this disorder. The present study sought to examine five parent-report mania rating scales with four groups; a control group, ADHD-only group, ADHD with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) group, and ADHD with depression group. The purpose of the study was to examine the mania rating scales diagnostic utilities in clinical groups where ADHD with comorbid ODD and depression are common. Results of the study indicate that children with both ADHD and ODD tend to score much higher on mania rating scales than children with ADHD only or ADHD with depression. There was almost no difference between published means for bipolar disorder and means for the three ADHD groups in the current study. This suggests that these scales may not discriminate very well between children with bipolar disorder and children with ADHD, particularly ADHD with ODD. Additionally, a significant proportion of participants, especially children with both ADHD and ODD, met established cutoff criteria for probable bipolar disorder diagnoses. No scale appeared to significantly outperform any other scale in terms of its ability to discriminate between groups. There also did not appear to be a significant difference between children with ADHD only and ADHD with depression on their scores on the mania rating scales. Given the results of this study, these scales should be cautiously used as screeners only to identify individuals for whom further assessment of bipolar disorder is warranted. Future research should replicate the present study with a larger sample in order to bolster the generalizability of the findings and perform analyses based on age, ADHD subtype, and depression diagnoses.

▼ Syllogistic reasoning (SR) involves using already learned information to solve logical arguments (
Florida is south of Georgia, Georgia is south of Tennessee, therefore
Florida is south of Tennessee). Transitive inference (TI) involves solving problems using newly learned associations (e.g. A>B, B>C, therefore inference yields A>C). The processes underlying these reasoning strategies have been linked to the temporal lobe. This is the first study to examine the clinical utility of the TI and SR tasks in differentiating dementia sub-types. Participants were previously diagnoses with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer?s disease (AD), Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) or as healthy controls. On the TI task, participants with any degree of cognitive impairment performed worse than controls. On the SR task, participants diagnosed with dementia performed worse than the MCI or control groups. These findings suggest that TI and SR tasks are sensitive to temporal lobe dysfunction and may provide additional information during dementia diagnosis. ( en )

▼ Most obese individuals are motivated to lose weight to improve their physical appearance. Some theorists posit that failure to achieve substantial progress towards this objective may lead to abandonment of changes to diet and physical activity and ultimately to weight regain. We examined these propositions in the context of an 18-month randomized trial of obesity treatment. We hypothesized that a) body image dissatisfaction at pretreatment would be associated with higher levels of desired weight loss, b) decreases in desired amounts of weight loss during initial treatment would be associated with improved weight maintenance during follow-up, and c) self-rated improvements in physical appearance at posttreatment would be inversely associated with weight regain during follow-up. Participants were 298 obese women (M plus or minus SD, age = 59 plus or minus 6 [range = 50 to 75], BMI = 37 plus or minus 5 [range = 29 to 51]). Results indicated that higher levels of body image dissatisfaction were associated with higher amounts of desired weight loss at pretreatment (
r = .29, p < .01). Contrary to our hypothesis, we also found no association between changes in desired amounts of weight loss during initial treatment and weight regain during follow-up (
r = .00, p = 0.98). Similarly, self-rated improvements in physical appearance at posttreatment were not associated with weight regain at follow-up (
r = -.14, p = .30). Collectively, these findings suggest that while body image dissatisfaction may be related to desired weight loss, neither change in desired amounts of weight loss nor improvements in physical appearance are associated with the regaining of lost weight. ( en )

▼ CROSS-RACIAL MEASURMENT EQUIVALENCE OF THE EYBERG CHILD BEHAVIOR INVENTORY FACTORS AMONG YOUNG AFRICAN AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN AMERICAN CHILDREN Use of behavior rating scales is the most common method for treatment screening and for evaluating treatment outcome among young children. A number of rating scales available to screen and assess treatment outcome among young children for behavior problems have strong psychometric properties; however, the psychometric properties have been established in studies with primarily European American children and may not be equivalent when the scales are administered to different racial/ethnic groups. The term measurement equivalence refers to the extent to which the psychometric properties of an instrument are similar across groups. The use of nonequivalent rating scales is problematic if used to screen children from diverse samples that include both racial/ethnic minorities and European Americans. Nonequivalent rating scales are also problematic if used to compare treatment outcomes between different racial/ethnic groups. This study examined the cross- racial measurement equivalence of a behavior rating scale commonly used in screening and evaluating treatment outcomes, the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI). Specifically, this study examined measurement equivalence of the three subscales of the ECBI Intensity Scale (Oppositional Defiant Behavior, Attention Difficulties, and Conduct Problems) between low-income African American and European American children ages 3 to 6 years. Discriminative and convergent validity of the ECBI Intensity Scale subscales with 4- to 6-year-old European American and African American children were examined. Results supported the configural, metric, and scalar invariance of the ECBI Intensity Scale factors between African Americans and European Americans. Furthermore, evidence was found for convergent validity of the Intensity Scale factors with CBCL subscales separately for both racial groups. We failed to find evidence for the discriminant validity of the Intensity Scale factors with the CBCL Anxious/Depressed subscale for either group. Implications of this study for screening and evaluating treatment outcomes of young low-income African American and European American children are discussed. ( en )

▼ Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an empirically-supported treatment for young children with disruptive behavior disorders and associated difficulties. The behavior problems associated with these disorders frequently impair functioning in more than one setting, making it desirable that treatment programs be designed to address problems both in the home and in the classroom. Although generalization of PCIT treatment effects from the clinic to the home are well established, studies examining generalization to the classroom are limited. The present investigation evaluated the generalization of PCIT treatment effects to the classroom using teacher-report and observational measures in a sample of 67 elementary school-aged children (Mean age = 4.45 years) diagnosed with ADHD-only (n=19), ODD-only (n=21), or comorbid ADHD/ODD (n=27). Scores obtained from teacher-report and observational measures were used to evaluate generalization for the entire sample of children, as well as differential generalization between diagnostic groups. Pre- to posttreatment changes in the percentage of observed inappropriate behaviors in the classroom were found for the total sample; however, no other changes were found on other teacher report or direct observation measures either for the entire sample or within the three different diagnostic groups. Although these findings provide some indication of treatment generalization, additional strategies targeted towards reducing disruptive behavior in the classroom may be necessary to maximize generalized effects.

▼ Obese individuals who lose weight commonly show improvements in their LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) and total cholesterol (TC), risk factors for heart disease. It remains unclear whether improvements are due to weight loss, dietary change, or both. In the current study, we hypothesized that change in BMI would predict change in LDL-C and TC, and that change in reported saturated and total fat intake would add to the explained variance. We examined this with separate hierarchical regressions, with change in BMI (block one) and self-reported fat intake (block two) as the predictor variables and change in LDL-C or TC as the dependent variables. Additional regressions were conducted for changes during a period of weight loss (i.e., Month 0 to Month 6), and a period of extended care (i.e., Month 6 to Month 18). The sample included 232 obese women from rural communities (mean±SD, age=59.8±6.3 years, BMI=36.8±4.8 kg/m2). At baseline, Month 6 and 18, height and weight were measured, blood lipids were analyzed, and dietary intake was assessed. From Month 0 to Month 6, a reduction in BMI predicted improvements in LDL-C and TC, while reductions in fat intake were not associated with these changes. During Month 6 to Month 18, neither change in BMI nor change in fat intake predicted changes in LDL-C and TC. These results suggest that the beneficial impact of a lifestyle intervention on serum cholesterol is more closely related to weight loss and that these improvements may be limited to periods in which an individual is losing weight.

▼ Multiple efforts have been developed to address the pediatric obesity epidemic in the U.S., one of the most promising being behavioral family interventions. Higher attendance has been found to be related to a variety of positive outcomes, though many programs report experiencing less than optimal session attendance. There is little research on predictors of attendance in these programs, especially in effectiveness studies. The purpose of the current study is to determine variables that predict attendance in a pediatric family-based weight management program. Potential predictors examined in this study include demographic factors, child and parent weight status, distance from families' homes to the treatment site, child and parent motivation to develop healthier habits, as well as child and parent reasons for joining the program. Participants were 124 children, ages 8-12, and their parents, enrolled in a behavioral family weight management intervention. Participants' height and weight was collected, and questionnaires were completed. Average attendance was 7.63 of the 12 core sessions. Demographics and weight status were not significantly related to attendance. Distance to treatment site was inversely related to attendance. There was an inverse association between children's motivation and attendance. Parents who listed their weight loss as one of their top three reasons for joining the program attended more sessions than those that did not list this as one of their top reasons for joining. The current study provides information that can inform future intervention and retention efforts. Given that distance is a barrier to some families, greater efforts to develop Internet and telehealth interventions could be beneficial. Moreover, it may be important for these programs to address parents' desires to lose weight, as well as emphasize other benefits to the programs besides weight loss (e.g., fitness, health). Future directions should focus on other predictors of attendance, including individual families' barriers to attendance, as well as children's psychosocial functioning, family functioning, and parent stress.
