The Co-occurrence of Social Adversities in Early Adolescence and Their Relationship to Cognitive Outcomes Later in Development

Опубликована: Июль 3, 2023

Children who experience one type of adversity are likely to several others. Familial adversities in childhood, such as family conflict, found predict poorer cognitive functioning later development. Social adversities, bullying, be salient during adolescence, however research is limited. We investigated adolescents’ social using latent profile analysis and the relationship outcomes Data was analysed from UKHLS (N=493) replicated ALSPAC (N=14,856). Adolescents clustered into four profiles both cohorts: low adversity, peer difficulties, sibling bullying poly-adversity. There were no significant differences between data. In ALSPAC, lower working memory verbal fluency performance adolescents poly-adversity compared profile. The findings demonstrate high incidence multiple different adolescence need for prevention measures.

Making Connections: Neurodevelopmental Changes in Brain Connectivity after Adverse Experiences in Early Adolescence

Опубликована: Окт. 17, 2023

Adverse childhood experiences have been linked to detrimental mental health outcomes in adulthood. This study investigates a potential neurodevelopmental pathway between adversity and outcomes: brain connectivity.This used data from the prospective, longitudinal Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD, N ≈ 12.000, participants aged 9-13, male female) assessed structural connectivity using fractional anisotropy (FA) of white matter tracts. The adverse modelled included family conflict traumatic experiences. K-Means clustering, Latent Basis Growth Models (LBGM), were determine subgroups based on total levels trajectories connectivity. Multinomial regression was associations cluster membership experiences.Results showed that higher associated with FA across tracts (e.g., t(3) = -3.81, β -0.09, pbonf .003) within corpus callosum (CC), Fornix anterior thalamic radiations (ATR).

Perception of social experiences and cortical thickness change together throughout early adolescence: findings from the ABCD cohort

Early adolescence is a dynamic period of social and cortical development amidst rapid hormonal puberty changes. We examined how differences changes in positive experiences thickness co-develop from age 9-11 11-13 years the ABCD cohort (N~12,000). used Bivariate Latent Change Score Models to capture (modelling mean whole-brain thickness) caregiver monitoring, family cohesion, prosocial behaviour, number friends, school engagement, involvement, neighborhood safety). found that decreased between (baseline) (2-year-follow-up), indicating were perceived as less over time. evidence for correlated change, such greater reduction was associated with (est=5.23, SE=1.31, p<.001, standardized coefficient=.08), which did not differ males females early late stages. mixed sex-specific relationships stage experiences.
