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

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

• First long-term peer relationship
• Sample of behavioral style with peer
• Does it represent a marker of behavior problems?
• If so, is it more than a marker?

Pitt Mother & Child Project:Follow-Up Schedule
Measurement Strategies
Focus on observation of developmentally salient issues (e.g., maternal responsiveness & infant persistence at age 1, discipline practices at age 2)
Assess in multiple contexts (e.g., home, lab, summer camp, school) with observations of target child interacting with parents, sibs, peers, best friends, and romantic partners
Supplement observations with reports of family,child, and community risk factors using multiplefamily members, peers, best friends, romantic partners, teachers, school and official records
Measures
High Chair Task at 1 yr: Maternal Responsiveness and InfantPersistence
Child Noncompliance at 2 yrs: observed during clean-up task
Behaviorial Inhibition at 2 yrs: In response to distressing gorillasounds
Parenting Practices at 1.5 & 2 yrs: Hostile/Rejecting based on molecular and global ratings during clean-up task
Sibling Conflict at 5 yrs: Verbal and physical conflict between target child and closest-age sib during 1 hour directed play session
Maternal Resources: HOME Acceptance (2 yrs.), Beck Depression Inventory (1.5 to 5 years), General Life Satisfaction (1.5 yrs.), andParenting Daily Hassles (1, 5, 2, & 3.5 yrs.)
Child IQ at 5.5 yrs: 4 subscales of the WPPSI-R
Achenbach CBCL/TRF at 2, 3.5, 5, 6, & 8 yrs: Externalizing, Aggression, and other DSM-based factors

Trajectory Group Differences based on Early ChildhoodRisk Factors
Accounting for all other predictors in early childhood,•Factors that discriminated high increasers from low stable: maternal depression at ages 1.5-3.5 years•Factors that discriminated ‘high decreasing’ group: rejecting parenting and maternal depression
• Functional Imaging• Amygdala reactivity paradigm – angry, fearful, neutral and
surprised faces
• 3T platform– Gradient echo EPI sequence: TR/TE = 2000/25msec– 34 slices = 3 mm thick
• Processed using the GLM of SPM8• Individual contrast images of Faces > Shapes were entered into a second level random effects
models• Extracted individual values for the main effect of task for the cluster and maximum voxel and did
analyses outside of SPM8

Summary of FindingsSummary of FindingsFor boys, child and parenting precursors ofserious antisocial behavior identifiable from 1.5-2 years of age
- Emphasizes the salience of both child behavior and parental response to such behavior in the 2nd year
Factors that compromise parenting also related to persistence of conduct problems - Maternal depression, social support
Implications and challenges for early identification and treatment- Multisystemic approach warranted- not child but dyad at risk
Continued Follow-Up of Sample duringEarlyAdulthood
Continued Follow-Up of Sample duringEarlyAdulthood
• Combine all data collected on youth adjustment and their social environments from birth to through adolescence with genetic data (collected at age 17) and to-be-collected brain function data (at ages 20 and 22) in relation to antisocial behavior and drug use during early adulthood
• Will also allow us to examine potential protective roles of quality of instrumental functioning (e.g., steady employment, higher education) and social relationships (e.g., stable and positive relationship with significant other) during the early 20’s
