“…The mean dissatisfaction score was used. The MAT demonstrates adequate internal consistency; for instance, Grych, Harold, and Miles (2003) reported alphas of .83 and .84. The MAT reliably discriminates distressed from nondistressed couples (Grych et al, 2003;Lawrence & Bradbury, 2001) and is prospectively associated with physical aggression between partners (Lawrence & Bradbury, 2001).…”

Despite important clinical and nosological implications, the comorbidity of oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) has received little attention. A clinicbased sample of 243 boys (ages 6-10 years), their parents, and teachers participated in an evaluation that involved assessments of behavioral, academic, and family functioning. ODD and GAD symptom groups were defined using various combinations of mother and teacher reports. ODD symptom groups were associated with conduct disorder symptoms, and GAD symptom groups with major depressive disorder symptoms, regardless of rater. Attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms were associated with ODD and GAD symptom groups; however, covarying ADHD symptoms altered few findings. The ODD+GAD symptom groups were associated with higher rates of co-occurring symptoms and risk factors within (sourcespecific syndromes) and across (cross-informant comorbidity) informants.Although comorbidity is more the rule than the exception among child emotional and behavioral disorders (Angold, Costello, & Erkanli, 1999;Lilienfeld, 2003), the cooccurrence of oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) has received relatively little attention in spite of the fact that ODD likely alters the course, correlates, and treatment response for children with GAD (Flannery-Schroeder, Suveg, Safford, Kendall, & Webb, 2004;Garland & Garland, 2001;Kendall, Panichelli-Mindel, Sugarman, & Callahan, 1997). For instance, oppositional behavior in the context of an anxiety disorder may lead to reluctance to engage in exposures and comply with treatment. In addition, parents of children with anxiety disorders report that their children's oppositional behavior is particularly difficult to manage (Garland & Garland, 2001). Unfortunately, research to date generally has examined overanxious disorder, which was replaced by GAD in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.[DSM-IV]; American Psychiatric Association, 1994), and/or has combined multiple anxiety or disruptive behavior disorders (for reviews, see Angold et al., 1999;Russo & Beidel, 1994), which obscures specific relations between ODD and GAD.

“…Although only experimental research can unambiguously address questions of cause and effect, longitudinal correlational designs can investigate whether changes in one variable predict changes in another variable and can test hypotheses representing different causal relations between variables (Grych, Harold, & Miles, 2003). The theoretical model proposed in Figure 1 explicitly hypothesizes that early childhood adversity and genetic factors act as precursors to disruptions in neurobiological, cognitive and emotional functioning which, through a bidirectional interplay, transfer effects to disruptive behaviors.…”

Children with persistent antisocial and aggressive behavior are diagnosed as having disruptive behavior disorder. The authors review evidence that antisocial children, and especially those who persist with this behavior as they grow older, have a range of neurobiological characteristics. It is argued that serotonergic functioning and stress-regulating mechanisms are important in explaining individual differences in antisocial behavior. Moreover, low fear of punishment and physiological underactivity may predispose antisocial individuals to seek out stimulation or take risks and may help to explain poor conditioning and socialization. The authors propose a theoretical model highlighting the interplay between neurobiological deficits and cognitive and emotional functioning as mediators of the link between early adversity and antisocial behavior problems in childhood. Implications for intervention programs are discussed.

“…Estudos mais recentes apontam a percepção de ameaça e a percepção de culpa que a criança desenvolve a partir do conflito entre os pais como mediadores da associação entre o conflito interparental e o ajustamento psicossocial nas crianças e adolescentes (Grych, Fincham, Jouriles & McDonald, 2000;Grych, Harold & Miles, 2003;McDonald & Grych, 2006). Assim, a experiência de uma grande ameaça e medo aquando do conflito entre os pais pode aumentar o risco do aparecimento de sintomas de ansiedade, de depressão, de tristeza e de outras problemáticas internalizadas nas crianças (Dadds, Atkinson, Turner, Blums & Lendich, 1999;Grych & Cardoza-Fernandes, 2001;Grych et al, 2000;Grych et al, 2003;Kerig, 1998;McDonald & Grych, 2006). Por outro lado, a autoculpabilização da criança sobre a existência de conflito entre os pais pode potenciar o desenvolvimento de problemáticas externalizadas (agressividade e comporta-mento anti-social) (Grych et al, 2003) e de problemáticas internalizadas (tristeza, culpa e vergonha) (Dadds et al, 1999;Grych et al, 2000;Grych et al, 2003;Kerig, 1998;McDonald & Grych, 2006).…”

O conflito interparental pode igualmente afectar negativamente as relações de vinculação estabelecidas entre os filhos e os pais, pois aumenta o número de interacções negativas ocorridas entre eles e diminui drasticamente o envolvimento e a disponibilidade emocional das figuras parentais para com as suas crianças.…”

Este estudo pretendeu identificar variações na qualidade da vinculação aos pais em função da estrutura familiar (famílias intactas e divorciadas) e do conflito interparental, tendo sido igualmente analisadas as diferenças de género do adolescente e das figuras parentais. Deste estudo fizeram parte 310 jovens dos 14 aos 18 anos de idade de ambos os géneros. Os questionários utilizados foram o Questionário de Vinculação ao Pai e à Mãe (QVPM; Matos & Costa, 2001, versão revista) e o The Children’s Perception of Interparental Conflict Scale (CPIC; Grych, Seid & Fincham, 1992). Ambos os instrumentos revelaram ter qualidades psicométricas adequadas, testadas a partir de análises factoriais confirmatórias e da consistência interna. Os resultados apontam para o facto de a situação de divórcio afectar mais o relacionamento do jovem com a figura paterna, enquanto que o conflito interparental surge como a variável mais preditora da vinculação aos pais, afectando a qualidade do laço emocional relativamente a ambas as figuras parentais, independentemente da estrutura familiar.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v22i1.341
