“…Rates of depression, anxiety, substance use, and delinquency begin to rise in earnest during early adolescence and rates continue to climb throughout the second decade of life (e.g., Childs, Sullivan, & Gulledge, ; Salk, Petersen, Abramson, & Hyde, ). These increases co‐occur with rising levels of stress across this developmental period, especially stressors arising from enhanced sensitivity to interpersonal relationships.…”

Understanding co‐activation patterns of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal axis (HPA) and sympathetic adrenal medullary (SAM) during early adolescence may illuminate risk for development of internalizing and externalizing problems. The present study advances empirical work on the topic by examining SAM‐HPA co‐activation during both the reactivity and recovery phases of the stress response following acute stress exposure. Fourth and fifth grade boys and girls (N = 149) provided cortisol and alpha‐amylase via saliva at seven times throughout a 95‐min assessment in which they were administered the modified Trier Social Stress Test. Parents reported on adolescents’ life stress, pubertal development, medication use, and externalizing problems. Adolescents reported their own internalizing symptoms. Multiple linear regressions tested both direct and interactive effects of SAM and HPA reactivity and recovery on internalizing and externalizing problems. Results from these analyses showed that whereas SAM and HPA reactivity interacted to predict internalizing symptoms, it was their interaction during the recovery phase that predicted externalizing. Concurrent high SAM and HPA reactivity scores predicted high levels of internalizing and concurrently low SAM and HPA recovery scores predicted high levels of externalizing. Implications of the findings for further study and clinical application are discussed.

“…However, many of the existing multi--wave studies do not share the primary goals of correctional psychology. In particular, the criminology literature often conducts longitudinal research with (a) non--offender juvenile populations, in order to identify the correlates of delinquency onset (e.g., Chen, 2010;Childs, Sullivan, & Gulledge, 2011) or (b) juvenile offenders, in order to describe the developmental differences between normative, rule--breaking adolescents and long--term, serious offenders (e.g., Cardwell et al, 2015;Shulman, Cauffman, Piquero, & Fagan, 2011). In addition, the longitudinal literature has often focused on patterns of criminal behavior across many years or decades (e.g., Kazemian, Farrington, & Le Blanc, 2009;Monahan & Piquero, 2009), with specific attention to patterns of onset, escalation, and cessation of crime (see Piquero, 2008, for a review).…”

Can a Dynamic Risk Instrument Make Short-Term Predictions in "Real Time"? Developing a Framework for Testing Proximal Assessment of Offender Recidivism Risk During Re-entry

Correctional psychologists have classified risk factors for criminal recidivism into static (non--changing, non--improving) and dynamic (theoretically changeable) domains. By definition, a dynamic risk factor is a variable that can change across time, and as it changes, offenders' likelihood of recidivism must logically change in This dissertation is organized to allow readers to focus their attention on the goals relevant to their interests. Chapter 1 reviews prior literature on dynamic risk, and describes the theoretical reasons why repeatedly measuring dynamic variables should enhance decision--making within correctional supervision. Chapter 2 addresses the statistical modeling of re--assessment data by (a) describing a researcher's choice of statistical models when attempting to analyze re--assessment data, and (b) introducing the features of the Cox regression model with time--varying predictors. Chapter 3 describes the dataset used within this dissertation, as well as the measurement and procedures of the study from which the dataset was drawn.The remaining chapters address whether it is meaningful for an agency to continually re--assess offenders with a purportedly dynamic risk measure. Chapter 4 describes the initial descriptive results of the re--assessment data, and presents the basic prediction models using Cox regression with time--varying predictors. Chapter 5 specifically addresses model--building strategies for testing the hypothesis that distal assessments (i.e., initial baseline scores) will demonstrate weaker predictive validity compared to models that include more proximal assessments (i.e., re-assessments).In conclusion, Chapter 6 provides a general discussion of the results drawn from the analyses, comments on the implications of the findings, and proposes some directions for future research. Chapter 1: Theory, Literature, and HypothesisVariables that are statistically associated with future criminal offending are termed risk factors, and the assessment of an individual's risk factors plays a critical hypothesized schemas (Simons & Burt, 2011). In turn, the schemas were related to interpretations of situations (perceived provocations and opportunities), and these interpretations were directly related to criminal delinquency . Further, Simons and Barr (2014) demonstrated that delinquents who engaged in high--quality romantic relationships in young adulthood simultaneously reduced their criminal behavior, and that simultaneous changes in social schemas could account for approximately one--third of the partnership--crime reduction effect. In summary, this set of research suggests that background features indirectly influence all stages of criminal involvement (onset, repeat offending, and cessation) through social schemas (pro--crime perspectives), which directly impact criminal action, if they are accessible to the individual in an immediate situation.

“…Selon le syndrome général de déviance (Donovan et Jessor, 1985 ;Jessor, 1998 ;Jessor et Jessor, 1977), l'implication dans un comportement déviant augmente les probabilités d'adopter d'autres comportements déviants. Ceux-ci partagent des liens prospectifs et concomitants (Childs, Sullivan et Gulledge, 2011 ;Wanner, Vitaro, Carbonneau et Tremblay, 2009 ;Welte, Barnes et Hoffman, 2004).…”

La consommation de substances psychoactives (SPA) et la participation à des jeux de hasard et d’argent (JHA) font partie des conduites à risque à l’adolescence. Certaines études montrent que le fait de jouer à des JHA et celui d’éprouver des problèmes de JHA sont associés aux problèmes de consommation de SPA chez les jeunes, mais elles documentent peu quelles activités (nature et quantité) et types de JHA (Internet ou non-Internet) sont plus spécifiquement reliés aux problèmes de consommation de SPA à l’adolescence. Les travaux de la présente étude visent à explorer les liens entre les activités de JHA, le nombre de JHA et les types de JHA d’une part, et les SPA consommées ainsi que la gravité de la consommation de SPA, d’autre part. Pour ce faire, une étude a été réalisée entre 2007 et 2009 auprès de 1 870 élèves de la 3e à la 5e année du secondaire, âgés de 14 à 18 ans. Un questionnaire sur les habitudes de JHA (DSM-IV-MR-J) et un autre sur la consommation de SPA (DEP-ADO) leur ont été administrés. Les résultats montrent notamment que les jeunes polyconsommateurs (alcool et cannabis) s’adonnent aux JHA dans une proportion plus élevée que les consommateurs d’alcool seulement. Aussi, le fait de jouer avec des appareils de loterie vidéo (ALV) semble être associé à une gravité plus importante de la consommation de SPA que les autres activités de JHA. Par ailleurs, une gravité plus élevée de la consommation de SPA est manifestée chez ceux qui s’adonnent à un plus grand nombre d’activités de JHA différentes. Les jeunes jouant avec les ALV et ceux faisant des paris sportifs s’adonnent à un nombre moyen de JHA différents plus important. Enfin, les joueurs Internet de l’échantillon présentent des problèmes de consommation de SPA plus graves que les joueurs non-Internet. Les implications cliniques de ces résultats sont discutées.
