“…The use of the ICQ (Bates et al, 1979) to assess temperament limits the temperamental dimension included in the current intervention to difficultness. Other dimensions may be more important from the perspective of differential susceptibility, such as behavioral inhibition (Kagan, Reznick, & Gibbons, 1989), fearfulness (Kochanska, 1995), or emotional reactivity (Belsky, 2005;Klein Velderman et al, 2006).…”

“…To test whether children with a difficult temperament were more susceptible to the intervention efforts than relatively easy children, we split the sample into a group of temperamentally difficult children and a group of children with a relatively easy temperament. An a priori split was made on the 82.7th percentile in the general population screening sample, in accordance with the commonly used borderline/clinical cutoff for the CBCL (see also Klein Velderman et al, 2006). Because the three age groups differed in their temperament levels, splits were made separately for each age group.…”

The home-based intervention program Video-feedback Intervention to promote Positive Parenting and Sensitive Discipline (VIPP-SD) was tested in a randomized controlled trial with 237 families screened for their 1-to 3-year-old children's relatively high scores on externalizing behavior. VIPP-SD, based on attachment theory and coercion theory, focuses on mirroring and discussing actual parent-child interactions in six 1.5-hr sessions with individual families at home. VIPP-SD proved to be effective in enhancing maternal attitudes toward sensitivity and sensitive discipline and in promoting sensitive discipline interactions in the intervention group as compared with the control group. Moreover, in families with more marital discord and in families with more daily hassles, the intervention resulted in a decrease of overactive problem behaviors in the children. The authors conclude that VIPP-SD should become an important module in attachment-based interventions.

“…16 Furthermore, genetic differential susceptibility theory, which has been put forward by BakermansKranenburg and van IJzendoorn, 17 specifically emphasizes the moderating role of genetic variance that act as plasticity markers in gene 3 environment paradigms. 18 A significant proportion of the differential susceptibility literature has focused on a common variation in the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR). 19,20 Two functional alleles, long (L) and short (S), result from a 43-bp insertion/deletion in the promoter region of 5-HTT.…”

, on behalf of the MAVAN research team abstract BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Sleep problems are frequent in young children; however, children vary in the degree to which they are affected by poor sleep quality. We investigated whether a polymorphism in the serotonin transporter gene, which is linked to emotional function, is a potential moderator of the influences of sleep duration on infant temperament using longitudinal data. METHODS:We examined the interactive effects of average sleep duration between 6 and 36 months of age and the 5-HTTLPR genotype on negative emotionality/behavioral dysregulation at 36 months in 209 children recruited into a longitudinal birth cohort study. Triallelic genotyping of 5-HTTLPR was performed by looking at SLC6A4 genotype, focusing on the serotonin transporter-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) including the SNP polymorphism (rs23351). Child sleep habits were assessed with a maternal self-report questionnaire.RESULTS: After controlling for demographics and both previous and concurrent maternal depression, multiple linear regression analyses revealed a significant interaction effect of average sleep duration for the first 3 years of life and 5-HTTLPR genotype on child negative emotionality/behavioral dysregulation such that the effects were exclusive to those with low-expressing 5-HTTLPR genotypes. CONCLUSIONS:The results suggest differential susceptibility to the effect of sleep duration early in life, which reiterates that the short allele of the 5-HTTLPR represents a marker of increased environmental sensitivity regarding emotional development. Differential susceptibility theory posits that certain factors may increase an individual's susceptibility to the environment, in either a positive or negative fashion. WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT:Sleep disturbances in infants associate with individual differences in temperament. However, little is known about interindividual differences and potential moderating factors, such as genotype. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:The results suggest that the cumulative effect of total sleep duration during the first 3 years of life on temperament is moderated by child 5-HTTLPR genotype following a differential susceptibility model.

“…In a seminal ES experiment, Velderman et al [37] found that infant temperamental reactivity, a putative ES factor, moderated outcomes of a brief-type preventive intervention aimed at improving maternal sensitivity and attachment security. Specifically, the intervention was most effective for mothers with highly reactive infants; on the other hand, for mothers with low reactive infants, there was no association between gains in maternal sensitivity and attachment security.…”

Preventive interventions that target high-risk youth, via one-size-fits-all approaches, have demonstrated modest effects in reducing rates of substance use. Recently, substance use researchers have recommended personalized intervention strategies. Central to these approaches is matching preventatives to characteristics of an individual that have been shown to predict outcomes. One compelling body of literature on person × environment interactions is that of environmental sensitivity theories, including differential susceptibility theory and vantage sensitivity. Recent experimental evidence has demonstrated that environmental sensitivity (ES) factors moderate substance abuse outcomes. We propose that ES factors may augment current personalization strategies such as matching based on risk factors/severity of problem behaviors (risk severity (RS)). Specifically, individuals most sensitive to environmental influence may be those most responsive to intervention in general and thus need only a brief-type or lower-intensity program to show gains, while those least sensitive may require more comprehensive or intensive programming for optimal responsiveness. We provide an example from ongoing research to illustrate how ES factors can be incorporated into prevention trials aimed at high-risk adolescents. Keywords Substance use, Prevention, Environmental sensitivity, R i s k s e v e r i t y, D i ff e r e n t i a l s u s c e p t i b i l i t y, PersonalizationAlcohol and other drug use among adolescents is a serious public health concern in the USA. For example, by late adolescence, over 78 % of teens will have experimented with alcohol, over 47 % will be engaged in regular drinking habits, and over 14 % will have met criteria for lifetime abuse [1]. Despite herculean efforts over the previous five decades to stem the rising tide of substance use, treatment approaches (largely based on behavioral parent training and cognitive behavioral therapy principles) have been modest at best; there is considerable variability in outcomes, and no one model works similarly for all youth [2]. Even among those who experience initial success following treatment, relapse rates are high [3].
