“…However, these too present an important limitation regarding socially desirable responding and the ability to accurately recall (and judge) one's own behaviour (Lane et al, 2003). Consequently, it is recommended that self-reports be used in conjunction with behavioural measures, which may provide a broader picture of actual risk-taking and believed engagement in risk (Collado, MacPherson, Kurdziel, Rosenberg, & Lejuez, 2014).…”

“…The BART has been validated as a proxy measure for real-world risk-taking (Collado et al, 2014), and in the present study, like in most BART studies, participants were tested individually. However, adolescents are more likely to engage in risky behaviours in the presence of peers (e.g.…”

“…Romer et al, 2011). Here, we used computerised measures and compared Go/No-go performance with behaviour on a simple proxy measure of risk-taking propensity, the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART; Lejuez et al, 2002), which correlates well with actual risk-taking levels (Collado, MacPherson, Kurdziel, Rosenberg, & Lejuez, 2014). In this task participants 'pump-up' a series of virtual balloons.…”

“…A greater average number of pumps indicates greater risk-taking propensity (Bornovalova et al, 2009;Lejuez et al, 2003). As the BART can measure adolescents' increased risk-taking propensity in incentivised situations (Steinberg, 2008), without disclosure, and before actual risk-taking emerges, it is useful for use with adolescents from age 11 (Aklin, Lejuez, Zvolensky, Kahler, & Gwadz, 2005;Collado et al, 2014;Lejuez, Aklin, Daughters, Zvolensky, Kahler, Gwadz, 2007). Here, we compared developmental differences in inhibitory control and risk-taking during adolescence, and investigated whether individual and age differences in inhibitory control were related to risk-taking.…”

Development of Risk-Taking, Perspective-Taking, and Inhibitory Control During Adolescence

Structural and functional brain development is thought to lead to different developmental progressions of cognitive control, risk/reward processing and social cognition during adolescence. We compared these abilities in a cross-sectional sample of 90 adolescents aged 12, 15 or 17 years old, using computerised measures of inhibitory control (Go/No-go task), risk-taking (Balloon Analogue Risk Task), and social perspective-taking (Director task). Fifteen-year-olds exhibited better inhibitory control than 12-year-olds, while 17-year-olds exhibited greater perspective-taking than younger adolescents. Risk-taking was greater in older adolescents than 12-year-olds when controlling for inhibitory control. These findings are consistent with earlier findings obtained in separate samples.

“…Early onset of puberty is associated with increased risk of alcohol and substance use, health risk behaviors (Collado-Rodriguez et al 2014; Kaltiala-Heino et al 2011; Patton et al 2004), and psychological and social issues during adolescence (Hamilton et al 2014; Klump 2013; Mendle et al 2007; Mendle et al 2012; Short and Rosenthal 2008; Whittle et al 2015), as well as increased risk of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes (Frontini et al 2003; He et al 2010; Janghorbani et al 2014; Widen et al 2012), cardiovascular disease (Jacobsen et al 2009; Lakshman et al 2009; Prentice and Viner 2013), and endocrine-related cancers (Ali 2014; Beral et al 2012; Jordan et al 2005; Walvoord 2010) in adulthood. Improved nutritional status (Cheng et al 2012; Villamor and Jansen 2016; Wyshak and Frisch 1982; Zacharias and Wurtman 1969) and increased prevalence of childhood obesity (Anderson et al 2003; Kaplowitz 2008; Lee et al 2007; Rosenfield et al 2009; Shalitin and Kiess 2017) may contribute to the downward trend in age of pubertal onset.…”

Background Over the past several decades, the age of pubertal onset in girls has shifted downward worldwide. As early pubertal onset is associated with increased risky behavior and psychological issues during adolescence and cardiometabolic disease and cancer in adulthood, this is an important public health concern. Exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals during critical windows of in utero development may play a role in this trend. Our objective was to investigate trimester-specific phthalate and BPA exposure in relation to pubertal development among girls in the Early Life Exposure in Mexico to Environmental Toxicants (ELEMENT) birth cohort. Methods We measured maternal urinary phthalate metabolites and BPA in samples collected during the first, second, and third trimesters of pregnancy. To assess reproductive development among their female children, we measured serum testosterone, estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), inhibin B, and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), and assessed sexual maturation, including Tanner staging for breast and pubic hair development and menarche status, at age 8–13 years (n=120). We used linear and logistic regression to examine measures of trimester-specific in utero exposure as predictors of peripubertal hormone levels and pubertal onset, respectively. In secondary analyses, we evaluated estimated exposure at the midpoint of the first trimester and rates of change in exposure across pregnancy in relation to outcomes. Results Several phthalate metabolites measured throughout in utero development were associated with higher serum testosterone concentrations, while a number of metabolites measured in the third trimester were associated with higher DHEA-S. For example, an interquartile range (IQR) increase in mean monoethyl phthalate (MEP) levels across pregnancy was associated with 44% higher peripubertal testosterone (95% CI: 13–83%), while an IQR increase in di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate metabolites (ΣDEHP) specifically in the third trimester was associated with 25% higher DHEA-S (95%CI: 4.7–47%). In IQR increase in mean mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP) levels across pregnancy was associated with lower odds of having a Tanner Stage >1 for breast development (OR=0.32, 95%CI: 0.11–0.95), while MEHP in the third trimester was associated with higher odds of having a Tanner Stage >1 for pubic hair development (OR=3.76, 95%CI: 1.1–12.8). Results from secondary analyses were consistent with findings from our main analysis. Conclusion These findings suggest that female reproductive development may be more vulnerable to the effects of phthalate or BPA exposure during specific critical periods of in utero development. This highlights the need for comprehensive characterizations of in utero exposure and consideration of windows of susceptibility in developmental epidemiological studies. Future research should consider repeated measures of in utero phthalate and BPA exposure within each trimester and across pregnancy.
