“…In general, these assumptions have been tested and appear reasonable, for example the equal environments assumption in which monozygotic and dizygotic twins share the same environment to the same extent 64,65 and the assumption of generalisability of twin results to the rest of the population 66–68 . In our model fitting analyses we found that the AE model was the best-fitting model.…”

Social support and mental health in late adolescence are correlated for genetic, as well as environmental, reasons

Late adolescence is a crucial, but underexplored, developmental stage with respect to the aetiology of social support. These individuals are experiencing many major life changes and social support can help them adjust to the associated environmental stressors of this time. Using 1,215 18-year-old twin pairs from the Twins Early Development Study, we collected measures of two indices of support: support quality and support quantity, as well as wellbeing and depression. Both support indices were moderately heritable (55% and 49%, respectively), an interesting finding given the many environmental changes that late adolescents are encountering that could be environmentally altering their social network structures. Finding a genetic influence on support suggests the presence of gene-environment correlation whereby individuals create and perceive their supportive environment based upon their genetic predispositions. Shared genetic influences mediated the moderate phenotypic correlation (mean r = 0.46) between support and mental health. Genetic correlations were higher between support quality and mental health (mean rA = 0.75), than between support quantity and mental health (mean rA = 0.54), reflecting the phenotypic pattern. This suggests that interventions should focus more on making late adolescents aware of the support quality around them than encouraging them to increase their social network size.

“…See “Method” for further details. This sample differs in four ways from most of the others: 1) Unlike the Robbers, Malone, Jester, and Lubke samples, 7-8,10-11,13 it has rigorous standardized clinical diagnoses of ADHD. 2) However, unlike the Swanson and Sonuga-Barke samples, 9,12 it was not selected for a diagnosis of ADHD, but for related (manic) symptoms and therefore includes some children without an ADHD diagnosis but with some ADHD symptoms.…”

Objective This study aims to examine trajectories of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in the Longitudinal Assessment of Manic Symptoms (LAMS) sample. Method The LAMS study assessed 684 children aged 6-12 with Kiddie-Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (K-SADS) and rating scales semi-annually for 3 years. Though selected for elevated manic symptoms, 526 had baseline ADHD diagnoses. With growth mixture modeling (GMM), we separately analyzed inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive symptoms, covarying baseline age. Multiple standard methods determined optimal fit. Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance (ANOVA) compared resulting latent classes/trajectories on clinical characteristics and medication. Results Three latent class trajectories best described inattentive symptoms; 4 classes best described hyperactive/impulsive symptoms. Inattentive trajectories maintained their relative position over time. Hyperactive/impulsive symptoms had 2 consistent trajectories (least and most severe). Another (4.5%) started mild, then escalated; and a fourth (14%) started severe but improved dramatically. The improving trajectory had the highest rate of ADHD and lowest rate of bipolar diagnoses. Three-fourths of the mildest inattention class were also in the mildest hyperactive/impulsive class; 72% of the severest inattentive class were in the severest hyperactive/impulsive class; but the severest inattention class also included 62% of the improving hyperactive-impulsive class. Conclusion An ADHD rather than bipolar diagnosis prognosticates a better course of hyperactive/impulsive, but not inattentive, symptoms. High overlap of relative severity between inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity confirms the link between these symptom clusters. Hyperactive/impulsive symptoms wane more over time. Group means are insufficient to understand individual ADHD prognosis. A small subgroup deteriorates over time in hyperactivity/impulsivity and needs better treatments than currently provided.

“…Given that research indicates that teacher reported attention problems correspond with an ADHD diagnosis (Derks et al 2006), the use of the TRF is considered an evidence-based, valid method for identifying ADHD symptoms (Pelham et al 2005). Further, precedent exists for using this scale to represent ADHD symptoms in research (Breslau et al 2010; Robbers et al 2011). Results should be replicated with more comprehensive measurement of ADHD symptoms, but correspondence between our measure and ADHD symptoms measured in other ways supports generalization of our results to children with ADHD symptoms.…”

Children with ADHD symptoms often display social competence deficits, yet mechanisms for their social difficulties remain unclear. Using data from the normative sample of non-intervention respondents (N=387; 50 % male; 49 % non-European-American; age at initial assessment: M= 6.5 years, SD=0.48) in the Fast Track project (Lochman and CPPRG Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology 63:549–59, 1995), the social-information processing ability of accessing responses for social situations was modeled across four time points from kindergarten to third grade. Teacher-rated aggression and ADHD symptoms were included as predictors of the intercept and slope. Low ADHD symptoms were associated with a decline in aggressive responses across childhood, whereas high ADHD symptoms were linked to an increase in aggressive responses that decelerated between second and third grade. Regarding competent responses, low ADHD symptoms predicted increases in competent responses, but this increase decelerated between second and third grade. High ADHD symptoms were also associated with a slight increase in competent responses into first grade, but competent responses decreased from first to third grade. Neither aggression nor the interaction of ADHD symptoms and aggression accounted for a significant amount of variance in aggressive or competent responses. Future research should identify if differences in response access associated with high and low ADHD symptoms link to difficulties making and keeping friendships.
