The role that parenting plays in the development of antisocial behaviour has been, and is still widely researched. International studies on this topic are vast. In South Africa, however, very little has been researched within this area. This study aimed to systematically review literature on the role of parenting in the development of antisocial behaviour. International literature published between 2000 and 2013 was reviewed in order to gain a better idea of the current state of knowledge on this topic. All of the articles included in the review examined some aspect of parenting behaviour, parenting practices and/or parenting styles related to the development of antisocial behaviour, conduct disorder, and/or oppositional defiant disorder. The articles were systematically assessed, and eight themes emerged which include: effective parenting behaviours; the moderating effects of callous unemotional traits on parenting; parental warmth; parental discipline; parental knowledge and monitoring; parental psychopathology; parenting styles; and parenting during infancy.

More specifically, this study proposes to 1) to contextualize historically the emergence of this classification in psychiatry, as well as the questions raised in this segment; 2) to characterize and analyze some of its implications in the field of childhood and adolescence mental health. The methodological strategies were based on clues of the genealogy proposed by Michel Foucault and on the contributions of the French Institutional Analysis. From the point of view of the procedures adopted, we tracked the notion of "conduct disorder" in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and its modulations in different editions, as well as highlighting positions that question such a psychopathological classification in psychiatric child-juvenile manuals. We also discuss the forensic uses and the psi-juridical articulation (re)produced by this diagnosis. A second dimension of the research, of an empirical nature, sought to analyze some of its uses and effects in a mental health service destined to children and adolescents through the monitoring, in the case-tracer strategy, of a case considered conduct disorder in a child-juvenile CAPS. As an analytical perspective, we use contributions from Michel Foucault on the psychiatry of childhood and the institution of abnormality as a mechanism for governing lives. We conclude that the classification of "conduct disorder" supports control and normalization actions, since it validates the correction of rebelliousness and inequality, decontextualized and circumscribed as deviant conduct. We consider that these reflections, related to child-juvenile mental health, can favor the construction of affirmative practices of the difference, the singularity and the unpredictability of childhood / A presente dissertação tem como principal objetivo a problematização do diagnóstico de transtorno de conduta dirigido a crianças e adolescentes. Mais especificamente, este estudo propõe-se a 1) contextualizar historicamente a emergência desta classificação na psiquiatria, assim como as indagações que suscitou neste âmbito; 2) caracterizar e analisar algumas de suas incidências no campo da saúde mental da infância e adolescência. As estratégias metodológicas se fundamentaram nas pistas da genealogia proposta por Michel Foucault e nas contribuições da Análise Institucional francesa. Do ponto de vista dos procedimentos adotados, rastreamos a noção de “transtorno de conduta” no Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais (DSM) e suas modulações em diferentes edições do mesmo, bem como destacamos posicionamentos que interrogam tal classificação psicopatológica em manuais de psiquiatria infanto-juvenil. Discutimos, ainda, os usos forenses e a articulação psi-jurídica (re)produzida por esse diagnóstico. Uma segunda dimensão da pesquisa, de caráter empírico, buscou analisar alguns de seus usos e efeitos em um serviço de saúde mental destinado a crianças e adolescentes por meio do acompanhamento, na estratégia de caso-traçador, de um caso considerado de transtorno de conduta em um CAPS infanto-juvenil. Como perspectiva analítica, utilizamos aportes de Michel Foucault sobre a psiquiatrização da infância e a instituição da anormalidade como mecanismo de governo de vidas. Concluímos que a classificação “transtorno de conduta” sustenta ações de normalização e controle, uma vez que valida a correção de rebeldias e indocilidades, estas descontextualizadas e circunscritas como condutas desviantes. Consideramos que tais reflexões, relacionadas à saúde mental infanto-juvenil, podem favorecer a construção de práticas afirmativas da diferença, da singularidade e da imprevisibilidade da infância

Studying disruptive behavior disorders in adolescents is critical; however, there is a paucity of literature on methods for differentially diagnosing the two main disruptive behavior disorders: Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder. Conduct Disorder is defined as a persistent pattern of behavior where the basic rights of others or other major social norms are violated whereas Oppositional Defiant Disorder is usually diagnosed in childhood or adolescence, and is defined by a pattern of disobedient, hostile, or defiant behavior towards authority figures. Despite some similarities in presentation, the majority of research supports the notion that these two disorders are distinct. Finding accurate ways to differentiate these two disorders is important for discovering and implementing empirically validated treatments. The primary purpose of this study was to determine how the Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory, a commonly used self-report scale, distinguished between adolescents presenting with either Oppositional Defiant or Conduct Disorder who had been admitted to a residential treatment facility. A secondary component of the current study examined gender differences in the two disorders.Multivariate Analysis of Variance was used to determine if the two diagnostic or gender groups were significantly different. If so, discriminant function analysis was employed to determine where the difference occurred. Although some scales approached significance, there were no statistical differences among adolescents with Conduct Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder across any of the dependent variables. There were, however, gender and age differences found across several scales. Unfortunately, because there were no interactions with diagnosis on any scales, differences occurred equally among adolescents from either diagnostic group. This result raises questions as to whether the Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory is a useful diagnostic instrument for disruptive behavior disorders. This instrument may be more useful to determine individual characteristics that would impact treatment than as an instrument for researchers studying empirically validated interventions for Conduct Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. / Department of Educational Psychology

Thesis (MEdPsych)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Despite the fact that a large proportion of learners in schools today is seen as displaying behavioural problems / difficulties, the area of teachers understanding the learners' needs to behave in a certain way is underresearched. A review of traditional psychological literature also suggests that the area of teachers' understanding of their learners' behaviour in the classroom is a marginalised subject. It is generally postulated that teachers have a profound influence on learners and how they behave. A teacher's understanding of a learner's behaviour, or the lack thereof, could be accompanied by a host of psychological and social consequences. The focus of this study will be to determine whether teachers understand the need/function of their learners' behaviour in the classroom. A qualitative study will be conducted. The instrument to be employed in the study is a self-constructed questionnaire and focus group interviews to clarify certain responses to the questionnaire. These will be administered to teachers at two mainstream primary schools in Bonteheuwel. Content and thematic analysis will be used to analyse the data. The primary aim of the study is to determine teachers' understanding of their learners' difficult/inappropriate/unacceptable behaviour in the classroom. The understanding of learners' behaviour in the classroom will inform teachers of the intervention strategies and behaviour management programmes to be used. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Ondanks die feit dat 'n aansienlike aantal leerders in skole gedragsprobleme ervaar, bly die begrip van onderwysers aangaande leerders se onderliggende motivering vir hul gedrag 'n braak navorsingsarea. 'n Oorsig van sielkundige literatuur insinieër dat onderwysers se verstaan van hul leerders se gedrag in die klaskamer erg gemarginaliseerd is. Dit word algemeen gepostuleer dat onderwysers 'n fenomenale invloed op leerders en hulle gedrag het. 'n Onderwyser se begrip (verstaan) aangaande 'n leerder se gedrag of gebrek daaraan, gaan heel waarskynlik gepaard met verskeie sielkundige asook sosiale gevolge. Hierdie studie sal voorts probeer om vas te stelof onderwysers die behoefte/funksie van hul leerders se gedrag in die klaskamer verstaan. 'n Kwalitatiewe studie salonderneem word. 'n Self gekonstrueerde vraelys, asook fokus groep onderhoude, met die doelom sekere response op die vraelys uit te klaar, sal as instrument gebruik word. Die vraelys sowel as die fokus groep onderhoude sal aan onderwysers van twee hoofstroom primêre skole in Bonteheuwel geadminstreer word. Inhouds- en tematiese analise sal gebruik word om die data te analiseer. Die pnrnere doel van die studie sal wees om onderwysers se begrip rondom hulle leerders se moeilike/ontoepaslike/onaanvaarbare gedrag in die klaskamer vas te stel. Die verstaan (begrip) van leerders se gedrag in die klaskamer sal meer lig werp op intervensiestrategieë, asook gedragsbestuurprogramme wat deur onderwysers gebruik kan word.

Many cardiovascular psychophysiological studies have found evidence of lower arousal states in aggressive individuals and hyper-arousal states in individuals exposed to chronic stress. However, most of these studies have relied on clinical diagnoses or self-reports to identify aggressive and victimized individuals. The present study used peer nominations to identify aggressive, victimized, and non-aggressive or victimized adolescents (mean age = 12.09 yrs.) to examine if any psychophysiological differences exist during resting and startle conditions. ANOVAs revealed that high aggressive/low victimized adolescents had a lower resting heart period/rate compared to high victimized/low aggressive adolescents. Further analyses revealed a statistical trend of lower resting heart period variability in high victimized/low aggressive individuals compared to non-aggressive non-victimized controls. Due to evidence suggesting that individuals with high self-reported empathy display less aggression, empathy as a moderator for aggression was investigated. Although gender differences w3ere found across measures, empathy ws not found to moderate aggression. / by Christopher Aults. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2012. / Includes bibliography. / Mode of access: World Wide Web. / System requirements: Adobe Reader.

Foram descritas as características sociodemográficas, o desempenho nos testes de inteligência, as coocorrências e os problemas emocionais/comportamentais apresentados pelos superdotados para análise das relações entre essas características e a qualidade de vida. Os superdotados com até 18 anos de idade foram selecionados do Ambulatório de Desvios da Aprendizagem da Disciplina de Neuropediatria do Hospital das Clínicas da UNESP de Botucatu de 2008 a 2014 através do resultado de quoeficiente de inteligência da escala Wechsler de 120 ou mais. Todos haviam sido encaminhados ao serviço por motivo de alteração do comportamento e/ou desvio da aprendizagem e não suspeitavam da superdotação anteriormente à avaliação. Foram utilizados os seguintes instrumentos: A escala Wechsler de inteligência, o protocolo sociodemográfico elaborado para este estudo, a versão brasileira do Inventário de comportamentos para crianças e adolescentes (CBCL) e os Questionários Pediátricos de Qualidade de Vida (PedsQL). A análise estatística foi realizada utilizando-se o programa STATA 10.0. Inicialmente foi feita análise descritiva, com checagem de consistência dos dados e correções, quando necessárias. Estimativas de prevalência foram acompanhadas de intervalos de confiança de 95%, e medidas de tendência central e dispersão foram calculadas. A mediana da idade foi 10 e a média do Quoeficiente de Inteligência Total foi de 129,59. A Escala Total de Problemas Emocionais/Comportamentais se mostrou na faixa Clínica para 51,8% dos superdotados e 66,7% nessa mesma faixa para as Escalas de Internalização. A Dimensão Emocional da Qualidade de Vida foi a que obteve menores escores tanto nas respostas dos superdotados quanto nas dos... / Abstract: The objective of this study is to characterize the profile concerning social demographic and clinic aspects, and to evaluate life quality of gifted students assisted by a specialized service. The social demographic characteristics, the gifted student intelligence tests performance, their previous diagnostics/comorbidities and the behavior/emotional problems were described to analyze the relations among these characteristics and their life quality. The gifted students with 18 years old or less were selected from child neurology outpatient clinic of Learning Deviations (Learning Deviations Ambulatory) of Clinical Hospital of UNESP- Botucatu in the years 2008 to 2014 by Wechsler intelligence scales results above 120. All of them were sent to the service for behavior and/or learning problems and had no suspect of being gifted before the evaluation. The following instruments were used: Wechsler intelligence scale, social demographic protocol elaborated for this study, the Brazilian version of Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and of life quality questionnaires: Pediatric Life quality questionnaire (PedsQLTM). The 10.0 STATA Program was used for statistical analysis. Descriptive analysis was made first, with checking of data consistency and corrections when needed. Prevalence estimative was associated of trust intervals of 95% and measures of central tendency and dispersion were calculated. The age median was 10 and the Intelligence Quotient mean 129,59. The Total Emotional/Behavior Problems and Internalization Scales were in the clinical range for respectively 51,8% and 66,7% of the gifted students. The Emotional Dimension of Life Quality showed the lower score for the gifted and their parents. Life Quality was inversely proportional to Executive Intelligence Quotient and Perceptual Organization and was also clinical range of Anxiety/Depression Syndrome from CBCL. The results suggest that life quality can be worse as specific abilities have ... / Mestre
