“…In addition, the PC model assumed that the ODBs had equal discriminating power. These models did not provide an acceptable fit to the data, suggesting that the conventional symptom loading approach (Glidewell, Mensh, & Gildea, 1957) do not provide a proper measurement foundation upon which to identify children who may be experiencing a significant opposition-defiance problem early in life. Table 2 presents the estimates (under a restricted three-class model, see below) of the conditional probability of a randomly selected toddler in the general population exhibiting a particular ODB never, sometimes, or often, given his or her latent class membership.…”

Recent epidemiological evidence suggests that even in the midst of the “terrible twos,” frequent/severe oppositional‐defiant behaviors (ODBs) are not common among toddlers and hence may be indicative of a significant opposition‐defiance problem. The main objective of this study was to obtain a maximum likelihood estimate of the proportion of toddlers in the general population who are reported to exhibit ODBs on a frequent basis, and to test for gender differences therein. Data came from The Québec Longitudinal Study of Child Development, a survey of a representative birth cohort of children from the Canadian province of Québec. Multigroup latent class analysis was used to distinguish between toddlers who exhibit ODBs on a frequent basis and those who do so only occasionally or not at all. The results show that 12.4% of 17‐month‐old boys and girls exhibit ODBs on a frequent basis. Further, the results show a strong positive association between opposition‐defiance and physical aggression early in life, with a great majority of physically aggressive toddlers exhibiting ODBs on a frequent basis. In contrast, the results show that only a minority of toddlers who may be experiencing a significant opposition‐defiance problem exhibit physically aggressive behaviors on a frequent basis.

“…Another classification of schizophrenic parents divides them into pseudoneurotic, somatic, pseudodelinquent, and overtly psychotic (71). In general, it seems safe to say that there is a positive relation between the degree of parental symptoms and the degree of illness in the child, or that maladjustment in the parents increases the probability of maladjustment in one or more of the children (41,49,67,125). Ehrenwald (32,33) even goes so far as to speak of "psychological contagion," applying it to the transmission of symptomatology from parent to child.…”
