“…They also noticed that their children were less adaptable to new situations, had fewer pleasurable mood states and irregular bodily rhythms compared to healthy controls. As temperamental difficulties in toddlerhood were reported to be persisting into infancy, results like these add to previous suggestions that infant temperament can be predictive of later social behaviour (Biederman et al 1995b;Fox and Henderson 1999).…”

With the present review, we intend to highlight the importance of considering the age- and development-dependent occurrence of comorbidity in ADHD and to outline distinct trajectories of symptom progression with possible impact on course and outcome of ADHD. The review will focus on introducing the concepts of "developmental epidemiology" and "developmental comorbidity". Psychiatric and non-psychiatric age-dependent comorbidity can be seen in the majority of children, adolescents and adults with ADHD, resulting in a severe impairment of everyday life with considerable functional and psychosocial problems. Concerning the temporal order of occurrence, psychiatric conditions may be present before the appearance of first definite ADHD symptoms ("pre-comorbidity", such as temperament factors, sleep disturbance, autism spectrum disorders and atopic eczema). They may coincide with the time when ADHD symptoms reach a clinically significant level ("simultaneous comorbidity": enuresis, encopresis, developmental dyslexia). The majority of comorbidity, however, appears after the onset of ADHD in the course of disease ("post-comorbidity": tic disorder, depression and suicidality, anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, conduct and substance use disorders, obesity and personality disorders). The aetio-pathophysiology of ADHD and its comorbid disorders and also the nature of comorbidity itself being highly heterogeneous, we additionally discuss possible models of comorbidity. In the future, longitudinal data on distinct patterns of symptom and comorbidity progression would help to refine disease classification systems, strengthen the power of future genetic studies and finally allow for more specific treatment strategies.

“…However, the social perceptiveness of victims was not significantly different from socially adjusted children, suggesting that children's victim status is not the result of deficits in this area. Rather, previous research has found that infants with high maternal ratings of withdrawal negativity to be at low risk of developing aggressive behaviors later in childhood (Rothbart et al 1994), while greater infant withdrawal negativity has been associated with greater childhood shyness, withdrawal, and fear (Fox and Henderson 1999), qualities characteristic of victims (Haynie et al 2001;Perren and Alsaker 2006). Because of these emotional characteristics, non-aggressive victims may be viewed by other children as easy targets for aggression, whereas aggressive victims' angry, impulsive behavior may be provocative of peer aggression.…”

This prospective investigation sought to discriminate children who were both aggressive towards and victimized by peers in the first grade, from those who were only aggressive, only victimized, or neither (i.e., socially adjusted), using early child and family risk factors. Two hundred thirty-eight children, their mothers, and teachers participated in a longitudinal study since birth. All three aggressor/victim subgroups showed greater temperamental dysregulation than the socially adjusted children, but only aggressive victims had significantly poorer social perception skills. Aggressive victims were distinguished from aggressors by greater exposure to maternal depression and from victims by lower levels of early inhibition, but they shared the experiences of negative family emotional expressiveness with aggressors and greater mother-child negativity with victims. The identification of early risk factors is crucial to prevention and early intervention efforts that have the potential to attenuate the long term emotional, social, and academic problems associated with aggressive victim status.

“…For example, one study has shown that FAA assessed in infants was significantly associated with behavioral inhibition assessed in 4-year old toddlers over 3 years after the initial assessment 33 . Similarly, FAA asymmetry measures obtained in infants who were 10 and 24 months old prospectively predicted mother-rated toddler internalizing and externalizing behaviors when the children were 30 months old 34 .…”

Objectives Pain catastrophizing is thought to play a causal role in the development and maintenance of chronic pain and its negative impact on functioning. However, few studies have examined the factors that might contribute to the development and maintenance of catastrophizing. The anterior asymmetry and emotion (AAE) model hypothesizes that more activity in left anterior brain regions is associated with a tendency to engage in approach responses (often, but not always, associated with positive valance), and that more right anterior activity is associated with a tendency to engage in more withdrawal responses (often associated with negative valance). Given the consistent associations found between catastrophizing and both (1) approach vs avoidance pain coping styles and (2) affective responses to pain, the AAE model would predict that more left (versus right) anterior brain activity would prospectively predict future catastrophizing. Methods Anterior asymmetry measures computed using electroencephalogram data from 30 individuals with spinal cord injury were correlated with catastrophizing scores obtained two years after the EEG recording. Results Consistent with the AAE model, anterior asymmetry scores reflecting greater left than right anterior activity were negatively associated with subsequent catastrophizing. Conclusions The study findings identify a biological factor that may be associated with greater vulnerability to pain-related catastrophizing. If replicated in future research, the findings suggest new possibilities for treating catastrophizing, which may then contribute to improved pain treatment outcomes.
