“…In this study, RR was measured using the behavioral approach system (BAS) [1] developed by the Carver and White [14]. They define RR as a trait closely linked to impulsivity and risk taking [2], with a significant relevance to high-risk behaviors such as tobacco use [3][4][5][6][7][8], alcohol use [9][10][11][12], emotional eating [13], obesity [14], aggression [15], and sexual risk [16,17]. Based on Gray's reinforcement sensitivity theory (RST) [23], a high score on the RR trait reflects individuals' high sensitivity to conditioned cues, which signal the individual about a higher-than-luck probability of reward.…”

(1) Background: Reward responsiveness (RR) is a risk factor for high-risk behaviors such as aggressive behaviors and early sexual initiation, which are all reported to be higher in African American and low socioeconomic status adolescents. At the same time, parental education is one of the main drivers of reward responsiveness among adolescents. It is still unknown if some of this racial and economic gap is attributed to weaker effects of parental education for African Americans, a pattern also called minorities’ diminished returns (MDRs). (2) Aim: We compared non-Hispanic White and African American adolescents for the effects of parent education on adolescents RR, a psychological and cognitive construct that is closely associated with high-risk behaviors such as the use of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. (3) Methods: This was a cross-sectional analysis that included 7072 adolescents from the adolescent brain cognitive development (ABCD) study. The independent variable was parent education. The main outcome as adolescents’ RR measured by the behavioral inhibition system (BIS) and behavioral activation system (BAS) measure. (4) Results: In the overall sample, high parent education was associated with lower levels of RR. In the overall sample, we found a statistically significant interaction between race and parent education on adolescents’ RR. The observed statistical interaction term suggested that high parent education is associated with a weaker effect on RR for African American than non-Hispanic White adolescents. In race-stratified models, high parent education was only associated with lower RR for non-Hispanic White but not African American adolescents. (5) Conclusion: Parent education reduces RR for non-Hispanic White but not African American adolescents. To minimize the racial gap in brain development and risk-taking behaviors, we need to address societal barriers that diminish the returns of parent education and resources in African American families. We need public and social policies that target structural and societal barriers, such as the unequal distribution of opportunities and resources. To meet such an aim, we need to reduce the negative effects of social stratification, segregation, racism, and discrimination in the daily lives of African American parents and families. Through an approach like this, African American families and parents can effectively mobilize their resources and utilize their human capital to secure the best possible tangible outcomes for their adolescents.

“…In this study, fun-seeking was measured using the behavioral approach system (BAS) [3], which was based on the Carver model of the reinforcement sensitivity theory (RST) [16]. The defined reward-seeking is a trait closely linked to impulsivity and risk taking [4], with considerable implications for a wide range of high-risk behaviors such as tobacco use [5][6][7][8][9][10], alcohol use [11][12][13][14], emotional eating [15], obesity [16], aggression [17], and sexual risk [18,19]. Based on Gray's reinforcement sensitivity theory (RST) [1], a high score on the reward sensitivity trait reflects individuals' high sensitivity to conditioned cues, which signal the individual about a higher-than-luck probability of reward.…”

“…These BAS-based traits correlate with traits such as impulsivity and risk taking [ 4 ]. The BAS-based sensitivity to reward is also shown to predict a wide range of high-risk behaviors such as tobacco use [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ], alcohol use [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ], emotional eating [ 15 ], obesity [ 16 ], aggression [ 17 ], and sexual risk [ 18 , 19 ]. These traits are also linked to several psychiatric disorders, such as bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) [ 20 ].…”

African American Children’s Diminished Returns of Subjective Family Socioeconomic Status on Fun Seeking

et al. 2020

Background: Reward sensitivity (fun-seeking) is a risk factor for a wide range of high-risk behaviors. While high socioeconomic status (SES) is known to reduce reward sensitivity and associated high-risk behaviors, less is known about the differential effects of SES on reward sensitivity. It is plausible to expect weaker protective effects of family SES on reward sensitivity in racial minorities, a pattern called Minorities’ Diminished Returns (MDRs). Aim: We compared Caucasian and African American (AA) children for the effects of subjective family SES on children’s fun-seeking. Methods: This was a cross-sectional analysis of 7061 children from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study. The independent variable was subjective family SES. The main outcome was children’s fun-seeking measured by the behavioral approach system (BAS) and behavioral avoidance system (BIS). Age, gender, marital status, and household size were the covariates. Results: In the overall sample, high subjective family SES was associated with lower levels of fun-seeking. We also found a statistically significant interaction between race and subjective family SES on children’s fun-seeking in the overall sample, suggesting that high subjective family SES is associated with a weaker effect on reducing fun-seeking among AA than Caucasian children. In race-stratified models, high subjective family SES was protective against fun-seeking of Caucasian but not AA children. Conclusion: Subjective family SES reduces the fun-seeking for Caucasian but not AA children.

“…Finally, the present study did not consider environmental factors after birth such as eating habits during early childhood. It has been reported that children born to mothers who smoke tend to consume more calories [ 6 , 44 ], and nutrition during early life may be related to rapid growth in body weight in early life. However, considering the purpose of the present study was to examine effects of prenatal exposure to tobacco smoke from perspectives of epigenetics, the exclusion of eating habits after birth would be reasonable.…”

Maternal smoking during pregnancy is a risk factor for childhood obesity; however, the combined effect of secondhand smoking during pregnancy on children in the early years is unclear. We examined the effects of maternal active and secondhand smoking during pregnancy on childhood obesity in a large population-based cohort. A nested case–control study originating from the Japan Environment and Children’s Study was performed. The maternal smoking status was collected via self-administered questionnaires during mid/late pregnancy. Obesity in children was determined based on BMI measured at 3 years of age. In total, 4875 cases and 19,491 controls were included in the analyses. Conditional logistic regression models with a significance level of 5% (two-tailed test) were used to test the association. The proportion of mothers who continued smoking and who were exposed to secondhand smoking daily during pregnancy were 3.9% and 13.0% in cases and 2.9% and 10.8% in controls, respectively. Continuous maternal smoking was associated with increased odds of obesity compared to those who never smoked or quit smoking before the pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio, 1.39; 95% confidence interval, 1.01–1.92). The odds increased further when combined with secondhand smoking. The promotion of non-smoking among family members, in public and workplace could benefit pregnant women and offspring.
