Many victimized youngsters are at risk of developing internalizing problems, and this risk seems to be especially pronounced when they are genetically vulnerable for these problems. It is unclear, however, whether protective ...
Longitudinal links between gambling participation and academic performance in youth : a test of four models
Gambling participation and academic achievement
(Springer, 2018-09-30)
Gambling participation and low academic performance are related during adolescence, but the causal mechanisms underlying this link are unclear. It is possible that gambling participation impairs academic performance. ...
A longitudinal empirical investigation of the pathways model of problem gambling
Longitudinal investigation of the pathways model
(Springer, 2017-12-31)
Background and Aims: The Pathways Model of Problem Gambling suggests the existence of
three developmental pathways to problem gambling, each differentiated by a set of predisposing
biopsychosocial characteristics: ...
Phenotypic and genetic associations between reading comprehension, decoding skills, and ADHD dimensions : evidence from two population-based studies
Phenotypic and genetic associations between reading and ADHD
(Wiley, 2015-02)
BACKGROUND:
The phenotypic and genetic associations between decoding skills and ADHD dimensions have been documented but less is known about the association with reading comprehension. The aim of the study is to document ...
Early warm-rewarding parenting moderates the genetic contributions to callous-unemotional traits in childhood
Warm-rewarding genetic callous-unemotional
(Wiley, 2018-04-23)
Background
Previous gene–environment interaction studies of CU traits have relied on the candidate gene approach, which does not account for the entire genetic load of complex phenotypes. Moreover, these studies have not ...
Friendship experiences and anxiety among children : a genetically informed study
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
This study examined (a) whether, in line with a gene-environment correlation (rGE), a genetic disposition for anxiety puts children at risk of having anxious friends or having no reciprocal friends; (b) to what extent these ...
Gene-environment correlation linking aggression and peer victimization : do classroom behavioral norms matter?
(Springer, 2015)
Using a genetically informed design based on 197 Monozygotic and Dizygotic twin pairs assessed in grade 4, this study examined 1) whether, in line with a gene-environment correlation (rGE), a genetic disposition for physical ...
Complex effects of dyslexia risk factors account for ADHD-traits : evidence from two independent samples
(Wiley, 2016-08-08)
Background: Developmental dyslexia (DD) and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are among the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, whose etiology involves multiple risk factors. DD and ADHD co-occur in the ...
The genetic and environmental etiology of the association between vocabulary and syntax in first grade
Etiology of vocabulary and syntax
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-03-09)
This study examined the genetic and environmental etiology of vocabulary, syntax, and their association in first graders. French-speaking same-sex twins (N = 555) completed two vocabulary tests, and two scores of syntax ...
Personal and familial predictors of peer victimization trajectories from primary to secondary school
Predictors of peer victimization trajectories
(American Psychological Association, 2016-07)
Using a sample of 767 children (403 girls, 364 boys), this study aimed to 1) identify groups with
distinct trajectories of peer victimization over a six-year period from primary school through the
transition to secondary ...
