Ways of thinking of antisocial behavior • Overt vs. covert • Destructive vs. nondestructive • Verbal vs. physical aggression • Instrumental vs. hostile aggression • Direct vs. indirect aggression • Reactive vs. proactive agression • Four types of youth violence (Figure 6.4): • Situational • Relationship • Predatory • Psychopathological
DSM-IV Criteria • Oppositional-Defiant Disorder (T: 6.1) • age inappropriate stubborn, irritable, and defiant behaviors • Conduct Disorder CD (T: 6.2) • persistent pattern of violating basic rights of others and societal norms or rules • Antisocial personality disorder (<18 yrs) • repetitive aggressive, law-breaking behaviors • signs of psychopathy (no guilt or remorse)
Gender differences • For CD, 3:1 male-female ratio • Boys show earlier onset and greater persistence • Gender disparity decreases in adolescence • Early signs: • Boys - aggression and theft • Girls - early menarche, sexually precocious • Note: CD boys & girls are drawn together
Developmental pathways • Life-Course-Persistent Pathway • Figure 6.7: Patterson’s 1992 Dev’t Model • Adolescent Limited Pathway Difficult Temperament Attentional Problems Oppositional Behavior Conduct Disorder Contact with Law Young adulthood: “Normal” adjustment CD arises during teen years What kind of trouble? How permanent is impact? Life trajectory?
Biological Causes of CD • Temperament, impulsivity, emotional lability, lack of persistance, restlessness, negativity, poor coping • Genetic contributions for overt behaviors and LCP path (parent crminality) • Insensitivity to rewards • Low psychological arousal & autonomic reactivity: Sensation-seeking
Social cognitive factors • Cognitive deficiencies and distortions • misinterpretation of neutral events as hostile • Bill: he “looked at me” wrong • Deficits may occur encoding and interpreting • Problem solving: • searching for R, choosing one, implementing
Family factors • Dysfunctional family functioning • Family conflict, violence, inconsistent or ineffective parenting, transitions, antisocial family values (e.g., police are stupid) • Bidirectional causality • Coercive parenting cycle • Insecure attachment may predict antisocial behavior • Other family stress (e.g., financial)
Societal factors • Poverty, crime areas, residential mobility, no sense of community • Media influence: Reinforces pre-existing tendencies towards violent or exploitive acts • Culture and ethnicity are confounded with SES, may exacerbate problems in teen years (gangs & “turf” may be along ethnic lines)
Treatment • Poor prognosis for antisocial behaviors & LCP • this includes psychotherapy, group therapy, tutoring, punishment, boot camps • Early intervention for ODD and CD: • Parent-management training • Cognitive problem solving skills training focus on distortions and deficiencies • Multi-systemic treatment: Family system manipulation
