Unraveling the neuropsychological underpinnings of behavioral regulation problems of child sexual offenders University of Antwerp
One important contributing factor to the onset and maintenance of sexual offending behavior against children, is the inability to regulate oneself or one’s behavior (i.e., self-regulation or behavioral regulation problems). Accordingly, improving behavioral regulation is one of the most important goals in the treatment of individuals committing sexual offenses against children (i.e., child sexual offenders; CSOs). Up to now, however, a precise ...
Behavioral problems in children with motor and intellectual disabilities: Prevalence and associations with maladaptive personality and marital relationship KU Leuven
Prevalence rates of behavioral problems in children with motor disabilities are commonly based on questionnaires developed for a general population (e.g., Child Behavior CheckList). These questionnaires do not take into account lower levels of intellectual functioning. The first aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of parent-reported and daily caretaker-reported behavioral problems in children with motor and intellectual disabilities ...
Emotional and behavioral problems, quality of life and metabolic control in NTBC-treated Tyrosinemia type 1 patients University of Antwerp KU Leuven
Background: Treatment with 2-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl)-1,3-cyclohexanedione (NTBC) and dietary phenylalanine and tyrosine restriction improves physical health and life expectancy in Tyrosinemia type 1 (TT1). However, neurocognitive outcome is suboptimal. This study aimed to investigate behavior problems and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in NTBC-dietary-treated TT1 and to relate this to phenylalanine and tyrosine ...
Emotional and behavioral problems in children and adolescents with neurofibromatosis type 1 KU Leuven
To assess emotional and behavioral problems in children and adolescents with neurofibromatosis type 1,parents of 183 individuals aged 10.8 ± 3.1 years (range 6-17) completed the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Also, 173 teachers completed the Teacher's Report Form (TRF), and 88 adolescents (children from 11 to 17 years) completed the Youth Self-Report (YSR). According to parental ratings, 32% scored in the clinical range (above the 90th ...
Identification of emotional and behavioral problems by teachers in children with developmental coordination disorder in the school community KU Leuven
Current evidence on the co-occurrence of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) and psychosocial problems mainly concerns parent-reported information, but rarely includes teacher information. The aim of this study was (1) to investigate the teachers' identification of emotional and behavioral problems in children with DCD and (2) to examine the performance of the teacher version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ-T) compared ...
No major role for X-inactivation in variations of intelligence and behavioral problems at middle childhood KU Leuven
Although members of monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs are identical in genomic sequence, epigenetic mechanisms may occasion difference in gene expression and, consequently, twin discordance in complex traits. Recent work suggests that the epigenetic process of X-inactivation in female individuals may impact on intelligence and child behavioral problems. The timing of X-inactivation has been linked to chorionic splitting in MZ twins. Dichorionic ...

Young Adolescent’s Confidence in Maternal Support: Attentional Bias Moderates the Link Between Attachment-Related Expectations and Behavioral Problems KU Leuven Ghent University
Attachment security is an important resilience factor for children at risk for psychopathology, whereas attachment insecurity can be an important risk factor. Effects of attachment security on behavior problems may be partially explained by expectations regarding attachment figures' availability and the moderating effect of concurrent automatic biases in children's attentional processing of their mother on the link between attachment-related ...
