Always look on the bright side of life: Individual differences in visual attentional breadth for understanding temperament and emotion regulation in adolescents Universiteit Gent
IntroductionCognitive-affective models of depression show that negative and positive emotionality differentially confer risk for depression through maladaptive and adaptive emotion regulation (ER) strategies respectively. Yet, no research has examined the mechanisms through which these temperament traits shape individual differences in ER. The current study explored the mediating role of attentional breadth for emotional information in the ...
Psychopathic traits in adolescence: Associations with temperament and personality KU Leuven
The research presented in this PhD dissertation focuses on psychopathic traits in adolescence. Assessing potential precursors to psychopathy in youth is essential in obtaining a better understanding of the etiology and developmental processes that may lead to psychopathy in adulthood. Psychopathic traits in youth are composed of behavioral, interpersonal and affective components.Several authors have considered temperamental/personality traits to ...
Predicting cognitive development and early symptoms of autism spectrum disorder in preterm children : the value of temperament and sensory processing Universiteit Gent
Positive Association Between Limbic Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 Availability and Novelty-Seeking Temperament in Humans Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen KU Leuven
Heritable temperament traits have been linked to several neuropsychiatric illnesses, including disorders associated with metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) and dopaminergic dysfunctions. Considering its modulating effect on neurotransmission, we hypothesized that cerebral mGluR5 availability is associated with temperament traits in healthy humans.
METHODS: Forty-four nonsmoking healthy volunteers (mean age ± SD, 40 ± 14 y; age ...
Individual differences in local gray and white matter volumes reflect differences in temperament and character: a voxel-based morphometry study in healthy young females Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The psychobiological personality model of Cloninger distinguishes four heritable temperament traits (harm avoidance (HA), novelty seeking (NS), reward dependence (RD) and persistence (P)) and three character traits (self-directedness (SD), cooperativeness (CO) and self-transcendence (ST)) which develop during lifetime. Prior research already showed that individual differences in temperament are reflected in structural variances in specific brain ...
Temperament and character traits of female eating disorder patients with (out) non-suicidal self-injury Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven Universiteit Antwerpen
Eating disorder (ED) patients show alarmingly high prevalence rates of Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI). Adolescents seem to be particularly at risk, as EDs and NSSI both have their onset in mid-adolescence. It has been suggested that personality could be a transdiagnostic mechanism underlying both EDs and NSSI. However, little attention has been given to adolescent clinical samples compared to adult and/or community samples. Therefore, the ...
The relationship between non-suicidal self-injury and temperament in male and female adolescents based on child- and parent-report Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This study investigates differences in temperament dimensions between community adolescents with and without non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). Data were collected from 251 adolescents (62.9% females). NSSI was assessed by means of the Self-Harm Inventory (SHI; Sansone, Songer, & Sellbom, 2006) and temperament by means of the Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire-Revised (EATQ-R; Ellis & Rothbart, 2001) filled out by the adolescent ...
Depressive personality traits and temperament and character personality traits in a clinical sample : results from regression and network analyses Universiteit Gent
Personality and psychopathology are highly relevant and easily relatable constructs. The current study investi-gated the relationships between dependency and self-criticism, sociotropy and autonomy depressive personality traits, and Cloninger's temperament and character personality traits postulated as vulnerability factors for depression, in relation to depressive and general psychopathology symptoms in a clinical sample of 100 patients ...
