Filter by:Emotion recognition and regulation are necessary skills for social interaction. Disrupted development of these processes severely interferes with socio-emotional development. These difficulties are commonly reported in patients with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Conduct Disorder (CD), with the subsequent social/interpersonal difficulties. The available evidence suggest that impaired emotion regulation processes might underlie the aggressive behaviours frequently observed in both disorders. However, no study has yet investigated the presence of disorder-specific characteristics on emotion processing between these two disorders. Different impaired emotion recognition difficulties may underlie the reported emotion dysregulation. A practical implication of this is that given that both disorders have shown difficulties during emotion recognition processes, a short, computer-based intervention to improve emotion recognition might benefit both cases, even though their aetiologies might differ.
This study aims to uncover mechanisms of action underlying any long-term change in youth antisocial behavior by considering the role of child and family characteristics as mediators and moderators of change. The study design is qualitative interviews to be conducted face-to-face with parents of children previously diagnosed with Conduct Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) but no longer meet diagnostic criteria. Questions will be asked to understand participants' parenting experience over time (before, during and after their children's treatment).
