Abstract Based on parent and teacher ratings of their children, this study used regularized partial correlation network analysis (EBIC glasso) to examine the structure of DSM-5 Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) symptoms. Parent and teachers (N = 934) from the general community in Malaysia completed questionnaires covering DSM-5 ODD symptoms. The most central ODD symptom for parent ratings was anger, followed by argue. For teacher ratings, it was anger, followed by defy. For both parent and teacher ratings, the networks revealed at least medium effect size connections for temper and argue, defy and argue, blames others and annoy, and spiteful and angry. Overall, the findings were highly comparable across parent and teacher ratings, and they showed a novel understanding of the structure of the ODD symptoms. The clinical implications of the findings for assessment and treatment of ODD are discussed.

Abstract The current study evaluates the concurrent relationship between parent ratings of executive functioning and maladaptive behavior among children and adolescents with Down syndrome and then repeats this evaluation using teacher reports. Parents and teachers of 63 school-age children with Down syndrome rated the child's executive functioning (Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function) and behaviors (Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist). For parent and teacher ratings, elevated behavior dysregulation predicted higher levels of rule-breaking, aggressive, and externalizing behavior. For teacher ratings, elevated behavior dysregulation also predicted higher levels of inattention problems. Among both parent and teacher ratings, greater metacognitive difficulties predicted challenges with attention. Understanding the relationship between these constructs has important implications for targets of intervention and developing preventative strategies.

Abstract Objective Extremely preterm children and those with a history of perinatal insult (e.g., hemorrhage, hypoxic-ischemic injury) show higher rates of cognitive and academic problems, including executive functioning (EF). EF becomes increasingly important in elementary school as curriculum demands increase. The current study examines the relationship between parent- and teacher-reported EF and early academic performance in this population at school-age. Method This study reviewed retrospective neuropsychological evaluations in a sample of 135 patients (ages 3:9-10:5 years, M = 5.8) from an outpatient neurodevelopmental follow-up program for children with perinatal complication. Parent and teacher measures included: Behavior Assessment Scale for Children (BASC-2, 3) and Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Functioning (BRIEF, P, 2). Standardized child measures included: Bracken School Readiness (BBCS-III), and subtests from Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT-III) and Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing (CTOPP-2). Results BRIEF parent ratings of working memory (p = 0.34) and emotional control (p = .025) were negatively correlated with school readiness. BRIEF teacher inhibition and working memory ratings were negatively correlated with math performance (p = .004 to p = .044), as well as rapid naming (p = .002 to p = .047) and school readiness (p = .048). BRIEF teacher ratings of planning/organization (p = .027), shifting (p = .024), and emotional control (p = .010) were negatively correlated with pre-reading measures. A 95% confidence interval was used. Conclusions Parent and teacher ratings of EF were significantly correlated with measures of academic readiness, early math skill, and pre-reading measures in this sample of children with a history of perinatal complications. Caregiver ratings can be useful in identifying children at-risk for academic problems upon school entry and requiring further neuropsychological evaluation.
