How can we describe a hard interaction without turning it into a label for the child?
The focus here is caregiver stress and warmth in families of young people with limited prosocial emotions.
Who was studied?
126 young people with a conduct-disorder diagnosis, averaging almost 16 years
Age / stage: Adolescence
Read with three questions
- How did the authors investigate caregiver stress and warmth in families of young people with limited prosocial emotions?
- What other family or child characteristics could account for the observed pattern?
- How did the multi-rater assessment of limited prosocial emotions differ from a parent’s report of stress?
Keep the limits in view
Participants had a conduct-disorder diagnosis. Their experiences do not define what limited emotional expression means in the wider adolescent population.
