The child behavioural checklist (CBCL) was developed by Achenbach (2001) as part of a battery of assessments to detect behavioural and emotional problems in children and adolescents. The CBCL is composed of 113 questions reflecting eight syndrome scales. Extreme scores on the syndrome scales anxious/depressed, attention problems and aggressive behaviours (AAA scale) capture an important behavioural profile: the dysregulation profile (DP), a behavioural phenotype characterised by severe difficulties in affective, behavioural and cognitive self-regulation (Althoff et al., 2010; Biederman et al., 2012). The DP is related to biopsychosocial risk factors and psychiatric outcomes (Aebi et al., 2020; Althoff et al., 2010; Biederman et al., 2012; Deutz et al., 2018; Dolitzsch et al., 2018; Holtmann et al., 2011; Thompson et al., 2011; Wang et al., 2018). However, the literature on the DP is missing a description of the functional outcomes related to the profile in the domains of educational and occupational attainment. Critically, factor structure models of DP have confirmed the notion that DP is an underlying syndrome that independently relates to behaviours observed in children and adolescents. Therefore, although DP strongly predicts a range of psychiatric disorders, DP does not necessitate their presence. Rather, it is a developmental risk factor for such outcomes. Since, it is possible to be classified by the DP but not develop a psychiatric disorder, it is important that research address non-clinical outcomes related to the profile. In a large longitudinal sample of adolescents, this research aims to identify the DP based on CBCL scores, at time one, and relate group membership to functional outcomes, 10 years later. |
