Unlabelled: The present study examines the potential of the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) as a measure for the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTop) model. Two structural models were evaluated. In Model 1, the SCL-90-R dimensions were allocated to somatoform (comprising somatization), internalizing (comprising obsessive-compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, and phobic anxiety), and antagonistic disinhibited (comprising hostility) spectra. Model 2 included an additional detachment spectrum (comprising paranoid ideation and psychoticism).

Method: A total of 1594 adolescents [52.2% boys; age ranged from 14 to 17 years; mean age () = 16.04 years (0.737 years)] from the general community in Athens completed the SCL-90-R and the Funf-Faktoren-Fragebogen fur Kinder (FFFK). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to validate the proposed models.

Results: The findings supported Model 1, demonstrating adequate global fit, salient and significant factor loadings, discriminant validity, reliability, and external validity of the factors.

Conclusions: These results indicate that the SCL-90-R scales of somatization, obsessive-compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, and phobic anxiety are appropriate measures for the corresponding HiTop dimensions. However, the scales for paranoid ideation and psychoticism were not suitable for this purpose. The theoretical contributions and conclusions are discussed, highlighting the implications of these findings for the clinical and theoretical application of the SCL-90-R in psychopathological assessment and research.

Early childhood development is profoundly influenced by parent-child interactions, with recent research emphasizing the crucial role fathers play alongside mothers. Paternal involvement, especially in caregiving activities like feeding, positively impacts children's cognitive, emotional, and social development. However, paternal depressive symptoms can hinder the quality of these interactions, potentially leading to long-term behavioral and emotional difficulties in children.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore the diversity of Feeding and Eating Disorders (FED) by examining how different symptoms and personality issues overlap, proposing that current classifications might not fully capture the complexity of these disorders.
  • Researchers used Latent Profile Analysis on 109 patients, identifying three distinct profiles: low symptoms with no personality issues, high symptoms without dysfunction, and high symptoms with dysfunctional personality traits.
  • Results showed noteworthy differences in BMI, eating disorder severity, and psychiatric diagnoses among these profiles, indicating that the most complex cases suffered the most severe symptoms and related issues, challenging traditional diagnostic categories.
