Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology brings together current and innovative research that advances knowledge of psychopathology from infancy through adolescence.
The externalizing psychopathology spectrum during childhood and adolescence is highly prevalent; however, current understanding is predominantly founded on cross-sectional research or conventional longitudinal research with retrospective reporting or long-term intervals. Intensive longitudinal data offer the unique opportunity to examine short-term developmental processes and dynamics, their changes over the long-term, as well as links with long-term developmental outcomes. This Special Issue brings together a selection of original and rigorous empirical papers, using innovative statistical modeling techniques, to demonstrate the unique and value-added benefits of intensive longitudinal data for investigating various dimensions of the externalizing psychopathology spectrum during childhood and adolescence. Overall aims of the Special Issue include (a) demonstrating the state-of-the-art knowledge gleaned through intensive longitudinal data, and (b) providing a theoretical discussion of the implications of these data and corresponding analytic techniques for understanding the development of externalizing psychopathology spectrum across different timescales.

Yao Zheng, PhD
Dr. Zheng is an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Alberta. His research focuses on the development and prevention of child and adolescent behavioral and emotional problems with the ultimate goal of informing intervention to promote well-being. Specifically, he investigates the influences of family and peer processes that shape normal and atypical development at multiple levels of analysis (e.g., genetic, psychological, behavioral) and timescales (e.g., days, years) in various ecological contexts (e.g., family, culture) using innovative quantitative methodology. -
Natalie Goulter, PhD
Dr. Goulter is a Lecturer in the School of Psychology at Newcastle University. Her research aims to (a) examine measurement and modeling (across timescales) techniques of externalizing psychopathology and callous-unemotional (CU) traits (deficient affect, callous lack of empathy); (b) characterize early etiological profiles contributing to the development of externalizing psychopathology and CU traits; (c) understand biological correlates in the development and maintenance of externalizing psychopathology and CU traits, focusing on neuroendocrine and neuroimmune systems; (d) inform and evaluate clinical preventive and intervention efforts.
