Article Abstract
The science of developmental psychopathology has made outstanding progress over the past 40 years in understanding adaptive and maladaptive developmental processes across the life span. Yet most of this work has been researcher driven with little involvement of community partners in the research process, limiting the potential public health significance of our work. To continue to advance the field we must move beyond the physical and conceptual walls of our research laboratories and into the real world. In this article, we define and describe the importance of community-engaged research, and present our overarching principles for engaging the community including practicing respect, shared power and decision-making, prioritizing the needs of the community, and engaging in consistent and transparent communication. We present several associated recommendations for best practice and highlight examples from our own research that is grounded in a developmental psychopathology perspective to illustrate these practices. Recommendations for the future of the discipline of development and psychopathology, with emphasis on training and continuing education, are described.

How are children's perceptions of the home environment associated with a general psychopathology factor across childhood?
J Child Psychol Psychiatry

Background: Comorbidity and heterogeneity in psychiatric disorders may stem from a general psychopathology (p) factor influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Although the relative contributions of these influences on psychopathology are established, the longitudinal associations between the p-factor and specific environmental exposures and the aetiology of these associations across development are not well understood. Here, we examine whether twin-rated home environment contributes to changes in the p-factor over time or, conversely, whether the p-factor influences twin-rated home environment, reflecting potential evocative gene-environment processes.

Psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) -subclinical experiences or symptoms that resemble psychosis, such as hallucinations and delusional thoughts-often emerge during adolescence and are predictive of serious psychopathology. Understanding PLEs during adolescence is crucial due to co-occurring developmental changes in neural reward systems that heighten the risk for psychotic-related and affective psychopathology, especially in those with a family history of severe mental illness (SMI). We examined associations among PLEs, clinical symptoms, and neural reward function during this critical developmental period.

Taxonomic models of psychopathology and personality share striking similarities, but lines of research are often conducted independently. Integrating the two frameworks facilitates the inclusion of important constructs that are commonly overlooked in traditional models of psychopathology, but there is not yet consensus on the best joint factor structure (e.g.

Unlabelled: This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesize current research on interoception in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) across the lifespan. A total of 31 studies meeting stringent inclusion and quality criteria were identified, incorporating both descriptive and numerical analyses of cardiac interoceptive accuracy (cIA), interoceptive sensibility (IS), and interoceptive awareness (IAW) in children, adolescents, and adults with ASD. The meta-analysis of five adult studies using comparable assessment tools found no significant differences in cIA between adults with ASD and neurotypically developed (NTD) controls [ = 5; = -.
