[Common Risk Factors of Depressive and Anxiety Symptomatics in Childhood and Adolescence: A Systematic Review from Transdiagnostic Perspectives]. / Gemeinsame Risikofaktoren von depressiver und ängstlicher Symptomatik im Kindes- und Jugendalter: ein systematisches Review aus transdiagnostischer Perspektive.

Common causes of mental disorders are revealed by transdiagnostic perspectives. In this context, based on the study of Epkins and Heckler, the present study investigates common risk factors in depressive and anxiety symptomatics of children and adolescents. In a systematic literature search between 2012 and 2014, 35 studies were identified which demonstrated 44 common risk factors in internalising symptomatics in childhood and adolescence. Female gender, the onset of puberty, compliance with chronic illness, increased stress experience of children and mothers, negative parenting, misuse or rejective experiences in peers are evident factors in the developmental psychopathology of depression and anxiety disorders in childhood or adolescence. These common risk factors suggest a similar treatment of these diseases.

[The validity of the SET 5-10 (language level test for children aged between five and ten years): first analyses]. / Die Validität des Sprachstandserhebungstests für fünf- bis zehnjährige Kinder (SET 5-10): Erste Analysen.

INTRODUCTION: No other child developmental domain is as frequently affected by disorders as language acquisition. The SET 5-10 (language level test for children aged between 5 and 10 years), was developed to assess specific language disorders. OBJECTIVE: This study examines the ability of the SET 5-10 to differentiate between the developmental increases of speech competence, present deficits resulting from previous speech deficits and the probability of assessing possible speech deficits of children with an immigrant background. METHODS: Based on data of the norm sample (n=1,052; 51.8% female) different cohorts (age-groups, children with speech impairment problems and children with immigrant background) are compared by Multivariate analysis of variance. RESULTS: In all subtests a steady increase of performance with increasing age could be found. The means of children with previous grammar deficits (n=46) and children with immigrant background (n=143) are significantly lower than those of the reference group. CONCLUSION: The results presented offer first proof of a differentiated and economic diagnosis of language achievement of children 5-10 years of age.
