Child testimonies during an outbreak of witch hysteria: Sweden 1670-1671

Article Abstract:

The results of the eight hundred and nine testimonies given by children between the ages of 1 to 16 during an outbreak of witch hysteria in Sweden in 1670-1671 indicated that the capacity to distinguish reality from fantasy and to deliver stereotyped testimonies are related to age, social influence from peers and sex. These factors were more profound in younger age groups. It is suggested that the testimonies were influenced by those doing the investigation.

Child ADHD and personality/temperament traits of reactive and effortful control, resiliency, and emotionality

Article Abstract:

Primary symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) such as inattentive disorganized and hyperactive-impulsive behaviors and their relationship to key personality and temperament domains are investigated. Results suggest that low levels of Reactive Control lead to high levels of hyperactivity-impulsivity, and low levels of Resiliency or Effortful Control are related to high levels of inattention.
