The Relationship

We review the state of evidence supporting a link between violent media exposure in preschool- aged children and subsequent well-being outcomes. We searched through four decades (1971–2011) of literature for enlightening details on the relationship between early exposure to media violence and health outcomes in later childhood and adolescence. Evidence suggests that preschool exposure may be linked to increased aggression and self-regulation problems. Results are discussed in the context of displacement, social cognitive and overstimulation theories. We recommend increasing efforts towards developing guidelines for families and professionals concerned with the well-being of children.

Care Approach

This chapter analyzes the self-identity, with reference to social inclusion, of the young people in care in their transition to adulthood and the possibility of independent living. It focuses on how the various aspects of social inclusion during childhood and young adult years might affect their identity. In addition to the usual dynamic identity formation of teenagers, young people leaving care also negotiate the shedding of an identity as someone in the care of the state and the acquiring of an identity as an independent young adult. These processes have important policy implications because they imply that transition to independence of children in state care requires a care approach and environment that are supportive to positive identity formation during childhood and adolescence.

Hydroxylase Deficiency

A previously described phenotypically female 46,XY-individual with 1 7,20-desmolase deficiency was followed from adolescence to adulthood. While at age 16.9 years her 1 7α-hydroxylating capacity was normal and steroids not hydroxylated in position 17 low, decreasing 1 7α-hydroxylated and increasing unhydroxylated steroids were observed thereafter up to the age of 25.2 years. Simultaneously with the steroid changes, previously normal blood pressure (110/80 mmHg) increased (180/130 mmHg). Since 17α-hydroxylation and 17,20-desmolase activity are regulated by one cytochrome P450-17α, it is concluded that, in this same patient, 1 7α-hydroxylase activity was normal during childhood and adolescence, but decreased in the young adult. 1 7,20-desmolase activity, by contrast, was completely absent already in the fetus, causing absence of masculinization. The factors modulating this difference in cytochrome P450-17α activity with age are as yet unknown.
