We also tested the role of life stress as a moderator of the link between early anger and the development of behavior problems. Although traditional measures of…

Spaeth, Michael; Weichold, Karina; Silbereisen, Rainer K. – Developmental Psychology, 2015
The literature proposes that leisure boredom may systematically increase during adolescence. Moreover, some authors assume that this hypothesized developmental trend is associated with increases in youthful delinquency and depression. Individual dispositions (e.g., temperamental disinhibition) are believed to exacerbate the relationship between…

Pluess, Michael; Belsky, Jay – Developmental Psychology, 2010
Research on differential susceptibility to rearing suggests that infants with difficult temperaments are disproportionately affected by parenting and child care quality, but a major U.S. child care study raises questions as to whether quality of care influences social adjustment. One thousand three hundred sixty-four American children from…
