Qinxin Shi; Jonathan E. Butner; Robyn Kilshaw; Ascher Munion; Pascal Deboeck; Yoonkyung Oh; Cynthia A. Berg – Grantee Submission, 2023
Developmental researchers commonly utilize longitudinal data to decompose reciprocal and dynamic associations between repeatedly measured constructs to better understand the temporal precedence between constructs. Although the cross-lagged panel model (CLPM) is commonly used in developmental research, it has been criticized for its potential to…

Knight, Hunter – Global Studies of Childhood, 2019
What would it mean to center theories of the child around those who are evacuated from childhood?

In this essay, I explore how the problem child illuminates colonial entanglements between childhood…

Heylen, Joke; Vasey, Michael W.; Dujardin, Adinda; Vandevivere, Eva; Braet, Caroline; De Raedt, Rudi; Bosmans, Guy – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2017
Based on former research, it can be assumed that attachment relationships provide a context in which children develop both the effortful control (EC) capacity and the repertoire of responses to regulate distress. Both are important to understand children's (mal)adjustment. While the latter assumption has been supported in several studies, less is…

Madigan, Sheri; Atkinson, Leslie; Laurin, Kristin; Benoit, Diane – Developmental Psychology, 2013
Empirical research supporting the contention that insecure attachment is related to internalizing behaviors has been inconsistent. Across 60 studies including 5,236 families, we found a significant, small to medium effect size linking insecure attachment and internalizing behavior (observed d = 0.37, 95% CI [0.27, 0.46]; adjusted d = 0.19, 95% CI…

Kelly, Peter – Journal of Youth Studies, 2012
This article suggests that ideas about adolescent brains and their development increasingly function as powerful truths in making sense of young people. In this context, the knowledge practices of the neurosciences and evolutionary and developmental psychology are deemed capable of producing what we have come to understand as the evidence on which…

Bierman, Karen L. – Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology, 2011
Peers influence children's social-emotional development and school engagement in important and unique ways. Recent research on peer social networks documents that children are affected by the nature of the school-based peer ecology, as well as by their personal peer experiences. Yet, little is known about how teachers affect the peer ecology, nor…

Kirkcaldy, B. D.; Furnham, A. F.; Siefen, R. G. – School Psychology International, 2010
The incidence of "pure" obsessive-compulsive disorders in the clinical population was found to be around 1.2 percent for a clinical sample record--stretching over a 2.5-year period--of around 2500 adolescents in a German child and adolescent psychiatry clinic. Over a 3-month period (time-frame) a sample of 350 new entries to the clinic…
