Guilt in Young Children: Development, Determinants, and Relations with a Broader System of Standards.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kochanska, Grazyna; Gross, Jami N.; Lin, Mei-Hua; Nichols, Kate E. – Child Development, 2002
Examined early development of guilt in 106 children observed in laboratory paradigms in which they were led to believe they had damaged valuable objects during 2 sessions at 22, 33, and 45 months. Found support for a mediational model in which fearful temperament contributed to guilt proneness, which served to inhibit children's tendency to…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lockman, Jeffrey J. – Child Development, 2000
Maintains that advances in the literature on perception-action development suggests that tool use may be a more continuous developmental achievement than previously believed. Suggests new research directions, including efforts to investigate the processes by which children detect and relate affordances between objects, coordinate spatial frames of…

The Structure of Achievement and Behavior across Middle Childhood.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kowaleski-Jones, Lori; Duncan, Greg J. – Child Development, 1999
Used data from National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to model developmental trajectories across middle childhood. Found that individual trajectories were extremely diverse in level and sometimes in slope. Compared to girls, boys had heterogeneous slopes for math and behavior problems. Compared to boys, girls showed a significantly higher degree of…

Parents' Attributions for Their Children's Behavior.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Miller, Scott A. – Child Development, 1995
Reviews research on the determinants and the effects of parents' attributions. The evidence suggests that parents do form attributions for their children's behavior; these attributions vary in predictable ways across judges (mothers versus fathers), targets (age or sex of child), and behavior outcomes (positive or negative); and attributions…

Continuity and Change in Levels of Externalizing Behavior in School of Children from Economically Disadvantaged Families.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ackerman, Brian P.; Brown, Eleanor; Izard, Carroll E. – Child Development, 2003
Identified groups of economically disadvantaged children showing high externalizing behavior in first grade that persisted (persistent) or decreased (improver) in third grade, or low first- grade levels that were stable (unproblematic) or increased (new problem) in third grade. Found that verbal ability, behavioral impulsivity, parent…
