Reschke, Peter J.; Fraser, Ashley M.; Picket, Janna; Workman, Katey; Lehnardt, Hans; Stockdale, Laura A.; Padilla-Walker, Laura M.; Cox, Kylin; Holmgren, Hailey G.; Hagen, Sophie; Summers, Kjersti; Clifford, Brandon N.; Essig, Liam W.; Coyne, Sarah M. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Infants can help and share in the second year of life. However, there is limited knowledge as to variability in these behaviors as a function of target (e.g., caregiver vs. unfamiliar adult) and the influence of caregiver support on infant prosocial behavior. Infants (N = 268, 124 female) at 1-2 years of age (M = 1.47, SD = 0.27) and again at 2-3…

This special issue consists of 20 articles that focus on issues related to Eisenberg and colleagues' (Eisenberg, Cumberland, & Spinrad, 1998; Eisenberg, Spinrad, & Cumberland, 1998) model of emotion socialization processes and its relevance for understanding a range of aspects of children's socioemotional functioning. The various papers…

Karras-Jean Gilles, Juliana; Astuto, Jennifer; Niwa, Erika; Ruck, Martin D. – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Little is known about how developmental experiences spanning early childhood through adolescence prepare children and youth to engage with society, and even less so for ethnically diverse Black children and youth. Building from work linking positive youth development (PYD) to civic engagement, this study examined how socialization trajectories…

Ugarte, Elisa; Liu, Siwei; Hastings, Paul D. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Biopsychosocial models of children's socioemotional development highlight the joint influences of physiological regulation and parenting practices. Both high and low levels of children's baseline respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) have been associated with children's maladjustment, indicative of nonlinear associations. Negative or unsupportive…

Plate, Rista C.; Shutts, Kristin; Cochrane, Aaron; Green, C. Shawn; Pollak, Seth D. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Children have a powerful ability to track probabilistic information, but there are also situations in which young learners simply follow what another person says or does at the cost of obtaining rewards. This latter phenomenon, sometimes termed bias to trust in testimony, has primarily been studied in children preschool-age and younger, presumably…

Frausel, Rebecca R.; Richland, Lindsey E.; Levine, Susan C.; Goldin-Meadow, Susan – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Personal narrative is decontextualized talk where individuals recount stories of personal experience about past or future events. As an everyday discursive speech type, narrative potentially invites parents and children to explicitly link together, generalize from, and make inferences about representations--that is, to engage in higher-order…

Forty Italian gay father families formed by surrogacy were compared with 40 Italian lesbian mother families formed by donor insemination, all with a child aged 3 to 9 years. Standardized interview, observational, and questionnaire measures of parenting quality, parent-child relationships, stigmatization, and children's adjustment were administered…

Williams, Chelsea D.; Bravo, Diamond Y.; Umaña-Taylor, Adriana J.; Updegraff, Kimberly A.; Jahromi, Laudan B.; Martinez-Fuentes, Stefanie; Elias, María de Jesus – Developmental Psychology, 2020
The current 3-generation (N = 204 families), 3-year longitudinal study examined the intergenerational transmission of cultural socialization among Mexican-origin young mothers and their own mothers (i.e., children's grandmothers) and, in turn, whether young mothers' cultural socialization informed their children's developmental competencies (i.e.,…

Goyal, Namrata; Wice, Matthew; Aladro, Alyson; Kallberg-Shroff, Malin; Miller, Joan G. – Developmental Psychology, 2019
The present three-study investigation examined cultural influences on the internalization of social expectations. Testing the claim of self-determination theory that lesser internalization of social expectations is linked to socialization practices that portray social expectations as in conflict with autonomy, in Study 1 we undertook a content…

Promoting children's prosocial behavior is a goal for parents, healthcare professionals, and nations. Does positive parenting promote later child prosocial behavior, or do children who are more prosocial elicit more positive parenting later, or both? Relations between parenting and prosocial behavior have to date been studied only in a narrow band…

Ng, Janice; Xiong, Yu; Qu, Yang; Cheung, Cecilia; Ng, Florrie Fei-Yin; Wang, Meifang; Pomerantz, Eva M. – Developmental Psychology, 2019
This research examined a cultural socialization model in which differences in Chinese and American parents' goals for children foster differences in children's emotional distress via parents' responses to children's performance. Chinese and American mothers and their children (N = 397; M[subscript age] = 13.19 years) participated in a 2-wave study…

Lavelli, Manuela; Carra, Cecilia; Rossi, Germano; Keller, Heidi – Developmental Psychology, 2019
Studies conducted in Western countries document the special role of mother--infant face-to-face exchanges for early emotional development including social smiling. A few cross-cultural studies have shown that the Western pattern of face-to-face communication is absent in traditional rural cultures, without identifying other processes that promote…

Zuffianò, Antonio; Colasante, Tyler; Buchmann, Marlis; Malti, Tina – Developmental Psychology, 2018
We assessed the extent to which feelings of sympathy and aggressive behaviors codeveloped from 6 to 12 years of age in a representative sample of Swiss children (N = 1,273). Caregivers and teachers reported children's sympathy and overt aggression in 3-year intervals. Second-order latent curve models indicated general mean-level declines in…

Shutts, Kristin; Kinzler, Katherine D.; DeJesus, Jasmine M. – Developmental Psychology, 2013
Developmental psychologists have devoted significant attention to investigating how children learn from others' actions, emotions, and testimony. Yet most of this research has examined children's socially guided learning about artifacts. The present article focuses on a domain that has received limited attention from those interested in the…

Roeser, Robert W.; Eccles, Jacquelynne S. – Developmental Psychology, 2015
Research on contemplative practices (e.g., mindfulness or compassion training) is growing rapidly in the clinical, health and neuro-sciences, but almost none of this research takes an explicitly developmental life span perspective. At present, we know rather little about the naturalistic development of mindfulness or compassion in children and…
