George B. Richardson; Daniel Bates; Amy Ross; Hexuan Liu; Brian B. Boutwell – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Many developmental theories have not been sufficiently evaluated using designs that control for unobserved familial confounds. Our long-term goal is to determine the causal structure underlying associations between early environmental conditions and later psychosocial and health outcomes. Our overall objective in this study was to further evaluate…

Psyridou, Maria; Torppa, Minna; Tolvanen, Asko; Poikkeus, Anna-Maija; Lerkkanen, Marja-Kristiina; Koponen, Tuire – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The aim of the present study was to examine the kinds of developmental profiles of arithmetic fluency skills that can be identified across Grades 1-9 (ages 7-16) in a large Finnish sample (n = 2,518). The study also examined whether membership in the developmental profiles could be predicted using a comprehensive set of kindergarten-age factors,…

Lecarie, Emma K.; Doane, Leah D.; Stroud, Catherine B.; Walter, Devan; Davis, Mary C.; Grimm, Kevin J.; Lemery-Chalfant, Kathryn – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Early life stress, daily life experiences, and the stress responsive hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis have each been examined as predictors of the development of psychopathology. Rarely have researchers attempted to understand the covariation or interaction among these stress domains using a longitudinal design in the prediction of…

Santiago, Catherine DeCarlo; Jolie, Sarah A.; Bustos, Yvita; Distel, Laura M. L. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Family is an important context for the development of adaptive child coping. Further, both family and child coping can promote positive mental health. This study examines whether family coping predicts child coping over 1 year among Mexican-origin immigrant families. Participants included 104 families with a child aged 6-10 years (M[subscript age]…

Havron, Naomi; Lovcevic, Irena; Kee, Michelle Z. L.; Chen, Helen; Chong, Yap Seng; Daniel, Mary; Broekman, Birit F. P.; Tsuji, Sho – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Previous literature has shown that family structure affects language development. Here, factors relating to older siblings (their presence in the house, sex, and age gap), mothers (maternal stress), and household size and residential crowding were assessed to systematically examine the different roles of these factors. Data from mother-child dyads…

Van Lissa, Caspar J.; Keizer, Renske – Developmental Psychology, 2020
This longitudinal study of Australian families (n = 1,884, from age 6-12) examined how fathers' and mothers' quantitative involvement (time spent on childcare) and qualitative involvement (specific parenting behaviors) relate to children's emotional adjustment development. We used dynamic structural equation modeling to disentangle stable…

Johnson, Matthew D.; Galambos, Nancy L.; Krahn, Harvey J. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
This study examined how family context at age 18 (parent-adolescent conflict, parental support, parent education) predicted between-person variation in subjective well-being (SWB; depressive symptoms and self-esteem) trajectories from age 18 to 50 years. Timing of leaving home, getting married, and becoming a parent were explored as life…

Davies, Patrick T.; Parry, Lucia Q.; Bascoe, Sonnette M.; Cicchetti, Dante; Cummings, E. Mark – Developmental Psychology, 2020
This study examined interparental conflict as a linear and curvilinear predictor of subsequent changes in adolescents' negative emotional reactivity and cortisol functioning during family conflict and, in turn, their psychological difficulties. In addition, adolescents' negative emotional reactivity and cortisol functioning during family conflict…

Shin, So Yeon; McCoy, Dana Charles – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Whereas previous research has examined the role that parenting and home environments play in explaining the relation between family socioeconomic status and children's language development in the United States, relatively little is known about the associations between these constructs in other cultures. This study tested an integrated model of…

Simpkins, Sandra D.; Tulagan, Nestor; Lee, Glona; Ma, Ting-Lan; Zarrett, Nicole; Vandell, Deborah Lowe – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Children's work habits at school include being a hard worker, turning in work on time, following classroom rules, and putting forward one's best effort. Models on youth character, noncognitive skills, and social-emotional learning suggest that self-management skills like work habits are critical for individuals' subsequent academic success. Using…

Koepp, Andrew E.; Watts, Tyler W.; Gershoff, Elizabeth T.; Ahmed, Sammy F.; Davis-Kean, Pamela; Duncan, Greg J.; Kuhfeld, Megan; Vandell, Deborah L. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
This study is a conceptual replication of a widely cited study by Moffitt et al. (2011) which found that attention and behavior problems in childhood (a composite of impulsive hyperactive, inattentive, and impulsive-aggressive behaviors labeled "self-control") predicted adult financial status, health, and criminal activity. Using data…

Lecheile, Bridget M.; Spinrad, Tracy L.; Xu, Xiaoye; Lopez, Jamie; Eisenberg, Nancy – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Previous research has shown that home environment plays an important role in children's early language skills. Yet, few researchers have examined the unique role of family-level factors (socioeconomic status [SES], household chaos) on children's learning or focused on the longitudinal processes that might explain their relations to children's…

Wertz, Jasmin; Belsky, Jay; Moffitt, Terrie E.; Belsky, Daniel W.; Harrington, HonaLee; Avinun, Reut; Poulton, Richie; Ramrakha, Sandhya; Caspi, Avshalom – Developmental Psychology, 2019
Twin studies have documented that parenting behavior is partly heritable, but it is unclear how parents' genetics shape their caregiving. Using tools of molecular genetics, the present study investigated this process by testing hypotheses about associations between a genome-wide polygenic score for educational attainment and parental caregiving in…

Martin, Meredith J.; Sturge-Apple, Melissa L.; Davies, Patrick T.; Romero, Christine V. – Developmental Psychology, 2017
This study examined the consequences of negative change in mothers' implicit appraisals of their adolescents after engaging in a family disagreement. Participants included 194 mothers and their early adolescents (M[subscript age] = 12.4 at Wave 1; 50% female) followed over 1 year. Mothers' implicit appraisals of her child as "unlovable"…

Jambon, Marc; Madigan, Sheri; Plamondon, André; Jenkins, Jennifer – Developmental Psychology, 2019
Research has documented various family and individual risk factors associated with severe conduct problems, but little is known about the developmental origins of children who engage in both aggressive and prosocial interactions with others. The present study utilized growth-mixture modeling to identify distinct trajectories of physical aggression…
