Gniewosz, Gabriela; Katstaller, Michaela; Gniewosz, Burkhard – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Parent-adolescent interactions can be very loving, although both parties might not always agree. The level of and discrepancy between ratings on parenting style are indicators for functioning within the family, affecting adolescents' psychological adjustment. This 4-year multiinformant study focuses on emotional warmth in parenting as a precursor…

Thompson, Morgan J.; Davies, Patrick T.; Hentges, Rochelle F.; Sturge-Apple, Melissa L.; Parry, Lucia Q. – Developmental Psychology, 2020
This study examined the moderating role of effortful control in the association between interparental conflict and externalizing problems in a diverse sample of preschool children (N = 243; M age = 4.60 years). Using a multimethod, multi-informant, prospective design, findings indicated that the relation between interparental conflict and…

Benson, Lizbeth; English, Tammy; Conroy, David E.; Pincus, Aaron L.; Gerstorf, Denis; Ram, Nilam – Developmental Psychology, 2019
Life span developmental theories suggest that as individuals age, they accumulate knowledge about how to deploy emotion regulation (ER) strategies effectively and learn how to match their ER strategy use with changes in situational demands. Using an event-contingent experience sampling design wherein 150 adults Age 18 to 89 years reported on…

Di Giunta, Laura; Rothenberg, W. Andrew; Lunetti, Carolina; Lansford, Jennifer E.; Pastorelli, Concetta; Eisenberg, Nancy; Thartori, Eriona; Basili, Emanuele; Favini, Ainzara; Yotanyamaneewong, Saengduean; Peña Alampay, Liane; Al-Hassan, Suha M.; Bacchini, Dario; Bornstein, Marc H.; Chang, Lei; Deater-Deckard, Kirby; Dodge, Kenneth A.; Oburu, Paul; Skinner, Ann T.; Sorbring, Emma; Steinberg, Laurence; Tapanya, Sombat; Uribe Tirado, Liliana Maria – Developmental Psychology, 2020
The present study examines parents' self-efficacy about anger regulation and irritability as predictors of harsh parenting and adolescent children's irritability (i.e., mediators), which in turn were examined as predictors of adolescents' externalizing and internalizing problems. Mothers, fathers, and adolescents (N = 1,298 families) from 12…

Holodynski, Manfred; Seeger, Dorothee – Developmental Psychology, 2019
For research on emotional development, defining emotions as psychological systems of appraisals, expressions, body reactions, and subjective feelings in all phases of ontogenesis raises tricky methodological issues. How can we measure single emotions when appraisals and feelings cannot be assessed from outside, when expressions do not seem to be…

Quiñones-Camacho, Laura E.; Davis, Elizabeth L. – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Certain psychopathologies are often linked to dysregulation of specific emotions (e.g., anxiety is associated with dysregulation of fear), but few studies have examined how regulatory repertoires for specific emotions (e.g., the strategies a person uses to regulate fear) relate to psychopathology, and fewer still have examined this in childhood. A…

Wainryb, Cecilia; Pasupathi, Monisha; Bourne, Stacia; Oldroyd, Kris – Developmental Psychology, 2018
The study's goals were twofold: (a) to examine the effectiveness of narrating an angry experience, compared with relying on distraction or mere reexposure to the experience, for anger reduction across childhood and adolescence, and (b) to identify the features of narratives that are associated with more and less anger reduction for younger and…

Park, Irene J. K.; Wang, Lijuan; Williams, David R.; Alegría, Margarita – Developmental Psychology, 2017
Although prior research has consistently documented the association between racial/ethnic discrimination and poor mental health outcomes, the mechanisms that underlie this link are still unclear. The present 3-wave longitudinal study tested the mediating role of anger regulation in the discrimination-mental health link among 269 Mexican-origin…

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…

Schirda, Brittney; Valentine, Thomas R.; Aldao, Amelia; Prakash, Ruchika Shaurya – Developmental Psychology, 2016
Increasing age is characterized by greater positive affective states. However, there is mixed evidence on the implementation of emotion regulation strategies across the life span. To clarify the discrepancies in the literature, we examined the modulating influence of contextual factors in understanding emotion regulation strategy use in older and…

Perry, Nicole B.; Mackler, Jennifer S.; Calkins, Susan D.; Keane, Susan P. – Developmental Psychology, 2014
A transactional model examining the longitudinal association between vagal regulation (as indexed by vagal withdrawal) and maternal sensitivity from age 2.5 to age 5.5 was assessed. The sample included 356 children (171 male, 185 female) and their mothers who participated in a laboratory visit at age 2.5, 4.5, and 5.5. Cardiac vagal tone was…

Cole, Pamela M.; Tan, Patricia Z.; Hall, Sarah E.; Zhang, Yiyun; Crnic, Keith A.; Blair, Clancy B.; Li, Runze – Developmental Psychology, 2011
Being able to wait is an essential part of self-regulation. In the present study, the authors examined the developmental course of changes in the latency to and duration of target-waiting behaviors by following 65 boys and 55 girls from rural and semirural economically strained homes from ages 18 months to 48 months. Age-related changes in latency…

Scrimgeour, Meghan B.; Davis, Elizabeth L.; Buss, Kristin A. – Developmental Psychology, 2016
Prosocial behavior in early childhood is a precursor to later adaptive social functioning. This investigation leveraged mother-reported, physiological, and observational data to examine children's prosocial development from age 2 to age 4 (N = 125). Maternal emotion socialization (ES) strategies and children's parasympathetic regulation have each…

Choe, Daniel Ewon; Lane, Jonathan D.; Grabell, Adam S.; Olson, Sheryl L. – Developmental Psychology, 2013
This prospective longitudinal study provides evidence of preschool-age precursors of hostile attribution bias in young school-age children, a topic that has received little empirical attention. We examined multiple risk domains, including laboratory and observational assessments of children's social-cognition, general cognitive functioning,…

Braungart-Rieker, Julia M.; Hill-Soderlund, Ashley L.; Karrass, Jan – Developmental Psychology, 2010
Two goals guided this study: (a) describe changes in infant fear and anger reactivity from 4 to 16 months and (b) examine the degree to which infant temperament, attentional regulation, and maternal sensitivity predict reactivity trajectories. Participants included 143 mothers and infants (57% male) who visited the laboratory at 4, 8, 12, and 16…
