Optimism is linked to persistence and resilience in adults; however, how optimism might relate to children's evaluations of potentially challenging situations and risk-taking behaviors is unknown. This study examined the role of optimism in 4- to 8-year-old children's (N = 121) perceptions of and willingness to engage in physical activities that…

Weiss, David; Greve, Werner; Kunzmann, Ute – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Economic inequality has been consistently rising in recent decades in many Western countries including Germany. This is a pressing issue as greater economic inequality within a society has detrimental consequences for well-being, social stability, productivity, and even life expectancy. However, little is known about how individuals of different…

Although the functionalist perspective on emotional development posits that emotions serve adaptive functions, empirical tests of the role of anger mostly focus on how anger contributes to dysfunction. Developmentally, as children gain agency and skill at emotion regulation between the ages of 36 months and 48 months, their modulation of anger may…

Pearce, Ellie; Barreto, Manuela; Victor, Christina; Hammond, Claudia; Eccles, Alice M.; Richins, Matthew T.; O'Neil, Alisha; Knowles, Megan L.; Qualter, Pamela – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Previous experimental work showed that young adults reporting loneliness performed less well on emotion recognition tasks (Diagnostic Analysis of Nonverbal Accuracy [DANVA-2]) if they were framed as indicators of social aptitude, but not when the same tasks were framed as indexing academic aptitude. Such findings suggested that undergraduates…

Bachman, Noa; Palgi, Yuval; Bodner, Ehud – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Mindfulness and emotion regulation through music listening are skills that share some attributes with the skill of positive solitude (PS; defined as an inner choice to dedicate time to a meaningful, enjoyable activity or experience managed by oneself, with or without the presence of others). Nevertheless, little is known about their relationship…

Tsang, Vivian H. L.; Tse, Dwight C. K.; Chu, Li; Fung, Helene H.; Mai, Chunyan; Zhang, Hanyu – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Lack of social interaction is associated with a heightened sense of loneliness and, in turn, poorer psychological well-being. Despite the prevalence of communicating with others virtually even when physically alone, whether the social interaction--loneliness--well-being relationship is different between face-to-face and virtual interactions and…

Anni Tamm; Pirko Tõugu; Tiia Tulviste – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2024
The study aimed to find out which differences and similarities emerge in the self-concepts of early and late adolescents and young, middle-aged, and older adults. A total of 822 participants, including 530 adolescents aged 9-19 (over 50% were girls) and 292 adults aged 20-71 (over 80% were women), from Estonia provided their spontaneous…

Hawkley, Louise C.; Buecker, Susanne; Kaiser, Till; Luhmann, Maike – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Prior research in non-U.S. samples has found a complex nonlinear relationship between loneliness and age. This research has shown that established predictors of loneliness--poor health, being unmarried, living alone, and having infrequent social interactions--help to explain age differences in loneliness. However, while some variables were found…

Conte, Stefania; Brenna, Viola; Ricciardelli, Paola; Turati, Chiara – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2018
A large body of research has investigated both the emotional elaboration of facial stimuli in adults and the development of children's recognition of emotional expressions. Yet, it is still not clear whether children's ability to recognize an emotional face may be modulated by prior exposure to a different face, and whether an emotional expression…

Sillars, Angela A.; Davis, Elizabeth L. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2018
Three decades of research have examined children's challenge and threat appraisals, yet unresolved issues remain. This study provides new insight about three central, open questions in this field: How do challenge and threat appraisals relate to events eliciting discrete negative emotions? How do challenge appraisals develop across childhood, and…

Clear, Sarah J.; Zimmer-Gembeck, Melanie J.; Duffy, Amanda L.; Barber, Bonnie L. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2020
Drawing from dispositional mindfulness research and stress and coping theories, we tested whether adolescents' dispositional mindfulness was associated with perceptions of peer victimization and exclusion and internalizing symptoms. We further explored the role of dispositional mindfulness as a protective factor buffering the impact of peer…

This study advances the cross-cultural temperament literature by comparing temperament ratings of toddlers from 14 nations. Multilevel modeling (MLM) procedures were utilized to regress negative emotionality (NE) and component subscales on Hofstede's cultural value dimensions while controlling for age and gender. More individualistic values were…

Directional associations between civic engagement and happiness were explored with longitudinal data from a community sample surveyed four times from age 22 to 43 (n = 690). Autoregressive cross-lagged models, controlling for cross-time stabilities in happiness and civic engagement, examined whether happiness predicted future civic engagement,…

Pohling, Rico; Diessner, Rhett; Strobel, Anja – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2018
Experiencing the moral emotions of gratitude and moral elevation are responses to witnessing virtuous deeds of others. Both emotions have been found to share similar features and behavioral consequences, including the stimulation of personal development. The broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions indicates that gratitude and elevation…

Schabmann, Alfred; Gerger, Gernot; Schmidt, Barbara M.; Wögerer, Eva; Osipov, Igor; Leder, Helmut – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2016
Art is a unique feature of human experience. It involves the complex interplay among stimuli, persons and contexts. Little is known of how the various features deemed important in art appreciation depend on development, thus are already present at a young age. Similarly to our previous approach with adults of differing levels of expertise, the…
