Maternal depression is a global public health concern with far-reaching impacts on child development, yet our understanding of mechanisms remains incomplete. This study examined whether parenting mediates the association between maternal depression and child outcomes. Participants included 841 rural Pakistani mother-child dyads (50% female).…

Rosa S. Wong; Keith T. S. Tung; Ka Man Yim; Ko Ling Chan; Patrick Ip – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2024
Early childbearing is associated with high maternal stress and family violence. However, the long-term effects of rapid repeat pregnancy (RRP) in young motherhood on child outcomes remain largely unknown. This study examined the pathways between maternal RRP at young ages and child psychosocial problems and emergency room visits in later years. A…

Barbara A. Morrongiello; Amanda Cox; Lindsay Bryant – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2024
Unintentional injury represents a significant health threat to children, and infancy marks a particularly vulnerable stage. This multi-method study (questionnaire, diary) measured parents' (N = 143) use of three popular home-safety practices (teaching about safety, environment modification to reduce access to hazards, supervision) and child injury…

Rui Li; Zong Meng; Yueqin Hu – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2025
Childhood is a critical period for the development of prosocial behavior, and the family serves as a crucial microsystem for fostering prosocial behavior in children. Prior research has indicated that parental monitoring, a specific family factor directly targeting children, can predict children's prosocial behavior. However, the influence of the…

Katja Liebal; Manuela Ersson-Lembeck; Federica Amici; Martin Schultze; Manfred Holodynski – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2024
The component model of human parenting has been extensively used to study parents' interactions with their offspring and to examine variation across cultural contexts. The current study applies this model to nonhuman primates to investigate which forms of parenting humans share with other primates and how these interactions change over infants'…

Ioannis Katsantonis; Ros McLellan – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2024
This study examined the association between internalizing and externalizing mental health and prosociality across four developmental transitions. The effects of parent-child interactions on mental health and prosociality were also explored. The data from a community sample of 10,703 children on mental health, prosociality, child maltreatment,…

Chao Liu; Kira Waltz – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2024
The interaction between a mother and child stands as one of the most profound and intricate human connections, weaving a rich tapestry of behavioral and emotional bonds during the formative years. Although mother-child interactions have received substantial attention in the developmental science literature, few studies have tapped into the…

Harris, Paul L. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2023
Given the legacy of John Bowlby, Attachment theory has often portrayed separation from a caregiver as likely to provoke protest, despair, and ultimately detachment in infants and young children. Indeed, the emotional challenge of separation is built into a key measurement tool of Attachment theory, the Strange Situation. However, James Robertson,…

Abimpaye, Monique; Dusabe, Caroline; Nzabonimpa, Jean Providence; Ashford, Richard; Pisani, Lauren – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2020
It is well known that the first 1,000 days of life have long-lasting impact on a child's cognitive, language, socio-emotional, and physical development, but there is little evidence from Rwanda about how to maximize parent-child interactions during these critical early years. Save the Children piloted the First Steps "Intera za Mbere"…

Altenburger, Lauren E.; Schoppe-Sullivan, Sarah J. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2021
Maternal gatekeeping is characterized by the extent to which mothers engage in behaviors that ultimately serve to inhibit (i.e., gate close) or encourage (i.e., gate open) father involvement in childrearing. This study considered direct and indirect associations between observed and reported maternal gatekeeping and children's social-emotional…

Marissa Hofstee; Ruben G. Fukkink; Joyce Endendijk; Jorg Huijding; Bauke van der Velde; Maja Dekovic – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2025
Given the substantial increase in children attending center-based childcare over the past decades, the consequences of center-based childcare for children's development have gained more attention in developmental research. However, the relation between center-based childcare and children's neurocognitive development remains relatively…

Dai, Qian; McMahon, Catherine; Lim, Ai Keow – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2020
Evidence suggests that parental mind-mindedness is important for children's social-emotional development; however, almost all research exploring mind-mindedness has been conducted with families from Western backgrounds. The current study explored cross-cultural differences in mind-mindedness based on observed real-time interactions between urban…

Lunkenheimer, Erika; Dunning, Emily D.; Diercks, Catherine M.; Kelm, Madison R. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2023
Media use and screen time show both positive and negative effects on child development. Parents' behaviors, perceptions, and regulation of parent and child screen-based device (SBD) use may be critical understudied factors in explaining these mixed effects. We developed the Parent Screen-Based Device Use Survey (PSUS) to assess parental use of…

Telias, Amanda; Narea, Marigen; Abufhele, Alejandra – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Maternal education is associated with early child outcomes. However, the several mechanisms that may explain this relationship remain underexplored. Using data from 1,097 children aged 12-15 months in Chile, we estimate the maternal education gap across child cognitive and language outcomes. Following a bioecological perspective, we explore…

Narea, Marigen; Cumsille, Patricio; Allel, Kasim – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
There are contrasting results of the association between center-based care attendance and child development, mainly related to how the time of entry and permanence in the program relates to developmental outcomes. Using latent class analysis in a nationally representative sample of Chilean children between 6 and 35 months old (n = 3,992), and…
