Karen Man Wa Kwan; Sylvia Yun Shi; Laura N. MacMullin; A. Natisha Nabbijohn; Diana E. Peragine; Doug P. VanderLaan; Wang Ivy Wong – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Children show less positivity toward gender-nonconforming (GN) than gender-conforming (GC) peers. Yet, little is known about children's reasoning about peers of varying gender expressions, including age-, gender-, and culture-related influences. We investigated how children aged 4- to 5- and 8- to 9-years-old in Hong Kong and Canada (N = 678)…

Eric S. Cerino; Susan T. Charles; Jacqueline Mogle; Jonathan Rush; Jennifer R. Piazza; Laura M. Klepacz; Margie E. Lachman; David M. Almeida – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Perceived control is an important psychosocial resource for health and well-being across the lifespan. Global control (i.e., overall perceived control) decreases over time in studies following people every few years to upwards of 10 years. Changes across wider intervals of the lifespan, however, have yet to be examined. Further, how perceived…

Kristine J. Ajrouch; Rita Xiaochen Hu; Noah J. Webster; Toni C. Antonucci – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Friends are a vital source of social relations throughout the lifespan and across developmental stages. Our knowledge of how friendships develop over time, especially from childhood through adulthood, is limited. Furthermore, it is now recognized that this specific type of relationship influences health across the life course in unique ways. Using…

Alto, Alix T.; Mandalaywala, Tara M. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Gender and age are salient social categories from early in development. However, whether children's beliefs about gender and age intersect, such that gender stereotypes might be expressed differently when asked about children (compared to adults) has not been investigated. Here, in a preregistered study (N = 297), we examined if young children…

Manalel, Jasmine A.; Antonucci, Toni C. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Personal networks undergo changes in structure and composition throughout the life span, adapting to developmental transitions and changing circumstances in a dynamic way. This study examines stability and change in social convoys from childhood to adulthood and variation in trajectories of convoy characteristics by gender and race. Multilevel…

Jager, Justin; Rauer, Amy; Staff, Jeremy; Lansford, Jennifer E.; Pettit, Gregory S.; Schulenberg, John E. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Existing research focused on social role destabilization (historical increases in role instability) and destandardization (historical increases in variability of role instability) has primarily focused on discrete social roles during discrete periods of development. Building on this work, we applied a macro approach to elucidate the extent to…

Samuel P. Putnam; Ela Sehic; Brian F. French; Maria A. Gartstein; Benjamin Lira Luttges – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Data from 83,423 parent reports of temperament (surgency, negative affectivity, and regulatory capacity) in infants, toddlers, and children from 341 samples gathered in 59 countries were used to investigate the relations among culture, gender, and temperament. Between-nation differences in temperament were larger than those obtained in similar…

Brenda C. Straka; Analia Albuja; Jane Leer; Kaelah Brauher; Sarah E. Gaither – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Children's socioeconomic status (SES) is linked to disparate access to resources and affects social behaviors such as inclusion and resource allocations. Yet it is unclear whether children's essentialized view of SES (i.e., believing SES is immutable) or subjective social status (SSS) influences behavioral biases toward high- versus low-SES peers.…

Mari, Magali A.; Clément, Fabrice; Paulus, Markus – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The psychological mechanisms that subserve inductions about novel social categories in childhood are hotly debated. While research demonstrated that language, and in particular generic statements, plays a major role in how children learn to attribute properties to social categories, developmental theories propose other mechanisms. One theoretical…

Ahmed, Sammy F.; Ellis, Alexa; Ward, Kaitlin P.; Chaku, Natasha; Davis-Kean, Pamela E. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
We leveraged nationally representative data from the Panel study of Income Dynamics-Child Development Supplement (N = 3,562) and the Early Childhood Longitudinal study (N = 18,174), to chart the development of working memory, indexed via verbal forward and backward digit span task performance, from 3 to 19 years of age. Results revealed nonlinear…

Kaspar Burger; Michael Becker; Ingrid Schoon – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Developmental science suggests that the consequences of mental health problems for life-course outcomes may depend on the timing of their onset. This study investigated the extent to which mental health predicted educational attainment at ages 17, 20, and 25 and whether gender moderated the links between mental health and educational attainment.…

Laible, Deborah; Karahuta, Erin; Stout, Wyntre; Van Norden, Clare; Cruz, Alysia; Neely, Princess; Carlo, Gustavo; Agalar, Afra Elif – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Some work demonstrates toddlers show preferences in targets of their prosocial behavior, and a number of theorists have argued that young children become increasingly likely to direct their prosocial behavior to ingroup over outgroup targets with development. The goal of this study was to examine whether toddlers' early helping, sharing, and…

Burkholder, Amanda R.; Elenbaas, Laura; Killen, Melanie – Developmental Psychology, 2021
This study investigated children's and adolescents' predictions regarding intergroup inclusion in contexts where peers differed on two dimensions of group membership: race and wealth. African American and European American participants (N = 153; age range: 8-14 years, M[subscript age] = 11.46 years) made predictions about whether afterschool clubs…

Cañigueral, Roser; Barron, Katherine; Steinbeis, Nikolaus – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The present study used a novel, well-controlled paradigm to investigate the development of cool, hot-positive, and hot-negative inhibitory control in a sample of children (6- to 11-year-old; N = 38, 21 females), adolescents (12- to 18-year-old; N = 38, 24 females), and adults (19- to 38-year-old; N = 38, 28 females; sample location: United…

Johnson, Lisa E.; Robins, Richard W.; Guyer, Amanda E.; Hastings, Paul D. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The current study examined the Five Cs model of positive youth development (PYD; Lerner et al., 2005) in U.S. Mexican-origin youth (N = 674, 50% female) and tested the extent to which ethnic pride, familismo, and respeto, as an index of cultural orientation, predicted PYD across midadolescence. PYD was modeled using a bifactor structure, which…
