Two general evolutionary hypotheses were tested on 756 White children (397 girls) studied longitudinally: (1) rearing experiences would predict pubertal timing; and (2) children would prove differentially susceptible to rearing. Analysis of pubertal measurements, including some based on repeated physical assessments, showed that mothering and…

Wakschlag, Lauren S.; Briggs-Gowan, Margaret J.; Carter, Alice S.; Hill, Carri; Danis, Barbara; Keenan, Kate; McCarthy, Kimberly J.; Leventhal, Bennett L. – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2007

We hypothesize that "quality of behavior and its pervasiveness across contexts" are critical dimensions for clinical discrimination…

We propose that a developmental assets approach, one that focuses on strengths of these settings, can help our understanding of the development of young children's…
