Gwendolyn D. Wheatley; Elizabeth A. Goncy – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: A Peer Relations Journal, 2024
Literature on the relationship between childhood cancer and post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) is mixed. Research has shown that other factors (i.e., family problems, treatment intensity, stressful life events) impact this relationship. Researchers have examined the relationship between post-traumatic growth and experiencing cancer. We examined…

Joke Heylen; Samuel Budniok; Magali Van de Walle; Rudi De Raedt; Patricia Bijttebier; Simon De Winter; Guy Bosmans – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2024
Latent growth curve modeling was used to investigate the longitudinal link between attachment, effortful control (EC), and maladaptive development during middle childhood. In a community sample, children (Time 1: n = 157; M[subscript age] = 10.91) and their mothers were examined three times over a two-year period. Attachment was operationalized at…

Jazlyn Nketia; Alya Al Sager; Rana Dajani; Diego Placido; Dima Amso – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
Understanding executive functions (EFs) development is of high value to global developmental science. Recent calls for a more inclusive and equitable developmental science argue that tasks and questionnaires that are developed using only a subset of the population are not likely to be appropriate for EFs measurement in global contexts unless…

Brown, Michelle P.; Ng, Rowena; Lisle, Joe; Koenig, Melissa; Sannes, Dane; Rogosch, Fred; Cicchetti, Dante – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Mind-mindedness is associated with positive developmental outcomes. However, much of the literature uses mostly White, middle to high socioeconomic status (SES) samples despite evidence that the benefits of mind-mindedness may vary based on degree of social risk. Additionally, few studies have examined relations between mind-mindedness and…

Yi-Ling Chien; Yueh-Ming Tai; Yen-Nan Chiu; Wen-Che Tsai; Susan Shur-Fen Gau – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
The mediators of real-world executive functions in autism during the transition into adulthood are mainly unknown. This study aimed to identify the mediators for the behavioral and cognitive domains of real-world executive functions in late adolescent and young adult autistic populations. We followed up 289 autistic children (aged 11.6 ± 3.8, male…

Cochran, Kara A.; Bogat, G. Anne; Levendosky, Alytia A.; Nuttall, Amy K.; Bayerl, Georgia; Martinez-Torteya, Cecilia – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2022
Exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with children's internalizing and externalizing problems. IPV is thought to impair mothers' ability to scaffold young children's emotion regulation through coregulated interactions. Mother-child language style matching (LSM) is an index of coregulation that has yet to be examined in…

Lubke, Gitta H.; McArtor, Daniel B.; Boomsma, Dorret I.; Bartels, Meike – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Longitudinal data from a large sample of twins participating in the Netherlands Twin Register (n = 42,827, age range 3-16) were analyzed to investigate the genetic and environmental contributions to childhood aggression. Genetic auto-regressive (simplex) models were used to assess whether the same genes are involved or whether new genes come into…

Elizabeth A. Shewark; Amanda M. Ramos; Chang Liu; Jody M. Ganiban; Gregory Fosco; Daniel S. Shaw; David Reiss; Misaki N. Natsuaki; Leslie D. Leve; Jenae M. Neiderhiser – Grantee Submission, 2021
Background: Evocative gene-environment correlation (rGE) describes a process through which children's heritable characteristics influence their rearing environments. The current study examined if heritable influences on parenting and children's behavioral outcomes operate through child negative emotionality. Method: Using data from the Early…

Nickerson, Amanda B.; Shisler, Shannon; Eiden, Rina D.; Ostrov, Jamie M.; Schuetze, Pamela; Godleski, Stephanie A.; Delmerico, Alan M. – Journal of School Violence, 2020
This prospective study examined the effects of early childhood physical aggression and violence exposure on bullying victimization/perpetration and attitudes toward guns and violence in early adolescence (EA) in a high-risk sample. Participants included 216 mother-child dyads from an ongoing longitudinal study using multi-method assessments (e.g.,…

Wertlieb, Donald – ZERO TO THREE, 2018
The science and practice of early childhood development now stands ready to address the needs and ensure the rights of infants and young children with disabilities and their families, among the most underserved and marginalized in all regions of the world. Synergies in global policies such as the "United Nations Convention on the Rights of…

Hannah L. Barton – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Executive functioning abilities have been associated with important behaviors such as adaptive skills and cognitive abilities in children with and without disabilities. Executive functioning has primarily been measured as a strong predictor of later abilities in children with neurodevelopmental disabilities, such as attention-deficit/…

Pilkauskas, Natasha V.; Brooks-Gunn, Jeanne; Waldfogel, Jane – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Although many studies have investigated links between maternal employment and children's wellbeing, less research has considered whether the stability of maternal employment is linked with child outcomes. Using unique employment calendar data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (N = 2,011), an urban birth cohort study of largely…

Uzun Cicek, Ayla; Sari, Seda Aybuke; Mercan Isik, Cansu – Journal of Mental Health Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2020
Introduction: Intellectual disability (ID) is characterized by limitations in cognitive and adaptive functioning. The aim of this study is to examine sociodemographic characteristics, perinatal and childhood risk factors, and prevalence of psychiatric and biomedical comorbidities in children with ID. Methods: 260 patients with ID were included in…

Bosmans, Guy; Young, Jami F.; Hankin, Benjamin L. – Developmental Psychology, 2018
We examined the prediction that the interaction between Glucocorticoid Receptor Gene ("NR3C1") methylation, stress, and experienced maternal support predicts anxious and avoidant attachment development. This was tested in a general population sample of 487 children and adolescents (44% boys, M[subscript age] = 11.84, SD[subscript age] =…

To examine whether the cultural normativeness of parents' beliefs and behaviors moderates the links between those beliefs and behaviors and youths' adjustment, mothers, fathers, and children (N = 1,298 families) from 12 cultural groups in 9 countries (China, Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, and the United States) were…
