Purpose: Stuttering is associated with clinically significant social anxiety, which emerges during early childhood for some, but not all, children who begin to stutter. The purpose of this review article is to develop a model of social anxiety development during early childhood stuttering and to present an empirical method by which it can be…

Boutin, Stéphanie; Bégin, Vincent; Déry, Michèle – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Children who show elevated levels of indirect aggression (IA) from childhood to adolescence are at increased risks of experiencing detrimental outcomes. Some studies suggest that psychopathic traits could act as a predisposing vulnerability in the development of IA, but the contributions of all three dimensions of psychopathic traits in explaining…

The Utility of the R-ABC in Assessing Risk for Autism Compared with the M-CHAT: An Exploratory Study
Sidni A. Justus; Jenny L. Singleton; Agata Rozga – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2024
Over the past 20+ years, researchers have worked toward identifying early behavioral predictors of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and developing observation-based screeners to supplement existing parent-report methods. This study is a follow-up, 3 to 8 years later, with parents/caregivers of 57 children previously enrolled in a U.S.…

Cassidy L. McDermott; Katherine Taylor; Sophie D. S. Sharp; David Lydon-Staley; Julia A. Leonard; Allyson P. Mackey – Developmental Science, 2024
Children vary in how sensitive they are to experiences, with consequences for their developmental outcomes. In the current study, we investigated how behavioral sensitivity at age 3 years predicts mental health in middle childhood. Using a novel repeated measures design, we calculated child sensitivity to multiple psychological and social…

Ashley Miller; Carol A. Johnston – Infant and Child Development, 2024
Children's early experiences have potential to shape their development through early childhood, middle childhood, and into adolescence. Family structure at birth and material hardship may offer insight into how children's health and well-being are shaped within their family of origin. The current paper examined (a) the association between family…

Jennifer C. Bullen; Sandy L. Birkeneder; Matthew C. Zajic; Lindsay Swain Lerro; Nancy McIntyre; Nicole Sparapani; Peter Mundy – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
A recent study suggests that parent report on the Social Symptom and Prosocial scales of the Childhood Joint Attention Rating Scale provides useful information about differences in the social development of school-aged autistic children. The current study provides additional psychometric data on the Childhood Joint Attention Rating Scale regarding…

Eric Dearing; Andres S. Bustamante; Henrik Daae Zachrisson; Deborah Lowe Vandell – Educational Researcher, 2024
Scholars theorize that "opportunity gaps" drive achievement disparities between children born into poverty versus affluence. In a 26-year longitudinal study (N = 814), we examine (a) economic disparity in children's accumulation of opportunities--from birth through high school--at home, childcare, school, afterschool, and in the…

Goemans, Anouk; Buisman, Renate S. M.; van Geel, Mitch; Vedder, Paul – Child & Youth Care Forum, 2020
Foster children are reported to often have mental health difficulties. To optimize foster children's development chances, we need to know more about the characteristics that are predictive of foster children's mental health. In the current study, we aimed to establish what accounts for the differences in foster children's mental health, by…

Xu, Yin; Norton, Sam; Rahman, Qazi – Developmental Psychology, 2021
This study quantified changes in self-reported sexual orientation from adolescence to early adulthood, and whether childhood gender nonconformity (GNC) predicted sexual orientation changes. Youth (2,678 boys and 3,359 girls; 96.09% ethnically White) from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) were included. Self-reported…

Daniel, Ella; Benish-Weisman, Maya; Sneddon, Joanne N.; Lee, Julie A. – Child Development, 2020
Little is known about how children's value priorities develop over time. This study identifies children's value priority profiles and follows their development during middle childhood. Australian children (N = 609; ages 5-12 at Time 1) reported their values over 2 years. Latent Transition Analysis indicated four profiles: Social-Focus, Self-Focus,…

Armstrong-Carter, Emma; Trejo, Sam; Hill, Liam J. B.; Crossley, Kirsty L.; Mason, Dan; Domingue, Benjamin W. – Grantee Submission, 2020
Observed genetic associations with educational attainment may be due to direct or indirect genetic influences. Recent work highlights "genetic nurture," the potential effect of parents' genetics on their child's educational outcomes via rearing environments. To date, few mediating childhood environments have been tested. We used a large…

Lenes, Ragnhild; Størksen, Ingunn; McClelland, Megan; Idsøe, Thormod – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2022
Parental education and child gender are related to learning and development during childhood and adolescence. The present study investigated the role of mother's education level and child gender for children's vocabulary and math skills in Norway. Children's vocabulary and math skills were assessed in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC)…

Koepp, Andrew E.; Gershoff, Elizabeth T. – Developmental Science, 2022
This paper used a nationally representative sample of children from the United States to examine the extent to which physical activity and sports participation may promote growth in children's executive functions (EFs), attention, and social self-control over time. Using data from the ECLS-K:2011 (N = 18,174), findings indicated that regular…

Sleep is important for child development. Sleep problems in early childhood are associated with negative outcomes across numerous domains, including executive control, internalizing and externalizing psychopathology, and social competence (Astill et al., 2012; Hysing et al., 2016; Spruyt et al., 2019). Little research has focused on moderators…
