Walters, Glenn D.; Espelage, Dorothy L. – School Psychology Quarterly, 2018
Psychological inertia, the process by which social-cognitive variables help maintain behavioral patterns over time, has been found to explain crime continuity. The present study sought to determine whether psychological inertia can also be used to explain continuity in bullying behavior. A group of 1,161 youth (567 male) from the Illinois Study of…

Kristen E. Riley – ProQuest LLC, 2016
Engaging in maladaptive health behaviors such as excessive alcohol intake and sexual risk taking behavior and avoiding adaptive health behaviors such as a healthy diet and exercise contribute to the development of a number of chronic illnesses. Rumination, thinking about things negatively over and over again, is a common cognitive process among…

Jarrett, Matthew A.; Gilpin, Ansley Tullos; Pierucci, Jillian M.; Rondon, Ana T. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2016
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can be identified in the preschool years, but little is known about the correlates of ADHD symptoms in preschool children. Research to date suggests that factors such as temperament, personality, and neuropsychological functioning may be important in understanding the development of early ADHD…

Albert, Dustin; Steinberg, Laurence – Child Development, 2011
The present study examined age differences in performance on the Tower of London, a measure of strategic planning, in a diverse sample of 890 individuals between the ages of 10 and 30. Although mature performance was attained by age 17 on relatively easy problems, performance on the hardest problems showed improvements into the early 20s.…

Stepp, Stephanie D.; Burke, Jeffrey D.; Hipwell, Alison E.; Loeber, Rolf – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2012
Little empirical evidence exists regarding the developmental links between childhood psychopathology and borderline personality disorder (BPD) in adolescence. The current study addresses this gap by examining symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) as potential precursors. ADHD and BPD…

Clarke, Dave – International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction, 2012
Based on the transpersonal model of stress, the purpose of the study was to investigate the moderating effect of impulsivity on the relationship between stressful life events (SLE) and depression among first year university women. Impulsivity consists of tendencies towards lack of premeditation, lack of perseverance, urgency and sensation seeking.…

Ballard, Elizabeth; Bosk, Abigail; Pao, Maryland – Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 2010
Whereas non-suicidal self injury (NSSI) is reported in 13-23% of adolescents and is an increasingly studied topic, there has been little investigation into the pathophysiology behind self-injury. This commentary examines recent research into pain and emotional distress to discuss implications for the manner we should understand, research, and…

Graziano, Paulo A.; McNamara, Joseph P.; Geffken, Gary R.; Reid, Adam – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2011
The goal of the current study was to determine the extent to which the perceived self-regulation deficits across behavioral, cognitive, and emotional domains seen in children with ADHD explain the association between the severity of ADHD symptoms and parenting stress. Participants for this study included 80 children (mean age = 10 years, 9 months)…

Willner, Paul; Bailey, Rebecca; Parry, Rhonwen; Dymond, Simon – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2010
The subjective value of rewards declines as a function of the delay to receive them (temporal discounting). Three temporal discounting tasks that assessed preferences between small amounts of money (10 pence) over short delays (60 s), moderate amounts of money (10 British Pounds) over moderate delays (2 weeks), and large amounts of money (1000…

Taylor, David; Lincoln, Alan J.; Foster, Sharon L. – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2010
Objective: To bridge theory of response inhibition and learning in children with ADHD. Method: Thirty ADHD and 30 non-ADHD children (ages 9-12) were compared under concurrent variable interval (VI-15 sec., VI-30 sec. and VI- 45 sec.) reinforcement schedules that required the child to switch between the three schedules under conditions of…

Steinberg, Laurence; Albert, Dustin; Cauffman, Elizabeth; Banich, Marie; Graham, Sandra; Woolard, Jennifer – Developmental Psychology, 2008
It has been hypothesized that sensation seeking and impulsivity, which are often conflated, in fact develop along different timetables and have different neural underpinnings, and that the difference in their timetables helps account for heightened risk taking during adolescence. In order to test these propositions, the authors examined age…

Eisenberg, Nancy; Michalik, Nicole; Spinrad, Tracy L.; Hofer, Claire; Kupfer, Anne; Valiente, Carlos; Liew, Jeffrey; Cumberland, Amanda; Reiser, Mark – Cognitive Development, 2007
The relations of children's (n=214 at Time 1; M age=6 years at Time 1) dispositional sympathy to adult-reported and behavioral measures of effortful control (EC) and impulsivity were examined in a longitudinal study including five assessments, each two years apart. Especially for boys, relatively high levels of EC and growth in EC were related to…

Casey, B. J.; Getz, Sarah; Galvan, Adriana – Developmental Review, 2008
Adolescence is a developmental period characterized by suboptimal decisions and actions that give rise to an increased incidence of unintentional injuries and violence, alcohol and drug abuse, unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Traditional neurobiological and cognitive explanations for adolescent behavior have failed to…

Carlson, Stephanie M.; Wang, Tiffany S. – Cognitive Development, 2007
This research investigated the relation between individual differences in inhibitory control and emotion regulation. Preschool children (N=53) ages 4-6 (M=5; 0) were assessed on brief batteries of inhibitory control of prepotent responses and emotion regulation. Individual differences in inhibitory control were significantly correlated with…

Geen, Russell G. – 1994
The literature on human aggression is large and diverse. Some of it is theory-driven, but much of it dwells on solving social problems rather than on building general models and research paradigms. This paper examines some of the research programs and theoretical emphases in aggression research and presents theory convergences to see how these…
