Leanne Tamm; James L. Peugh; Nehal A. Parikh – Early Education and Development, 2025
Research Findings: Temperament, which can be assessed as early as 3 months, is associated with school readiness and later academic achievement in children born full term. Although children born preterm demonstrate a dysregulated temperament and are at significant risk for lower school readiness, we found no studies investigating whether early…

Linn Andersson Konke; Terje Falck-Ytter; Emily J. H. Jones; Amy Goodwin; Karin Brocki – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
The purpose of the current study was to use the infant sibling design to explore whether proband traits of autism and ADHD could provide information about their infant sibling's temperament. This could help us to gain information about the extent to which infant temperament traits are differentially associated with autism and ADHD traits. We used…

Foley, Sarah; Devine, Rory T.; Hughes, Claire – Developmental Psychology, 2023
This study examined the development of caregiver mind-mindedness--defined as the propensity to see one's child as an agent with an independent mind--across the first 1,000 days of life. At four timepoints (i.e., third trimester of pregnancy, 4, 14, and 24 months postpartum), 384 first-time mothers (M[subscript age] = 32.55, SD = 3.63 years) and…

A Potential Link between Early Language Developmental Milestones and Personality Traits in Adulthood
Flensborg-Madsen, Trine; Wimmelmann, Cathrine Lawaetz; Mortensen, Erik Lykke – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2020
Background: Although plausible links between language development and personality have been suggested, longitudinal studies of these associations into adulthood have not been conducted. Aim: To investigate whether children's age at attaining language milestones is associated with later adult personality. Methods: Mothers' of 8,400 children from…

Frohn, Scott R.; Acar, Ibrahim H.; Rudasill, Kathleen Moritz; Buhs, Eric S.; Pérez-González, Sam – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
The present study examined teacher sensitivity as a potential moderator of the relationship between children's temperament in infancy and their social development in first grade. Using data from the Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (NICHD SECCYD), we found that first grade teachers who were sensitive and responsive to students'…

Ollas, Denise; Rautakoski, Pirkko; Nolvi, Saara; Karlsson, Hasse; Karlsson, Linnea – Infant and Child Development, 2020
Temperament is important to consider when investigating factors influencing communicative development in infancy. Existing research supporting the assumption that temperament and verbal language development are interrelated covers mainly verbal development in toddlerhood onward, but few studies focus on these relations in infancy. The present…

Liao, Shao-Chieh; Chou, Willy; Lin, Jiun-Hung; Chen, Pei-Yin; Chow, Julie Chi – Early Child Development and Care, 2020
This study identified the correlations between the temperament types of infants and their cries evoked by external pain stimuli. We examined infant cries evoked by vaccinations and analyse the volume and types of audio frequency fluctuation of the cries. The Infant Temperament Questionnaire is filled out by the parents. Statistical analyses of…

Gago Galvagno, Lucas G.; Elgier, Angel M.; Azzollini, Susana C. – International Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Several researchers have found that media exposure through books or electronic media contribute to preschoolers' development. However, research with behavioral measures and during the first years of life have not been carried out in Latin American contexts. The aim of the following research was to evaluate the relations between media exposure…

Sujan, Ayesha C.; Class, Quetzal A.; Rickert, Martin E.; Van Hulle, Carol; D'Onofrio, Brian M. – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
Previous research assessing consequences of interpregnancy intervals (IPIs) on child development is mixed. Utilizing a population-based US sample (n = 5339), we first estimate the associations between background characteristics (e.g. sociodemographic and maternal characteristics) and short ([less than or equal to]1 year) and long (>3 years)…

Freund, Jan-David – Early Child Development and Care, 2019
Early temperament predicts various aspects of development. In large-scale studies, temperament is often assessed via parental report because naturalistic and structured observations are costly and bear the risk of subject loss. However, the validity of such parental reports has been disputed repeatedly. This article compared parental reports on…

Buthmann, Jessica; Finik, Jackie; Nomura, Yoko – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2018
The present study examines the relationship between sex, infant temperament, and childhood psychophysiological reactivity via electrodermal activity (EDA). Both temperament and EDA are known to be relatively stable traits across the lifespan reflecting individual reactivity and regulation linked to suboptimal behavioral development and risk for…

Shim, Sook Young; Lim, Sun Ah – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
This study aimed to examine the effect of attachment security in 17-month-olds on their peer play interactions and behavioural problems at ages 4 and 6 years, respectively, in Korea. By employing structural equation modelling, we analyzed the data of 183 children and their mothers, which were extracted from the Panel Study on Korean Children…

Niditch, Laura A.; Varela, R. Enrique – Child & Youth Care Forum, 2018
Background: Temperament has been associated with child anxiety in a number of studies; however, research examining possible mechanisms of effect using longitudinal designs is scarce. Objective: This study tested a theoretically-derived model of anxiety development spanning infancy (6 months) to early childhood (approximately 72 months) that…

Maternal and Paternal Infant-Directed Speech in the Family Culture of First- and Second-Born Infants
Kokkinaki, Theano – Early Child Development and Care, 2020
We compared the structure and the content of mothers' and fathers' infant-directed speech as a function of infant birth order. Seven first-born and four second-born infants were video-recorded during their natural dyadic interactions with their mothers and fathers at home from the second to the sixth month after birth at 15-day intervals.…

Laake, Lauren M.; Bridgett, David J. – Early Education and Development, 2018
Research Findings: This study considered the interplay between infant temperament and maternal caregiving behaviors in relation to early language. A total of 118 mother-infant dyads participated in the study. Mothers rated infant positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA), and maternal behaviors were coded during a free-play task when infants…
