There is a vast literature on "executive functioning," or the control of one's thoughts and actions in pursuit of a goal. This broad construct is conceptualized as comprising multiple executive functions (EFs) that support academic achievement and other important life outcomes. However, there is a lack of consensus regarding what,…

Jeff Coon; Paulina N. Silva; Alexander Etz; Barbara W. Sarnecka – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2025
Bayesian methods offer many advantages when applied to psychological research, yet they may seem esoteric to researchers who are accustomed to traditional methods. This paper aims to lower the barrier of entry for developmental psychologists who are interested in using Bayesian methods. We provide worked examples of how to analyze common study…

Antifascists have developed action-oriented principles and practices for collective resistance to fascism. In this article, we discuss antifascism as "praxis," which is the nexus of theory and practice through collective reflection and action. Antifascist praxis can inform developmental science at individual and contextual levels of…

Diane Brothers Cook; Valerie Havill – Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, 2024
A sample of 116 university students enrolled in developmental psychology courses participated in a study examining whether playing interactive video games with older adults would reduce students' misconceptions and negative stereotypes about older adults and increase their willingness to interact with older adults in the future. A service-learning…

Green, Larry – Journal of Transformative Education, 2023
A central concern that TL theory approaches but does not fully address is the process whereby an individual generates a more adequate meaning perspective after shedding an outmoded one. This article complements TL theory's account with a phenomenological description of the dangers and opportunities encountered on that quest. It employs the concept…

Frontiers pioneered an alternative model of publishing: Rather than libraries paying subscription fees to publishers to give library communities access to journals full of articles written, reviewed and edited (at no or modest cost to the publishers) by their own faculty, they instead charge the authors to publish articles that are then made…

Qu, Yang – Child Development Perspectives, 2023
Adolescence is often viewed in Western cultures as a time of rebellion and irresponsibility. In this article, I synthesize recent research on stereotypes of adolescence that uses an interdisciplinary approach, integrating developmental psychology, cultural psychology, and neuroscience. I first discuss empirical evidence on cultural differences in…

Jonathan Seiden – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2025
Direct assessments of early childhood development (ECD) are a cornerstone of research in developmental psychology and are increasingly used to evaluate programs and policies in lower- and middle-income countries. Despite strong psychometric properties, these assessments are too expensive and time consuming for use in large-scale monitoring or…

Qinxin Shi; Jonathan E. Butner; Robyn Kilshaw; Ascher Munion; Pascal Deboeck; Yoonkyung Oh; Cynthia A. Berg – Grantee Submission, 2023
Developmental researchers commonly utilize longitudinal data to decompose reciprocal and dynamic associations between repeatedly measured constructs to better understand the temporal precedence between constructs. Although the cross-lagged panel model (CLPM) is commonly used in developmental research, it has been criticized for its potential to…

Catrinel Tromp – Creativity Research Journal, 2025
Integrating research from cognitive, social, organizational, and developmental psychology, the present article builds on the idea that constraints play a key role in creativity. The Mr. Plumbean approach, which refers to the willing integration of focusing constraints for creative purposes, emphasizes the role of attitude toward constraints in…

Although developmental science has always been evolving, these times of fast-paced and profound social and scientific changes easily lead to disorienting fragmentation rather than coherent scientific advances. What directions should developmental science pursue to meaningfully address real-world problems that impact human development throughout…

Lisa Annika Brandt; Soern Finn Menning – Pedagogy, Culture and Society, 2024
Despite numerous critiques of the pioneering works of developmental child psychology, these key ideas continue to resonate within the field of ECEC (early childhood education and care). This article seeks to re-animate the critique through a closer look at two current tendencies within the Nordic countries: a growing and increasingly strict age…

Curran, Patrick J.; Hancock, Gregory R. – Child Development Perspectives, 2021
One of the most vexing challenges facing developmental researchers today is the statistical modeling of two or more behaviors as they unfold jointly over time. Although quantitative methodologists have studied these issues for more than half a century, no widely agreed-upon principled strategy exists to empirically analyze codevelopmental…

Stephen Humphry; Paul Montuoro; Carolyn Maxwell – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2024
This article builds upon a proiminent definition of construct validity that focuses on variation in attributes causing variation in measurement outcomes. This article synthesizes the defintion and uses Rasch measurement modeling to explicate a modified conceptualization of construct validity for assessments of developmental attributes. If…

David Smahel; Hayriye Gulec; Adela Lokajova; Lenka Dedkova; Hana Machackova – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2023
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have become commonplace in adolescents' lives, and they have grown in importance during the COVID-19 pandemic, when online communication became standard for many parts of life. This brings the need for developmental psychology to revise and update its theories for these new societal challenges. It…
