Across all cultures, parents have intuitive ideas ("ethnotheories") of what undesirable child characteristics are as well as how to explain them. Yet there have been relatively few cross-cultural comparisons of parents' ethnotheories about the nature and causes of child misbehavior. 108 mothers of 5-year-old children from the United…

Dapprich, Anna L.; Tyborowska, Anna; Niermann, Hannah C. M.; Becker, Eni S.; Cillessen, Antonius H. N.; Roelofs, Karin – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Callous-unemotional (CU) traits predict behavioral problems in adolescence. But little is known about early modulatory factors. Behavioral Inhibition (BI) in particular has been suggested to protect against the development of CU-traits. This temperamental predisposition is characterized by heightened environmental sensitivity. The current…

Kälin, Sonja; Roebers, Claudia M. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2021
Temperamental effortful control (EC) and executive functions (EF) are two frameworks for studying self-regulation in children. Despite stemming from different research traditions, they show many conceptual and theoretical similarities and their corresponding tasks are often used interchangeably. However, little is known about how and whether the…

The aim of the current study is to investigate the contributions of maternal attitudes to children's persistent and reactive behaviors. The study sample is made up of 202 preschoolers aged 48-72 months and their mothers. A demographic form was used to collect data on children's age, gender and mothers' working status. Persistence and Reactivity…

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…

This study advances the cross-cultural temperament literature by comparing temperament ratings of toddlers from 14 nations. Multilevel modeling (MLM) procedures were utilized to regress negative emotionality (NE) and component subscales on Hofstede's cultural value dimensions while controlling for age and gender. More individualistic values were…

Christensen, Lisa L.; Baker, Bruce L. – Journal of Mental Health Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2021
Background: Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) appears more prevalent among children with intellectual disabilities (ID) as compared to children with typical development. However, it remains unclear what drives this difference. Methods: Data from 70 youth with typical development (TD) and 20 youth with ID were drawn from (The Collaborative Family…

Goldstein, Brandon L.; Mumper, Emma E.; Behari, Kriti; Gooding, Diane C.; Klein, Daniel N. – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2021
Social anhedonia, a tendency toward experiencing social stimuli as less positive or pleasurable, is associated with maladaptive personality traits, poor interpersonal functioning, and psychopathology, and is typically elevated in males compared with females. However, the correlates of social anhedonia in youth have not been well defined. In this…

Coe, Jesse L.; Micalizzi, Lauren; Josefson, Brittney; Parade, Stephanie H.; Seifer, Ronald; Tyrka, Audrey R. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2020
Early adversity is associated with both internalizing and externalizing problems among children, and effects of adversity on dimensions of child temperament may underlie these links. However, very little is known about the role of child sex in these processes. The current study examined whether there are indirect effects of early adversity on…

Davison, Linnea; Warwick, Haven; Campbell, Kaitlyn; Gartstein, Maria A. – Journal of Education and e-Learning Research, 2019
An extensive literature links language problems with behavioral difficulties and academic underachievement. Although less extensive, emerging literature suggests that temperament, Positive Affectivity (PA) in particular, contributes to language development. Thus, the present study was focused on PA related temperament dimensions in infancy as…

Neitzel, Carin; Alexander, Joyce M.; Johnson, Kathy E. – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2016
This study investigated children's interest-based activities in the home during the preschool years and their subsequent academic self-regulation behaviors in school. Children's home activities were tracked for 1 year prior to kindergarten entry. Based on their profiles of activities, children (109) were assigned to one of four interest groups:…

Lemay, Lise; Bigras, Nathalie; Bouchard, Caroline – International Journal of Early Childhood, 2014
This study explored whether the relationships between specific features of child care quality and externalizing and internalizing behaviors in 24-month-old children are moderated by gender and temperament. Questionnaires were used to record children's gender and measure their temperament. Child care quality was observed with the "Échelles…

Woods, Heather; Bosacki, Sandra; Coplan, Robert J. – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2016
Early childhood educators' (ECE) perceptions of gender roles may contribute to the development of children's own gender-role identities. This qualitative study examined 40 Canadian female ECEs' perceptions of gender and children's shy, aggressive, and prosocial behaviors. Content analysis of extensive interviews revealed three themes: (1) shyness…

Spaeth, Michael; Weichold, Karina; Silbereisen, Rainer K. – Developmental Psychology, 2015
The literature proposes that leisure boredom may systematically increase during adolescence. Moreover, some authors assume that this hypothesized developmental trend is associated with increases in youthful delinquency and depression. Individual dispositions (e.g., temperamental disinhibition) are believed to exacerbate the relationship between…

Santos, Antonio J.; Peceguina, Ines; Daniel, Joao R.; Shin, Nana; Vaughn, Brian E. – Social Development, 2013
This study tested assumptions and conclusions reached in an earlier confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) study of the social competence (SC) construct for preschool children. Two samples (total N = 408; a new Portuguese sample and one from US samples that had participated in the original study) contributed data. Seven SC indicators were tested for…
