Dennis, Tracy A.; Buss, Kristin A.; Hastings, Paul D.; Bell, Martha Ann; Diaz, Anjolii; Adam, Emma K.; Miskovic, Vladimir; Schmidt, Louis A.; Feldman, Ruth; Katz, Lynn Fainsilber; Rigterink, Tami; Strang, Nicole M.; Hanson, Jamie L.; Pollak, Seth D.; Dahl, Ronald E.; Silk, Jennifer S.; Siegle, Greg J.; Beauchaine, Theodore P.; Cicchetti, Dante; Rogosch, Fred A.; Fox, Nathan A.; Kirwan, Michael; Reeb-Sutherland, Bethany; Gunnar, Megan R.; Obradovic, Jelena; Boyce, W. Thomas; Molenaar, Peter C. M.; Gates, Kathleen M. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2012
In the past decade, there has been a dramatic growth in research examining the development of emotion from a physiological perspective. However, this widespread use of physiological measures to study emotional development coexists with relatively few guiding principles, thus reducing opportunities to move the field forward in innovative ways. The…

Marital Conflict and Children's Externalizing Behavior: Interactions between Parasympathetic and Sympathetic Nervous System Activity
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
El-Sheikh, Mona; Kouros, Chrystyna D.; Erath, Stephen; Cummings, E. Mark; Keller, Peggy; Staton, Lori – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2009
Toward greater specificity in the prediction of externalizing problems in the context of interparental conflict, interactions between children's parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system (PNS and SNS) activity were examined as moderators. PNS activity was indexed by respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) and RSA reactivity (RSA-R) to lab…

Understanding Mother-Adolescent Conflict Discussions: Concurrent and Across-Time Prediction from Youths' Dispositions and Parenting
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Eisenberg, Nancy; Hofer, Claire; Spinrad, Tracy L.; Gershoff, Elizabeth T.; Valiente, Carlos; Losoya, Sandra; Zhou, Qing; Cumberland, Amanda; Liew, Jeffrey; Reiser, Mark; Maxon, Elizabeth – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2008
Adolescence is often thought of as a period during which the quality of parent-child interactions can be relatively stressed and conflictual. There are individual differences in this regard, however, with only a modest percent of youths experiencing extremely conflictual relationships with their parents. Nonetheless, there is relatively little…

Attachment Theory: Retrospect and Prospect.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bretherton, Inge – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1985
Provides overview of attachment theory as parented by John Bowlby in "Attachment and Loss". Uses two major concepts from this work to interpret refinements and elaborations of attachment theory attibuted to Mary Ainsworth. Considers how recent insights into development of socioemotional understanding and development of event…

Toward a Developmental Ecological Psychology.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Goldfield, Eugene C. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1997
Discusses Adolph's research on locomotion with regard to the requirements of an ecological psychology, especially the use of control laws; her examination of individual styles and normative patterns as it reflects a dynamic systems perspective; and her use of cognitive processes of decision making in explaining why infants approach or avoid a…

Visual Attention, Auditory Stimulation, and Language Discrimination in Young Infants
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Horowitz, Francis Degan, Ed. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1974
Presents nine experimental studies investigating auditory and visual discrimination in very young infants. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for understanding habituation, cross-modal stimulation, receptive language development, and individual differences. Appendices include data on visual fixation duration and information on…

Transitions in Early Mental Development
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McCall, Robert B.; And Others – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1977
This study describes the developmental function and cross-age pattern of individual differences in mental test behavior during the first 5 years of life. Accompanying the study are brief commentaries by Ina C. Uzgiris and Earl S. Schaefer and a reply by the authors. (JMB)

Models of Oculomotor Variability in Infancy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Aslin, Richard N. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1997
Examines the meaning of reaction time (RT) and the possibility that it may predict other cognitive and motor skills in the first year of life. Considers two competing models that specify the information-processing components underlying RT performance. Describes the neural data needed to definitively choose between the models and considers…

Emotion Regulation: A Theme in Search of Definition.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Thompson, Ross A. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1994
This essay considers how emotion regulation should be defined, the various components of the management of emotion, how emotion regulation strategies fit into the dynamics of social interaction, and how individual differences in emotion regulation should be conceptualized and measured. (MDM)

Frontal Electroencephalographic Correlates of Individual Differences in Emotion Expression in Infants: A Brain Systems Perspective on Emotion.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dawson, Geraldine – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1994
This essay reviews empirical evidence that suggests that emotion type and emotion intensity are associated with distinct and independent patterns of frontal electroencephalographic (EEG) activity in infants. The role of the frontal lobe and related brain systems in emotion expression and regulation is also discussed from a developmental…

Dynamic Cerebral Processes Underlying Emotion Regulation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fox, Nathan A. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1994
A reanalysis of recent clinical research suggests that three different neural processes or brain mechanisms may underlie the regulation of emotion: (1) contralateral disinhibition of cortical centers; (2) ipsilateral disinhibition of subcortical centers; and (3) excitation of specific subcortical or neocortical centers. (MDM)

Emotion Regulation: Influences of Attachment Relationships.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cassidy, Jude – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1994
Examines ways in which individual differences in emotion regulation may be influenced by children's attachment experiences. It argues that individuals characterized by the flexible ability to accept and integrate both positive and negative emotions are generally securely attached, whereas individuals characterized by either limited or heightened…

Modeling Growth and Individual Differences in Spatial Tasks.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Thomas, Hoben; Lohaus, Arnold – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1993
In 2 studies, subjects between 7 and 16 years of age indicated predictions for the water level in a tilted container or the position of a plumb line. Found that sex differences were evident at all ages; task performance improved with age according to a discrete stage process; and task performance was determined by field effects and rule strategy.…

The Architecture and Dynamics of Developing Mind: Experiential Structuralism as a Frame for Unifying Cognitive Developmental Theories.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Demetriou, Andreas; And Others – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1993
Presents a theory of cognitive development that postulates a general cognitive processing system, a hypercognitive system governing self-regulation, and specialized structural systems responsible for processing different reality domains. Suggests five principles that serve as organizational pivots of developing cognition. Reports the results of…

A Longitudinal Twin Study of Intelligence in the Second Year.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Reznick, J. Steven; And Others – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1997
Examined data from 408 pairs of identical, same-sex fraternal twins at 14, 20, and 24 months to assess cognitive development and to identify genetic and environmental influences on phenotypic similarity. Found various patterns of development for separate constructs, for females versus males on each construct, and for individuals across constructs.…
