Cuartas, Jorge – Child Development, 2022
Whether spanking is detrimental for social-emotional (SE) development remains controversial, mostly due to disputes around the internal and external validity of existing evidence. This study examined the effect of spanking on the SE development of Bhutanese children, using a national, longitudinal sample (N = 1377; M[subscript age] = 50.5 months…

Ophélie A. Collet; Massimiliano Orri; Cédric Galéra; Laura Pryor; Michel Boivin; Richard Tremblay; Sylvana Côté – Child Development, 2024
We investigated whether child temperament (negative emotionality, 5 months) moderated the association between maternal stimulation (5 months--2½ years) and academic readiness and achievement (vocabulary, mathematics, and reading). We applied structural equation modeling to the data from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development (N =…

Mix, Kelly S.; Bower, Corinne A.; Hancock, Gregory R.; Yuan, Lei; Smith, Linda B. – Child Development, 2022
Place value concepts were measured longitudinally from kindergarten (2017) to first grade (2018) in a diverse sample (n = 279; M[subscript age] = 5.76 years, SD = 0.55; 135 females; 41% Black, 38% White, 8% Asian, 12% Latino). Children completed three syntactic tasks that required an explicit understanding of base-10 symbols and three approximate…

Katherine E. Frye; Christopher J. Anthony; Pui-Wa Lei; Kyle D. Husmann; James C. DiPerna – Child Development, 2025
Social skills are dynamic developmental constructs typically measured using assessments developed via cross-sectional methods. The measurement model of derivatives (MMOD), a factor analytic approach targeting individual growth trajectories, was used to evaluate the longitudinal factor structure of the Social Skills Improvement System--Rating…

Elif Dede Yildirim; Cynthia A. Frosch; António J. Santos; Manuela Veríssimo; Kristen Bub; Brian E. Vaughn – Child Development, 2024
Preschool teachers' perceptions about relationships with students (teacher-child relationships [TCRs]) predict children's subsequent social competence (SC) and academic progress. Why this is so remains unclear. Do TCRs shape children's development, or do child attributes influence both TCRs and subsequent development? Relations between TCRs and…

Savopoulos, Priscilla; Brown, Stephanie; Anderson, Peter J.; Gartland, Deirdre; Bryant, Christina; Giallo, Rebecca – Child Development, 2022
The cognitive functioning of children who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) has received less attention than their emotional-behavioral outcomes. Drawing upon data from 615 (48.4% female) 10-year-old Australian-born children and their mothers (9.6% of mothers born in non-English speaking countries) participating in a community-based…

Austerberry, Chloe; Fearon, Pasco; Ronald, Angelica; Leve, Leslie D.; Ganiban, Jody M.; Natsuaki, Misaki N.; Shaw, Daniel S.; Neiderhiser, Jenae M.; Reiss, David – Child Development, 2022
Intellectual performance is highly heritable and robustly predicts lifelong health and success but the earliest manifestations of genetic effects on this asset are not well understood. This study examined whether early executive function (EF) or verbal performance mediate genetic influences on subsequent intellectual performance, in 561 U.S.-based…

Peterson, Candida C.; Wellman, Henry M. – Child Development, 2019
Longitudinal tracking of 107 three- to-thirteen-year-olds in a cross-sequential design showed a 6-step theory of mind (ToM) sequence identified by a few past cross-sectional studies validly depicted longitudinal ToM development from early to middle childhood for typically developing (TD) children and those with ToM delays owing to deafness or…

Osterhaus, Christopher; Koerber, Susanne – Child Development, 2021
This 5-year longitudinal study investigated advanced theory-of-mind (AToM) development in 161 German 5- to 10-year-olds (89 females, 72 males). Core aspects of AToM developed nonlinearly, with children reaching a milestone at the age of 7 years, around when they attained the conceptual insight that mental states can be recursive. In late…

Pesce, Caterina; Lakes, Kimberley D.; Stodden, David F.; Marchetti, Rosalba – Child Development, 2021
This study evaluated whether a theory-based intervention in physical education (PE) designed to train self-control may positively impact children's quick-temperedness and disruptiveness and whether changes in executive functions (EFs) may be a correlate or antecedent of such effects. One hundred and sixteen children aged 8-9 years participated in…

Wellman, Henry M.; Song, Ju-Hyun; Peskin-Shepherd, Hope – Child Development, 2019
A crucial human cognitive goal is to understand and to be understood. But understanding often takes active management. Two studies investigated early developmental processes of understanding management by focusing on young children's comprehension monitoring. We ask: When and how do young children actively monitor their comprehension of…

Gangi, Devon N.; Boterberg, Sofie; Schwichtenberg, Amy J.; Solis, Erika; Young, Gregory S.; Iosif, Ana-Maria; Ozonoff, Sally – Child Development, 2021
Two independent cohorts (N = 155, N = 126) of infants at high and low risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were followed prospectively between 6 and 36 months of age, when n = 46 were diagnosed with ASD. Gaze to adult faces was coded--during a developmental assessment (Cohort 1) or a play interaction (Cohort 2). Across both cohorts, most…

Susperreguy, Maria Ines; Davis-Kean, Pamela E.; Duckworth, Kathryn; Chen, Meichu – Child Development, 2018
This study examines whether self-concept of ability in math and reading predicts later math and reading attainment across different levels of achievement. Data from three large-scale longitudinal data sets, the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development--Study of Early Child Care and…

A double-blind randomized controlled trial of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 LCPUFA) supplementation or matching placebo during third trimester of pregnancy was conducted within the COPSAC[subscript 2010] mother-child cohort consisting of 736 women and their children. The objective was to determine if maternal n-3 LCPUFA pregnancy…

Hentges, Rochelle F.; Wang, Ming-Te – Child Development, 2018
This study utilized life history theory to test a developmental cascade model linking harsh parenting to low educational attainment. Multigroup models were examined to test for potential gender differences. The sample consisted of 1,482 adolescents followed up for 9 years starting in seventh grade (M[subscript age] = 12.74). Results supported…
