To study effects of the gender-packaging of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) toys, mother-child dyads (31 daughters; 30 sons; M = 5.2 years) were randomly assigned to play with a mechanical toy packaged for girls ("GoldieBlox") or boys ("BobbyBlox"). When familiarizing themselves with the toy to prepare…

Camacho-Thompson, Daisy E.; Gonzales, Nancy A.; Tein, Jenn-Yun – School Psychology, 2019
Parental academic involvement is critical in promoting children's long-term academic success and may be especially impactful during middle school.

Mexican-origin mothers and fathers reported their academic involvement during seventh grade, and we…

Bornstein, Marc H.; Putnick, Diane L.; Suwalsky, Joan T. D. – Developmental Psychology, 2016
The developmental science literature is riven with respect to (a) parental similar versus different treatment of siblings and (b) sibling similarities and differences. Most methodologies in the field are flawed or confounded. To address these issues, this study employed a within-family longitudinal design to examine developmental processes of…

Yount, Kathryn M.; Cunningham, Solveig A.; Engelman, Michal; Agree, Emily M. – Journal of Marriage and Family, 2012
In Egypt, kin relations have been governed by a patriarchal contract, which defines expectations for intergenerational support along gendered lines. Social changes may be disrupting these customs and bringing attention to the ways gender may influence intergenerational support in rapidly changing contexts. Using data from 4,465 parent-child dyads…
