Yelim Hong; Christina M. Bertrand; Kirby Deater-Deckard; Cynthia L. Smith; Martha Ann Bell – Developmental Psychology, 2024
The authors examined task-based (i.e., executive function), surveyed (i.e., effortful control), and physiological (i.e., resting cardiac respiratory sinus arrhythmia [RSA]) measures of child and maternal regulation as distinct moderators of longitudinal bidirectional links between child externalizing (EXT) behaviors and harsh parenting (HP) from 6…

Jennifer J. Phillips; Cheyenne A. Williams; John H. Hunter; Martha Ann Bell – Infant and Child Development, 2024
Measures of parasympathetic regulation, such as respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), predict executive function outcomes, including inhibitory control, across childhood. Respiratory sinus arrhythmia augmentation tends to be associated with more maladaptive outcomes, compared to RSA suppression, but the literature regarding RSA profiles and…

Korucu, Irem; Litkowski, Ellen; Purpura, David J.; Schmitt, Sara A. – Infant and Child Development, 2020
The family context has been identified as an important predictor of the development of children's executive function (EF). An emerging line of research demonstrates that parents' own EF is linked to their caregiving behaviours and their children's EF. However, researchers have yet to explore the extent to which parental EF is related to specific…

Valcan, Debora S.; Davis, Helen; Pino-Pasternak, Deborah – Educational Psychology Review, 2018
Recent research indicates that parental behaviours may influence the development of executive functions (EFs) during early childhood, which are proposed to serve as domain-general building blocks for later classroom behaviour and academic achievement. However, questions remain about the strength of the association between parenting and child EFs,…

Thompson, Stephanie F.; Zalewski, Maureen; Kiff, Cara J.; Moran, Lyndsey; Cortes, Rebecca; Lengua, Liliana J. – Developmental Psychology, 2020
This study tested child characteristics (temperamental executive control and negative reactivity) and maternal characteristics (parenting behaviors and maternal depressive symptoms) as predictors of a mother's emotion-related socialization behaviors (ERSBs). Further, parenting behaviors and ERSBs were examined as predictors of children's emotion…

Lipscomb, Shannon T.; Becker, Derek R.; Laurent, Heidemarie; Neiderhiser, Jenae M.; Shaw, Daniel S.; Natsuaki, Misaki N.; Reiss, David; Fisher, Philip A.; Leve, Leslie D. – Infant and Child Development, 2018
This study examined children's morning hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activation as a moderator of links between hostile, over-reactive parenting at age 4.5 years and children's skills for success in school (higher executive function and literacy and less externalizing behaviour) at age 6. Participants included 361 adoptive families.…

Rochette, Émilie; Bernier, Annie – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2014
Family socioeconomic status (SES) and the quality of maternal behavior are among the few identified predictors of child executive functioning (EF), and they have often been found to have interactive rather than additive effects on other domains of child functioning. The purpose of this study was to explore their interactive effects in the…

Vernon-Feagans, Lynne; Garrett-Peters, Patricia; Willoughby, Michael – Developmental Psychology, 2016
Behavioral regulation is an important school readiness skill that has been linked to early executive function (EF) and later success in learning and school achievement. Although poverty and related risks, as well as negative parenting, have been associated with poorer EF and behavioral regulation, chaotic home environments may also play a role in…
