Obstetrical Complications and Violent Delinquency: Testing Two Developmental Pathways.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Arseneault, Louise; Tremblay, Richard E.; Boulerice, Bernard; Saucier, Jean-Francois – Child Development, 2002
Assessed interaction between obstetrical complications and early family adversity in predicting violent behavior during childhood and adolescence among 849 boys from low SES areas. Found that elevated scores on scale of obstetrical complications (preeclampsia, umbilical cord prolapse, induced labor) increased risk of being violent at 6 and 17…

Minor Anomalies and Behavior in Different Home Environments.
LaVeck, Beverly; And Others – 1981
This study presents research findings of a four year study intended to identify infant and family characteristics which, singly or in combination, predict developmental problems during preschool and school years. Predictors included a variety of measures of parental and neonatal biological conditions as well as measures of the quality of the…

Reproductive, Perinatal, and Environmental Factors as Predictors of the Cognitive and Language Development of Preterm and Full-Term Infants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Siegel, Linda S. – Child Development, 1982
The accuracy of a risk index based on reproductive and demographic factors for predicting subsequent development was tested with 51 full-term and 53 preterm infants. In addition, the possibility that scores on the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment scale might contribute significantly to the prediction of subsequent development…

Predictors of Developmental Outcome in Very Low Birth Weight Infants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Macias, Michelle M.; Saylor, Conway F.; Younginer, Erik; Katikaneni, Lakshmi D. – Early Child Development and Care, 2000
Examined predictors of development in very low birth weight infants from diverse backgrounds. Found that low income and greater frequency of medical problems predicted developmental risk on the Bayley Scales. In two-parent households, paternal education predicted developmental scores. Several individual biomedical factors predicted…

Biological and Environmental Correlates of Developmental Outcomes of Prematurely Born Infants in Early Adolescence.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Levy-Shiff, Rachel; And Others – Journal of Pediatric Psychology, 1994
Examined the role of biological factors, such as perinatal complications, and psychological factors, such as maternal attitudes, in predicting developmental outcomes in preterm children. Findings support the main effects model of biological and environmental factors in explaining developmental psychopathology, but also the interactional model, as…

Kalmar, Magda; Boronkai, Judit – 1989
Data are presented from a long-term follow-up study investigating the interplay of various factors contributing to the developmental outcome of prematurely born children. Fifty-eight low-risk pre-term Hungarian children are compared to 100 full-term children, from birth to age 6, on socioeconomic status, family climate, and intellectual…
