Establishing causal links when experiments are not feasible is an important challenge for psychology researchers. The question of whether parents' spanking causes children's externalizing behavior problems poses such a challenge because randomized experiments of spanking are unethical, and correlational studies cannot rule out potential selection…

National Center for Systemic Improvement at WestEd, 2018
Measuring children's social and emotional development can provide valuable information about how children are progressing in areas such as forming close and secure relationships, regulating and expressing their emotions, and showing empathy toward others.

Heather Geddes – International Journal of Nurture in Education, 2018
Many children are underachieving in schools and some are presenting very difficult behaviours that challenge and stress the teacher and affect the measures of school achievement. The purpose of this paper is to summarise the research findings reported in 'Attachment in the Classroom' (Geddes, 2006) with the aim to inform and support teaching…

Locchetta, Brandy; Domingo, Maddisen; Barton, Erin E. – Young Exceptional Children, 2020
Social skills--including the ability to participate appropriately in social activities--are predictive of later social and academic success and critical for children to successfully engage in typical early childhood contexts. For children with disabilities, deficits in social skills are not uncommon. To address the relation between social skills…

Waddington, Hannah; van der Meer, Larah; Sigafoos, Jeff; Ogilvie, Emily – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2020
Objectives: Data indicate that some developmentally and behaviorally based early intervention programs can lead to a range of improvements in children with autism spectrum disorder. However, many such programs call for a fairly intensive amount of intervention. The objective of this preliminary study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a…

Poveda, David; Matsumoto, Mitsuko; Sundin, Ebba; Sandberg, Helena; Aliagas, Cristina; Gillen, Julia – Journal of Early Childhood Literacy, 2020
Young children's engagements with digital technologies form part of their emergent everyday literacy practices. The study reported here derives from the pan-European study 'A Day in the Digital Lives of Children aged 0-3'. The methodology was centred on the videoing of an entire day's experiences of a child aged under 3, together with a reflective…

Keown, Louise J.; Franke, Nike; Triggs, Christopher M. – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2020
Executive functions (EFs) are foundational for the development of cognitive and social capacities critical for school readiness. The importance of promoting EF skills prior to school entry is increasing recognized but few preschool classroom-based interventions specifically target EF skills. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness…

Metin Aslan, Özge – Early Child Development and Care, 2020
This research aims to examine the predictive effect of gender, culture, and shyness on reticence and solitary play behaviour. Fifty children at two U.S. nursery schools and 55 children at a Turkish nursery school were included in the study, with a total of 105 children aged 36-72 months (61 boys, 44 girls). Parent questionnaires were used to…

Helland, Siri Saugestad; Røysamb, Espen; Brandlistuen, Ragnhild Eek; Melby-Lervåg, Monica; Gustavson, Kristin – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
Studies have identified concurrent, longitudinal, and bidirectional associations between language difficulties and internalizing problems. This is commonly explained by social exclusion or withdrawal from peers, but underlying mechanisms are not well understood. This study uses sibling data to investigate if the comorbidity between language…

Hartman, Sarah; Eilertsen, Espen Moen; Ystrom, Eivind; Belsky, Jay; Gjerde, Line C. – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Emerging evidence suggests that prenatal stress does not solely undermine child functioning but increases developmental plasticity to both negative and positive postnatal experiences. Here we test this proposition using the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort study while implementing an extreme-group (i.e., high vs. low prenatal stress) design (n =…

The present study examines parents' self-efficacy about anger regulation and irritability as predictors of harsh parenting and adolescent children's irritability (i.e., mediators), which in turn were examined as predictors of adolescents' externalizing and internalizing problems. Mothers, fathers, and adolescents (N = 1,298 families) from 12…

Martin, Alia; Lin, Kelsey; Olson, Kristina R. – Child Development, 2016
Children help others to complete their goals. Yet adults are sometimes motivated to help others in a "paternalistic" way, overriding a recipient's desires if they conflict with the recipient's best interests. Experiments investigated whether 5-year-olds (n = 100) consider a recipient's desire, and the consequences of fulfilling this…

Kim, Sohyun An – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
This study explores Korean-American parents' perceptions on successful transition to kindergarten (TTK) for their child on the autism spectrum. It further examines challenges experienced during this process, and possible predictors for their challenges. Findings from an online survey (N = 212) indicate that participants consider their child's…
