Brown, Michelle P.; Ng, Rowena; Lisle, Joe; Koenig, Melissa; Sannes, Dane; Rogosch, Fred; Cicchetti, Dante – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Mind-mindedness is associated with positive developmental outcomes. However, much of the literature uses mostly White, middle to high socioeconomic status (SES) samples despite evidence that the benefits of mind-mindedness may vary based on degree of social risk. Additionally, few studies have examined relations between mind-mindedness and…

Thomas; Molenaar, Peter C. M.; Gates, Kathleen M. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2012
In the past decade, there has been a dramatic growth in research examining the development of emotion from a physiological perspective. However, this widespread use of physiological measures to study emotional development coexists with relatively few guiding principles, thus reducing opportunities to move the field forward in innovative ways. The…

Valentino, Kristin; Cicchetti, Dante; Toth, Sheree L.; Rogosch, Fred A. – Developmental Psychology, 2011
Mother-child play of maltreating and nonmaltreating families was analyzed when infants were 12 months old (Time 1), and 2 years old (Time 2), as a context to examine children's developing cognitive and social skills. At Time 1, infants from abusing families demonstrated less independent and more imitative behavior during play than did infants from…

Alink, Lenneke R. A.; Cicchetti, Dante; Kim, Jungmeen; Rogosch, Fred A. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2009
The present study investigated underlying processes of the effect of maltreatment on psychopathology (i.e., internalizing and externalizing problems) in a group of 111 maltreated and 110 nonmaltreated 7-10 year-old children (60% boys). We tested the moderating and/or mediating roles of emotion regulation and the mother-child relationship quality…

Shields, Ann; Ryan, Richard M.; Cicchetti, Dante – Developmental Psychology, 2001
Examined whether maltreated children were more likely than nonmaltreated children to develop poor-quality representations of parents and whether these representations predicted children's rejection by peers. Found that maltreated children's representations were more negative/constricted and less positive/coherent than nonmaltreated children's.…

Cicchetti, Dante – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1987
Considers it inappropriate to focus on discrete symptomatology to infer presence of nascent or incipient infant psychopathology. Asserts that disorders in infancy are best conceptualized as relational psychopathologies, that is, as consequences of dysfunction in parent-child-environment system. Uses research in child maltreatment to illustrate the…

Valentino, Kristin; Cicchetti, Dante; Toth, Sheree L.; Rogosch, Fred A. – Developmental Psychology, 2006
Mother-child play of 12-month-old infants (N = 130) from maltreating (N = 78) and nonmaltreating (N = 52) families was analyzed as a context that integrates infants' developing social and cognitive skills. Play was coded from semistructured and unstructured play paradigms. No group differences were found in infants' play maturity. Infants from…

Cicchetti, Dante; And Others – New Directions for Child Development, 1988
Demonstrates how a transactional developmental psychopathology perspective that focuses on the young child's resolution of stage-salient issues can be applied to the identification and treatment of psychopathology in early childhood. (PCB)

Kim, Jungmeen; Cicchetti, Dante – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2004
This study examined the concurrent and longitudinal relations of mother-child relationship quality, self-esteem, social competence, and maladjustment among maltreated (n = 206) and nonmaltreated (n = 139) school-aged children from low-income families. Results of the path analysis using structural equation modeling revealed that maltreatment at…

Koenig, Amy L.; Cicchetti, Dante; Rogosch, Fred A. – Child Development, 2000
Examined moral development in maltreated and non-maltreated 3- and 4-year-olds through observation of child compliance/noncompliance during a cleanup situation following play. Found that abused children exhibited less internalization than non-maltreated. Neglected children showed more negative affect than others. Found no group differences in…

Toth, Sheree L.; Cicchetti, Dante – Journal of School Psychology, 1996
Examined roles of children's relationships (N=61 children) with their mothers in affecting school adaptation in maltreated and nonmaltreated children. Partially confirmed hypotheses that a secure relationship with mothers fosters positive school adaptation, while an insecure relation would contribute to maladaptive functioning. Results are…

Patterns of Relatedness, Depressive Symptomatology, and Perceived Competence in Maltreated Children.

Toth, Sheree L.; Cicchetti, Dante – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1996
An attachment theory framework is applied toward understanding the emergence of depressive symptomatology and lower perceived competence in maltreated and nonmaltreated children. Confirmed hypotheses that maltreated children with nonoptimal patterns of relatedness show elevated depressive symptomatology and lower competence, whereas nonmaltreated…
