"Oh No! What Happened?" An Investigation of Parent-Child Conversations about Self-Conscious Emotions
Peer reviewed
Direct linkCooper, Alexandra M.; Reschke, Peter J.; Porter, Chris L.; Coyne, Sarah M.; Stockdale, Laura A.; Graver, Haley; Siufanua, Matthew; Rogers, Adam; Walle, Eric A. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Parents play an important role in socializing children's emotion understanding. Previous research shows that parents emphasize different aspects of emotion contexts depending on the discrete emotion. However, there is limited research on how parents and children discuss self-conscious emotions, such as embarrassment, guilt, and shame, and what…

Jensen, Alexander C.; Jorgensen-Wells, McKell A.; Andrus, Lauren E.; Pickett, Janna M.; Leiter, Virginia K.; Hadlock, Marnae E. Bell; Dayley, Jenna C. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The current study used meta-analysis to ask whether age differences, sex differences, and family size are linked to differences in parental treatment, as well as whether effect-sizes were moderated by the way parental differential treatment (PDT) was measured, who reported on the PDT, and the domain of PDT. Between August 2015 and November 2020,…

Verhoef, Rogier E. J.; Hofstee, Marissa; Endendijk, Joyce J.; Huijding, Jorg; Dekovic, Maja – Developmental Psychology, 2023
During infancy and toddlerhood, parents show large individual differences in the extent to which they are able to tailor their parenting behaviors to their children's swiftly changing developmental needs. The first aim of our study was, therefore, to distinguish parenting profiles at three time points during infancy and toddlerhood (i.e., 5, 10,…

Although parent-child conversations about race are recommended to curb White U.S. children's racial biases, little work has tested their influence. We designed a guided racism discussion task for U.S. White parents and their 8-12-year-old White children. We explored whether children's and parents' (a) pro-White implicit biases changed pre to…

A large body of research has established a relation between maternal education and children's neurocognitive functions, such as executive function and language. However, most studies have focused on early childhood and relatively few studies have examined associations with changes in maternal education over time. Consequently, it remains unclear…

This study examines the moment-to-moment within-person associations between maternal and child behaviors during a challenging puzzle task and compares these associations between mother--child dyads from the United States (n = 99, 52 boys, M[subscript child age] = 56.05 months, SD = 6.44) and China (n = 101, 46 boys, M[subscript child age] = 57.41…

Speck, Bailey; Isenhour, Jennifer; Gao, Mengyu; Conradt, Elisabeth; Crowell, Sheila E.; Raby, K. Lee – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Research suggests that women's autonomic nervous system responses to infant cries capture processes that affect their parenting behaviors. The aim of this study was to build on prior work by testing whether pregnant women's autonomic responses to an unfamiliar infant crying also predict their infants' emerging regulation abilities. Participants…

Do You See What I See? Exploring Maternal and Child Perceptions of Children's Anxiety Longitudinally
Alison Kirkpatrick; Lisa A. Serbin; Dale M. Stack – Developmental Psychology, 2024
The goals of this study were to investigate (a) the dyadic relations of mothers' and children's perceptions of children's anxiety symptoms across development, (b) whether maternal perceptions of children's anxiety serve as a mediator of the association between maternal anxiety and child anxiety, and (c) whether sensitive/structured parenting…

Prior theoretical and empirical research has highlighted links between positive parenting and the socioeconomic characteristics of the family's neighborhood, but has yet to illuminate the etiologic origins of this association. One possibility is that the various predictors of parenting outlined by Belsky (1984; e.g., characteristics of the child,…

Parenting behaviors have long been recognized as crucial to children's healthy development. However, examinations of the etiology of these behaviors are less prevalent. The current study investigated the driving forces behind parental warmth and discipline, particularly whether they are related more to traits within the parent or reactions to…

Guided by developmental models examining the legacy of childhood caregiving environments, we examined the longitudinal pattern of associations between harsh parenting and children's internalizing and externalizing symptoms across late childhood to late adolescence. Participants included 199 youth (48.7% female, 65.3% White, 32.2% Black, 2.5%…

Cooijmans, Kelly H. M.; Beijers, Roseriet; de Weerth, Carolina – Developmental Psychology, 2022
This randomized controlled trial (NTR5697) examined the effects of a 5-week daily skin-to-skin contact (SSC) intervention, compared with care-as-usual, on full-term infant crying and sleeping duration during the first 12 weeks postnatally (secondary outcomes of this trial). This trial included 116 Dutch healthy mothers and their full-term infants.…

To understand whose parenting (mothers vs. fathers) and which type of parenting (warmth vs. hostility) is more important in predicting adolescent aggression, this study applied dominance analysis to evaluate the relative importance of four different parenting dimensions (maternal hostility, paternal hostility, maternal warmth, and paternal…

Harman, Jennifer J.; Warshak, Richard A.; Lorandos, Demosthenes; Florian, Matthew J. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Theory and research have described developmental processes leading to damaged parent-child relationships, such as those that occur during a divorce. However, scholars dispute the scientific status of the literature on children who form unhealthy alliances with one parent against the other-termed parental alienation (PA). This comprehensive…

Theory and research highlight the mismatch between puberty-associated challenges and personal coping resources among youth with early actual or perceived pubertal timing. This study (N = 167; M[subscript age] = 12.41 years; 51.5% female; 77.8% White American) examined whether coping resources provided by mothers (maternal socialization of coping)…
