Culture is a key determinant of children's development both in its own right and as a measure of generalizability of developmental phenomena. Studying the role of culture in development requires information about participants' demographic backgrounds. However, both reporting and treatment of demographic data are limited and inconsistent in child…

Marion Gardier; Marie Geurten – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Recently, several studies have suggested that metacognition emerges early in infancy and toddlerhood. However, to date, the developmental trajectory of these early metacognitive monitoring and control processes and their influence on children's later memory functioning remains poorly understood. The aim of this study was to longitudinally document…

Rene Carbonneau; Frank Vitaro; Mara Brendgen; Michel Boivin; Richard E. Tremblay – Developmental Psychology, 2024
The present study investigated whether distinct developmental patterns of externalizing behaviors (EBs: hyperactivity-impulsivity, noncompliance, physical aggression) based on parent reports were repeatedly and differentially associated with separate dimensions of internalizing problems such as general anxiety, separation anxiety, and depressive…

Yucel, Meltem; Drell, Marissa B.; Jaswal, Vikram K.; Vaish, Amrisha – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Young children robustly distinguish between moral norms and conventional norms (Smetana, 1984; Yucel et al., 2020). In existing research, norms about the fair distribution of resources are by definition considered part of the moral domain; they are not distinguished from other moral norms such as those involving physical harm. Yet an understanding…

Marshall, Julia; Gollwitzer, Anton; Bloom, Paul – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Past research has demonstrated that both consequentialist motives (such as deterrence) and deontological motives (such as "just deserts") underlie children's and adults' punitive behavior. But what motives do we ascribe to others who pursue punishment? The present work explores this question by assessing which punitive motives children…

Reider, Lori B.; Kim, Emily; Mahaffey, Elise; LoBue, Vanessa – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Living with a pet is related to a host of socioemotional health benefits for children, yet few studies have examined the mechanisms that drive the relations between pet ownership and positive socioemotional outcomes. The current study examined one of the ways that pets may change the environment through which children learn and whether childhood…

Margoni, Francesco; Nava, Elena; Surian, Luca – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Most cooperative interactions involve interpersonal trust and the expectation of mutual reciprocation. Thus, understanding when and how humans acquire interpersonal trust can help unveil the origins and development of children's cooperative behavior. Here, we investigated whether prior sociomoral information about trading partners modulates the…

Halim, May Ling D.; Atwood, S.; Osornio, Alisha C.; Pauker, Kristin; Dunham, Yarrow; Olson, Kristina R.; Gaither, Sarah E. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Previous work has shown the robust nature of gender bias in both children and adults. However, much less attention has been paid toward understanding what factors shape these biases. The current preregistered study used parent surveys and child interviews to test whether parents' conversations with their children about and modeling of gender…

Hall, LaTreese V.; Rengel, Melanie; Bowley, Hannah; Alvarez-Vargas, Daniela; Abad, Carla; Overton, Dyamond; Pruden, Shannon M. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
We investigated the extent to which parents' prosocial talk and negations relate to the quantity and diversity of parents' spatial language production. We also examined similar associations among children. Participants included 51 children of ages 4-7 years and their parents recruited from South Florida. Most of the dyads included mothers and were…

Jia, Chenglong; Zhou, Tong; Shen, Yuan; Mahajan, Nitya; Qin, Jinliang – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Children develop expectations of caregivers' support-giving during early-life interactions. The present study examined whether caregivers' responsiveness would influence young children's expectations of caregivers' support-giving behavior and willingness under different situational stress levels. We manipulated the caregivers' responsiveness and…

Reynolds, Matthew R.; Niileksela, Christopher R.; Gignac, Gilles E.; Sevillano, Clarissa N. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Working memory is an often studied and important psychological construct. The growth of working memory capacity (WMC) in childhood is described as linear. Average adult WMC is estimated as either four or five "chunks." Using latent curve models of data from a measure of digit span backward that was administered longitudinally to a large…

Choe, Daniel Ewon; Deer, LillyBelle K.; Hastings, Paul D. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Prenatal and postpartum depression are highly prevalent worldwide, and emerging evidence suggests they contribute to impairments in children's executive functions. Studies of maternal depression, however, have focused on the postpartum and postnatal periods with relatively less consideration of prenatal influences on child development. This study…

Caza, Julian S.; O'Brien, Bronwyn M.; Cassidy, Kathleen S.; Ziani-Bey, Hana A.; Atance, Cristina M. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Future-oriented thought is ubiquitous in humans but challenging to study in children. Adults not only think about the future but can also represent a future state of the world that differs from the present. However, behavioral tasks to assess the development of future thought have not traditionally required children to do so as most can be solved…

Jambon, Marc; Colasante, Tyler; Malti, Tina – Developmental Psychology, 2021
This study examined the course and correlates of the happy victimizer tendency--the expectation that harming others to achieve a goal will result in positive emotional outcomes for the transgressor--from 4 to 6 years of age in a community sample of Canadian children (N = 150; 50% female; Time 1 M[subscript age] = 4.53 years, SD = 0.30; 33%…

People rely on reputational information communicated via gossip when deciding about with whom to cooperate, whom to believe, and whom to trust. In two studies, we investigated whether 5- and 7-year-old children trust in gossip when determining a course of action. In Study 1, 5- and 7-year-old German-speaking peer dyads (N = 64 dyads, 32 female…
