Parenting style plays an important role in children's externalizing behaviors. Differences in physiological regulation among children may lead to variations in whether or to what extent parenting style influences them. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of parenting styles on young children's development of externalizing behaviors…

Yi-Shan Sung; Chung-Ying Lin; Shin Ying Chu; Ling-Yi Lin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Emotion dysregulation is one of the challenges that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families face. It is unclear whether emotion dysregulation plays a mediating role in the relationship between sensory processing patterns and problem behaviors among these children. This study examined the relations between emotion…

This study used data from 435 teacher-child dyads in early childhood classrooms to examine the extent to which teachers' use of behavior specific praise (BSP) with children screened for elevated rates of externalizing behaviors was influenced by the intensity of child challenging behavior and gender. Observational assessments indicated that…

Jennifer Gosselin Hills; Sandy K. Bowen – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2025
This study used an intrinsic case study to investigate how interventions from applied behavior analysis impacted language development, academic progress, and the reduction of severe challenging behaviors for an 8-year-old child who is Deaf and autistic. 3 main themes were identified: language acquisition, behavioral change strategies, and academic…

Glen Dunlap; Abby Hodges; Phillip S. Strain; Jaclyn Joseph; Edward Bovey – Preventing School Failure, 2024
Managing disruptive or challenging behavior has been cited as one of the top concerns of early care and education providers. Equipping staff with feasible behavior management strategies is paramount in reducing the occurrence of challenging behaviors in the classroom and negating the need for more intrusive interventions. This article discusses…

Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia Reactivity (RSA-R) correlates both positively and negatively with externalizing behaviour in autistic individuals. These inconsistencies may result from task-based differences. This pilot study measured RSA-R in 4-to 6-year-olds, across two timepoints, using four validated tasks with matched baseline and challenge…

Georgia Cronshaw; Emily Midouhas – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Autistic children show higher rates of co-occurring emotional and behavioural difficulties compared to other children in the general population. However, the environmental factors which contribute to the development of emotional (internalising) and behavioural (externalising) difficulties in autistic individuals are poorly understood. This study…

Direct observation of classroom behavior in young children enriches our understanding of their behavior in its natural context, informing both assessment and intervention strategies to foster supportive learning environments. However, a notable gap in the literature concerning effective direct observation tools specifically designed for this…

Allison P. Mugno; Lindsay C. Malloy – Applied Developmental Science, 2024
115, 6-9-year-olds (M age = 7.47 years) participated in a scripted event during which the child's mother or a stranger broke a forbidden puppet and requested secrecy. Then, children were either (1) primed for the goal of honesty (prime), (2) asked to promise to tell the truth (oath), or (3) given no instructions (control) before responding to…

Chronic absenteeism in early childhood is associated with numerous adverse outcomes throughout childhood and adolescence. Interventions are needed to prevent chronic absenteeism and support child development in early education. The present study investigated the effect of Primary Project, a school-based prevention program, on average school…

Diego I. Barcala-Delgado; Katherine P. Blumstein; Jose Luis Galiana; Sheryl L. Olson – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2024
Parents' cultural beliefs are associated with their children's socialization and development. Researchers have examined these associations through the lens of parents' ethnotheories, which refer to parents' implicit beliefs about children's developmentally appropriate behavior. In contrast to prior work focused on parents' ethnotheories of…

Alfredo Bautista; Kate E. Williams; Kerry Lee; Siu-Ping Ng – Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education, 2024
Self-regulation is arguably one of the most crucial predictors of school readiness, academic achievement, and lifelong well-being. While educators in the prior-to-school years have a pivotal role to play in stimulating growth in early self-regulation, less is known about their knowledge and practices in this area. This interview study was…

Linda Palla; Jessica Eng – Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2024
Using an intersectional analysis, this article critically analyses implied and expressed norms to identify perceptions of appropriate behaviour in children's play, and to explore how social communicative arenas such as Internet forums construct knowledge and values. Adults' responses to an incident that occurred amongst a group of children in…

Kelsey, Caroline M.; Modico, Margaret A.; Richards, John E.; Bosquet Enlow, Michelle; Nelson, Charles A. – Child Development, 2023
Frontal asymmetry (FA), the difference in brain activity between the left versus right frontal areas, is thought to reflect approach versus avoidance motivation. This study (2012-2021) used functional near-infrared spectroscopy to investigate if infant (M[subscript age] = 7.63 months; N = 90; n = 48 male; n = 75 White) FA in the dorsolateral…

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms affect 40-60% of autistic children and have been linked to differences in adaptive behavior. It is unclear whether adaptive behavior in autistic youth is directly impacted by co-occurring ADHD symptoms or by another associated feature of both autism and ADHD, such as increased irritability.…
