Maternal socialization of emotion : child, maternal, and relational factors 2005 2434 "Previous research has implicated maternal emotion socialization as an important predictor of children's future social competence and behavior. However, the factors related to emotion socialization strategies have yet to be explored. This study exami...
Developmental profiles of aggression across early childhood contributions of emotion regulation and maternal behavior 2006 2857 "Aggressive behavior typically peaks in toddlerhood and decreases by school entry. However, an estimated ten percent of children do not show this normative decline. In addition, persistent aggression in toddlerhood, preschool, and early childhood may...
The role of emotion regulation in children's coping with environmental stress 2009 2606 The goal of this study was to examine whether the ability to effectively regulate emotions would moderate how children respond to environmental stress. It was hypothesized that children who exhibited greater emotion regulation and less reactivity at ...
Contextual effects and early theory of mind skill development 2009 2201 This study examines the impact of maternal use of mental state language and maternal report of emotional expressivity in the family during a critical age in theory of mind development. Participants included 263 3.5 year-old children whose theory of m...
Co-occurring, externalizing, and internalizing symptoms in early childhood: child and contextual factors 2009 3526 The goal of this study was to examine patterns of co-occurring, externalizing, and internalizing symptoms across early childhood. These constructs, along with child emotionality, maternal emotion socialization (ES), and child emotion expression were ...
Predicting children's emotion regulation behaviors from maternal emotion socialization and vagal suppression 2010 4161 The relation between early maternal emotion socialization and children's emotion regulation behaviors were examined across a short-term longitudinal study. Participants were 196 children with data collected at age 3.5 and 4.5-years-old. It was hypoth...
Emotion regulation and executive functioning as predictors of theory of mind competence during early childhood. 2010 3505 The linkage between emotion regulation (ER) skills and executive functioning (EF) abilities as predictors of theory of mind skills (ToM) was examined. 263 3.5-year-old children that participated in an on-going longitudinal study were administered var...
Physical discipline and externalizing behavior problems: moderating factors 2011 1572 Growth curve modeling was used to examine the influence of physical punishment (PP) on the trajectory of externalizing behavior problems in a community sample of children across the ages of 5 to 10. In addition, negative affect (NA), emotional climat...
The socialization of emotion regulation in late childhood: the influence of friendship 2013 2259 The role of caregivers in the development of emotion regulation (ER) in infancy and early childhood has been established; however, friendships may serve an important role in socializing the ongoing development of regulatory processes starting in late...
Parental marital conflict and youth maladjustment 2012 1918 Linkages between parental reports of marital conflict and youth maladjustment have been established, but less is known about the role of youth's own perceptions of and their involvement in parental marital conflict. Drawing on family systems and soci...
Maternal sensitivity and physiological processes as predictors of infant emotion regulation 2013 1864 The current study examined the way in which regulatory processes of the central and parasympathetic nervous system are associated with one another, and linked to behavioral regulation, during both mild and moderate frustration. To gain a more compreh...
Developmental changes in electrophysiology and speech during problem-solving as predictors of inhibitory control in preschool 2019 256 The current study examined developmental changes in electrophysiological indices of frontal cortical maturity across the toddler years and assessed how variation between children in the initial level and amount of change were associated with variatio...
Autonomic nervous system functioning in early childhood: responses to laboratory challenges, individual differences, and relations to child self-regulation 2018 606 The goals of this study were (a) to examine children’s normative sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic nervous system (ANS) responses toward distinct emotional and cognitive laboratory challenges from preschool to grade 1 and to compare the magni...
The effects of family stress and negative parenting on externalizing behavior problems in children 2013 2208 The relations among family stress, negative parenting, and externalizing behavior problems were examined in a cross-sectional sample of 357 ten year-olds. To assess family stress, a composite of mother-reported strain from parenting, romantic partner...
Socio-cognitive, physiological, and behavioral predictors of preadolescent physical and relational aggression 2016 1098 Historically, aggression has received much attention in the field of psychology, because of the immediate consequences and long-lasting implications of aggressive behavior for both the victim (e.g. Card, 2003) and the perpetrator (e.g. Coie & Dodge, ...
Longitudinal changes in visual attention and EEG coherence: implications for the development of attention networks 2015 1102 Theoretical models of attention development have emphasized the role of neural networks in the emergence of attentional control towards the end of the first year of life. The current study aimed to assess the relation between neural network maturatio...
Biopsychosocial analysis of task engagement among preschool-age children 2015 785 The relation between physiological regulation, caregiver emotional support, and task engagement was examined among a diverse sample of 4-year old children (N = 244). It was predicted that physiological regulation and caregiver emotional support would...
