We examined longitudinal associations across an 8-year time span between overcontrolling parenting during toddlerhood, self-regulation during early childhood, and social, emotional, and academic adjustment in preadolescence (N = 422). Overcontrolling... |
| Childhood social preference predicts lowered risk of insulin resistance in adolescence |
2020 |

Insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, and Type II diabetes are increasingly common among young people in the United States. The quality of social relationships is a predictor of cardiometabolic health among adults, but has not been studied as a predi... |
| Developmental cascade and transactional associations among infant biological and behavioral indicators of temperament and maternal behavior |
