Dennis, Tracy A.; Buss, Kristin A.; Hastings, Paul D.; Bell, Martha Ann; Diaz, Anjolii; Adam, Emma K.; Miskovic, Vladimir; Schmidt, Louis A.; Feldman, Ruth; Katz, Lynn Fainsilber; Rigterink, Tami; Strang, Nicole M.; Hanson, Jamie L.; Pollak, Seth D.; Dahl, Ronald E.; Silk, Jennifer S.; Siegle, Greg J.; Beauchaine, Theodore P.; Cicchetti, Dante; Rogosch, Fred A.; Fox, Nathan A.; Kirwan, Michael; Reeb-Sutherland, Bethany; Gunnar, Megan R.; Obradovic, Jelena; Boyce, W. Thomas; Molenaar, Peter C. M.; Gates, Kathleen M. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2012
In the past decade, there has been a dramatic growth in research examining the development of emotion from a physiological perspective. However, this widespread use of physiological measures to study emotional development coexists with relatively few guiding principles, thus reducing opportunities to move the field forward in innovative ways. The…

Marital Conflict and Children's Externalizing Behavior: Interactions between Parasympathetic and Sympathetic Nervous System Activity
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
El-Sheikh, Mona; Kouros, Chrystyna D.; Erath, Stephen; Cummings, E. Mark; Keller, Peggy; Staton, Lori – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2009
Toward greater specificity in the prediction of externalizing problems in the context of interparental conflict, interactions between children's parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system (PNS and SNS) activity were examined as moderators. PNS activity was indexed by respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) and RSA reactivity (RSA-R) to lab…

Understanding Mother-Adolescent Conflict Discussions: Concurrent and Across-Time Prediction from Youths' Dispositions and Parenting
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Eisenberg, Nancy; Hofer, Claire; Spinrad, Tracy L.; Gershoff, Elizabeth T.; Valiente, Carlos; Losoya, Sandra; Zhou, Qing; Cumberland, Amanda; Liew, Jeffrey; Reiser, Mark; Maxon, Elizabeth – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2008
Adolescence is often thought of as a period during which the quality of parent-child interactions can be relatively stressed and conflictual. There are individual differences in this regard, however, with only a modest percent of youths experiencing extremely conflictual relationships with their parents. Nonetheless, there is relatively little…

Personality and Development in Childhood: A Person-Centered Approach.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hart, Daniel; Atkins, Robert; Fegley, Suzanne – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2003
Applied a person-centered approach to childhood personality development in 28 diverse samples of 3- to 6-year-olds studied over 6 years. Identified resilient, overcontrolled, and undercontrolled personality types. Found that the undercontrolled personality type related to intellectual decline over 6 years. The number of family risks predicted…

Setting an Agenda for a Person-Centered Approach to Personality Development.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Robins, Richard W.; Tracy, Jessica L. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2003
Describes features and benefits of the person-centered approach to studying personality, identifies unanswered questions, and suggests research directions. Benefits noted include focus on intraindividual structure, descriptive efficiency, use of types as moderator variables, predictive validity, and conceptual clarity and intuitive appeal.…

Conceptualizing, Measuring, and Evaluating the Developmental Course of Gender Differentiation: Compliments, Queries, and Quandaries.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ruble, Diane N.; Martin, Carol Lynn – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2002
Identifies contributions of Liben and Bigler's studies to gender development related to measuring self and other sex typing, developing a theoretical account of the self-other relation, and incorporating individual differences. Raises questions about measures used and interpretations of the findings. Suggests issues for future research:…

Children with Disabilities: A Longitudinal Study of Child Development and Parent Well-Being.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hauser-Cram, Penny; Warfield, Marji Erickson; Shonkoff, Jack P.; Krauss, Marty Wyngaarden – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2001
Examined longitudinally the cognitive and adaptive behavior development of children with disabilities and their families' adaptation over time. Found that children's type of disability predicted trajectories in development of cognition and social and daily living skills. Type of disability also predicted changes in maternal (but not paternal)…

Advancing Findings, Theories, and Methods Concerning Children with Disabilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hodapp, Robert M. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2001
Describes as advances of the Hauser-Cram et al. study increasing basic information about children with disabilities and their families, showing a combined organismic-contextual developmental perspective, and operationalizing tenets of developmental psychopathology. Considers as limitations: the role of etiology, the need to reconceptualize…

Across the Great Divide: Bridging the Gap between Understanding of Toddlers' and Older Children's Thinking.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Chen, Zhe; Siegler, Robert S. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2000
Analyzed 1.5- and 2.5-year-olds' problem solving and learning. Found that changes in toddlers' strategies could be assessed reliably on a trial-by-trial basis, that changes followed the basic form predicted by the overlapping waves model, and that analyses could reveal information about the qualitative and quantitative aspects of their learning.…

A Key Bridge to Understanding the Development of Thinking and Problem Solving.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Daehler, Marvin W. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2000
Discusses the importance of modeling, hints, and other information contexts for providing a link to establishing new problem-solving strategies for toddlers and older children. Discusses the use of the microgenetic approach for yielding valuable information about strategic development despite the lack of availability of verbal reports. Suggests…

Individual Differences and the Development of Perceived Control.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Skinner, Ellen A.; Connell, James P.; Zimmer-Gembeck, Melanie J. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1998
Examined age differences in the operation of beliefs-performance cycles and the effects of these cycles on the development of children's perceived control and classroom engagement from the third to the seventh grade. Found that children who experienced teachers as warm and contingent were more likely to develop optimal profiles of control. Beliefs…

A Longitudinal Twin Study of Intelligence in the Second Year.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Reznick, J. Steven; And Others – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1997
Examined data from 408 pairs of identical, same-sex fraternal twins at 14, 20, and 24 months to assess cognitive development and to identify genetic and environmental influences on phenotypic similarity. Found various patterns of development for separate constructs, for females versus males on each construct, and for individuals across constructs.…

Information Processing through the First Year of Life: A Longitudinal Study Using the Visual Expectation Paradigm.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Canfield, Richard L.; Smith, Elliott G.; Brezsnyak, Michael P.; Snow, Kyle L. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1997
Used Visual Expectation Paradigm to describe information processing changes and individual differences during first year of life. Found regular age changes in mean reaction time and variability but not in minimum reaction time, suggesting that growth rate of sensory-detection information is constant during first year but age changes occur in level…

Models of Oculomotor Variability in Infancy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Aslin, Richard N. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1997
Examines the meaning of reaction time (RT) and the possibility that it may predict other cognitive and motor skills in the first year of life. Considers two competing models that specify the information-processing components underlying RT performance. Describes the neural data needed to definitively choose between the models and considers…
