The Emergence of a Temporally Extended Self and Factors that Contribute to Its Development: From Theoretical and Empirical Perspectives
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lazaridis, Mary – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2013
The main aims of the current research were to determine when children develop a temporally extended self (TES) and what factors contribute to its development. However, in order to address these aims it was important to, first, assess whether the test of delayed self-recognition (DSR) is a valid measure for the development of the TES, and, second,…

Brooks-Gunn, Jeanne; Han, Wen-Jui; Waldfogel, Jane – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2010
Using data from the first 2 phases of the NICHD Study of Early Child Care, the authors examine the links between maternal employment in the first 12 months of life and cognitive, social, and emotional outcomes for children at age 3, at age 4.5, and in first grade. Drawing on theory and prior research from developmental psychology as well as…

Peters, Ray DeV.; Bradshaw, Alison J.; Petrunka, Kelly; Nelson, Geoffrey; Herry, Yves; Craig, Wendy M.; Arnold, Robert; Parker, Kevin C. H.; Khan, Shahriar R.; Hoch, Jeffrey S.; Pancer, S. Mark; Loomis, Colleen; Belanger, Jean-Marc; Evers, Susan; Maltais, Claire; Thompson, Katherine; Rossiter, Melissa D. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2010
Although comprehensive and ecological approaches to early childhood prevention are commonly advocated, there are few examples of long-term follow-up of such programs. In this monograph, we investigate the medium- and long-term effects of an ecological, community-based prevention project for primary school children and families living in three…

Dodge, Kenneth A.; Malone, Patrick S.; Lansford, Jennifer E.; Miller, Shari; Pettit, Gregory S.; Bates, John E. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2009
Although the onset of illicit substance use during adolescence can hit parents abruptly like a raging flood, its origins likely start as a trickle in early childhood. Understanding antecedent factors and how they grow into a stream that leads to adolescent drug use is important for theories of social development as well as policy formulations to…

Kagan, Jerome; Snidman, Nancy; Kahn, Vali; Towsley, Sara – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2007
This "Monograph" reports theoretically relevant behavioral, biological, and self-report assessments of a sample of 14-17-year-olds who had been classified into one of four temperamental groups at 4 months of age. The infant temperamental categories were based on observed behavior to a battery of unfamiliar stimuli. The infants classified as high…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kovas, Yulia; Haworth, Claire M. A.; Dale, Philip S.; Plomin, Robert – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2007
Despite the importance of learning abilities and disabilities in education and child development, little is known about their genetic and environmental origins in the early school years. We report results for English (which includes reading, writing, and speaking), mathematics, and science as well as general cognitive ability in a large and…

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…

The Developmental Course of Gender Differentiation: Conceptualizing, Measuring, and Evaluating Constructs and Pathways.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Liben, Lynn S.; Bigler, Rebecca S. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2002
Four studies established the reliability and validity of measures for assessing attitudes toward others and sex typing of self in occupations, activities, and traits. A fifth study provided longitudinal data from children tested 4 times from age 11 to 13 years. Data supported conceptual distinctions among individual's gender attitudes toward…

Child Emotional Security and Interparental Conflict.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Davies, Patrick T.; Harold, Gordon T.; Goeke-Morey, Marcie C.; Cummings, E. Mark – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2002
Four studies tested a theory that high interparental conflict increases child mental health risk by shaking children's sense of security in the family. Findings showed that children's fear, avoidance, and involvement were prominent responses, especially relative to reactions predicted by other theories. Interparental conflict related to greater…
