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…

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…

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…

Rhythms of Dialogue in Infancy: Coordinated Timing in Development.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Jaffe, Joseph; Beebe, Beatrice; Feldstein, Stanley; Crown, Cynthia L.; Jasnow, Michael D. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2001
Studied partner and site novelty for mother-infant, stranger-infant, and mother-stranger face-to-face interactions. Found that adult-infant vocal timing measures at age 4 months did predict attachment and cognition at age 12 months. Comparison of mother-infant and stranger-infant interactions suggested the dynamics of infants' early…

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)…

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…

The Intentionality Model and Language Acquisition: Engagement, Effort, and the Essential Tension in Development.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bloom, Lois; Tinker, Erin – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2001
Examined 2-year-olds' language acquisition with an emphasis on the agency and intentionality of the child. Concluded that development depends on the child's expression of intentionality by actions (performance), the essential tension between the child's engagement and effort, and the integration of linguistic, cognitive, and social aspects of the…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Barnett, Douglas; Vondra, Joan I. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1999
Reviews conceptual background on atypical patterns of early attachments, including basic theoretical terms and constructs of attachment theory; the nature and function of the original classification system; notions of "exceptional cases" or "atypical patterns"; and implications of atypicality for both a classification system of attachment behavior…

Maternal Sensitivity, Child Functional Level, and Attachment in Down Syndrome.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Atkinson, Leslie; Chrisholm, Vivienne C.; Scott, Brian; Goldberg, Susan; Vaughn, Brian E.; Blackwell, Janis; Dickens, Susan; Tam, Frances – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1999
Investigated the influence of child intellectual/adaptive functioning and maternal sensitivity on attachment security, using a sample of children with Down syndrome. Found a relationship between attachment security in DS related to the interaction of maternal sensitivity and cognitive competence. (JPB)

Maternal Frightened, Frightening, or Atypical Behavior and Disorganized Infant Attachment Patterns.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lyons-Ruth, Karlen; Bronfman, Elisa; Parsons, Elizabeth – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1999
Studied mothers' behavior toward their infants with disorganized (type D) attachment strategies. Found that mothers whose infants are classified disorganized exhibit an elevated level of atypical maternal behaviors in the Strange Situation test. Mothers of type D Forced Insecure infants showed more negative-intrusive behaviors and role confusion…

Stability and Change in Infant Attachment in a Low-Income Sample.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Vondra, Joan I.; Hommerding, Katherine Dowdell; Shaw, Daniel S. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1999
Investigated role of maternal characteristics and behavior, perceptions of social support, and infant characteristics to differentiate early patterns of infant security, organized insecurity and disorganization among socioeconomically disadvantaged families. Found a variety of correlations with different attachment patterns. Also found that change…

Danger and Development: The Organization of Self-Protective Strategies.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Crittenden, Patricia McKinsey – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1999
Considers alternative ways of conceptualizing patterns of attachment, arguing that danger prompts organization of protective strategies in children. Discusses issues of what is normal versus atypical; complex organization versus disorganization; neurological disorders and temperament; assessment of patterns of attachment and analysis of attachment…

Atypical Patterns of Early Attachment: Discussion and Future Directions.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Barnett, Douglas; Butler, Christine M.; Vondra, Joan I. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1999
Discusses the role of a study of atypical patterns of attachment behavior for the understanding of attachment theory, parenting, and child socioemotional development. Notes that research on atypical attachments suggest that the developmental integration of biological, psychological, and behavioral responses is more profoundly dependent on social-…

Adolescent Siblings in Stepfamilies: Family Functioning and Adolescent Adjustment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hetherington, E. Mavis; Henderson, Sandra H.; O'Connor, Thomas G.; Insabella, Glendessa M.; Taylor, Lorraine; Anderson, Edward R.; Skaggs, Monica J.; Jodl, Kathleen M.; Bridges, Margaret; Kim, Jungmeen E.; Mitchell, Anne S.; Chan, Raymond W. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1999
Examined family relationships and adjustment of two adolescent siblings in non-stepfamilies and in stabilized simple and complex stepfamilies. Found that complex stepfamilies were more different from non-stepfamilies than simple stepfamilies in which all children were fully biologically related siblings from mothers' previous marriage. Adolescents…
