Elizabeth A. Shewark; Alexandra Y. Vazquez; Amber L. Pearson; Kelly L. Klump; S. Alexandra Burt – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Neighborhood is a key context where children learn to process social information; however, the field has largely overlooked the ways children's individual characteristics might be moderated by neighborhood effects. We examined 1,030 six- to 11-year-olds (48.7% female; 82% White) twin pairs oversampled for neighborhood disadvantage from the Twin…

Gustavson, Kristin; Torvik, Fartein A.; Eilertsen, Espen M.; Ask, Helga; McAdams, Tom A.; Hannigan, Laurie J.; Reichborn-Kjennerud, Ted; Ystrom, Eivind; Gjerde, Line C. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often experience co-occurring emotional problems. ADHD with this comorbidity is associated with poorer outcomes than ADHD without comorbidity. Better understanding of the etiology of comorbidity could improve prevention of negative outcomes for children with ADHD. The sample consisted…

Saunders, Gretchen R. B.; Liu, Mengzhen; Vrieze, Scott; McGue, Matt; Iacono, William G. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Parent-child similarity is a function of genetic and environmental transmission. In addition, genetic effects not transmitted to offspring may drive parental behavior, thereby affecting the rearing environment of the child. Measuring genetic proclivity directly, through polygenic risk scores (PRSs), provides a way to test for the effect of…

Li-Gao, Ruifang; Boomsma, Dorret I.; Dolan, Conor V.; De Geus, Eco J. C.; Denollet, Johan; Kupper, Nina – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Feeling inhibited and socially not at ease is reflected in the trait social inhibition (SI). SI is associated with psychopathology that arises in young adulthood, such as anxiety. We aim for a better insight into the genetic and environmental contributions to SI across the life span, and as such examine their contributions to SI stability and…

Dysregulation of biological stress response, as measured by cortisol output, has been a primary candidate mechanism for how social experiences become biologically embedded. Cortisol is the primary output of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis. Cortisol levels vary systematically across the day and change in response to both sudden, acute…

Stallings, Michael C.; Neppl, Tricia – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Personality variables are associated with educational attainment and socioeconomic outcomes. In this study we incorporated a polygenic score derived from the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) of educational attainment to date (Lee et al., 2018) into the Interactionist Model of R. D. Conger, Martin, and Masarik (2021) that describes the…

Donnellan, M. Brent; Martin, Monica J.; Senia, Jennifer M. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Genetic and environmental factors account for variability in a range of developmental outcomes, including socioeconomic status (SES). The challenge is to find ways to incorporate genetic information based on studies using biologically related family members (i.e., studies not involving twins). To address this issue, we computed polygenic scores…

Wertz, Jasmin; Belsky, Jay; Moffitt, Terrie E.; Belsky, Daniel W.; Harrington, HonaLee; Avinun, Reut; Poulton, Richie; Ramrakha, Sandhya; Caspi, Avshalom – Developmental Psychology, 2019
Twin studies have documented that parenting behavior is partly heritable, but it is unclear how parents' genetics shape their caregiving. Using tools of molecular genetics, the present study investigated this process by testing hypotheses about associations between a genome-wide polygenic score for educational attainment and parental caregiving in…

Given the importance of writing for academic achievement, this study aimed to understand how early oral language contributes to later writing skills. The first objective was to determine if preschool language skills were associated with high school writing, and if so, whether they contributed directly or indirectly through school age language. The…

Fujisawa, Keiko K.; Todo, Naoya; Ando, Juko – Developmental Psychology, 2019
Identifying the cognitive capacities associated with the development of school readiness is indispensable to support children's successful school transition. It has been shown that executive function (EF) in preschoolers is associated with both concurrent preacademic and subsequent academic skills. However, most research has controlled for the…

Patterson, Megan W.; Mann, Frank D.; Grotzinger, Andrew D.; Tackett, Jennifer L.; Tucker-Drob, Elliot M.; Harden, K. Paige – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Symptoms of anxiety and depression are commonly comorbid and partially share a genetic etiology. Mean levels of anxiety and depression increase over the transition to adolescence, particularly in girls, suggesting a possible role of pubertal development in the activation of underlying genetic risks. The current study examined how genetic and…

Lubke, Gitta H.; McArtor, Daniel B.; Boomsma, Dorret I.; Bartels, Meike – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Longitudinal data from a large sample of twins participating in the Netherlands Twin Register (n = 42,827, age range 3-16) were analyzed to investigate the genetic and environmental contributions to childhood aggression. Genetic auto-regressive (simplex) models were used to assess whether the same genes are involved or whether new genes come into…

Robertson, Olivia C.; Marceau, Kristine; Duncan, Robert J.; Shirtcliff, Elizabeth A.; Leve, Leslie D.; Shaw, Daniel S.; Natsuaki, Misaki; Neiderhiser, Jenae M.; Ganiban, Jody M. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
The thrifty phenotype and fetal overnutrition hypotheses are two developmental hypotheses that originated from the "developmental origins of health and disease" (DOHaD) perspective. The DOHaD posits that exposures experienced prenatally and early in life may influence health outcomes through altering form and function of internal organs…

George B. Richardson; Daniel Bates; Amy Ross; Hexuan Liu; Brian B. Boutwell – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Many developmental theories have not been sufficiently evaluated using designs that control for unobserved familial confounds. Our long-term goal is to determine the causal structure underlying associations between early environmental conditions and later psychosocial and health outcomes. Our overall objective in this study was to further evaluate…

Gustavson, Daniel E.; Friedman, Naomi P.; Stallings, Michael C.; Reynolds, Chandra A.; Coon, Hilary; Corley, Robin P.; Hewitt, John K.; Gordon, Reyna L. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Individual differences in music traits are heritable and correlated with the development of cognitive and communication skills, but little is known about whether diverse modes of music engagement (e.g., playing instruments vs. singing) reflect similar underlying genetic/environmental influences. Moreover, the biological etiology underlying the…
