Cochran, Kara A.; Bogat, G. Anne; Levendosky, Alytia A.; Nuttall, Amy K.; Bayerl, Georgia; Martinez-Torteya, Cecilia – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2022
Exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with children's internalizing and externalizing problems. IPV is thought to impair mothers' ability to scaffold young children's emotion regulation through coregulated interactions. Mother-child language style matching (LSM) is an index of coregulation that has yet to be examined in…

Savoy, Sarah; Faragó, Flóra; Khaleghi, Neusha; Sanchez, Emily A.; DeGuenther, Abigail; Thompson, Jasmine N. – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2022
According to Egan and Perry's (2001) multidimensional model of gender identity, gender typicality should be positively related to, and feeling pressure to conform to gender norms should be negatively related to, well-being. In a cross-sectional study of 6- to 11-year-old girls (N = 120), measures of gender typicality (i.e., gender similarity),…

Oh, Dajung Diana; Pomerantz, Eva M. – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2022
Parent-teacher conferences are considered an important bridge between home and school, but there are little data on what teachers discuss during these conferences and whether it is linked to parents' involvement in children's schooling. Parent-teacher conferences (N = 431) with parents of young elementary school children (mean age 7.68 years) were…

Kayyal, Mary H.; Widen, Sherri C. – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2021
When asked to describe possible elicitors of fear, American children generate more stories about imaginary creatures than realistic ones; Palestinian children generate more realistic than imaginary causes (Kayyal et al., 2015). The current study reversed this task to investigate whether these patterns persist when American (n = 72) and Palestinian…

Evans, Angela D.; Dykstra, Victoria W.; Bruer, Kaila; Price, Heather L. – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2021
Lies to benefit the collective are common in adult contexts; however, less is known about children's willingness to lie for the collective. The present study examined 7- to 11-year-old children's tendency to lie to conceal a group transgression. Children (N = 408) participated in a competition in small groups during which the group leaders…

Persram, Ryan J.; Schwartzman, Emily; Bukowski, William M. – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2021
The hypothesis that the concurrent associations between friendship features and friendship satisfaction are moderated by security-related experiences within the family was examined with two sets of analyses conducted with a sample of fifth- and sixth-grade students (M = 10.87, SD = 0.73, range 10-13 years). The main hypothesis of the study was…

Morrow, Michael T.; Hubbard, Julie A.; Bookhout, Megan K.; Grassetti, Stevie N.; Docimo, Marissa A.; Swift, Lauren E. – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2021
Childhood peer victimization is prevalent and harmful; thus, it is critical to carefully assess this construct. We extended an existing measure to create the Forms of Peer Victimization Scale (FPVS), which assesses multiple forms of peer victimization via self and teacher report. Participants included 1,440 fourth- and fifth-grade children (50%…

Duong, Mylien T.; Badaly, Daryaneh; Ross, Alexandra C.; Schwartz, David – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2021
Previous research has shown that adolescent peer groups play a role in maintaining and exacerbating demographic differences in achievement. However, there is still limited knowledge about the malleable factors that contribute to these achievement disparities. This short-term longitudinal study examined one such malleable factor--namely, perceived…
