Here, I present two studies related to children’s learning and one more on autnomy. Park et al. (2023) published “Parental Intrusive Homework Support and Math Achievement: Does the child’s mindset matter?” in Developmental Psychology. Here’s the edited abstract and impact statement with some information in bold:

In May 2023, the APA published “APA Panel Issues Recommendations for Adolescent Social Media Use.” Here’s the text:

This is a longer than usual post because I find behavioral inhibition fascinating and this study is very well done. Anaya et al. (2023) published “Developmental Trajectories of Behavioral Inhibition from Infancy to Age Seven: The role of genetic and environmental risk for psychopathology” in Child Development. Here’s the edited abstract and article with some key information in bold:

I have indicated before that I like research on attachment. This is an important paper. Cao, Zhou & Leerkes (2023) published “Primiparous Mothers’ Parenting Self-Efficacy in Managing Toddler Distress: Childhood nonsupportive emotion socialization, adult attachment style, and toddler temperament as antecedents” in Emotion.

This is a long one because I haven’t found a lot on loneliness and I have been intrigued by behavioral inhibition since Kagan first talked about it. Verhagen, Derks, Roelofs & Maciejewski (2022) published “Behavioral Inhibition, Negative Parenting, and Social Withdrawal: Longitudinal associations with loneliness during early, middle, and late adolescence” in Child Development. Here’s an edited version of the article with some information in bold:

McCurdy & Russell (2023) published “Perceived Parental Social Support and Psychological Control Predict Depressive Symptoms for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, or Questioning Youth in the United States” in Child Development. I have edited both the abstract and the article and added bold for major findings:

Today, I am presenting two studies of parenting. The first a positive approach and the second focused on predictors of harsh parenting and recommended interventions. First, Resnik, Garbacz, Stormshak & McIntyre (2023) published “Family-centered Prevention to Enhance Proactive Parenting and Parental Self-Efficacy During Early Elementary School” in Journal of Family Psychology. Here’s the abstract:

I am presenting abstracts of two studies related to exhaustion and sleep. In the first, Blanchard, Hoebeke & Heeren (2023) published “Parental Burnout Features and the Family Context: A temporal network approach in mothers” in Journal of Family Psychology. Here’s the abstract with some information in bold:

Here, I summarize four articles related to understanding those different from the self. The first article, which is available in full text, has the longest summary: Scott, Ash, Immel, Liebeck, Devine & Shutts (2022) published “Engaging White Parents to Address Their White Children's Racial Biases in the Black-White Context” in Child Development. Here’s the edited article:

I am presenting studies of preschool, elementary, and teenage children, as well of one of parents’ attitudes. In the first study, Mou, Zhang & Hyde (2022) published “Directionality in the Interrelations Between Approximate Number, Verbal Number, and Mathematics in Preschool-Aged Children” in Child Development. Here’s the abstract:

Speyer, Hang, Hall & Murray (2022) published “The role of harsh parenting practices in early- to middle-childhood socioemotional development: An examination in the Millennium Cohort Study” in Child Development.

Carone, Gartrell, Rothblum, Koh & Bos (2022) published “Helicopter Parenting, Emotional Avoidant Coping, Mental Health, and Homophobic Stigmatization Among Emerging Adult Offspring of Lesbian Parents” in Journal of Family Psychology. I was interested in this study because helicopter parenting has been studied in younger children but I had not seen research on young adults with lesbian parents. Here’s the abstract:

The Harvard Gazette published “Parents Are So Wrong About Teenage Sleep and Health” on September 28, 2022. They summarize results of a survey conducted by researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

Xia (2022) published “Different Families, Diverse Strengths: Long-term implications of early childhood family processes on adolescent positive functioning” in Developmental Psychology. I like research that focuses on different models of family functioning. The sample size here and its diversity are acceptable. Here’s the abstract:
