DEVELOPMENTAL PROFILES OF AGGRESSION ACROSS EARLY CHILDHOOD: CONTRIBUTIONS OF EMOTION REGULATION AND MATERNAL BEHAVIOR by

Reactivity and regulation in children prenatally exposed to cocaine.

Children prenatally exposed to cocaine may be at elevated risk for adjustment problems in early development because of greater reactivity and reduced regulation during challenging tasks. Few studies have examined whether cocaine-exposed children show such difficulties during the preschool years, a period marked by increased social and cognitive demands and by rapid changes in reactivity and reg...

Interactions between maternal parenting and children's early disruptive behavior: bidirectional associations across the transition from preschool to school entry.

This study was a prospective 2-year longitudinal investigation of associations between negative maternal parenting and disruptive child behavior across the preschool to school transition. Our main goals were to 1) determine the direction of association between early maternal negativity and child disruptive behaviors across this important developmental transition and 2) examine whether there wou...

Infant physiological response to the still-face paradigm: contributions of maternal sensitivity and infants' early regulatory behavior.

The current study examined the independent and additive contributions of maternal sensitivity measured prior to and following a social stressor, and infant behaviors to infants' physiological response to the still-face paradigm (SFP) in a sample characterized by poverty-related environmental risk. Ninety-one mother/infant dyads participated in the SFP when their infants were 5 months old. Mater...
