Effects of a brief parenting intervention on Latinx mothers and their children
Parent‐Child Interactions (PCI) is a home visit parenting intervention designed to promote positive parenting and deter punitive approaches to child behavior management. With attention to the importance of providing efficacious interventions for families from diverse backgrounds, this study used a subsample from a larger randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine the efficacy of PCI intervention among Latinx participants. PCI was offered to 170…
Maternal parentification history impacts evaluative cognitions about self, parenting, and child
Parentification occurs when children are unfairly charged with fulfilling parental instrumental and emotional needs. Parentification is associated with risk to evaluative self cognitions from childhood to emerging adulthood, but this association has not yet been studied among parents. The transition to parenthood is typically characterized by declines in self‐esteem, suggesting it is a critical period for understanding the risk parentification hi…
Efficacy of a reminiscing and emotion training intervention on maltreating families with preschool-aged children
The current investigation reports the results of a randomized controlled trial of a brief, relational intervention for maltreated preschool-aged children and their mothers, called Reminiscing and Emotion Training (RET). RET facilitates elaborative and emotionally supportive parent-child communication, which is an essential component of the parent-child relationship and is especially relevant for the preschool age period. Participants were 248 chi…
Intergenerational Risk of Parentification and Infantilization to Externalizing Moderated by Child Temperament
Objective: The present study examined the intergenerational risk of instrumental filial responsibility in the first generation on children's externalizing behaviors in the next generation and examined difficult child temperament as a potential moderator of this association.Background: Filial responsibility refers to children's instrumental or emotional caregiving roles. Moderate levels of instrumental responsibility, such as age-appropriate respo…
My Baby & Me”
This study examined the efficacy of a multimodule parenting intervention, "My Baby & Me," that began prenatally and continued until children reached 2.5 years of age. The intervention targeted specific parenting skills designed to alter trajectories of maternal and child development. Of 361 high-risk mothers (193 adolescents, 168 adults) enrolled across 4 states, half were randomly assigned to the high-intensity (HI) home visitation coaching prog…
Maternal depressive symptomatology and child behavior
The present study investigated reciprocal relationships between adolescent mothers and their children's well-being through an analysis of the coupling relationship of mothers' depressive symptomatology and children's internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Unlike studies using discrete time analyses, the present study used dynamical systems to model time continuously, which allowed for the study of dynamic, transactional effects between member…
Toward an Integrative Model of Adolescent Parenting
Although considerable research has focused on the personal and social characteristics of adolescent mothers, the literature in this area lacks theoretical integration. To organize existing research and to direct future work, a model outlining the correlates and consequences of adolescent parenting is presented. It offers a specification of Belsky’s [1984] model of parenting, adapting it to the unique circumstances of the adolescent social environ…
Parent Training
Violence breeds violence
The relationships between childhood exposure to violence and adolescent conduct problems were investigated in a sample of 88 primiparous adolescent mothers and their children. Regression analyses revealed that witnessing violence and victimization prior to age 10 predicted delinquency and violent behaviors, even after controlling for prenatal maternal and early childhood externalizing problems. Social competency and depression during middle child…

Adolescent Parenting and Attachment During Infancy and Early Childhood
Objective. Prenatal parenting attitudes and parenting behaviors during infancy and early childhood were used as predictors of attachment in children of adolescent mothers at ages 1 and 5. Design. Seventy-eight adolescent mother - child dyads participated. Data were collected at five time points from the third trimester of pregnancy through the children's 5th year. Results. A high percentage of children exhibited disorganized and insecure attachme…

A Model of Adolescent Parenting
Although Belsky's (1984) model of parenting captures much of the variability in adult parenting, it is likely incomplete as an adequate account of adolescent parenting. To test an expanded model of adolescent parenting, we gathered multiple measures of four prenatal maternal variables (cognitive readiness, personal adjustment, intelligence, and social supports) during the last trimester of pregnancy, and two variables when infants were 6 months o…
Predicting Adolescent Mothers' Transition to Adulthood
This study investigates the relation among prenatal maternal resources (including intellectual ability, cognitive readiness for parenting, personal adjustment and social support), maternal perceptions about parenting and children's temperament when children were 6 months of age, and individual differences in the adaptation of 90 adolescent mothers 3 years after the birth of their first child. It was hypothesized that adolescent mothers¿ pre-exist…
Cognitive readiness to parent and intellectual-emotional development in children of adolescent mothers
Seventy adolescent mother-child dyads were assessed longitudinally to determine relationships among prenatal maternal knowledge and attitudes about parenting, evaluated in the 3rd trimester; postnatal maternal perceptions of parenting stress and child temperament as well as maternal inter-actional style, evaluated when children were 6 months of age; and intellectual, linguistic, and behavioral development at 3 years of age. Mothers who were more …
Cognitive readiness and adolescent parenting
Hayes has written that about one million young women aged 15-19 become pregnant annually resulting in 500000 live births. The adverse long-term consequences associated with adolescent pregnancy include significant loss of education higher fertility rates the increased probability of single parenthood and increased dependence upon welfare assistance. Early parenthood also has critical implications for the children of young mothers who often suffer…
Motivational components of underachievement
University of Notre DameThe goal of this study was to compare and predict academic performance in achieving and under-achieving students on the basis of motivational, affective, and metacognitive processes. Ninety-eight underachievers and 102 achievers were tested on multiple measures of ability, attributions,self-esteem, reading awareness, and reading performance. Achievers were discriminated fromunderachievers on the basis of mean differences i…
Strategy acquisition and transfer among American and German children
This study explored the differential effects of strategy training on German and American elementaryschool children and assessed the role of parents in the development of their children's strategic behavior and metacognition.184 German and 161 American children were pretested on memory and metamemory tasks.Children were then assigned to either an organizational strategy training condition or a control condition.All children were tested on the main…
Implications of Covariance Structure Analysis (Lisrel) Versus Regression Models for Counseling Research
The advent of new types of multivariate techniques, such as covariance structureanalysis, has the potential for reshaping research on counseling processes.Covariance structure analysis is more theory driven and confirmatory in naturethan regression analysis. Following a description of its strengths and weaknesses, adetailed example is provided showing how the use of covariance structure analysiscan improve research sophistication and theory devel…
Metamemory and Motivation
The interrelationships among metamemory, intelligence, attributional beliefs, self-concept, and strategy use were investigated in 102 German and 91 American children. After pretest assessment, -children in the experimental conditions were trained to use a cluster-rehearsal strategy on a Sort Recall task. Posttraining assessments included tests of strategy maintenance, near-transfer, and task-related metamemorial knowledge. The two samples differe…

The Metamemory-Memory “Connection”
This study addressed the relationship between task-specific indices of metamemory and subsequent strategic behaviors as shown during the training and maintenance of a cumulative-cluster strategy. Trained and noninstructed groups of both male and female (N = 50) third graders participated in three sessions (two acquisition and one maintenance), intervening between metamemory sessions; a third group participated only in two metamemory sessions. Hal…
Effects of Anxiety on Storage and Retrieval Processes in Short-Term Memory
The effects of anxiety on storage and retrieval processes in short-term memory were investigated. 8-word units of high and low encodability were tested under conditions of free and prompted recall using strong or weak cues. Results during both test periods showed superior recall under conditions of strong cueing, high encodability, and low anxiety. An interpretation localizing the effects of anxiety in trace formation or storage phases was favore…
