Daily Parental Positive Experiences Are Linked to Better Daily Parenting Practice Through Reduced Stress and Depressive Mood
Studies have found that parents' cumulative protective and compensatory experiences (PACEs) can protect parenting quality from stress and mental health issues and promote positive parenting through elevated mental health. Existing studies have focused primarily on between‐person comparison, but resilience is a dynamic within‐person process that unfolds across time. Using a 100‐day daily diary design, this study collected 3359 daily observations f…
Quality time in quarantine
Objective This study examined the impact of quality time spent with family in modifying the relationship between various negative home and social consequences of the pandemic and subsequent social and behavioral outcomes. Background Adverse consequences related to economic, health, and social factors were brought about by the COVID‐19 pandemic. In other contexts, family protective factors and resiliency have been found to mitigate similar adverse…

This study explores the effects of the two-generation program CareerAdvance—which combines education and training for parents in healthcare with Head Start for children—on children's academic, language, mathematics, and inhibitory control followed for 3 years. The sample (collected in Tulsa, Oklahoma from 2011 to 2018) includes 147 children in the CareerAdvance group and 139 children in a matched comparison group (n = 286; 40% Black, 17%, White, …
Promotive and Buffering Effects of Protective and Compensatory Experiences on Mental Health and Adjustment in Young Adults
Adverse childhood Experiences (ACEs) are considered a major public health crisis. Protective and Compensatory Experiences (PACEs) may help to ameliorate the effects of ACEs on young adult well-being. This study examined the moderating role of childhood PACEs on the effects of ACEs on depression, anxiety, substance use, and emotion regulation (ER) difficulties in a sample of 550 (73% female, m age = 20 yrs.) undergraduate students. ACEs were assoc…
The effects of a two-generation English as a second language (ESL) intervention on immigrant parents and children in Head Start
We present results of a randomized control trial of a two-generation English as a Second Language (ESL) program in which all families participated in Head Start while treatment parents also enrolled in a high dosage, family-focused ESL curriculum with supportive services. Examining 197 parent-child dyads among Spanish- (89%) and Zomi-speaking (11%) immigrant families, we found improvements in participant parents’ English reading skills and engage…
Dismantling systems of racism and oppression during adolescence
In reflecting on the collection of work in the recent Journal of Research on Adolescence special series and what it means for research to dismantle systems of racism and oppression, we call for adolescent development researchers to embrace anti-racist research. We describe a set of strategies for conceptualizing, conducting, and disseminating research with adolescents using an anti-racist lens. These strategies flow from tenets of anti-racist res…

Evaluation of a Parent Education Program Emphasizing Responsive Parenting and Mindfulness
Extracurricular Activities, Screen Media Activity, and Sleep May Be Modifiable Factors Related to Children’s Cognitive Functioning
This study used a machine learning framework in conjunction with a large battery of measures from 9,718 school-age children (ages 9–11) from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive DevelopmentSM (ABCD) Study to identify factors associated with fluid cognitive functioning (FCF), or the capacity to learn, solve problems, and adapt to novel situations. The identified algorithm explained 14.74% of the variance in FCF, replicating previously reported socioecon…
Into the Unknown
The parent–adolescent relationship is important for adolescents’ emotion regulation (ER), yet little is known regarding the neural patterns of dyadic ER that occur during parent–adolescent interactions. A novel measure that can be used to examine such patterns is cross-brain connectivity (CBC)—concurrent and time-lagged connectivity between two individuals’ brain regions. This study sought to provide evidence of CBC and explore associations betwe…
