Children’s Emotion Regulation and Subjective Stress During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Parent–child relationship quality buffers the association between mothers' adverse childhood experiences and physiological synchrony
BACKGROUND: Family environment plays a critical role in shaping stress response systems. Concordance between mothers' and children's physiological states, specifically their Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA), reflects dyadic co-regulation. Negative or weakened RSA synchrony during interactions is linked to various psychosocial risks, but existing research has focused on risks in the mother or child as opposed to the dyad. This study examined the…
First-Generation College Students Talk About Social Class Socialization and Identity
How social class identity develops within first-generation college students (FGCS) and their families is not understood. This study explored FGCS’ retrospective narratives of how parental socialization about social class helped shape their identities and adjustment in college. Focus group data was analyzed from 21 FGCS from socioeconomic and racial-ethnically diverse backgrounds (Mage =19.43 years, 67% female) at a historically white, private uni…
Parental Emotion Socialization Predicts Early Adolescents’ Emotion Regulation
Bolstering emerging adolescents' emotion regulation may help promote resilience to emotional disorders. This may be especially critical among offspring of parents who have experienced trauma, who are at increased risk of mental health problems. This study examines the influence of parental emotion socialization on emerging adolescents' behavioral and physiological regulation. Thirty-two parents who experienced interpersonal trauma and their 9- to…
Family communication and child behavior problems during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic posed challenges for many families, with wide-ranging implications for children's mental health. While much prior research has emphasized the developmental harms associated with the pandemic, this study examines how family communication may serve as a protective factor, buffering the impact of COVID-19-related stress on children's internalizing and externalizing problems. Participants included 144 predominantly Black, low-in…
Disrupting the family stress-proximal process
Intimate partner violence and preschool self‐regulation
The ways that parents respond to children's negative emotions shape the development of self-regulation across early childhood. The objective of this study was to examine child self-regulation in the context of intimate partner violence (IPV) exposure in a sample of Black, economically marginalized mothers and their young children (aged 3-5 years, N = 99). The study investigates the conditional effects of emotion socialization practices that (1) e…
Colonial Continuities in Independent Mauritius
This article generates a fresh perspective on notions of colonial continuity broadly and Mauritian governance specifically. I argue that Mauritius’ immediate postcolonial governance was characterised by colonial continuity rather than rupture through three core examples: first, the government’s maintenance of a constitution negotiated under imperialism that reinforced colonially defined community divisions and also gave successive Mauritian elite…
Health, Neighborhoods, and School Readiness from the Parent Perspective
The objective of this qualitative study was to address existing gaps in the literature by gathering parent perspectives on both health and school readiness in regard to neighborhood context, specifically parents' perceived level of neighborhood safety and support, on physical health and the behavioral and cognitive domains of school readiness. Focus groups were conducted with a total of 28 parents or caregivers whose children attended Early Head …
An intersectional perspective on the intergenerational transmission of trauma and state‐perpetrated violence
We utilize intersectionality as the framework for analyzing and critiquing the literature on the intergenerational transmission of trauma in early childhood. In particular, we assess the extent to which the literature replicates the oppression of marginalized and minoritized children and families by deemphasizing traumas and traumatic processes that are attributable to interlocking systems of oppression. In addition, building on the emphasis on s…
Family social support buffers the intergenerational association of maternal adverse childhood experiences and preschoolers’ externalizing behavior
Despite previous work demonstrating that an accumulation of maternal adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) is associated with negative health outcomes across generations, few studies have investigated protective factors beyond the parent-child dyad in the intergenerational transmission of adversity. The current study extends previous findings by examining maternal family social support as a culturally relevant buffer in the association between mot…
Widening the Circle of Security
This pilot program evaluation was undertaken to examine the effectiveness of an attachment‐based, group professional‐development experience, Circle of Security‐Parenting, on family childcare (FCC) providers' psychological resources and self‐efficacy in managing children's challenging behaviors and supporting children's socioemotional development. Licensed FCC providers with children actively in their care ( n = 34) self‐selected into the program,…
Growth trajectories of early aggression, overactivity, and inattention
The link between behavior problems and low academic achievement is well established, but few studies have examined longitudinal relations between early externalizing behaviors before school entry and low academic achievement following transition to formal schooling. Early inattention has been particularly overlooked, despite strong associations between inattention and reading difficulties later in development. Trajectories of infant and toddler a…
