Beyond Linear Risk
The goal of this study was to investigate the contextual nature of prenatal depression (PND) and postpartum depression (PPD). We report an investigation of maternal PND and PPD using nonrandomly clustered data from 8,936 mothers in 16 cohorts in the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Cohort. We used a recursive partitioning algorithm (ctree) to account for differential effects arising from predictor and effect heterogeneity …
Omnisubjectivity
In this engaging and sharply written book, Linda Zagzebski thoroughly explores an underdiscussed question for classical theistic metaphysics: whether and how God is ‘omnisubjective’, perfectly grasping creaturely conscious states as they are experienced by their subjects. She argues that theists have several strong reasons to suppose that God is omnisubjective; offers four ways one might understand this divine capacity, each with pros and cons; r…
Freedom, flourishing, and fairness
Response to Swinburne : Richard Swinburne (this volume) extends a form of theodicy which he has defended previously (e.g., 1998). Its central element is the high value it assigns to morally good or bad difference-making resulting from free choices—for the choosers themselves, for those impacted by their choices, and for the world as a whole—and (relatedly) to the ability to form our own character. It proposes that it is permissible for God to cre…
Psychological factors affecting breastfeeding during the perinatal period in the UK
This study extends previous findings about the importance of intention to breastfeed to breastfeeding behaviour and suggests that suffering from affective symptoms does not inhibit breastfeeding. Antenatal intention to breastfeed can play a crucial role in shaping both maternal and child health outcomes
Wildfire-specific fine particulate matter and preterm birth
Do small effects matter more in vulnerable populations? an investigation using Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (Echo) cohorts
Vulnerable sub-populations with greater baseline percentages at high risk fare worse when exposed to a small insult compared to the general population. This illustrates another facet of health disparity in vulnerable individuals
Demographic and health characteristics associated with fish and n -3 fatty acid supplement intake during pregnancy
Objective: n -3 fatty acid consumption during pregnancy is recommended for optimal pregnancy outcomes and offspring health. We examined characteristics associated with self-reported fish or n -3 supplement intake. Design: Pooled pregnancy cohort studies. Setting: Cohorts participating in the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) consortium with births from 1999 to 2020. Participants: A total of 10 800 pregnant women in twenty-t…
Prenatal maternal immune activation predicts observed fearfulness in infancy
Fear reactivity is an early emerging temperament trait that predicts longer term behavioral and health outcomes. The current analysis tests the hypothesis, an extension of prior research on maternal immune activation (MIA), that the prenatal maternal immune system is a reliable predictor of observed fear reactivity in infancy. The analysis is based on a prospective longitudinal cohort study that collected data from the first trimester and conduct…
Adverse Childhood Experiences Predict Diurnal Cortisol Throughout Gestation
OBJECTIVE: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with negative prenatal and perinatal health outcomes and may, via these pathways, have intergenerational effects on child health and development. We examine the impact of ACEs on maternal salivary cortisol, a key measure of prenatal biology previously linked with pregnancy-related health outcomes. METHODS: Leveraging assessments across three trimesters, we used linear mixed-effects mo…
Effects of Covid-19 Financial and Social Hardships on Infants’ and Toddlers’ Development in the Echo Program
Negative developmental changes from pre- to during-pandemic were found in boys, yet we did not find any associations between increased experience of pandemic-related hardships and children's development. E how pandemic hardships affect development using a larger sample size and with longer follow-up is warranted
Developing a National-Scale Exposure Index for Combined Environmental Hazards and Social Stressors and Applications to the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (Echo) Cohort
Tools for assessing multiple exposures across several domains (e.g., physical, chemical, and social) are of growing importance in social and environmental epidemiology because of their value in uncovering disparities and their impact on health outcomes. Here we describe work done within the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO)-wide Cohort Study to build a combined exposure index. Our index considered both environmental hazards…
A good investment
BACKGROUND: Good quality parenting in early childhood is reliably associated with positive mental and physical health over the lifespan. The hypothesis that early parenting quality has significant long-term financial benefits has not been previously tested. METHODS: Design: Longitudinal study with follow-up from 2012 to 2016. SETTING: UK multicentre study cohort (London, South-East England). PARTICIPANTS: 174 young people drawn from 2 samples, on…
Associations between combined exposure to environmental hazards and social stressors at the neighborhood level and individual perinatal outcomes in the Echo-wide cohort
Metaphysical Emergence
Jessica Wilson’s Metaphysical Emergence is the product of two decades of thought, worked out in more than two dozen articles. In it, she seeks to understand the way(s) that a variety of complex natural entities (whether objects, properties, states, events, or processes) manifest dependence with autonomy in relation to constituting or otherwise sustaining less complex entities. Wilson provides a detailed, well-conceived, and clarifying taxonomy of…
Children's appraisals of threat in pediatric cancer
Although many children with cancer cope well with challenges, some experience distress that results in poor adjustment. Children's perceptions of threat may be one explanation for heterogeneity in outcomes, but relatively little is known about what children find threatening. This study aimed to describe the threats that children report. Youth (4–18 years old) newly diagnosed with cancer and their primary/parent caregivers (PC) participated in a m…
Stress and physiology in clinical research with risk-exposed children
Research findings from diverse studies converge in suggesting that the experience of early severe and protracted stress is associated with a wide range of behavioural and physical health problems. The public health and clinical implications of these findings are substantial, but their successful applications to improve child health have been limited. What is clear is that this successful application depends, at least in part, on a clear understan…
Validation of the Comprehensive General Parenting Questionnaire and associations with children's eating behavior and BMI
Psychiatric Symptoms and Proinflammatory Cytokines in Pregnancy
OBJECTIVE: Clinical studies suggest that psychiatric symptoms, particularly depression, anxiety, and trauma, may be associated with inflammation, as indexed by proinflammatory cytokines. Such a link may be especially significant in pregnancy and may shed additional light on the etiology of perinatal mood disorders. METHODS: We prospectively observed 145 women selected from a community obstetric clinic serving a primarily low-income, high-psychoso…
Assessing the Concept of the ‘Insecure‐Other’ Category in the Cassidy–Marvin Scheme
We set out to explore the meaning of the attachment categories in the Cassidy/Marvin strange situation procedure, as employed in the home, using data from a longitudinal study of children adopted into UK families up to the age of 42 months from Romanian institutions, and of adopted children without the experience of institutional care––both groups being assessed at 4 and 6 years of age. Inter‐rater reliability was found to be good. Security (mean…
Children's Perspectives on Their Relationships With Grandparents Following Parental Separation
Following parental separation, children's closeness to grandparents has been reported to be linked to their family situation and differences in adjustment. This relationship has not been investigated longitudinally. This study investigated children's relationships with grandparents over time in different family settings, and associations with intergenerational relationships. Data from 385 children, with longitudinal analyses on 140, were collecte…
Normality and impairment following profound early institutional deprivation
Longitudinal analyses on normal versus impaired functioning across 7 domains were conducted in children who had experienced profound institutional deprivation up to the age of 42 months and were adopted from Romania into U.K. families. Comparisons were made with noninstitutionalized children adopted from Romania and with nondeprived within-U.K. adoptees placed before the age of 6 months. Specifically, the validity of the assessment, the degree of…
Service use by families with children adopted from Romania
Service use between six and 11 years of age is reported for children adopted from Romania into UK families, and compared with that for children adopted within the UK before six months of age. Between six and 11, there had been only one adoption breakdown, and about one in ten couples experienced a marital breakdown. Apart from continuing concerns over hepatitis B carrier status in a small number of children, physical health problems were not a pr…
Are There Biological Programming Effects for Psychological Development? Findings From a Study of Romanian Adoptees
Associations between experiences and outcomes could be due to (a) continuation of adversity or (b) organismic changes, including experience-expectant and experience-adaptive developmental programming. The adoption into British families of children who had been reared in profoundly depriving institutions in Romania presented an opportunity to test mechanisms. Romanian children reared from infancy in very depriving institutions for periods up to 42…
A Behavioral Genetic Study of the Overlap Between Personality and Parenting
The current study had three aims. The first was to examine the covariation between personality of parents and parenting behaviors. The second aim was to examine the genetic and environmental influences on parenting behaviors. The third aim was to examine the extent to which the association between personality and parenting was mediated by genetic and environmental factors. Personality (Five Factor Model, NEO‐FFI) and parenting data were collected…
Using the Stepfamily Genetic Design to Examine Gene-Environment Processes in Child and Family Functioning
Studying children in different types of families-intact, single-mother, and stepparent families-affords opportunities for testing models of gene-environment processes, based on estimates of sibling similarity among full-siblings and half-siblings. We used a stepfamily quantitative genetic design to estimate genetic and environmental sources of variance in children's behavior problems and prosocial behaviors, as well as negativity in their relatio…
The role of the shared family context in differential parenting
This article examines the role of the shared family context in understanding differential parental treatment of children. Child-specific and family-context predictors of differential parental positivity and negativity were examined using multilevel modeling in a population of 8,476 children nested in 3,762 families. Child age was the strongest child-specific predictor of positivity and differential positivity. Lower socioeconomic status (SES), ma…

Genotype–environment correlations in late childhood and early adolescence
A key question for understanding the interplay between nature and nurture in development is the direction of effects in socialization. A longitudinal adoption design provides a unique opportunity to investigate this issue in terms of genotype-environment correlations for behavioral problems. As part of the Colorado Adoption Project, adopted children were classified as being at genetic risk (N = 38) or not at genetic risk (N = 50) for antisocial b…
Autonomy and Relatedness in Family Interactions as Predictors of Expressions of Negative Adolescent Affect
This study examined the connection between adolescents' expressions of negative affect and their attempts to meet the developmental task of establishing autonomy and relatedness in interactions with their parents. Longitudinal, observational data were obtained by coding family interaction tasks administered to 96 adolescents at ages 14 and 16 and their one or two parents. These were then related to observer-rated adolescent depressive affect in a…

Are associations between parental divorce and children's adjustment genetically mediated? An adoption study
The hypothesis that the association between parental divorce and children's adjustment is mediated by genetic factors was examined in the Colorado Adoption Project, a prospective longitudinal study of 398 adoptive and biological families. In biological families, children who experienced their parents' separation by the age of 12 years exhibited higher rates of behavioral problems and substance use, and lower levels of achievement and social adjus…
Systems and Bidirectional Influences in Families
Family systems theory and bidirectionality are two models that seek to explain the nature of relationship influences on children's and adults' development. Points of convergence and divergence between the models are discussed and empirically examined in a sample of 72 nondivorced and 56 stepfather families. A multirater, multimethod design was used to model effects of family relationships on adolescent social competence, cognitive agency, and ext…

Parent–child mutuality in early childhood
Parent-child dyadic mutuality (shared positive affect, responsiveness, and cooperation) is an important component of family socialization processes. This study sought to extend previous research on mutuality by using a quantitative genetic design to examine between- and within-family variations (e.g., sibling differences) and gene-environment processes. The first study included 125 pairs of identical and same-sex fraternal 3-year-old twins. Obser…
The Outcome of Adoptions from Romania Predictors of Parental Satisfaction
In this study Christine Groothues, Celia Beckett and Thomas O'Connor examine the outcome of adoptions of 117 children from Romania and a comparison group of 52 UK adopted children, and consider associated factors in the context of previous research findings. The children were assessed at four years and their mothers interviewed; the children had been with the adoptive family for at least two years. Overall the outcome in both groups was very posi…
Risk mechanisms in development
This commentary focuses on several issues concerning research on risk mechanisms that are raised in this special issue. First, we focus on what marks this special issue as distinctive in the ways in which risk research is conducted. Second, several general issues in research are highlighted, including sample characteristics, measurement strategies, specificity of risk factors and risk mechanisms, categorical vs. dimensional approaches to samples …
Successful Outcomes
Adoption outcomes need to be assessed from both child and parental perspectives. This paper represents part of a wider study of 165 children, adopted into the UK from Romania, and a comparison group of 52 domestic adoptions. It focuses on outcome from the parents' point of view, in particular, the level of parental satisfaction, and considers possible risk factors for poor outcome. The level of satisfaction in both groups is very high and the mai…

Intra‐Individual Differences and Relationship‐Specificity of Mentalising in Early Adolescence
There is increasing interest in understanding how relationships promote children’s understanding of their own and others’ thoughts and feelings. A key question in this research is whether children’s ability and motivation to represent and nderstand anothers’ thoughts and feelings is a function of the quality of the relationship with that individual or, alternatively, a more general characteristic of the child that is similarly expressed across re…

Longitudinal Connections Between Parenting and Peer Relationships in Adoptive and Biological Families
The links between parent-reported parent-child relationship quality and teacher-reported peer relationship quality were investigated in a sample of biological and adoptive families in the Colorado Adoption Project (CAP; n = 423 children). Data were analyzed using a multilevel model approach. Results indicated that teacher-rated popularity, but not peer problems, was significantly influenced by genetic factors. Longitudinal analyses indicated that…

Attachment disturbances and disorders in children exposed to early severe deprivation
Attachment disorder has garnered considerable attention in recent years. Despite the clear clinical and theoretical importance of attachment disorder, however, there are remarkably few systematic studies of attachment disorder behaviors or their etiology, course, and associated features. Evidence of attachment disorder behaviors was examined in a sample of 111 children who experienced institutional upbringing and were later adopted into the Unite…
