  • Antecedents to and outcomes associated with teacher–child relationship perceptions in early childhood

    Open AccessElif Dede Yildirim, Cynthia A Frosch et al.ARTICLEChild Development2024

    Preschool teachers' perceptions about relationships with students (teacher–child relationships [TCRs]) predict children's subsequent social competence (SC) and academic progress. Why this is so remains unclear. Do TCRs shape children's development, or do child attributes influence both TCRs and subsequent development? Relations between TCRs and other measures were examined for 185 preschoolers (107 girls, 89 longitudinal, and ~75% European Americ…

  • Associations between secure base script knowledge in early childhood and perceived quality of attachment in middle childhood

    Open AccessCarla Fernandes, Marí­lia Fernandes et al.ARTICLEAnálise Psicológica2023

    Previous studies suggest that mental representations of attachment can show moderate stability across childhood but none of these considered the child’s use of the Secure Base Script (SBS). This study tested the longitudinal stability of attachment representations from early to middle childhood, providing data that will allow us to determine whether the SBS score behaves like other attachment measures for early childhood in this regard. A sample …

  • The significance of early temperamental reactivity for children’s social competence with peers

    Open AccessSarah K Borowski, Ashley M Groh et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2021

    Early temperamental reactivity and attachment security are key predictors of children's social competence with peers. Leveraging meta-analytic evaluation of the significance of early attachment for social competence already available (Groh et al., 2014), this quantitative review examined the significance of early temperamental reactivity for social competence with peers and compared the strength of this association with that for attachment. Based…

  • Early child care experiences and attachment representations at age 18 years

    Open AccessTheodore E A Waters, Sophia W Magro et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2021Cited by: 1References: 8

    The role of early child care experiences on the development of the mother-child attachment relationship has been studied extensively. However, no prospective studies of early child care have addressed how these experiences might be reflected in the content of attachment representations during adolescence and beyond. The goal of this study was to estimate relatively precise associations between child care quality, child care quantity, and type of …

  • Relations between preschooler social competence and coping tactics during resource‐based conflicts

    Open AccessOlivia I Nichols, Brian E Vaughn et al.ARTICLESocial Development2020References: 9

    Although peer conflict is a common experience in preschool classrooms, few studies have examined relations between coping with peer conflict and social competence (SC) in preschool samples. In this study, 166 preschoolers (95 male) were observed during dyadic play episodes designed to induce a resource‐based conflict. Coping tactics were coded using Zimmer‐Gembeck and Skinner’s framework, and their relations with indicators of SC, assessed using …

  • Associações entre o uso do script de base segura e o conhecimento das emoções em crianças de idade pré-escolar

    Open AccessCarla Fernandes, Manuela Veríssimo et al.ARTICLEAnálise Psicológica2019

    As associações entre a segurança da vinculação e múltiplos aspetos do desenvolvimento emocional têm sido estudadas durante várias décadas. Embora estes estudos sejam válidos, algumas respostas relacionadas com as representações de vinculação e o conhecimento emocional continuam em aberto. Participaram neste estudo crianças de idade pré-escolar (N=40). Utilizámos o Attachment Story Completion Task como medida de vinculação das crianças, com as rep…

  • Changes in preschool children’s social engagement positively predict changes in social competence

    Open AccessAntónio J Santos, João R Daniel et al.ARTICLESocial Development2019References: 8

    To test the hypothesis that social engagement is a foundational aspect of other peer social competence indicators during early childhood, 160 Portuguese preschool children (“3‐year‐olds”) were observed at least in two different school years, using a battery of validated social competence assessments based on direct observations and child interviews. Multilevel growth models tested whether social engagement predicted initial values and linear chan…

  • Social engagement and adaptive functioning during early childhood

    Open AccessBrian E Vaughn, António J Santos et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2016Cited by: 3References: 10

    This study tested the hypothesis that social engagement (SE) with peers is a fundamental aspect of social competence during early childhood. Relations between SE and a set of previously validated social competence indicators, as well as additional variables derived from observation and sociometric interviews were assessed using both variable-centered and person-centered approaches (N = 1453, 696 girls) in 4 samples (3 U.S.A., 1 Portuguese). Direc…

  • Preschool Children's Negative Emotionality and Peer Acceptance

    Open AccessTing Lu, Kelly M Tu et al.ARTICLESocial Development2015References: 4

    Preschool children's sleep was examined as a moderator of the association between negative emotionality and both peer acceptance and peer rejection. Participants were 115 children (47 percent girls, M age = 4.29 years, SD = .63). Preschool teachers reported on children's negative emotionality (anger/frustration, sadness, and fear). Sleep was measured objectively using actigraphy in the child's home for seven consecutive nights. Peer acceptance an…

  • The latent structure of secure base script knowledge

    Open AccessTheodore E A Waters, R Chris Fraley et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2015Cited by: 6References: 6

    There is increasing evidence that attachment representations abstracted from childhood experiences with primary caregivers are organized as a cognitive script describing secure base use and support (i.e., the secure base script). To date, however, the latent structure of secure base script knowledge has gone unexamined-this despite that such basic information about the factor structure and distributional properties of these individual differences…

  • Affiliative structures and social competence in Portuguese preschool children

    Open AccessJoão R Daniel, António J Santos et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2015Cited by: 3References: 5

    The goal of this study was to determine whether peer social competence (SC), defined as the capacity to use behavioral, cognitive, and emotional resources in the service of achieving personal goals within preschool peer groups, was related to the type of affiliative subgroups to which children belonged. Two hundred forty Portuguese preschool children (152 seen in consecutive years of data collection) from middle-class families participated. Affil…

  • O reduzido envolvimento social

    Open AccessAntónio J Santos, Lí­gia Monteiro et al.ARTICLEPsicologia Reflexão e Crítica2015

    O reduzido envolvimento social, aspeto central na definição da solidão social, foi analisado numa amostra de 337 crianças portuguesas (171 rapazes), com idades compreendidas entre os três e os cinco anos. Com base em metodologias de observação, realizadas em contexto de Jardim de infância, verificou-se que níveis reduzidos de envolvimento social estão negativamente associados a baixos níveis de competência social, de resiliência e de um elevado e…

  • Caregiving antecedents of secure base script knowledge

    Ryan D Steele, Theodore E A Waters et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2014Cited by: 12References: 8

    Based on a subsample (N = 673) of the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (SECCYD) cohort, this article reports data from a follow-up assessment at age 18 years on the antecedents of secure base script knowledge, as reflected in the ability to generate narratives in which attachment-related difficulties are recognized, competent help is provided, and the problem is resolved. Secure base script knowledge was (a) modestly to moder…

  • Longitudinal stability of social competence indicators in a Portuguese sample

    António J Santos, Brian E Vaughn et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2014Cited by: 7References: 10

    This study examines the temporal stability (over 3 years) of individual differences in 3 domains relevant to preschool children's social competence: social engagement/motivation, profiles of behavior and personality attributes characteristic of socially competent young children, and peer acceptance. Each domain was measured with multiple indicators. Sociometric status categories (Asher & Dodge, 1986) and reciprocated friendships were derived from…

  • Dyadic Analyses of Preschool‐aged Children's Friendships

    Open AccessNana Shin, Mina Kim et al.ARTICLESocial Development2013Cited by: 1References: 9

    Peer sociometrics and teachers' friendship reports were compared in 2179 preschool dyads. One hundred twenty of 306 reciprocated friend dyads from peer sociometric data were also identified as good friends by their classroom teachers, and 301 of 600 of non‐reciprocated dyads in peer data were named as friends by one or both classroom teachers (overall kappa = .16). Friendship classifications from both peer and teacher data had significant relatio…

  • Reminiscing Style During Conversations About Emotion‐laden Events and Effects of Attachment Security Among Italian Mother–Child Dyads

    Open AccessGabrielle Coppola, Silvia Ponzetti et al.ARTICLESocial Development2013Cited by: 1References: 6

    Previous research has established that mothers' and children's elaborative/evaluative styles during conversations about emotion‐laden events are associated with a range of social‐cognitive accomplishments, and this has prompted researchers to identify factors that predict stylistic differences in conversation styles. The study explored whether patterns and variations in reminiscing styles reported in other cultures would be observed in an Italian…

    Os modelos etológicos em desenvolvimento social sublinham que os grupos naturais proporcionam uma variedade de contextos sociais que influenciam de forma diferencial o crescimento e desenvolvimento individual. Contudo, os estudos comportamentais de primatas humanos e não-humanos têm sobretudo incidido nas relações de agressividade e estruturas de dominância. A investigação da organização do comportamento afiliativo tem sido impedida devido à falt…
