  • Bilingual profiles differentially predict executive functions during early childhood

    Open AccessHwajin Yang, Germaine Y Q Tng et al.ARTICLEBilingualism Language and Cognition2024

    Recent studies suggest that heterogeneous bilingual experiences implicate different executive functions (EF) in children. Using a latent profile analysis, we conducted a more nuanced investigation of multifaceted bilingual experiences. By concurrently considering numerous bilingual indicators – age of L1 and L2 acquisition, interactional contexts of verbal exchanges, L1 and L2 proficiency, balance of language use at home and school, and receptive…

  • Bilingual interactional contexts predict executive functions in older adults

    Open AccessHwajin Yang, Germaine Y Q Tng et al.ARTICLEBilingualism Language and Cognition2023

    Drawing on the adaptive control hypothesis, we examined whether older adults’ bilingual interactional contexts of conversational exchanges would predict important indices of executive functions (EF). We assessed participants’ engagement in each bilingual interactional context – single-language, dual-language, and dense code-switching – and their performance on a series of nonverbal EF measures. Sixty-nine healthy older adults (M age = 70.39 years…

  • Inconsistent Media Mediation and Problematic Smartphone Use in Preschoolers

    Open AccessHwajin Yang, Wee Qin Ng et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    Previous studies suggest that inconsistent parenting leads to undesired consequences, such as a child's defiant reactance or parent-child conflicts. In light of this, we examined whether mothers' inconsistent smartphone mediation strategies would influence their children's problematic smartphone use during early childhood. Furthermore, given that harsh parenting often escalates a child's behavioral problems, we focused on parent-child conflict re…

  • Executive functions predict the trajectories of rumination in middle-aged and older adults

    Gilaine Rui Ng, Wee Qin Ng et al.ARTICLEEmotion2022

    Previous studies suggest that executive functions (EF)-a set of domain-general cognitive control processes that contribute to the regulation of emotion-are generally associated with ruminative tendencies. However, there is a dearth of research that examines how EF influences changes in rumination over time, especially in middle-aged and older adults who typically experience a decline in EF. To fill this gap in the literature, we analyzed a large-…

  • Tears evoke the intention to offer social support

    Open AccessJanis H Zickfeld, Niels Van De Ven et al.ARTICLEJournal of Experimental Social…2021Cited by: 3References: 70

    Tearful crying is a ubiquitous and likely uniquely human phenomenon. Scholars have argued that emotional tears serve an attachment function: Tears are thought to act as a social glue by evoking social support intentions. Initial experimental studies supported this proposition across several methodologies, but these were conducted almost exclusively on participants from North America and Europe, resulting in limited generalizability. This project …
