Cultural Contributions to Childhood Executive Function
Although the early environment influences executive function ( EF ), the role of culture is rarely incorporated into models of EF development. We conducted an integrative review of research examining childhood EF across diverse cultural groups and cultural processes, focusing on studies that assessed “cool” EF domains (working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility) using established cognitive tasks. Eighteen studies met inclusion …

Racial/ethnic wealth gaps and material hardship disparities among U.S. households with young children
Black/Latino(a) & White Racial/Ethnic wealth gaps persist in the COVID-19 pandemic. • Substantial racial/ethnic disparities exist in family material hardship experiences. • Higher income did not equitably protect Black & Latino(a) families from hardship. • Addressing racial/ethnic wealth gaps is key to equitable early childhood development. The long-existing racial/ethnic wealth gaps in the U.S. persist during the COVID-19 pandemic due to income …
Comparing the multivariate relationships of conceptual adversity models and structural brain development in adolescent girls
Adverse experiences throughout development confer risk for a multitude of negative long-term outcomes, but the processes via which these experiences are neurobiologically embedded are still unclear. Adolescence provides an opportunity to understand how these experiences impact the brain's rapidly changing structure. Two models are central to current adversity conceptualizations: a cumulative risk model, where all types of experiences are combined…

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on child and adolescent development around the world
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Sixteen months later, by mid-July 2021, the virus had profoundly affected the families and networks of 188 million people who contracted COVID-19 and the 4.05 million who succumbed to it (WHO, 2021). COVID-19 has severely affected the way we study, work, and our physical movements. In terms of health and economics, it has already widened and expected to further expand,…
Psychosocial factors associated with preventive pediatric care during the Covid-19 pandemic
Expectations of Social Consequences Impact Anticipated Involvement in Health‐Risk Behavior During Adolescence
This study examined how individual differences in expectations of social consequences relate to individuals' expected involvement in health-risk behaviors (HRBs). A total of 122 adolescents (aged 11-17) reported their expected involvement in a number of risk behaviors and whether or not they expect to be liked more or less by engaging in the behavior: the expected social benefit. Higher perceived social benefit was associated with higher anticipa…
Measurement of parental executive function in early childhood settings
A growing number of early childhood (EC) parenting programs target adult executive function (EF) to build responsive parenting behaviors and to promote positive child development. Although measurement of EF is well understood in academic research, little work has examined EF measurement in community settings. The present study examined psychometric properties of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function—Adult Version among 203 parents w…

Early school engagement and late elementary outcomes for maltreated children in foster care
Children with a history of maltreatment and placement into foster care face elevated risks of poor psychosocial outcomes including school failure, substance use, externalizing, and deviant peer association. For children in the general population, school engagement appears to be a promotive factor in preventing negative outcomes. In this study, differences in 3 dimensions of school engagement (behavioral, affective, and cognitive) in early element…

The Future's Past
T HE LIFE OF THINGS is in reality many lives. A warrior's sword, known to him by its feel and balance, by its sound as it cuts the air, known or seen by his community when the sight of the sword strapped on for battle is the sign-we go to war tomorrow. The sight of it is one of the signs of war, terror, possible defeat, and yet being his sword, a sign of the barrier still between themselves and defeat. His as property, but kept sharp and ready by…

Improving the lives of foster children through evidenced-based interventions
In the United States and England, the use of evidence-based interventions for children in foster care has the potential to decrease the widespread disparities in health and mental health outcomes, improve placement stability and increase the likelihood of children achieving permanency. Nevertheless, there have been few discussions about the systematic implementation of evidence-based practice to address different levels of need and risk in foster…
Age Differences in the Correlates of Perceived Dominance
Previous evidence indicates that the correlates of dominance vary over studies. We hypothesized that one source of this variability is that dominance shifts with age from being associated with aggression to being more associated with prosocial behavior and sociometric status. To test this, we examined 10 vs. 13 year‐old boys' perceptions of dominance, using a measure that assessed the perceived outcomes of dyadic agonism. In a sample consisting p…

Father–child transmission of school adjustment
The intergenerational transmission of school adjustment was explored in a sample of 213 children and their fathers. The fathers were participants in a longitudinal study that began when they were in the 4th grade, and their children have been assessed at the ages of 21 months and 3, 5, and 7 years. Two components of school adjustment were measured: academic achievement and peer relations. Results show that the fathers' academic achievement and pe…

Looking Around to See Who I Am
What we apologize for as a failure to imagine and craft whole characters, rounded as we say, complex, changing, surprising characters on the scale of Tolstoy or George Eliot is, in Zola, Dreiser, Joyce or Dos Passos, neither a limit of psychological talent nor a theoretical limit of representation within the methods of Naturalism, but in fact a striking restatement of the of the self under new conditions. In this essay I wish to create a language…

In the eye of the beholder
This study examines how relations between risk and protective factors and psychopathology vary by ethnic group, gender, and informant. Data were collected from Caucasian and American Indian adolescents, and their teachers. Results indicate a need for interventions that reduce risk, increase protective factors, and bring about greater convergence in the perceptions of teachers and youth

The Early Intervention Foster Care Program
Preschool-aged foster children face multiple risks for poor long-term outcomes. These risks appear to increase with the number of placement changes experienced. The Early Intervention Foster Care Program (EIFC) targets the spectrum of challenges that preschool-aged foster children face via a team approach delivered in home and community settings. In this article, we report on permanent placement outcomes from the EIFC randomized clinical trial. C…
Developmental, Cognitive, and Neuropsychological Functioning in Preschool-aged Foster Children
Although young children in foster care are at high risk for developmental delays and subsequent academic, social, and behavioral difficulties, many do not receive services for delays. We sought to explicate the types of developmental delays observed in young children (ages 3-6 years) in foster care and how placement and maltreatment experiences for these children were associated with such delays. Physical growth, neuropsychological functioning, e…

Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care as a Preventive Intervention to Promote Resiliency Among Youth in the Child Welfare System
Demographic trends indicate that a growing segment of families is exposed to adversity such as poverty, drug use problems, caregiver transitions, and domestic violence. Although these risk processes and the accompanying poor outcomes for children have been well studied, little is known about why some children develop resilience in the face of such adversity, particularly when it is severe enough to invoke child welfare involvement. This paper des…

Young children in foster care and the development of favorable outcomes
Practitioner Review
Background: An increasing number of children are placed in foster care (i.e., a kin or nonkin family home other than the biological parent) due to experiences of physical, sexual, emotional, or psychological abuse, and/or neglect. Children in foster care are at increased risk for a host of negative outcomes encompassing emotional, behavioral, neurobiological, and social realms. Methods: Areas of risk and vulnerability among foster children are de…
Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care
This paper describes the Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care program (MTFC), an evidence based approach for providing psychotherapeutic treatment for very troubled children and adolescents that is an alternative to residential care. Versions of the MTFC program have been developed and validated for young children with a history of maltreatment as well as for older children and adolescents who are involved with the youth justice system. In the …
