Trajectories of loneliness during childhood and adolescence
The present study employed latent growth mixture modeling to discern distinct trajectories of loneliness using data collected at 2‐year intervals from age 7–17 years ( N = 586) and examine whether measures taken at age 5 years were good predictors of group membership. Four loneliness trajectory classes were identified: (1) low stable (37% of the sample), (2) moderate decliners (23%), (3) moderate increasers (18%), and (4) relatively high stable (…
Childhood loneliness as a predictor of adolescent depressive symptoms
The friendships and play partners of lonely children
The research examines the play partners and friendship patterns of a sample of children (N= 409) from four separate clusters (lonely, rejected, lonely and rejected, and nonlonely/nonrejected controls). Controls were more likely than rejected, lonely and lonely/rejected children to have a best friend. Control and rejected children differ from lonely and lonely/rejected children by reporting significantly more support from a close friend. Observati…
The role of organized preschool learning environments in literacy and numeracy development
The aim of this research is to describe developments in children's understanding of literacy and numeracy in the context of organized preschool centres. Eight preschool centres of varying organization and a number of children from each centre were selected for longitudinal study. The preschool context of learning was examined by using conversation analysis to determine initial levels of reflectiveness in each centre. Observations of children in e…
Children's understanding of number words
This research notes gives details of an atypical response to a ‘give a number’ task by a 34‐month‐old child. The child clearly demonstrated that he understood the word ‘two’ to refer to an object rather than to a quantity. This incident offers support to Fuson's (1988) theory of the functionally specific initial acquisition of number word meanings and suggests that Gelman & Meck's (1983) ‘principles first’ account of the development of counting g…
