Reframing Mental Health Through a Developmental–Ecological Lens
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) increase risk for maternal depression and anxiety, with cascading effects on the entire family. This study investigated associations between ACEs and maternal mental health in a racially diverse US sample, considering individual (self‐efficacy, loneliness) and contextual (parenting stress, partner support, family strength, discrimination, neighborhood safety) factors. Mothers of toddlers ( N = 334; 23% Black/A…

Disengagement is as revealing as prosocial action for young children’s responding to strangers in distress
In a paradigm of simulated stranger distress designed to elicit empathic arousal, this study examined multiple elements of responding in 61 preschoolers. Disengagement from stranger distress was underscored in addition to prosocial responding. All children encountered a female adult stranger feigning stomach ache followed by an infant manikin emitting cry sound in a bassinet. Behaviors were coded for other-oriented behaviors, personal distress, a…
The Associations between Parental Conflict, Attachment Anxiety, and Somatic Symptoms in Adult Children Affected by Parental Separation
Using a sample of 210 college students affected by parental separation, this study investigated how perceived parental conflict and attachment anxiety jointly predicted somatic symptoms in adult children affected by parental separation. The participants responded to a computer-based survey assessing perceived parental conflict, attachment anxiety, and somatic symptoms. The results indicated that parental conflict was associated with attachment an…
Job Satisfaction in Direct Support Professionals
Direct support professionals (DSPs) play a vital role in supporting and sustaining the life qualities of individuals with developmental disabilities (DDs). The occupation is often challenging due to a multitude of workplace deficiencies and certain challenging behaviors associated with DDs. The demanding nature of job duties can cause compromised job satisfaction in DSPs, which in turn potentially undermines the quality of care they provide to in…
Parental Rejection, Resilience, and Health-risk Behavior in Emerging Adults
Objectives: In this study, we investigated the sex differences in the impact of perceived parental rejection on various health-risk behaviors and the moderation of resilience on the relations between perceived parental rejection and health-risk behaviors. Methods: Cross-sectional data of 730 college-attending emerging adults were analyzed with Poisson and negative binomial models. Results: Maternal rejection predicted drug use and aggressive beha…
And Baby Makes Three
SYNOPSISHechler et al.’s (2019) utilization of a simulation paradigm to predict postnatal caregiving quality is worth celebrating. Instead of using subjective self-report measures, the authors objectively observed behaviors that potentially mapped onto real-life processes. As well, they considered for regulatory processes and included fathers into the picture of early caregiving. To enhance the prediction of caregiving simulation paradigms, we ad…
Cross-Cultural Study of Community Engagement in Second-Generation Immigrants
This research examined the role of cultural similarity in community engagement of second-generation immigrants (SGIs). While previous findings examined the rate of community engagement in SGIs, it is still unclear what may be associated with a higher community engagement in SGIs. Based on previous research on cultural similarities, we proposed that SGIs who are more culturally dissimilar to the host culture would have a higher host orientation an…
Perceptions of Stress and Enrichment in Caregivers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Compared to negative experiences associated with parenting a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), research has paid much less attention to positive aspects of experiences. This study examined both experiences of stress and enrichment in parenting a child with ASD to provide insights for practical community support services. Eighty-seven caregivers responded to the Effects of the Situation Questionnaire, a modified version of the Childhood A…
Newborns' Cries are Unique to Individuals (But Not to Language Environment)
Human neonates exhibit individually distinctive patterns of variation—sometimes called cry “signatures”—in the acoustics of their cries. For tests of group differences (e.g., age, health status, or ambient language differences), the uniqueness of cry sounds to individuals means that multiple cries from same infant cannot appropriately be treated as independent events for analysis. This approach violates the assumption of independence that underli…
Effects of Posture on Newborn Crying
Acoustic properties of the cries of 14 infants were evaluated at both 2 and 4 weeks of age when the infants were lying in a supine position and when they were sitting upright in a car seat. In the upright position, infants' breathing was more rapid and showed less individual variability. The fundamental frequency of their cries increased in the upright position, but this increase was likely attributable to increased arousal or distress, not to po…
