Scholarship, not politics: Reply to Eidelson (2025)
Eidelson's (2025) commentary misses the point of our article (Walker et al., 2025), which reviews the history of antisemitism within the psychology profession and calls for the American Psychological Association to acknowledge its past and to proactively address the recent rise in antisemitism. Our scholarship is consistent with that of others in the field (e.g., Winston, 2020). We refute some of the commentary's (Eidelson, 2025) specific misinte…

Sources of Variability in Remote Communication Between Deployed Military Fathers and Their Children
Spiritual AIM: Assessment and documentation of spiritual needs in patients with cancer
The chaplain is an essential member of the palliative care (PC) team, yet, standard methods to document chaplain assessments are lacking. The study team performed a retrospective analysis of chaplaincy documentation in an outpatient PC clinic at an academic medical center over 6 months (April 2017 to October 2017). The study team identified unique adult patients with cancer, then manually extracted variables from the electronic medical record. Th…
Quantity and quality of communication during parental deployment: Links to adolescents’ functioning
Using an online survey methodology, we examined individual differences in distance communication between 75 adolescents and their deployed parents and found substantial individual differences in both the quantity and quality of their communication. We also examined the statistical associations between these features of distance communication and adolescents’ functioning, including emotional reactions following communication, health-related qualit…
Patterns of developmental change in infants' nighttime sleep awakenings from 6 through 36 months of age
Nighttime sleep awakenings and infant and family characteristics were measured longitudinally in more than 1,200 infants when the infants were 6, 15, 24, and 36 months old. By 6 months of age, the majority of children slept through the night, awakening their mothers only about once or twice per week. However, not all children followed this predominant developmental pattern. Using growth mixture modeling, we identified 2 distinct developmental pat…
Examining the Black–White Achievement Gap Among Low-Income Children Using the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development
The Black–White achievement gap in children’s reading and mathematics school performance from 41⁄2 years of age through fifth grade was examined in a sample of 314 lower income American youth followed from birth. Differences in family, child care, and schooling experiences largely explained Black–White differences in achievement, and instructional quality was a stronger predictor for Black than White children. In addition, the achievement gap was…
Identifying Risk for Obesity in Early Childhood
OBJECTIVES. Our aim with this study was to assist clinicians by estimating the predictive value of earlier levels of BMI status on later risk of overweight and obesity during the middle childhood and early adolescent years. METHODS. We present growth data from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development, a longitudinal sample of 1042 healthy US children in 10 locations. Born in 1991…
Normal and affectively ill mothers' beliefs about their children
Normal, unipolar, and bipolar depressed women were studied to determine whether depressive cognitive schemas extend to the perception of one's own child. Depressed and well mothers reported equal satisfaction with their children, but the depressed group was less satisfied with the children's socioaffective than their cognitive development. The depressed mothers experienced a greater degree of helplessness regarding their children, and were more l…

Direction and Sequence in Copying: The Effect of Learning to Write in English and Hebrew
To explore the nature of directional experience and directional behavior in countries with different scripts, children and adults in the United States and in Israel were asked to copy a number of geometric shapes. The paths or sequences of strokes displayed some common developmental trends together with some specific differences stemming from the patterns taught for forming letters. Generalization from letter patterns, however, followed a nonline…
