Maternal discipline in the moment
By studying momentary parental cognitions and disciplinary responses in challenging parenting situations, we tested the prediction of Social Information Processing (SIP) models that how parents respond to challenging child behavior depends on within-person cognitive processes triggered by situational stimulus events. Mothers of 403 toddlers (M age = 36.17 months, SD = 6.83; 52.1% boys) were presented with 4 hypothetical challenging parenting situ…
The Comprehensive Early Childhood Parenting Questionnaire – Italian Version (Cecpaq-IT)
SYNOPSIS Objective. The current study examines the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the Italian version of the Comprehensive Early Childhood Parenting Questionnaire (CECPAQ-IT), a self-report questionnaire that assesses parenting Support, Stimulation, Structure, Harsh discipline, and Positive discipline. Design. Participants were 2013 Italian mothers rearing a 4– to 5-year-old child (51.8% boys, Mage = 4.33 years, SD = 0.47). Result…
Anxiety and depressive symptoms of young children during the Covid-19 pandemic
The course of young children's anxiety and depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 crisis varied. To understand this variability, this longitudinal study examined trajectories of anxiety and depressive symptoms and associated risk factors. Parents of 503 children aged 1-6 years (48% girls, 99% Dutch) completed a survey in four waves, covering a period of 1.5 years during the COVID-19 pandemic. Parents answered questionnaires regarding children's …
Dutch mothers’ and fathers’ differential attributions and parenting reactions to the misbehavior of sons and daughters
There is ample evidence that fathers and mothers react differently to misbehavior of sons and daughters. Relatively little is known about the mechanisms underlying this differential treatment. This set of quasiexperimental studies examined whether parental attributions about child misbehavior mediate the association between child gender and negative parenting practices, and whether this is different for fathers and mothers. Dutch parents (Study 1…
Quaranteens
This preregistered longitudinal study examined changes in adolescents' depressive and anxiety symptoms before and during the COVID-19 pandemic using latent additive piece-wise growth models. It also assessed whether support from and conflict with mothers, fathers, siblings, and best friends explained heterogeneity in change patterns. One hundred and ninety-two Dutch adolescents (Mean age: 14.3 years; 68.8% female) completed online biweekly questi…
To excel and to be happy
The current research examined the similarities and differences in parenting behaviors between 1090 Dutch and 2339 urban Chinese mothers with 1- to 4-year olds and investigated to what extent group differences in parenting stress, proportions of only children, and maternal working hours explain cultural variations in parenting behaviors. Thirteen parenting behaviors were assessed using the Comprehensive Early Childhood Parenting Questionnaire. Par…
The Importance of Mothers’ and Fathers’ Positive Parenting for Toddlers’ and Preschoolers’ Social-Emotional Adjustment
SYNOPSISObjective. Parental support, stimulation, positive discipline, and structure are all important for social-emotional adjustment of toddlers and preschoolers. However, less is known about the relative importance of these positive parenting practices. The current cross-sectional study examines the associations between positive parenting practices and child social-emotional difficulties in relation to child age and parental gender. Design. 44…
Toddlers’ Language Development
Language development in toddlerhood forms the foundation for speech and language comprehension throughout childhood. Children born moderately preterm are at increased risk for problems in receptive and expressive language functioning, and they may need specific support or interventions. To understand the underlying mechanisms of language development, an integrated model of gestational age, attention capacities, and maternal sensitivity was examin…
Parenting Behavior at 18 Months Predicts Internalizing and Externalizing Problems at 6 Years in Moderately Preterm and Full Term Children
Moderately preterm born children (MPT) are at increased risk for behavior problems compared to full term born (FT) children. MPT children may receive less optimal parenting, and in response, may develop behavior problems. Our aims were to examine whether parenting behavior and mother-child interaction quality mediate the association between birth status and child behavior problems. Participants were 120 MPT children and 100 FT children. At 18 mon…
Cognitive functioning in toddlerhood
Why do many preterm children show delays in development? An integrated model of biological risk, children's capacities, and maternal stimulation was investigated in relation to cognitive functioning at toddler age. Participants were 200 Dutch children (gestational age = 32-41 weeks); 51% boys, 96% Dutch nationality, 71.5% highly educated mothers. At 18 months, attention capacities were measured using eye-tracking, and maternal attention-directing…
Associations of Perceived Sibling and Parent-Child Relationship Quality With Internalizing and Externalizing Problems
The aims of the present study were (a) to examine whether Dutch and Indian early adolescents differ concerning sibling and parent-child relationship quality and externalizing and internalizing problems, and (b) to compare the associations between sibling and parent-child relationship quality and externalizing and internalizing problems for Indian and Dutch early adolescents. Our sample consisted of 274 Dutch (mean age = 10.9 years) and 236 Indian…
Longitudinal effects of sibling relationship quality on adolescent problem behavior
The aim of the present study was to examine whether adolescents of Moroccan and Dutch origin differ concerning sibling relationship quality and to examine whether the associations between quality of the sibling relationship and level and change in externalizing and internalizing problem behavior are comparable for Moroccan and Dutch adolescents. Five annual waves of questionnaire data on sibling support and conflict as well as externalizing probl…
Mothering, Fathering, and Externalizing Behavior in Toddler Boys
This study examined the effects of reported maternal and paternal support, psychological control, and spanking on externalizing behavior of toddler boys. Questionnaires were administered to both parents of 104 two-parent families with a 3-year-old son. Both maternal and paternal psychological control was related to boys' externalizing behavior. Interaction effects were found, in that the association between maternal spanking and boys' externalizi…
The relations among child negative interactive behavior, child temperament, and maternal behavior
A Short-Term Longitudinal Study of the Development of Self-Reported Parenting During Toddlerhood
Objective: This study examined four types of stability (factorial equivalence over time, mean-level stability, rank-order stability, and individual-level stability) in five facets of parenting (support, structure, positive discipline, psychological control, and physical punishment) during toddlerhood for both mothers and fathers. Design: Mothers and fathers from 108 intact Dutch families with a son reported about their parenting behavior in three…
Parenting During Toddlerhood
The present study examines the contribution of parental, contextual, and child characteristics to parenting behavior during toddlerhood in 111 two-parent families with a 17-month-old son ( M = 16.9 months, SD = 0.57). Parenting was conceptualized in terms of five dimensions: support, structure, positive discipline, psychological control, and physical punishment. In general, results indicate that the effects of parental, contextual, and child char…
