Parent–child interaction quality mediates the relationship between parental self‐efficacy and child vocabulary
Objective We examined relationships among parental self‐efficacy, parent–child interaction quality, and child vocabulary in families of low socioeconomic status (SES). Background SES is correlated with child vocabulary, but this relationship is mediated by parenting characteristics, as explained by the family stress and family investment models. Here, we explored parental self‐efficacy because it is associated with both SES and parenting behavior…
Examining Early Vocabulary Growth Trajectories in Late Talkers in a Low‐Income Longitudinal Sample
Studies show children in low‐income households have heightened risk of developing as late talkers (LTs). Scholars have attributed the cause of these differences to variability in child‐directed and observed language input, parenting quality, attendance at childcare facilities, or some combination therein, as briefly reviewed. However, this study focuses on a sample entirely of families experiencing low income to explore differences within this gr…
Profiles of Family Stressors Among Low-Income Families with Young Children
Findings show applicability of the Family Stress Model to low-income families with young children, and indicate that these families are diverse in terms of the stressors they experience, characterized by three distinct profiles. In this regard, low-income families should not be viewed monolithically, but rather as experiencing variability in the stressors they face
Modeling the mechanisms through which conditions of poverty are associated with late language emergence in young children
Family Disruption and Parenting During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Using unique data from an economically and racially diverse sample of 448 caregivers with young children (ages 4-9 years) in Ohio, we assess multiple sources of family social and economic disruptions and their associations with parenting activities during the COVID-19 stay-at-home order. Caregivers reported extensive social and economic challenges during this time, while also increasing (on average) their time spent in play/learning activities. T…

Familial allomaternal care exposure is predictive of infant development
OBJECTIVE: This study assesses whether increased exposure to allomaternal care (AMC, or non-maternal care) is associated with improved infant motor and social milestone attainment. METHODS: Typically developing infants aged 13-18 months (n = 102) were assessed by their mothers using the previously validated National Center for Health Statistics' Motor and Social Development Scale (MSD). AMC exposure from birth to present was quantified using four…
Learning Through Shared Care
Multimodal pair‐bond maintenance
Only a handful of primate species exhibit the social relationship of pair‐bonding. Efficient communication is critical for behavioral coordination within pair‐bonds to maintain proximity and respond appropriately to extra‐pair individuals, and possibly coordinate infant care. The use of complex signaling across modalities may help individuals improve communicative outcomes. We review many ways that pair‐bonded species use signals to communicate a…

Why “monogamy” isn't good enough
Rare in mammals but more common in primates, there remains a considerable controversy concerning whether primate species traditionally described as monogamous actually express this highly specialized breeding pattern. Unfortunately the definition of "monogamy" varies greatly, inhibiting our understanding of this trait and two related traits with which monogamy is often conflated: pair-living and pair-bonding. Strepsirrhine primates are useful mod…
