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 …
Gender-Differentiated Emotion Socialization
SYNOPSIS: Objective. During early childhood, gender-specific trajectories of behavior and emotional development become more prominent. However, it remains unclear whether parents’ gender-differentiated socialization is evoked by children’s own behaviors and emotions, processes within parents, or both. This study examined whether parents’ gender labeling of emotional characters could be predicted by (1) their children’s behavior and emotional expr…
Sexual Double Standards
(Hetero)sexual double standards (SDS) entail that different sexual behaviors are appropriate for men and women. There is large variation in whether people endorse SDS in their expectations about the sexual behavior of women and men (i.e., SDS-norms). To explain these individual differences, we examined associations between SDS-norms of Dutch adolescents (aged 16–20 years, N = 566) and what parents, peers, and the media teach adolescents about app…
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…
He is a Stud, She is a Slut! A Meta-Analysis on the Continued Existence of Sexual Double Standards
(Hetero)sexual double standards (SDS) entail that different sexual behaviors are appropriate for men and women. This meta-analysis ( k = 99; N = 123,343) tested predictions of evolutionary and biosocial theories regarding the existence of SDS in social cognitions. Databases were searched for studies examining attitudes or stereotypes regarding the sexual behaviors of men versus women. Studies assessing differences in evaluations, or expectations,…
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…
Socio-ecological determinants of alcohol, tobacco, and drug use behavior of adolescents in Kilifi County at the Kenyan coast
Alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use form a risk factor for health and social problems during adolescence. From a socio-ecological model, perceptions of 85 young people and 10 stakeholders on the types of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs used and the predisposing and protective factors were explored; among adolescents at the Kenyan Coast in the Kilifi County. We found that the consumption of home-brewed alcohol, tobacco and marijuana smoking, an…

Risk and protective factors for pre‐ and postnatal bonding
Since disturbances in the mother–child bond increase the risk of negative consequences for child development, it is important to identify risk and protective factors for bonding as well as longitudinal associations. Previous research has used different bonding instruments during pregnancy and the postnatal phase, leading to inconsistent results. In the current study, the same instrument was used during the various phases. In a large, community‐ba…
A contextually relevant approach to assessing health risk behavior in a rural sub-Saharan Africa setting
The KRIBE-Q assembled in this study is a psychometrically sound instrument for adolescents in rural coastal Kenya and feasible to administer via ACASI. This measure may be useful for surveys and planning interventions in similar settings
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…
Young people's and stakeholders' perspectives of adolescent sexual risk behavior in Kilifi County, Kenya
A lack of research exists around the most common forms of sexual risk behaviors among adolescents, including their underlying factors, in Sub-Saharan Africa. Using an Ecological Model of Adolescent Behavior, we explore the perceptions of 85 young people and 10 stakeholders on sexual risk behavior of adolescents in Kilifi County on the coast of Kenya. Our findings show that transactional sex, early sexual debut, coerced sex, and multiple sexual pa…
Maternal Interaction Quality Moderates Effects of Prenatal Maternal Emotional Symptoms on Girls’ Internalizing Problems
The role of mother–infant interaction quality is studied in the relation between prenatal maternal emotional symptoms and child behavioral problems. Healthy pregnant, Dutch women ( N = 96, M = 31.6, SD = 3.3) were allocated to the “exposed group” ( n = 46), consisting of mothers with high levels of prenatal feelings of anxiety and depression, or the “low‐exposed group” ( n = 50), consisting of mothers with normal levels of depressive or anxious s…
The Performance of Children Prenatally Exposed to HIV on the A-Not-B Task in Kilifi, Kenya
The aim of the study was to investigate early executive functioning in young children from 6-35 months of age. The study involved 319 randomly selected children from the community, 17 HIV exposed but uninfected children and 31 HIV infected ARV-naive children. A variation of the A-not-B task was used. While there were no group differences in total correct, perseverative errors, nor maximum error run, a significant percentage of children were unabl…
Children without parental care in Poland
This article describes the historical background and current situation of the child welfare system for children without parental care in Poland. Nowadays in Poland, most children without parental care still have both parents, but are placed in out-of-home care as a protective measure. Multiple scenarios are possible for these children. Financial resources, however, are often not sufficient to provide the most desirable care. Despite reforms aimed…
