  • Validation of the family investment model in Norwegian families

    Open AccessAne Nærde, Silje Hukkelberg et al.ARTICLEEarly Childhood Research Quarterly2026References: 59

    The family investment model (FIM) has not been tested within a Nordic welfare state. • Multi-respondent and multi-method Norwegian data at child age 6 months to Grade 1. • Several significant indirect effects in line with the FIM propositions were found. • SES and parental investments affect child development in this socioeconomic context. The family investment model (FIM) is a theoretical framework linking family SES to child developmental outco…

    Open AccessLindsay Taraban, Daniel S Shaw et al.ARTICLEChild Development2025References: 68

    Observed parental sensitivity during a parent–child teaching task and free-play task was tested as mediators of the association between family socioeconomic risk and child receptive language at 48 months, consistent with family investment theory. Parents (n = 881 mothers; 624 fathers, data collected between 2006-2008) and their 5-month-old children (52% male) were recruited from public health clinics in Norway.

  • Compensatory effects of maternal and paternal supportive parenting in early childhood on children's school-age adjustment

    Julia S Feldman, Luciano G Dolcini-Catania et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2023Cited by: 5

    Both maternal and paternal supportive parenting (i.e., sensitivity, warmth, stimulation, and engagement) across early childhood have been found to be associated with multiple domains of children's positive socioemotional functioning. However, few studies have considered how maternal and paternal supportive parenting may interact to impact child development. Thus, the present study assessed direct and moderated longitudinal relations between mater…

  • Stable, longitudinal relations between early paternal supportive parenting and preschool‐age children's self‐regulation

    Open AccessJulia S Feldman, Daniel S Shaw et al.ARTICLESocial Development2022Cited by: 4References: 7

    The present study assessed longitudinal relations between paternal supportive parenting in infancy (12 months) and toddlerhood (36 months) and children's observed self‐regulation skills at preschool age (48 months) in a large sample of Norwegian families ( N = 771; 48% girls, 52% boys, 28% experienced some socioeconomic risk). After accounting for child sex, socioeconomic risk (6 and 12 months), and observed maternal supportive parenting (24 moth…

  • Too Early for Early Education? Effects on Parenting for Mothers and Fathers

    Open AccessH D Zachrisson, Margaret Tresch Owens et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2021

Background Children entering non‐parental care settings in early childhood may have negative consequences for parenting quality. Yet, current evidence supporting this claim is predominantly from the United S…

  • Mother–Child Interaction in Families With Internationally Adopted Children and Families With Biological Children at Age 2

    Monica Dalen, Kristin Berg Nordahl et al.ARTICLEAdoption Quarterly2020Cited by: 1References: 7

    Videotaped observations of mother–child interactions in adoptive and biological dyads showed some significant differences in overall quality of interactions at age 2. The differences included both mother and child observed behavior during a free-play and teaching setting. There were no significant differences in adoptive and biological mother’s sensitivity/responsiveness toward their children, which has been documented to be important for childre…

Father and child factors were reported by fathers when the child was 6 mo…
