  • Can behaviorally inhibited preschoolers make friends

    Open AccessHailey Fleece, Nicholas J Wagner et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2024

    Preschoolers who display extremely inhibited behavior are at risk for the development of anxiety disorders. However, behavioral inhibition (BI) is a multifaceted characteristic. Some children with BI are fearful when confronted by unfamiliar adults, peers, and objects; others are fearful when separated from their parents. In the present study, we examined specific features of BI that predicted observed friendship formation among preschoolers who …

  • Testing reciprocal associations between child anxiety and parenting across early interventions for inhibited preschoolers

    Open AccessDanielle R Novick, Christian T Meyer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2023

    BACKGROUND: Given the robust evidence base for the efficacy of evidence-based treatments targeting youth anxiety, researchers have advanced beyond efficacy outcome analysis to identify mechanisms of change and treatment directionality. Grounded in developmental transactional models, interventions for young children at risk for anxiety by virtue of behaviorally inhibited temperament often target parenting and child factors implicated in the early …

  • Early intervention for inhibited young children

    Open AccessAndrea Chronis‐tuscano, Danielle R Novick et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2022

    BACKGROUND: Children classified as behaviorally inhibited (BI) are at risk for social anxiety. Risk for anxiety is moderated by both parental behavior and social-emotional competence. Grounded in developmental-transactional theory, the Turtle Program involves both parent and child treatment components delivered within the peer context. Our pilot work demonstrated beneficial effects of the Turtle Program ('Turtle') over a waitlist control group. H…

  • Peer Influence during Adolescence

    Open AccessMazneen Havewala, Julie C Bowker et al.ARTICLEChildren2021

    Although many studies show that peers influence the development of adolescent internalizing and externalizing difficulties, few have considered both internalizing and externalizing difficulties in the same study, and fewer have considered the contributions of parents. Using a longitudinal sample of 385 adolescents, the contributions of best friends' internalizing and externalizing difficulties (as assessed in Grade 6; G6: M age = 13.64 years; 53%…

  • Shyness, Preference for Solitude, and Adolescent Internalizing

    Open AccessMatthew G Barstead, Kelly A Smith et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2017Cited by: 6References: 11

    The researchers examined differential outcomes related to two distinct motivations for withdrawal (preference for solitude and shyness) as well as the possibility that support from important others (mothers, fathers, and best friends) attenuate any such links. Adolescents (159 males, 171 females) reported on their motivations to withdraw, internalizing symptoms, and relationship quality in eighth grade, as well as their anxiety and depression in …
