Toddlers’ emotion socialization in context
In infancy and toddlerhood, caregivers are responsible for externally co-regulating their children's emotions and physiology through their responses to emotional arousal. These caregiving behaviors influence toddlers' emotion regulation, which impacts long-term physical, academic, cognitive, and socioemotional development. Though caregiving responses are culturally embedded, limited research has explored how cultural norms influence Mexican Ameri…
Mental health in Californian Jews before and after October 7, 2023
Jewish participants exhibited significant increases in depression and anxiety following the October 7, 2023, attack. Changes in mental health were uniquely predicted by both the timing of the assessment (pre/post October 7) and concerns about antisemitism. Findings suggest the necessity of additional mental health services to address the needs of Jewish communities. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
Child Effortful Control Moderates the Link Between Parenting Stress and Child Parasympathetic Regulation
Parenting stress—psychosocial challenges from the parental role—is strongly tied to children's self‐regulatory abilities. Although cognitive and physiological facets of self‐regulation are integrated, research on parenting stress and children's parasympathetic activity is virtually absent. Additionally, few studies have examined changes in children's parasympathetic regulation across settings with and without a parent present. This study examined…

Efficacy of a reminiscing and emotion training intervention on maltreating families with preschool-aged children
The current investigation reports the results of a randomized controlled trial of a brief, relational intervention for maltreated preschool-aged children and their mothers, called Reminiscing and Emotion Training (RET). RET facilitates elaborative and emotionally supportive parent-child communication, which is an essential component of the parent-child relationship and is especially relevant for the preschool age period. Participants were 248 chi…
Psychobiological influences on maternal sensitivity in the context of adversity
This study evaluated prospective longitudinal relations among an index of poverty-related cumulative risk, maternal salivary cortisol, child negative affect, and maternal sensitivity across the first 2 postpartum years. Participants included 1,180 biological mothers residing in rural and predominantly low-income communities in the United States. Multilevel growth curve analyses indicated that an index of cumulative risk was positively associated …
Maternal and child contributions to cortisol response to emotional arousal in young children from low-income, rural communities
Relations of maternal and child characteristics to child cortisol reactivity to and recovery from emotional arousal were examined prospectively at approximately 7 months of age (infancy) and then again at approximately 15 months of age (toddlerhood). The sample was diverse and population based (N = 1,292 mother-infant dyads) and included families from predominantly low-income, rural communities. Maternal behavior, family income-to-need ratio and …
