The dimensions of teacher discipline inventory (DTDI): Development and initial validation
This paper introduces the development and validation of the Dimensions of Teacher Discipline Inventory (DTDI), addressing the gap in research on the spectrum of teacher disciplinary practices beyond corporal punishment and psychological aggression. Two samples of students were collected from urban areas in eastern Chinese cities. Sample 1 consisted of 978 students aged 8 to 15, while Sample 2 involved 799 students aged 9 to 16. The structure of t…
Dynamic reciprocal associations between parental harsh discipline and child emotion regulation: An analysis based on random intercept cross-lagged panel model
摘要: “棍棒底下出孝子”等传统观念深刻影响着中国家庭教养。作为发生率较高的教养行为, 父母严厉管教与儿童情绪管理密切相关。然而, 二者间的关系模式仍不明确, 尤其缺乏基于父母角色分化视角, 在个体间与个体内双层面上的系统探讨。鉴于此, 本研究对560名学龄儿童及其父母双亲进行了4次追踪测查, 通过构建随机截距交叉滞后模型, 从个体间和个体内两个层面探究了父母严厉管教与儿童9种情绪管理方式的动态双向关系。结果发现, 二者间关系呈现情绪管理方式特异性和父母角色差异。在个体间水平上, 父母双方的严厉管教均与儿童愤怒失调、悲伤失调和焦虑失调显著正相关, 与悲伤应对显著负相关;; 此外, 母亲严厉管教与愤怒应对、焦虑抑制和焦虑应对显著负相关。在个体内水平上, 母亲严厉管教仅与儿童愤怒管理存在显著关联, 具体表现为愤怒失调的母亲驱动效应、愤怒抑制的儿童驱动效应以及愤怒应对的双向关系; 而父亲严厉管教与儿童9种情绪管理方式之间的关系均不显著。研究结果为亲子关系双向理论提供了新的证据, 为制定差异化家…

Teacher–student relationships and peer victimization among Chinese children: The roles of peer status and gender
Previous studies have shown that peer victimization causes a great variety of severe adverse effects on children's development, and it is necessary to explore the influential factors and mechanisms of peer victimization. This study examined the associations between teacher–student relationships and peer victimization, as well as the roles of peer status and gender in China. The participants were 734 primary school students from Grades 5 ~ 6. Stru…
Toddlers’ anxiety predicts their creativity at the age of five: The chain mediation effects of general cognition and mastery motivation
Anxiety is an aversive emotional and motivational state occurring in threatening circumstances, mainly including general anxiety and separation anxiety in early childhood. General anxiety is a kind of trait anxiety relating to general susceptibility to anxiety, while separation anxiety belongs to the state anxiety determined interactively by trait and situational stress. Previous studies have demonstrated the negative effects of anxiety on creati…
Parental Marital Quality and Children’s Depression in China: The Different Mediating Roles of Parental Psychological Aggression and Corporal Punishment
Reexamining the cultural specificity of controlling and autonomy-supportive parenting in the United States and China with a within-individual analytic approach
This research examines whether prior research may not have detected cultural-specificity in the role of controlling and autonomy-supportive parenting in children's adjustment because of reliance on between-individual analyses. In two longitudinal studies ( N s = 825 and 934) of early adolescents, within-individual analyses were conducted to examine the reciprocal pathways between children's reports of parenting and their reports of their adjustme…
Reciprocal relation between executive function and receptive vocabulary in Chinese preschoolers: Evidence from a two-year longitudinal study
By using a three-time longitudinal design, the present study focuses on three components of executive function (EF), respectively, to examine whether the relation between EF and receptive vocabulary was reciprocal and whether the direction of the above relation would differ by EF components and child gender. A total of 320 Chinese preschool children were assessed when they enrolled in preschool the first year (T1), the second year (T2) and the th…

Parents’ peer restriction in the United States and China: A longitudinal study of early adolescents
This research examined parents' restriction of children's peer relationships in the United States and China. American and Chinese children ( N = 934; M age = 12.67 years) reported on their parents' peer restriction (e.g., limiting children's time with peers) and their behavioral and psychological adjustment 3 times over a year. Increments in parents' peer restriction predicted decrements in children's adjustment over time to a similar extent in t…

Infant withdrawal and behavior problems in urban Chinese toddlers: Roles of maternal sensitivity to infant distress and emerging delay ability
Using a longitudinal design, this study examined the associations between infant temperamental withdrawal and behavior problems during toddlerhood and tested the moderating effects of maternal sensitivity to infant distress (MSID) and toddlers’ ability to delay gratification (ADG) in urban Chinese families. Participants were 84 Chinese children (37 boys, 47 girls) and their mothers. When the infants were 6 months old (T1: infancy), their mothers …
Implications of Chinese and American mothers’ goals for children’s emotional distress
This research examined a cultural socialization model in which differences in Chinese and American parents' goals for children foster differences in children's emotional distress via parents' responses to children's performance. Chinese and American mothers and their children (N = 397; M age = 13.19 years) participated in a 2-wave study spanning a year. Mothers reported on their self-improvement (i.e., children striving to improve) and self-worth…
Parental harsh discipline and child emotion regulation: The moderating role of parental warmth in China
Characteristics of likability, perceived popularity, and admiration in the early adolescent peer system in the United States and China
High social status youth are often influential in the peer system. Thus, they may serve as agents of cultural socialization if they exhibit characteristics that reflect cultural values (e.g., interdependence). This research examined the behavior that contributes to high social status in the United States and China. At each of 3 waves, 934 early adolescents (M age = 12.7 years at Wave 1) made behavioral (i.e., prosocial behavior and academic engag…
The Malleability of Stereotype Effects on Spontaneous Trait Inferences: The Moderating Role of Perceivers’ Power
Past research has demonstrated that perceivers are more likely to draw spontaneous trait inferences (STIs) from stereotype-consistent behaviors than from stereotype-inconsistent behaviors. Four studies were conducted to examine the moderating role of power in stereotype effects on STIs. Priming power using the scrambled sentence task, Study 1 found that high-power participants drew STIs from elderly stereotype-consistent but not from elderly ster…

The Development of Trait Inference at Behavioral and Psychological Levels: The Development of Trait Inference at Behavioral and Psychological Levels
摘要: 选取4岁组、5岁组、7岁组、10岁组、12岁组儿童和成人共192名(各年龄组32名, 男女各半)为被试, 采用个别测查法考察学前和小学儿童行为与心理水平的特质推理发展。结果表明: (1)4岁时儿童已能进行行为水平的特质推理, 5岁时才能进行心理水平的特质推理, 即使用特质引发规则进行特质推理, 10岁时两者均达到成人水平。(2)4岁、5岁时儿童心理水平的特质推理显著落后于行为水平的特质推理, 至少7岁时两者处于同一水平上。(3)儿童使用概念相似规则而不是情境匹配规则进行行为预测。(4)4岁儿童不使用简单效价规则进行行为预测, 5岁及以上儿童使用简单效价规则, 但他们是在区分同一特质范畴和不同特质范畴的基础上、在较低的确定程度上使用该规则
The Development of Spontaneous Trait Inferences: Evidence from Chinese Children
Spontaneous trait inferences are trait inferences that are made without intention or conscious awareness on exposure to trait-implying behaviors. Most studies in the area of spontaneous trait inferences have been undertaken with adults, but little attention has been paid to the developmental course. Using a recognition probe paradigm, the current study was performed to examine the development of Chinese children's spontaneous trait inferences, co…

The role of affect in the positive self: Two longitudinal investigations of young adolescents in the United States and China
This research investigated the role of American and Chinese children's affect in the valence of their views of themselves. In 2 studies (Ns = 825 and 397), children in the United States and China reported on their affect (e.g., positive and negative emotions) and described themselves multiple times over the 7th and 8th grades. The more positive and less negative children's affect, the more positive their descriptions of themselves over time in bo…
