Cognitive flexibility moderates the association between theory of mind and children’s offer in the Ultimatum Game ( La flexibilidad cognitiva modera la relación entre la teoría de la mente y las ofert…
This study examined the cognitive predictors and constraints of children’s strategic offers in the Ultimatum Game. The Ultimatum Game is a one-shot negotiation on the division of a given sum of rewards between two people, where the receiver has the right to punish the proposer by rejecting unfair offers, which results in nil reward for either party. Ninety-four Hong Kong children ranged between three and six years of age (48 girls, M = 4.94, SD =…
On becoming socially anxious
Early attention bias to threat-related negative emotions may lead children to overestimate dangers in social situations. This study examined its emergence and how it might develop in tandem with a known predictor namely temperamental shyness for toddlers' fear of strangers in 168 Chinese toddlers. Measurable individual differences in such attention bias to fearful faces were found and remained stable from age 12 to 18 months. When shown photos of…
Little pranksters
To successfully pull a practical joke on someone, children need to understand that their victims do not know what they themselves know, be able to intentionally manipulate others’ beliefs, and maintain a straight face to safeguard the integrity of the joke. This study examined the relationship between children’s developing theory of mind (ToM), inhibitory control, and their ability to pull a practical joke. Ninety-five children between ages 2 and…
What mothers can do about their toddlers’ stranger anxiety
To examine how maternal behaviors may foretell change in toddlers’ stranger anxiety, 168 Hong Kong Chinese middle‐class mother‐toddler dyads were assessed when the toddlers were 12‐month‐olds ( M = 11.9 months, SD = .48, 83 or 49% boys); 160 dyads were assessed again 6 months later. Maternal and toddler behaviors were video‐recorded to assess: maternal encouragement and intrusiveness during stranger‐toddler interaction; toddlers’ fearfulness and …
The effect of the still‐face paradigm on infant behavior
Most still‐face paradigm ( SFP ) studies have been done in Western families with infant–mother dyads. The present study investigated the SFP pattern in 123 Dutch and 63 Chinese 4‐month‐old infants with mothers and fathers. The classic SFP effect was found for positive affect and gaze in both countries. For negative affect, Chinese infants showed a different SFP pattern than Dutch infants. With fathers, infants displayed a less pronounced SFP patt…
Cognitive Development
Child Development in the Face of Rural-to-Urban Migration in China
In the last 30 years, China has undergone one of the largest rural-to-urban migrations in human history, with many children left behind because of parental migration. We present a meta-analytic review of empirical studies on Chinese children’s rural-to-urban migration and on rural children left behind because of parental migration. We examine how these events relate to children’s emotional, social, and academic developmental outcomes. We include …
