Neglect and Behavior Problems in Early Childhood
Neglected children are at-risk for behavior problems, although the processes by which such problems develop are poorly understood. We examined whether Emotion Knowledge (EK) mediated the relationship between neglect and young children's behavior problems. In a community sample (N = 127), neglect history was assessed at 4.0 years using Child Protective Services records (44% neglected); at 4.5 years children completed an EK assessment (expression r…
The impact of Maternal Mentalizing on Racial Trauma and Substance Use Risk for Black Mothers in the United States
Maternal substance use disorder (SUD) is a significant and growing public health problem in the US. Maternal substance use destabilizes families, places children at higher risk for poor developmental outcomes, and contributes to more than $700 billion in national healthcare costs annually. Despite these realities, mothers with substance use difficulties remain an understudied and underserved population. For Black mothers in the US, the lack of re…
Stigma and Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (Moud) Among Women
Family support and medication for opioid use treatment for women
Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) helps individuals safely withdraw from opioids. Though MOUD is effective, women stop using MOUD prematurely. The present study examined family relationships in relation to MOUD treatment acceptability among women. A convergent mixed methods research design was used in which 62 participants completed surveys and 23 participated in focus groups. Integrating qualitative data, convergence was found across two…

Does Gender Nonconforming Behavior in Early Childhood Predict Adolescents’ Depressive Symptoms
Shame among people living with HIV
Shame is consistently associated with poor adjustment (e.g., depressive symptoms) among community samples but, surprisingly, has rarely been directly examined among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH). This limited research on shame is likely due, in part, to shame's having been subsumed within measures of internalized stigma, an imprecise construct with varied definitions in the HIV literature. The current review summarizes research directly exam…
HIV-Related Stigma, Shame, and Avoidant Coping
Children's cognitive ability from 4 to 9 years old as a function of prenatal cocaine exposure, environmental risk, and maternal verbal intelligence
This study examined the effects of prenatal cocaine exposure, environmental risk, and maternal verbal intelligence on children's cognitive ability. Gender and age were examined as moderators of potential cocaine exposure effects. The Stanford-Binet IV intelligence test was administered to 231 children (91 cocaine exposed, 140 unexposed) at ages 4, 6, and 9 years. Neonatal medical risk and other prenatal exposures (alcohol, cigarettes, and marijua…
Does the Organization of Emotional Expression Change Over Time? Facial Expressivity From 4 to 12 Months
Differentiation models contend that the organization of facial expressivity increases during infancy. Accordingly, infants are believed to exhibit increasingly specific facial expressions in response to stimuli as a function of development. This study tested this hypothesis in a sample of 151 infants (83 boys and 68 girls) observed in 4 situations (tickle, sour taste, arm restraint, and masked stranger) at 4 and 12 months of age. Three of the 4 s…
On Specifying Specificity
Izard (2004/this issue) clarifies the position of differential emotions theory by proposing a distinction between hard and soft versions of event‐emotion expression relations. We concur that the best design to examine situational specificity in facial expressions is one that utilizes multiple stimulus situations assessed over multiple occasions and ages. However, the problem of how to identify, a priori, a family of stimulus situations remains. W…
Children's intellectual and emotional-behavioral adjustment at 4 years as a function of cocaine exposure, maternal characteristics, and environmental risk
The authors examined 223 children at age 4 years for the effects of prenatal cocaine exposure, exposure to other substances, maternal and environmental risk factors, and neonatal medical problems on IQ, externalizing problems, and internalizing problems. Regression analyses showed that maternal verbal IQ and low environmental risk predicted child IQ. Cocaine exposure negatively predicted children's overall IQ and verbal reasoning scores, but only…
Children?s competitive peer aggression during reward and punishment
Behavior-disordered children (N = 65) competed with a presumed unknown peer on consecutive administrations of an analogue aggression task of instrumental aggression (blocking the opponent’s game) and hostile aggression (sending the opponent a noise). The first administration as a reward-only, nonpunishment condition. The second administration contained both reward and punishment conditions. Results indicated clear differences on aggressive respon…
Prospective Models of Depressive Symptoms in Early Adolescence
Models of depressive symptoms were compared in a 6-month prospective study of 95 nonreferred 11- to 13-year-olds. Maladaptive attributional style and social support correlated with multiple measures of concurrent depressive symptoms. Life stress generally failed to correlate with concurrent depressive symptoms. Prospectively, attribution style failed to predict depressive symptoms, whereas social support predicted mother, but not self-, ratings o…
Child care history and kindergarten adjustment
Parents gave histories of 589 children just before kindergarten. Children were later assessed with teacher, peer, and observer measures of social adjustment in school. Children with higher day-care amounts in each of 3 eras (0-1, 1-4, and 4-5 years) scored higher on the composite negative adjustment and lower on positive adjustment (however, they also scored lower on teacher-rated internalizing problems). Day care predicted even after statistical…
