  • A longitudinal study of the differential social‐cognitive foundations of early prosocial behaviors

    Open AccessWilliam Stout, Erin Karahuta et al.ARTICLEInfancy2021

    A growing body of work has documented the emergence of instrumental helping and sharing in the second year of life; however, less is known about mechanisms that underlie development and production of prosocial behavior. The current study took a longitudinal approach to explore whether the origins of prosocial behaviors can be traced back to foundational social‐cognitive capacities emerging in infancy. In a sample of 90 children, longitudinal rela…

  • Toddlers’ helping, sharing, and empathic distress: Does the race of the target matter

    Deborah Laible, Erin Karahuta et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2021

    Some work demonstrates toddlers show preferences in targets of their prosocial behavior, and a number of theorists have argued that young children become increasingly likely to direct their prosocial behavior to ingroup over outgroup targets with development. The goal of this study was to examine whether toddlers' early helping, sharing, and empathic distress were influenced by the race of the target person. Ninety-four White European American 18…

  • The quality of mother‐adolescent disclosure: Links with predictors and adolescents’ sociomoral outcomes

    Open AccessDeborah Laible, Olivia Denise Conover et al.ARTICLESocial Development2019References: 19

    Previous work on adolescents’ disclosure has focused on the frequency of disclosure to parents, but not the quality of that disclosure. Therefore, there is a need to examine factors that predict the quality of adolescents’ disclosure, as well as the consequences of the quality for adolescents’ outcomes. In this study, 100 adolescents ( M age = 14.27 years; 57 girls; 70.7% White, European American) disclosed to mothers a recent past event in which…

  • Does corporal punishment erode the quality of the mother–child interaction in early childhood

    Open AccessDeborah Laible, A N Davis et al.ARTICLESocial Development2019References: 10

    Corporal punishment is believed to exert its influence partially on children's externalizing behavior by undermining the quality of parent‐child relationships, but empirical evidence for this belief is lacking. Thus, the goal of this study was to explore longitudinally whether the use of corporal punishment by mothers was associated with declining quality in parent‐child interactions and whether these declines mediated the links between corporal …

  • Maternal sensitivity and effortful control in early childhood as predictors of adolescents’ adjustment: The mediating roles of peer group affiliation and social behaviors

    Deborah Laible, Gustavo Carlo et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2016Cited by: 13References: 12

    Longitudinal links between early childhood temperament, maternal sensitivity, and adolescents' adjustment have been proposed and found in several longitudinal studies, but the mechanisms of influence have not been explored. The authors examined the paths from maternal sensitivity and temperament in early childhood to adolescents' prosocial, aggressive, and delinquent behaviors via childhood social behaviors and peer group affiliation.
