Binegativity, Childhood Maltreatment, Impulsivity, and Risky Behaviors Among Heavy Drinking Bisexual Women
Bisexual women report more alcohol use and sexual risk-taking than lesbian or heterosexual women. Few studies have examined the underlying mechanisms associating stress sources (binegativity, childhood trauma) with drinking and sexual risk-taking behaviors among bisexual women. Impulsivity may be one such mechanism. This study tested if impulsivity served as a mechanism between childhood trauma, binegativity, alcohol use, and sexual risk-taking. …
Mothers’ Knowledge of What Reduces Distress in Their Adolescents: Impact on the Development of Adolescent Approach Coping
SYNOPSISObjective. This longitudinal study assessed the role of mothers’ knowledge of what is comforting to their adolescents when they are distressed. The authors proposed that the adolescents of mothers who were knowledgeable but dissatisfied with their adolescent would have adolescents who coped better than those whose mothers were less dissatisfied; dissatisfied mothers would be more likely to draw on their knowledge to engage in “not-too-nic…
Motivational Orientation Explains the Link between Political Ideology and Proenvironmental Behavior
Liberals and conservatives show consistent differences in attitudes toward proenvironmental behavior (or PEB); this research seeks to understand why. We investigated the role of political ideology in predicting self-reported PEB and assessed whether this association was mediated by environmental motivation. Survey respondents (N = 310) reported on their political ideology, type of motivation, and frequency of various PEBs. Results of structural e…
Different ways of knowing a child and their relations to mother‐reported autonomy support
We considered how different forms of child knowledge (i.e., mothers’ reports of taking their child's perspective, their accurate knowledge in the form of precise predictions of their child's ratings regarding distress/comforting and compliance/discipline situations, and their perceived knowledge) are differentially associated with mother‐reported autonomy support (i.e., providing meaningful rationales, providing choice, and acknowledging feelings…
Predicting moral outrage and religiosity with an implicit measure of moral identity
Social Development and Social Relationships in Middle Childhood
In middle childhood, peers become important as children spend more time away from home. Major improvements occur in children's ability to understand the perspective of others and in their inferences about the psychological attributes of others, as well as of themselves. Social development continues to result from a complex interaction between genes and the environment in which children find themselves, and behavior geneticists have begun to ident…
