  • Integrating artificial intelligence into neo-ecological theory

    Open AccessJessica L NavarroARTICLECurrent Psychology2026

    This paper integrates Artificial Intelligence (AI) into neo-ecological theory to provide a lens through which to view the complex and dynamic influence of AI on human development and family systems. Neo-ecological theory was first delineated in 2022 as an adaptation of Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological theory for the digital age. Since then, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a significant force in the lives of children, youth, and families, an…

  • Digital location tracking in the parent/caregiver–college student dyad

    Open AccessGregory E Chase, Morgan T Brown et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2024

    INTRODUCTION: As college students navigate new developmental milestones, many families rely on digital technology to stay connected and aid in the transition to adulthood. Digital location tracking apps allow for parental monitoring in new ways that may have implications for youth development. Although recent research has begun to examine prevalence and motivations for digital location tracking in adolescence, we know little about how and why fam…

  • It isn’t just Mom

    Open AccessJessica L Navarro, Morgan Brown et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2024

    Media and research reports have highlighted the disproportionate burden of home and family responsibilities shouldered by women and mothers due to COVID-19-related school/childcare shutdowns. This cross-sectional study extends this line of inquiry to emerging adults. Our study of 329 diverse emerging adults suggests that young women took on more home/family responsibilities than young men amidst the pandemic, and that these duties were associated…

  • A bifactor model of U.S. parents’ attitudes regarding mediation for the digital age

    Jessica L Navarro, A C Fletcher et al.ARTICLEJournal of Children and Media2023

    Parents use digital-specific strategies to mitigate online risks and augment online benefits of digital technology in their children’s lives. The goal of this study was to develop and validate a measure of parents’ attitudes about mediation of digital technology. An internet-based survey was administered to 460 parents of children and adolescents in the United States. Exploratory bifactor analysis revealed one general factor, reflecting general p…

  • Bored of the rings

    Open AccessJessica L Navarro, Christina Stephens et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Theory & Review2022Cited by: 5References: 1

    Bronfenbrenner's ecological (and later bioecological) theory has been a mainstay in the theoretical wheelhouse of developmental and family sciences since its inception in the 1970s. However, few studies accurately operationalize Bronfenbrenner's process‐person‐context‐time (PPCT) research model. The aim of this paper is to provide a practical guide to the design, implementation, and analysis of PPCT research studies. Using recent qualitative and …

  • Using cultural‐ecological theory to construct a mid‐range theory for the development of gratitude as a virtue

    Open AccessJonathan Tudge, Jessica L Navarro et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Theory & Review2021Cited by: 1References: 13

    Gratitude scholarship, whether in the close relationships or developmental literature, currently lacks a coherent framework. The term gratitude is used for a wide variety of constructs, and there is rarely a clear link between conceptualization and operationalization. We think that gratitude should be considered a moral virtue, involving the desire to reciprocate in some kind or helpful way to one's intentional benefactors. Our goal is thus to pr…

  • What Is Gratitude? Ingratitude Provides the Answer

    Open AccessJessica L Navarro, Jonathan R H Tudge et al.ARTICLEHuman Development2020

    Current scholarship on “gratitude” has largely ignored its opposite – ingratitude. As a result, gratitude is no longer distinguishable from constructs such as appreciation and happiness. This was not the case over previous centuries – ingratitude was viewed as something monstrous, a failure to reciprocate would loosen the bonds holding society together. The opposite, gratitude, was seen as a virtue. Reciprocity has come under attack because “obli…
