  • Annual Research Review: The role of caregiver sensitivity in children's developmental outcomes – an umbrella review

    Open Access•Marissa D Nivison, R M Pasco Fearon et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Child Psychology and…•2026

    Caregiver sensitivity is the extent to which a caregiver notices a child's signal, interprets it correctly, and responds quickly and appropriately. Although originally introduced to developmental science as the key antecedent of attachment security, decades since its conception, hundreds of studies have been conducted examining the predictive significance of caregiver sensitivity to a broad range of developmental outcomes. The literature on careg…

  • The long reach of adversity: Intermediary pathways from maternal adverse childhood experiences to child socio‐emotional and cognitive outcomes

    Open Access•Sheri Madigan, André Plamondon et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Child Psychology and…•2025

    BACKGROUND: This longitudinal study with multi-informant (maternal, paternal, and experimenter) and multimethod (questionnaires, behavioral observations, and standardized assessments) data tests an intergenerational model from mothers' adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) to their children's socio-emotional and cognitive outcomes. METHODS: Participants were 501 children (50.7% male) and caregivers (56.5% white) followed from child age 2 months to…

  • Assessing Educator Responsivity in Outdoor Early Childhood Education and Care Settings: Validating the Outdoor Environment Version of the Responsive Interactions for Learning Measure

    Esther Yu, Samantha Burns et al.•ARTICLE•Early Education and Development•2025

    Research Findings: Outdoor time is essential in early childhood education, yet quality assessments that are specifically focused on outdoor settings remain limited. Existing indoor measures primarily evaluate environment-level quality while neglecting educator-child interactions and the educators’ central role in children’s central learning. This study evaluates the psychometric properties of the Responsive Interactions for Learning – Outdoor Env…

  • The role of refugee children’s host country language in their resilience to resettlement: A longitudinal and within-family study on Syrian children’s early adaptation in Canada

    Steve Songtao Wang, Redab Al-Janaideh et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2025

    One hundred twenty-six children (between 6 and 13 years) in 71 families who were resettled in Canada, as a result of the Syrian Civil War, were followed up over 3 years, using a sibling comparison, longitudinal design. This design allowed us to test the hypothesis that host country receptive language competence (L2) protects refugee children's mental health in families with limited resources (low parental education, large family size). The siblin…

    Open Access•Michal Perlman, Gabriella Nocita et al.•ARTICLE•Early Childhood Research Quarterly•2025•References: 1

  • Can a Brief Professional Development Improve Early Childhood Educators’ Responsivity and Interaction Quality in Child Care Centers? A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

    Ashley Brunsek, Michelle Rodrigues et al.•ARTICLE•Early Education and Development•2024

    High-quality early childhood education and care (ECEC) – particularly care defined by highly responsive interactions between educators and children – has the potential to have lasting positive impacts on children’s development. While there is variability in the level of quality among early education and care settings, professional development for early childhood educators has been shown to be an effective means to improve both ECEC quality and ch…

  • Influence of Maternal Cognitions on Child Mental Health and Educational Experiences at Home During Covid-19

    Calpanaa Jegatheeswaran, Samantha Burns et al.•ARTICLE•Early Education and Development•2024

    Suboptimal parenting characterized by low self-efficacy and perceived impact is associated with poor child mental health and academic outcomes, especially for at-risk families. This study capitalized on a longitudinal study conducted prior to and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic to test how prior parenting cognitions and environmental risk factors predict mental health and educational challenges faced by children during the pandemic. Pre-…

  • Dimensions of parenting during infancy: Testing a latent bifactor model

    Open Access•Julia Martini, M Wade et al.•ARTICLE•Social Development•2024•References: 3

    In the current paper, we examined the dimensional structure of parenting using a bifactor model of observed parenting domains during infancy. We validated our parenting dimensions by examining correlations with indicators of family well‐being and child development. Data come from a longitudinal cohort that recruited a diverse sample of mothers (56.5% White) and their newborn child (50.7% males). Parenting was assessed using multiple indicators at…

  • Do siblings influence one another? Unpacking processes that occur during sibling conflict

    Open Access•Sahar Borairi, André Plamondon et al.•ARTICLE•Child Development•2023

    This study examined the extent to which 205 sibling dyads influenced each other during conflict. Data were collected between 2013 to 2015. The sample included 5.9% Black, 15.1% South Asian, 15.1% East Asian, and 63.8% White children. Older siblings were between 7–13 years old (Female = 109) and younger siblings were 5–9 years old (Female = 99). Siblings' conflict resolution was analyzed using dynamic structural equation modeling. Modeling fluctua…

  • Association between maternal sensitivity and child receptive language development: Quasi-causal evidence using a sibling comparison design

    Sheri Madigan, André Plamondon et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2023•Cited by: 1

    Observational studies have shown that caregiver sensitivity predicts child language skills. These studies, however, have entirely relied on between-family designs (single parent-child dyad per family), which cannot rule out the contribution of shared family confounds (e.g., genetics, books in home). The current study investigates whether observed caregiver sensitivity predicts changes in child receptive language using a sibling comparison design.…

  • The role of socioemotional wellbeing difficulties and adversity in the L2 acquisition of first-generation refugee children

    Open Access•Jim Paradis, Adriana Soto-Corominas et al.•ARTICLE•Bilingualism Language and Cognition•2022

    First-generation refugee children often experience pre- and post-migration adversity and display high levels of mental health/wellbeing difficulties, but to date, research has not examined the impact of such factors on refugee children's L2 acquisition. Accordingly, this study examined the influence of externalizing and internalizing problem behaviours (wellbeing), time in refugee camps and low socioeconomic status (SES) (adversity) on the Englis…

  • Assessing Quality Quickly: Validation of the Responsive Interactions for Learning - Educator (Rifl-Ed.) Measure

    Nina Sokolovic, Ashley Brunsek et al.•ARTICLE•Early Education and Development•2022

    Research Findings: In this study, we tested whether it is possible to reliably evaluate the quality of interactions between early childhood educators and children using a thin-slice coding approach. Ninety-seven early childhood educators were videotaped for two five-minute intervals: one mealtime observation and one standardized activity. Videos were scored using the shortened and revised 15-item Responsive Interactions for Learning – Educator (R…

  • Are there positive effects of having a sibling with special needs? Empathy and prosociality of twins of children with non-typical development

    Open Access•Yonat Rum, Shir Genzer et al.•ARTICLE•Child Development•2022

    This study examined whether typically developing (TD) twins of non-TD children demonstrate enhanced empathy and prosociality. Of 778 Hebrew-speaking Israeli families who participated in a twin study, 63 were identified to have a non-TD child with a TD twin, and 404 as having both twins TD. TD twins of non-TD children (27% males) were compared to the rest of the cohort of TD children (46% males) on measures of empathy and prosociality. Participant…

  • Teaching home-visitors to support responsive caregiving: A cluster randomized controlled trial of an online professional development program in Brazil

    Open Access•Nina Sokolovic, Alessandra Schneider et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Global Health•2022

The World Health Organization and UNICEF have identified responsive caregiving as one key component of the nurturing care children need to survive and thrive. Nonetheless, the importance of responsive caregiving and how to coach it is often overlooked in trainings for staff i…

  • The time value of carbon storage

    Open Access•Zack Parisa, Eric Marland et al.•ARTICLE•Forest Policy and Economics•2022•Cited by: 6•References: 1

    Widespread concern about the risks of global climate change is increasingly focused on the urgent need for action, and natural climate solutions are a critical component of global strategies to achieve low temperature targets. Yet to date, the full potential of natural systems to store carbon has not been leveraged because policymakers have required long-term contracts to compensate for permanence concerns, and these long-term contracts substanti…

  • Examining interactions between educators and across children: Evaluating the validity of the responsive interactions for Learning - Educator-Child Dyad version

    Open Access•Samantha Burns, Christine Barron et al.•ARTICLE•Early Childhood Research Quarterly•2022•References: 8

  • Art as Expression of Emotion Explored in Anna Karenina

    Keith Oatley, Jennifer M Jenkins•ARTICLE•Interdisciplinary Literary Studies•2021

    Robin Collingwood proposed that works of art are expressions of artists’ emotions and that those who engage with them can become better able to understand emotions of their own. We apply this approach to Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, thought by many to be the world's best novel. In this book, Tolstoy wrote of situations in ways that can evoke surprise. He showed its protagonists presenting themselves as if on a stage, but they are ambivalent: they…

  • Development and Evaluation of an Open-Source, Online Training for the Measurement of Adult-Child Responsivity at Home and in Early Childhood Education and Care Settings

Two brief observational measures of responsive caregiving have been developed and validated (Responsive Interactions for Learning—parent [RIFL-P] and educator [RIFL-Ed] versions), with the RIFL-P available in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. The aim of the current …

  • Paternal Sensitivity and Children’s Cognitive and Socioemotional Outcomes: A Meta-Analytic Review

    Open Access•Michelle Rodrigues, Nina Sokolovic et al.•ARTICLE•Child Development•2021

    In a series of meta-analyses, paternal sensitivity was associated with children’s (age range: 7 months–9 years) overall cognitive functioning (N = 3,193; k = 23; r = .19), including language skills (k = 9; r = .21), cognitive ability (k = 9; r = .18), and executive function (k = 8; r = .19). Paternal sensitivity was not associated with children’s overall socioemotional functioning (N = 2,924; k = 24; r = −.03) or internalizing problems, but it wa…

  • Linking Quality and Quantity of Parental Linguistic Input to Child Language Skills: A Meta-Analysis

    Open Access•Nina Anderson, Susan A Graham et al.•ARTICLE•Child Development•2021

    This meta-analysis examined associations between the quantity and quality of parental linguistic input and children’s language. Pooled effect size for quality (i.e., vocabulary diversity and syntactic complexity; k = 35; N = 1,958; r = .33) was more robust than for quantity (i.e., number of words/tokens/utterances; k = 33; N = 1,411; r = .20) of linguistic input. For quality and quantity of parental linguistic input, effect sizes were stronger wh…

  • Do Mothers or Children Lead the Dance? Disentangling Individual and Influence Effects During Conflict

    Open Access•Nina Sokolovic, André Plamondon et al.•ARTICLE•Child Development•2021

    Are mother–child conflict discussions shaped by time-varying, reciprocal influences, even after accounting for stable contributions from each individual? Mothers were filmed discussing a conflict for 5 min, separately with their younger (ages 5–9, N = 217) and older (ages 7–13, N = 220) children. Each person’s conflict constructiveness was coded in 20-s intervals and data were analyzed using dynamic structural equation modeling, which separates i…

  • The Covid-19 Family Stressor Scale: Validation and Measurement Invariance in Female and Male Caregivers

    Open Access•Heather Prime, M Wade et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Psychiatry•2021

    The COVID-19 pandemic has raised significant concerns regarding the effect of social disruptions on parental mental health, family well-being, and children's adjustment. Due to the pace of the pandemic, measures of pandemic-related disruption have not been subject to rigorous empirical validation. To address this gap, a multi-national sample (United Kingdom, 76%; United States, 19%; Canada, 4%, and Australia, 1%) of 372 female caregivers and 158 …

  • Covid-19 disruption gets inside the family: A two-month multilevel study of family stress during the pandemic

    Dillon T Browne, M Wade et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2021•Cited by: 8•References: 8

    Developmental research during COVID-19 suggests that pandemic-related disruptions in family relationships are associated with children's mental health. Most of this research has focused on 1 child per family, thereby obfuscating patterns that are differentially operative at the family-wide (i.e., between-family) versus child-specific (i.e., within-family) levels of analysis. Thus, the current study evaluates multilevel, longitudinal associations …

  • Siblings within families: Levels of analysis and patterns of influence

    Open Access•Jennifer M Jenkins, Jennifer Jenkins et al.•ARTICLE•New Directions for Child and…•2009

    The study of siblings has become increasingly central to developmental science. Sibling relationships have unique effects on development, and sibling designs allow researchers to isolate causal mechanisms in development. This volume emphasizes causal mechanisms in the social domain. We review the preceding chapters in relation to six topics: a multilevel modeling approach to the ecology of sibling relationships, unique contributions of sibling re…

In addition, genetic contributions were estimated for actor effects. Children showed higher mean levels of negativity and lower mean levels of positivity as ac…

  • Understanding Multilevel Dynamics in the Development of Parenting

    Jennifer M Jenkins•ARTICLE•Parenting•2012•References: 9

    SYNOPSIS Parenting is best understood from within a framework of person/context influence and interaction. Four themes from the articles are discussed. First, a multilevel perspective allows us to integrate across two nested structures: the biological and cognitive systems nested within individuals and the way in which individuals are nested within complex social environments. Second, the biological and cognitive pathways that underlie behavioral…

  • Maternal Abuse History, Postpartum Depression, and Parenting: Links With Preschoolers’ Internalizing Problems

    Open Access•Sheri Madigan, M Wade et al.•ARTICLE•Infant Mental Health Journal•2015•Cited by: 5•References: 42

    The current study examined a temporal cascade linking mothers' history of abuse with their children's internalizing difficulties through proximal processes such as maternal postnatal depressive symptoms and responsive parenting. Participants consisted of 490 mother-child dyads assessed at three time points when children were, on average, 2 months old at Time 1 (T1), 18 months at Time 2 (T2), and 36 months at Time 3 (T3). Maternal abuse history an…
