Eye movements in natural silent reading and their motor and cognitive correlates: A large-scale population-based study of pre-adolescents
Eye tracking research has been instrumental in deepening our understanding of the reading process. Growing evidence links individual differences in eye movement patterns to cognitive abilities, but these associations remain underexplored in developing readers. This study examined the feasibility of implementing large-scale eye tracking in a population-based sample of developing readers, and examined the associations between eye movement patterns,…
Examining bidirectional associations between overprotective parenting and adolescent problem behaviors: A multiverse analysis
BACKGROUND: Research on overprotective parenting in adolescence has predominantly used cross-sectional designs, limiting attention to possible bidirectional associations between such parenting and adolescents' problem behaviors. The few longitudinal studies available have yielded mixed findings regarding the direction of effects between overprotective parenting and adolescent outcomes, which may stem from substantive and design-related choices (e…
Associations between genetic predisposition to mental health problems and academic achievement: A developmental perspective using two population‐based cohorts
BACKGROUND: Children's cognitive abilities play an important role throughout their academic career, but recent studies highlight the negative impacts of aggression, inattention, and impulsivity on academic success. These behaviors and traits are central to most externalizing (EXT) and neurodevelopmental (NDD) problems, which are substantially genetically influenced. We examined the mechanisms by which high levels of genetic predispositions to EXT…
Disentangling direct and indirect genetic pathways to neurodevelopmental risk: Brain structure and behavior in a population‐based parent–offspring trio study
BACKGROUND: Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are highly heritable, yet the pathways linking parental genetic liability to child outcomes remain poorly understood. Traditional designs cannot easily separate genes transmitted to the child from environmental influences shaped by parental genotypes. METHODS: In 3,270 families from the Generation R Study, we applied a mother-father-offspring trio design to disentangle direct genetic effects from in…
Longitudinal co‐development of mental and cardio‐metabolic health from childhood to young adulthood
BACKGROUND: Depressive symptoms and cardio-metabolic risk factors often co-occur. However, our understanding of the potential mechanisms and temporal dynamics underlying their co-development remains elusive. METHODS: This population-based cohort study examined bidirectional longitudinal associations between depressive symptoms and cardio-metabolic risk factors from age 10 to 25 years, using prospective data from the ALSPAC Study. Participants wit…
Harsh discipline in adolescence: Prevalence, emotional correlates, and intergenerational roots in an Asian cohort
The current study examined 13-year-old adolescents' self-reports regarding the prevalence, frequency, and emotional experiences of harsh discipline (psychological aggression, corporal punishment, severe assault) from both mothers and fathers. We further investigated how mothers' childhood experiences of physical discipline were associated with their current disciplinary practices through parental attitudes and emotional dysregulation in the conte…
Early Maternal Parenting Profiles and Subsequent Child Well‐Being in an Asian Cohort
Objective To identify parenting profiles among Singaporean mothers of young children and to examine the longitudinal implications of these profiles for children's well‐being during middle childhood. Background The universality of traditional parenting styles (e.g., authoritative, authoritarian), established in Western contexts, and their implications for child well‐being, has been called into question, with studies conducted with Asian population…
Maternal Use of Physical Discipline and Children's Externalizing Problems Across Childhood in Singapore
This study explored the reciprocal associations between maternal physical discipline and children's externalizing problems across childhood, distinguishing between trait-like (i.e., between-person) and state-like (i.e., within-person) differences. We used data from 604 dyads in Singapore, a context where physical discipline is commonly accepted. We analyzed maternal physical discipline and children's externalizing problems at three timepoints bet…
Identifying cognitive, affective, and developmental mechanisms linking threat and deprivation with adolescent psychopathology
BACKGROUND: The mechanisms linking early-life adversity with psychopathology over the life-course are complex. In this prospective study, we collectively examined cognitive, affective, and developmental mediators previously found to individually link childhood threat and deprivation experiences to adolescent psychopathology to identify the most potent mechanisms. METHODS: Data came from a community sample of 227 children (mean child age 11.5 ± 0.…

Reliability and validity of the responsive care tool for children 0–3 years old in a rural, South Asian setting
Research has shown the importance of responsive caregiving for fostering positive development early in life; however, tools measuring these interactions are often impractical for larger scale intervention trials and in settings with resource constraints. The present study provides reliability and validity evidence from Sindh, Pakistan for a tool developed to quantify responsive caregiving. Data were collected from 200 randomly selected households…
Are some children genetically predisposed to poor sleep? A polygenic risk study in the general population
Background Twin studies show moderate heritability of sleep traits: 40% for insomnia symptoms and 46% for sleep duration. Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genetic variants involved in insomnia and sleep duration in adults, but it is unknown whether these variants affect sleep during early development. We assessed whether polygenic risk scores for insomnia (PRS‐I) and sleep duration (PRS‐SD) affect sleep throughout early chil…
“How Am I Going to Do It?” Understanding the Challenges of Assuming Care of a Child Born During their Mothers’ Incarceration
Objectives: Mass incarceration of women systematically targets minoritized groups. Approximately 1,000 births occur from prison annually; and most children must be cared for by someone other than their mother. Little is known about caregiving for infants in the context of maternal incarceration. The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences of caregivers assuming care of newborns of incarcerated mothers to identify challenges and prov…

Trajectories of early childhood development in children experiencing homelessness
When I hold my daughter, she quiets, no need [for]any verbal conversation”: A qualitative understanding of responsive caregiving in rural, Sindh Pakistan
Responsive caregiving is associated with secure attachment and positive child developmental outcomes. However, there is some debate on whether responsive caregiving is a universal construct. Few studies have researched responsive caregiving in diverse cultural settings, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries. In this study, we explore if and how responsive caregiving is conceptualized among mothers of children under 3‐years‐old in rural…
Longitudinal relationships between early-life homelessness and school-aged asthma and wheezing
BACKGROUND: Homelessness is a disruptive life event with profound impacts on children's health. It remains unclear, however, whether homelessness in early life has an enduring association with asthma and wheezing among school-aged children. OBJECTIVE: To test whether early-life homelessness is prospectively associated with asthma and wheezing during school-aged years. METHODS: We draw on data from 9242 children from the Avon Longitudinal Study of…
What maternal educational mobility tells us about the mother's parenting routines, offspring school achievement and intelligence
Modeling the malleable mental health trajectory – a commentary on Oldehinkel and Ormel (2023)
In their Annual Research Review titled ‘Stability of psychopathology: Lessons learned from longitudinal population surveys’ (Oldehinkel & Ormel, Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2022) argue that psychological and psychiatric researchers should not only compare groups but also focus on the within‐person variability using repeated measurements in longitudinal studies to advance our understanding of emotional and behavioral problems. I ar…
Facing ostracism: Micro-coding facial expressions in the Cyberball social exclusion paradigm
We show that facial expressions are associated with self-reported negative feelings during social exclusion, discuss that reporter-bias might be minimized using facial expressions, and find divergent associations of observed facial expressions and self-reported negative feelings with later internalizing problems

Associations Between Self-Reported Sensory Impairment and Risk of Cognitive Decline and Impairment in the Health and Retirement Study Cohort
Self-assessed sensory impairment is independently associated with cognitive decline and incident possible CIND and probable dementia. Further studies are needed to identify the mechanism underlying this association and to determine whether treatment of sensory impairment could ameliorate cognitive decline and delay the onset of dementia among older adults
Infant feeding and child fussy eating: The Generation R Study
Behind bullying and defending: Same‐sex and other‐sex relations and their associations with acceptance and rejection
Relatively little is known about bullying and defending behaviors of children in early elementary school. However, this period is crucial for children's development as at this age they start to participate in a stable peer group, and difficulties in social interactions can be detected early by professionals. An interactive animated web‐based computer program was used in this study to assess peer relationships among young children. The computerize…

Breastfeeding duration and non-verbal IQ in children
The association between breastfeeding and child IQ can be largely explained by sociodemographic factors, parental lifestyle and maternal IQ. Our results cannot confirm beneficial effects of breastfeeding on child intelligence
Association Between Infant Nighttime‐sleep Location and Attachment Security: No Easy Verdict
We tested whether mother–infant bed‐sharing is associated with increased secure infant–mother attachment, a previously unexplored association. Frequency of bed‐sharing and mothers’ nighttime comforting measures at 2 months were assessed with questionnaires in 550 Caucasian mothers from a population‐based cohort. Attachment security was assessed with the Strange Situation Procedure (M.D.S. Ainsworth, M.C. Blehar, E. Waters, & S. Wall, 1978) at 14 …
Body shape index in comparison with other anthropometric measures in prediction of total and cause-specific mortality
BACKGROUND: The association of body mass index (BMI) with mortality remains controversial among the middle-aged and elderly. Moreover, the contribution of other anthropometric measures to predict mortality is unclear. METHODS: We assessed the association of BMI, waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and a body shape index (ABSI=WC/(BMI(2/3)×height(1/2))) with total, cardiovascular and cancer mortality by…

The sex-specific association between autistic traits and eating behavior in childhood: An exploratory study in the general population
The Influence of Fathers and Mothers Equally Sharing Childcare Responsibilities on Children's Cognitive Development from Early Childhood to School Age: An Overlooked Mechanism in the Intergenerational…
There is increasing awareness that the intergenerational transmission of (dis)advantages is filtered through intra-familial dynamics, in particular, parenting practices. Surprisingly, few studies have investigated what role the extent to which fathers and mothers equally share childcare responsibilities plays in this transmission. Using data from 2,027 families in a Dutch prospective cohort study, our structural equation modelling analyses showed…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the determinants of heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) in children. The autonomic nervous system as measured by HR and HRV is considered a biological marker of psychopathology in children. METHODS: We examined the relationship of maternal psychopathology with infant HR and HRV. HR was recorded at 14 months in 528 infants. The high-frequency component of HRV was used as an indicator of cardiac vagal modulation. T…
Does Disturbed Sleeping Precede Symptoms of Anxiety or Depression in Toddlers? The Generation R Study
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether sleep problems in infancy and early toddlerhood precede symptoms of anxiety or depression at 3 years. METHODS: Data on specific sleep problems at 2 months and 24 months were available for 4,782 children participating in a population-based cohort in The Netherlands. The Child Behavior Checklist for toddlers containing the Anxious/Depressed syndrome scale was assessed at 36 months. We adjusted the logistic regression a…
Recognition of facial expressions of emotions by 3-year-olds
Very few large-scale studies have focused on emotional facial expression recognition (FER) in 3-year-olds, an age of rapid social and language development. We studied FER in 808 healthy 3-year-olds using verbal and nonverbal computerized tasks for four basic emotions (happiness, sadness, anger, and fear). Three-year-olds showed differential performance on the verbal and nonverbal FER tasks, especially with respect to fear. That is to say, fear wa…

Children's eating behavior, feeding practices of parents and weight problems in early childhood: Results from the population-based Generation R Study
BACKGROUND: Weight problems that arise in the first years of life tend to persist. Behavioral research in this period can provide information on the modifiable etiology of unhealthy weight. The present study aimed to replicate findings from previous small-scale studies by examining whether different aspects of preschooler's eating behavior and parental feeding practices are associated with body mass index (BMI) and weight status -including underw…
Breastfeeding and early brain development: The G eneration R study
Breastfeeding during infancy is associated with a range of short- and long-term health benefits. We examine whether breastfeeding in the first 2 months of life is associated with structural markers of brain development in infants from the general population. This study was embedded within the Generation R study. Cranial ultrasounds were obtained at approximately 7 weeks post-natal age. The diameter of the gangliothalamic ovoid, corpus callosum le…
Prevalence of bullying and victimization among children in early elementary school: Do family and school neighbourhood socioeconomic status matter
Bullying and victimization are already common problems in early elementary school. Children from socioeconomically disadvantaged families, rather than children visiting schools in disadvantaged neighbourhoods, have a particularly high risk of involvement in bullying. These findings suggest the need of timely bullying preventions and interventions that should have a special focus on children of families with a low socioeconomic background. Future …
Differences in problem behaviour among ethnic minority and majority preschoolers in the Netherlands and the role of family functioning and parenting factors as mediators: The Generation R Study
This study showed that preschoolers from ethnic minorities and particularly children of first generation immigrants are at an increased risk of problem behaviour compared to children born to a Dutch mother. Although socio-economic factors were found to partly explain the association between the ethnic minority status and child problem behaviour, a similar part was explained by family functioning and parenting factors. Considering these findings, …
Health-related quality of life of infants from ethnic minority groups: The Generation R Study
Parent-reported health-related quality of life is lower in infants from ethnic minority groups compared to native Dutch infants, which could partly be explained by infant health and by family characteristics
