  • The development of electroencephalography microstates from infancy into middle childhood and their associations with behavior

    Open AccessCaroline Kelsey, Dashiell D Sacks et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2026

    Microstates reflect rapid changes in neural activity with specific scalp topographies. Microstates have been colloquially referred to as the "atoms of thought" and temporal properties of microstates are thought to be associated with mental health and cognition. However, little work has characterized the longitudinal developmental changes and associations with behavior across the infancy and middle childhood period. In this study, we examined deve…

  • EEG frontal alpha asymmetry mediates the association between maternal and child internalizing symptoms in childhood

    Open AccessDashiell D Sacks, Yiyi Wang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2025

    BACKGROUND: Anxiety and depression are highly prevalent in youth and can cause significant distress and functional impairment. The presence of maternal anxiety and depression are well-established risk factors for child internalizing psychopathology, yet the responsible mechanisms linking the two remain unclear. METHODS: We examined the potential mediating and moderating roles of EEG frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA) in the intergenerational transmiss…

  • The association between temperament and polygenic score for psychopathology from infancy to middle childhood

    Open AccessEloise Freitag, Caroline Kelsey et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2025

    BACKGROUND: Certain temperament characteristics, such as low effortful control and high negative affectivity, are linked to an elevated likelihood for later psychopathology. Although genetic vulnerability has been associated with a number of psychiatric conditions, little work has examined the genetic architecture underlying temperament or the genetic overlap between early temperament profiles and later mental health outcomes. The present study e…

  • Social Smiling and Laughter Are Linked to Enhanced Functional Brain Connectivity in Young Infants’ Default Mode Network

    Open AccessOlivia Allison, Caroline Kelsey et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychobiology2025Referências: 70

    The current study used functional near‐infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to investigate whether and how individual differences in positive social engagement among 5‐month‐old ( N = 109; N = 35 final sample) infants relate to variability in functional connectivity in the human brain's Default‐Mode Network (DMN). Neuroimaging results showed that on average infants displayed greater functional connectivity in the right than in the left hemisphere of the…

  • No one is going to recess

    Open AccessSarah Thomas, Caroline Kelsey et al.ARTICLESocial Development2024Referências: 14

    This study examined children's responses to targeted and collective punishment. Thirty-six 4-5-year-olds and 36 6-7-year-olds (36 females; 54 White; data collected 2018-2019 in the United States) experienced three classroom punishment situations: Targeted (only transgressing student punished), Collective (one student transgressed, all students punished), and Baseline (all students transgressed, all punished). The older children evaluated collecti…

  • Frontal asymmetry assessed in infancy using functional near-infrared spectroscopy is associated with emotional and behavioral problems in early childhood

    Open AccessCaroline Kelsey, Margaret A Modico et al.ARTICLEChild Development2023

    Frontal asymmetry (FA), the difference in brain activity between the left versus right frontal areas, is thought to reflect approach versus avoidance motivation. This study (2012–2021) used functional near-infrared spectroscopy to investigate if infant (Mage = 7.63 months; N = 90; n = 48 male; n = 75 White) FA in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex relates to psychopathology in later childhood (Mage = 62.05 months). Greater right FA to happy faces…

  • Maternal recognition of positive emotion predicts sensitive parenting in infancy

    Open AccessJessica A Stern, Caroline Kelsey et al.ARTICLEEmotion2022

    Research on parent-child relationships demonstrates the importance of maternal sensitivity for the development of children's emotion regulation, social competence, and health; thus, it is important to understand the emotional-cognitive capacities underlying maternal sensitivity. We followed 120 mothers and their full-term infants from the newborn period to 5 months postpartum. Mothers' emotion recognition during the newborn period was measured us…

  • Probing infants’ sensitivity to pupil size when viewing eyes

    Open AccessKatherine T Haynes, Caroline Kelsey et al.ARTICLEInfancy2021

    Sensitive responding to eye cues plays a key role in human social interactions. Pupil size provides subtle cues regarding a social interaction partner's arousal states. The current study assessed infants’ sensitivity to and preference for differences in pupil size. Specifically, we examined White 14‐month‐old infants’ pupillary responses when viewing own‐race and other‐race (Asian) eyes with dilating, constricting, and static medium‐sized pupils.…

  • Variability in Infants' Functional Brain Network Connectivity Is Associated With Differences in Affect and Behavior

    Open AccessCaroline Kelsey, Caroline M Kelsey et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2021

    Variability in functional brain network connectivity has been linked to individual differences in cognitive, affective, and behavioral traits in adults. However, little is known about the developmental origins of such brain-behavior correlations. The current study examined functional brain network connectivity and its link to behavioral temperament in typically developing newborn and 1-month-old infants ( M [age] = 25 days; N = 75) using function…

  • Eyes, More Than Other Facial Features, Enhance Real-World Donation Behavior

  • Emotion Correlates of Bullies, Victims, and Bully-Victims in African American Children

    Open AccessCaroline Kelsey, Janice Zeman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Black Psychology2017Referências: 61

    Bullying is a pervasive and widely studied problem. Less is known about the emotion correlates that accompany being a bully, being a victim of bullying, and experiencing both bullying and victimization for African American elementary-school-age students. The current study examined differences in emotion dysregulation and internalizing symptoms (depression, anxiety) across levels of bullying and victimization. Children ( N = 336, Mage = 9.58 years…
