Parental Differential Treatment and Sibling Relationship Quality
Parental differential treatment (PDT) is an important aspect of children’s unique experiences within the family environment, with well-established links to lower-quality sibling relationships. Existing literature often assumes that PDT fosters anger and rivalry. However, the reverse association may also be true, with poor sibling relationships disrupting parental attitudes and behaviors that exacerbate differential parenting. The directionality o…
A longitudinal exploration of pandemic stress and family adaptation on child coping
The COVID-19 pandemic posed significant risks to children, yet there is little longitudinal research on children’s coping during this period. The current study used data from the Child Resilience and Managing Pandemic Emotional Distress (CRAMPED) Families project, a longitudinal study of 1,096 children nested within 548 families across seven timepoints from May 2020 to October 2022. We examined trajectories of child coping over 2.5 years of the p…
Examining the Mental Health of Siblings of Children with a Mental Disorder
Validation of a Community Belonging Measure for Youth and Adults
Measuring community belonging is of interest to community organizations and practitioners, yet few tools exist. Here we validate a novel measure of community belonging: the Where I Belong Survey – Youth/Adult Version (WIBS). In Study 1, the psychometric properties and factor structure of the survey were examined in three Canadian samples of youth and young adults ( n = 249; 840; 443, respectively), and results were used to refine the survey. In S…
The association between well-being and belonging differs across census-defined neighbourhoods for Ontario youth
Individual and neighbourhood differences explained variance in well-being. • Various individual, interpersonal, and neighbourhood factors predicted well-being. • Census characteristics did not predict youth well-being. • The relationship between belonging and well-being differed across neighbourhoods. • Effect modification on the belonging/well-being association was observed. The goal of the current study was to explore the association between be…
Children’s Socioemotional Strengths in Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Before/After School Care (Basc)
Background/Objectives: The current study explored how trajectories of children's socioemotional strengths were explained by school, classroom, and individual differences in the context of licensed early childhood education (ECE), involving preschool and before/after school programming. The predictive role of neighbourhood socioeconomic status (SES) was also explored. Methods: Participants included n = 226 children from 39 classrooms across seven …
Trajectories of Psychopathology Among Youth with Physical Illness
Associations Between Family Factors and Mental Health Service Use Among Children with Physical Illness
Youth mental health in a Canadian community sample during Covid‐19
Research has linked broad societal changes related to the COVID‐19 pandemic and poorer mental health in young people. There remains a pressing need for studies examining the factors that are associated with better mental health and well‐being. The current study addresses this gap using a community‐based survey called the Waterloo Region Youth Impact Survey. It was designed in partnership with local youth and the Canadian Index of Well‐Being in ac…
Children's activities, parental concerns, and child care service utilization in the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, most Canadian provinces and territories enacted public health measures to reduce virus spread, leading most child care centers across the country to limit or halt in-person service delivery. While it is broadly known that the range of activities available to children and youth reduced drastically as a result, research has yet to explore if and how children's activities shifted in relation…

Latent Classes of Adverse and Benevolent Childhood Experiences in a Multinational Sample of Parents and Their Relation to Parent, Child, and Family Functioning during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are known to contribute to later mental health. Conversely, Benevolent Childhood Experiences (BCEs) may buffer against mental health difficulties. The importance of ACEs and BCEs for mental health of both parents and children may be most obvious during periods of stress, with potential consequences for functioning of the family. Subgroups of ACEs and BCEs in parents during the COVID-19 pandemic were investigat…
Screen Time and Mental Health in Canadian Youth
As screens have become ubiquitous in modern-day society, investigating the effects of high screen time on mental health is highly warranted. In the past decade, many studies have determined that higher levels of screen time engagement are associated with adverse mental health outcomes like anxiety and depression. However, the nature of the relationship between screen time and mental health requires further investigation to gain a better understan…
Parenthood and well‐being
The present study examined correlates of well‐being amongst a cross‐sectional, national sample of Canadians, focusing on respondents’ parenthood and immigration status. Indirect associations via time pressure and religious practices were examined, in addition to the moderating role of religious practices on the relationship between time pressure and well‐being. Participants were from the 2015 Canadian General Social Survey between 25 and 65 years…
Developmental and family considerations in internet use disorder taxonomy. Commentary on
Montag, Wegmann, Sariyska, Demetrovics, and Brand (2019) propose an important framework surrounding the taxonomy of problematic internet usage, with particular applications to disentangling the role of mobile and other handheld devices versus stationary platforms. This is a critical contribution, as organizational frameworks have begun to move past “whether” there is disordered internet use, and towards better understanding the complex and multif…
Addressing taxonomic challenges for Internet Use Disorders in light of changing technologies and diagnostic classifications
Drawing a distinction between mobile and non-mobile Internet Use Disorders is an important step to clarify blurred current concepts in the field of behavioral addictions. Similarly, future technological advances related to virtual or augmented reality, artificial intelligence or the Internet of things might lead to further modifications or new taxonomies. Moreover, diagnostic specifiers like offline/online might change with technological advances…
The Covid-19 Family Stressor Scale
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 …
Trajectories of psychosocial functioning and attachment behaviors among children adopted in the Ontario child welfare system
The adoption of children involved in the child welfare system is viewed as a favorable outcome when family reconstitution is impossible, partially due to the relationship security afforded by long-term placement permanence. Recognition of the importance of secure caregiver-child relationships has informed the development of caregiving-oriented attachment-focused services, such as those provided by the Therapeutic Family Care Program (TFCP). The p…
Covid-19 disruption gets inside the family
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 …

Child and contextual effects in the emergence of differential maternal sensitivity across siblings
The present study examined the effects of socioeconomic status (SES) and sibling differences in birth weight on sibling differences in the receipt of maternal sensitivity (i.e., differential parenting). It was hypothesized that sibling differences in birth weight would predict absolute differential parenting across the sibship (i.e., the more different siblings' birth weight, the more different the level of sensitivity in the family, overall) and…

Cumulative psychosocial risk, parental socialization, and child cognitive functioning
Previous studies have demonstrated that various psychosocial risks are associated with poor cognitive functioning in children, and these risks frequently cluster together. In the current longitudinal study, we tested a model in which it was hypothesized that cumulative psychosocial adversity of mothers would have deleterious effects on children's cognitive functioning by compromising socialization processes within families (i.e., parental compete…
Observed sensitivity during family interactions and cumulative risk
The present study sought to investigate the family, individual, and dyad-specific contributions to observed cognitive sensitivity during family interactions. Moreover, the influence of cumulative risk on sensitivity at the aforementioned levels of the family was examined. Mothers and 2 children per family were observed interacting in a round robin design (i.e., mother-older sibling, mother younger-sibling and sibling-dyad, N = 385 families). Data…
Cognitive sensitivity and child receptive vocabulary
This study examined the association between observed cognitive sensitivity (CS) during family interactions and children's receptive vocabulary for older and younger siblings. Maternal and sibling CS was considered and associations were explored at the family-wide (between-family) and child-specific (within-family) levels of analysis. The interactions of mothers and 2 children per family were observed when younger siblings were 3.15 years (SD = 0.…
The effect and expense of redemption reintegration services versus usual reintegration care for young African Canadians discharged from incarceration
African Canadians comprise 2.5% of the population, but represent 9.5% of federal inmates - an increase of 80% since 2003-2004. Recidivism among federal inmates is high (about 40%). This paper outlines the findings, at 9 months after enrolment during 2011-2012, of a randomised controlled trial testing the effectiveness and cost of Redemption Reintegration Services (RRS), a culturally specific, multi-level intervention for young African Canadian fo…

Association of Sexting With Sexual Behaviors and Mental Health Among Adolescents
IMPORTANCE: Sexting is the exchange of sexual messages, photographs, or videos via technological devices and is common and increasing among youth. Although various studies have examined the association between sexting, sexual behaviors, and mental health, results are mixed. OBJECTIVE: To provide a meta-analytic synthesis of studies examining the associations between sexting, sexual behavior, and mental health using sex, age, publication date, and…
Association Between Screen Time and Children’s Performance on a Developmental Screening Test
Importance: Excessive screen time is associated with delays in development; however, it is unclear if greater screen time predicts lower performance scores on developmental screening tests or if children with poor developmental performance receive added screen time as a way to modulate challenging behavior. Objective: To assess the directional association between screen time and child development in a population of mothers and children. Design, S…
