Designing for Children's Social Play Affordances
While studies regarding children's outdoor play often focus on nature exposure and physical activity, this study explored a lesser-published topic of outdoor play and socioemotional development. The study utilized an online survey of early childhood educators to explore their views on the outdoor play settings and their physical design features that afford solitary, parallel, and cooperative play. We analyzed the quantitative data from the 64 res…
Educators' perceptions about outdoor play affordances for solitary, parallel, and cooperative play
Grounded in the Theory of Affordances, this exploratory study examined the afforded behaviors of play in outdoor play environments. Although studies have extensively examined affordances for physical development, this study contributes to the lesser‐published topic of designing spaces that foster socioemotional development in young children. A survey utilized heat map images and open‐ended questions to collect qualitative data from 44 early child…

Results revealed that college students from divorced homes were not as close with their parents and reported decreased religiosity compared to participants from nondivorced homes, and that these factors are associated with young adults’ views and expectations on romantic relationships. The work presented here provides implications fo…
College Students’ Perceptions of Media Portrayals of Divorce

Findings suggest that participants perceived both positive and negative representations of divorced families in the media they consume, highlighting the complex nature of navigating and communicating through a divorce. Specifically, college students reported on aspects of the ex-spousal relationship, how children are affected…
Relation between active mediation, exposure to Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood , and US preschoolers’ social and emotional development
This study explored the relationship between active mediation, exposure to Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, and key indicators of preschoolers’ social and emotional development. One hundred and twenty-seven children aged 2–6 either watched or did not watch 10 episodes of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood over a two-week period. Results revealed that preschoolers who watched the program exhibited higher levels of empathy, self-efficacy, and emotion recognit…
Space, Place, and Privacy
Young children create spaces to claim as their own within their larger environments. Some spaces serve social and play functions, while others may offer a sense of security and safety, as suggested by prospect–refuge theory (Appleton, J. (1975). The experience of landscape. New York: John Wiley and Sons). Although we know that children create secret spaces for themselves, less is known about how children construct these spaces. This study used fo…
The Structure of Parent–Child Dyadic Synchrony in Toddlerhood and Children's Communication Competence and Self‐control
The aim of the present investigation was to examine parent–child synchrony and its link to children's communicative competence and self‐control. Data were collected from 80 families with toddler age children (41 girls, 39 boys) during a laboratory assessment. Five components of parent–child dyadic synchrony were assessed during a semi‐structured parent–child play activity at 18 months. Assessments of children's communicative competence and self‐c…
Emerging Adulthood
The later attainment of traditional adult roles by today’s youth compared to their counterparts of earlier decades has garnered considerable scholarly and public attention. This article describes a recent concept related to the transition to adulthood, known as emerging adulthood, including a discussion of relevant theory and historical background research. We then introduce a measurement instrument, the Inventory of the Dimensions of Emerging Ad…

Interviews and self-report measures were completed by 173 boys (Mage = 8.10; 92 Caucasian, 65 African American) and their parents from divorced and non-divorced families. Findings indicated that boys from divorced families had fewer friends, and lower quality friendships, than boys from non-divorced families. Marita…
Preschool Children’s Pretend and Physical Play and Sex of Play Partner
Contextual determinants of mothers' interventions in young children's peer interactions
In this study, the role of context in mothers' interventions in their preschool children's peer relationship problems was investigated. Event theme (aggression, peer rebuff, or initiating play), the child's role in the event (actor or target), the child's age and sex, and the mother's emotional reaction were examined as predictors of the extent to which mothers (N = 71) said they would discuss peer relationships, encourage peer interaction, and u…
