The Reciprocal Relations Between Female and Male Play Partners and Aggression in Early Childhood
This study examined the relations between male and female play partners (PP) and relational (RA) and physical (PA) aggression in an early childhood short ‐term longitudinal study (N = 164,Mage = 47.11 months,SD = 7.37 months). A cross‐lagged path analysis was used to examine these relations from Time 1 (T1) to Time 2 (T2), 4 months after T1, and a multiple group analysis was tested across gender. Results showed that T1 male PP predicted an increase in PA, T1 RA predicted an increase in female PP, an d T1 PA predicted a decrease in female PP. One path was not equivalent across gender. A post hoc interaction bet...

Prenatal Maternal Stress and Child IQ
This study tested the association between maternal prenatal stress and child intelligence in 4,251 mother –child dyads from a multiethnic population‐based cohort in the Netherlands. A latent factor of prenatal stress was constructed, and child IQ was tested at age 6 years. In Dutch and Caribbean participants, prenatal stress was not associated with child IQ after adjustment for maternal IQ and soci oeconomic status. In other ethnicities no association was found; only in the Moroccan/Turkish group a small negative association between prenatal stress and child IQ was observed. These results suggest that prenatal stress ...

Do Children Distinguish Between Resource Inequalities With Individual Versus Structural Origins?
This study investigated children's ability to distinguish between resource inequalities with individual versus structural origins. Children (3 ‐ to 8‐years‐old;N  = 93) were presented with resource inequalities based on either recipients ’ merit (individual factor) or gender (structural factor). Children were assessed on their expectations for others’ allocations, own allocations, reasoning, and evaluations of others’ allocations. Children perpetuated merit‐based inequalities and either rectified or allocated equally in resp onse to gender‐based inequalities. Older, but not younger, children expected othe...

The Relation Between Callous ‐Unemotional Traits, Psychosocial Maturity, and Delinquent Behavior Among Justice‐Involved Youth
Callous ‐unemotional (CU) traits are a risk factor for severe and persistent patterns of juvenile delinquency. Given the influence of CU trait assessments in justice‐system settings, it is important to determine whether the predictive utility of CU traits is conditional on the absence of protective psyc hosocial factors. Employing a sample of justice‐involved male youth (N  = 1,216,Mage = 15.29), this study examined whether psychosocial maturity (PSM) outweighs or attenuates the effect of CU traits on delinquency. Results indicated that youth with high CU traits or low PSM offended more during the year following ...

Self ‐Reported Moral Emotions and Physical and Relational Aggression in Early Childhood: A Social Domain Approach
This study examined discrepancies between 4 ‐ and 7‐year‐olds’ (n  = 135;Mage = 5.65) self ‐reported affect following hypothetical moral versus social‐conventional transgressions and their associations with teacher‐rated physical and relational aggression concurrently and 9‐months later. Negative emotion ratings in response to prototypical moral transgressions were not associated with children's aggression. When transgressions were described as no longer prohibited by rules and authority figures, children reporting more negative affect in response to moral as compared to conventional violations were les...

Prevention: Necessary But Insufficient? A 2 ‐Year Follow‐Up of an Effective First‐Grade Mathematics Intervention
We present first ‐grade, second‐grade, and third‐grade impacts for a first‐grade intervention targeting the conceptual and procedural bases that support arithmetic. At‐risk students (average age at pretest = 6.5) were randomly assigned to three conditions: a control group (n = 224) and two variants of the intervention (same conceptual instruction but different forms of practice: speeded [n = 211] vs. nonspeeded [n = 204]). Impacts on all first‐grade content outcomes were significant and positive, but no follow‐up impacts were significant. Many intervention children achieved average mathematics achieve...
