The relationship between sleep and problematic smartphone use among adolescents: A systematic review
Publication date: March 2020Source: Developmental Review, Volume 55Author(s): Saoirse Mac Cárthaigh, Claire Griffin, John PerryAbstractObtaining sufficient sleep is a protective factor against mental and physical ill-health. However, evidence suggests that, among adolescents, the proliferation of mobile devices has contributed to a decline in sleep quality and duration over the past few decades. There is a paucity of research on the relationship between sleep and problematic smartphone use. Of the studies which have researched this association, all have relied on homogeneous samples within specific cultural contexts. Ther...

A dual-process perspective on over-imitation
Publication date: March 2020Source: Developmental Review, Volume 55Author(s): Hanna Schleihauf, Stefanie HoehlAbstractChildren and adults tend to imitate actions that are causally irrelevant to accomplishing a goal; they “over-imitate.” It has been discussed that humans over-imitate either because of erroneous causal reasoning, meaning that they do not recognize demonstrated actions as being irrelevant, or because of social motivation, for example, because they want to follow a norm or affiliate with the demonstrator. Recent findings give reason to believe that neither of these accounts alone is sufficient to explain t...

From mind to picture: A systematic review on children’s and adolescents’ understanding of the link between artists and pictures
Publication date: March 2020Source: Developmental Review, Volume 55Author(s): Romina A. Vivaldi, Richard P. Jolley, Sarah E. RoseAbstractPictorial symbols have multiple layers of meaning: not only do they represent objects, events and ideas about the world, they also represent the intentions of artists as well as other artist attributes (age, skill, originality and knowledge, mood, style and sentience). Although children’s developmental milestones of pictorial understanding have been extensively studied, their understanding of the relation between artists and pictures has often been neglected. The aim of this article was...

Trait social anxiety as a conditional adaptation: A developmental and evolutionary framework
Publication date: March 2020Source: Developmental Review, Volume 55Author(s): Tara A. Karasewich, Valerie A. KuhlmeierAbstractIndividuals with trait social anxiety are disposed to be wary of others. Although feeling social anxiety is unpleasant, evolutionary psychologists consider it to be an adaptation. In current models, social anxiety is described as functioning to have helped our prehistoric ancestors avoid social threat by warning individuals when their interactions with other group members were likely to be negative and motivating them to act in ways to prevent conflict or limit its damage. Thus, trait social anxiety...

Does attachment security predict children’s thinking-about-thinking and thinking-about-feeling? A meta-analytic review
Publication date: December 2019Source: Developmental Review, Volume 54Author(s): Moniek A.J. Zeegers, Elizabeth Meins, Geert-Jan J.M. Stams, Susan M. Bögels, Cristina ColonnesiAbstractPrevious research presents no clear picture of the association between caregiver–child attachment and the two hallmarks of children’s mentalizing abilities: false-belief understanding (FBU) and emotion understanding (EU). The present meta-analytic study investigated four questions: (a) what is the pooled correlation between attachment and children’s mentalizing abilities, as indicated by FBU and EU?; (b) are there differences in the ma...
