Specific maternal brain responses to their own child’s face: An fMRI meta-analysis
Publication date: March 2019Source: Developmental Review, Volume 51Author(s): Paola Rigo, Pilyoung Kim, Gianluca Esposito, Diane L. Putnick, Paola Venuti, Marc H. BornsteinAbstractHow special is her own child to a mother? Research that has focused on mothers’ brain responses to their own child has revealed the involvement of multiple subcortical and cortical brain regions, but less is known about which brain regions are systematically activated across these studies. This meta-analysis aims to identify specific neural regions associated with “own child” compared to “other child”. To ensure the consistency of the t...

Threat-related attention bias in socioemotional development: A critical review and methodological considerations
Publication date: March 2019Source: Developmental Review, Volume 51Author(s): Xiaoxue Fu, Koraly Pérez-EdgarAbstractCross-sectional evidence suggests that attention bias to threat is linked to anxiety disorders and anxiety vulnerability in both children and adults. However, there is a lack of developmental evidence regarding the causal mechanisms through which attention bias to threat might convey risks for socioemotional problems, such as anxiety. Gaining insights into this question demands longitudinal research to track the complex interplay between threat-related attention and socioemotional functioning. Developing and...

Autonomic nervous system functioning assessed during the still-face paradigm: A meta-analysis and systematic review of methods, approach and findings
Publication date: Available online 24 September 2018Source: Developmental ReviewAuthor(s): Karen Jones-Mason, Abbey Alkon, Michael Coccia, Nicole R. BushAbstractAnimal and human research suggests that the development of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is particularly sensitive to early parenting experiences. The Still-Face Paradigm (SFP), one of the most widely used measures to assess infant reactivity and emotional competence, evokes infant self-regulatory responses to parental interaction and disengagement. This systematic review of 33 peer-reviewed studies identifies patterns of parasympathetic (PNS) and sympathetic ...

A conceptual framework for studying COntext Dynamics in Aging (CODA)
Publication date: Available online 26 September 2018Source: Developmental ReviewAuthor(s): Hans-Werner Wahl, Denis GerstorfAbstractResearch on the role of how individual functioning and development are contextually embedded has a long and rich tradition in a variety of disciplines. However, the multitude of different contexts that shape adult development and aging are not well understood as are the processes by which these contexts operate. We propose a conceptual framework to combine, organize, and integrate the so far often isolated bodies of conceptual perspectives and empirical insights gained in contextual aging scien...

Peer influence in the development of adolescent antisocial behavior: Advances from dynamic social network studies
Publication date: Available online 31 August 2018Source: Developmental ReviewAuthor(s): Jelle J. Sijtsema, Siegwart M. LindenbergAbstractIn adolescence, peer influences are important in the development of antisocial behavior. Previous empirical work has often focused on peer similarity to make claims about peer influence. However, peer similarity can be the result of both peer selection and influence, or general social network processes, such as reciprocity (preference for mutual friendships) and transitivity (preference for becoming friends with the friends of one’s friend). Empirically, it is often difficult to separat...

SES disparities in early math abilities: The contributions of parents’ math cognitions, practices to support math, and math talk
Publication date: Available online 14 August 2018Source: Developmental ReviewAuthor(s): Leanne Elliott, Heather J. BachmanAbstractSES disparities in early math achievement are large and persistent across development and yet relatively understudied. Given the early emergence of these gaps, it is unlikely that school factors can explain why low-SES children tend to start school behind their peers in math skills. Rather, we argue that characteristics of parents, including their beliefs about math, their practices to support math, and their language about math concepts, mediate the observed associations between SES and math le...

Does peer victimization predict low self-esteem, or does low self-esteem predict peer victimization? Meta-analyses on longitudinal studies
Publication date: Available online 1 August 2018Source: Developmental ReviewAuthor(s): Mitch van Geel, Anouk Goemans, Wendy Zwaanswijk, Gianluca Gini, Paul VedderAbstractIn the current study two meta-analyses are performed on longitudinal studies on peer victimization and self-esteem. The goal of these meta-analyses was to analyze whether a low self-esteem predicts future peer victimization, or whether peer victimization predicts future low self-esteem. The databases PsycINFO, MEDLINE, and ERIC were searched for relevant literature. Two authors independently went through the retrieved articles and found four doctoral disse...

Parenting and socioemotional development in infancy and early childhood
Publication date: Available online 30 July 2018Source: Developmental ReviewAuthor(s): Heidi KellerAbstractThis paper is based in a conception of culture that is rooted in contextual/demographic parameters. It is argued that the degree of formal education is influencing the age of first parenthood, the number of children and family composition. Particular norms and values as well as behavioral conventions are related to the socio demographic milieus. Socialization goals, parenting beliefs and parenting behaviors are framed by these cultural models. Two prototypical cultural models, psychological autonomy with psychological ...

“If you really love me, you will do/be…”: Parental psychological control and its implications for children's adjustment
Publication date: Available online 20 July 2018Source: Developmental ReviewAuthor(s): Miri Scharf, Limor GoldnerAbstractParental psychological control (PPC) involves attempts to control the child through psychological tactics that invalidate the child's sense of self, and has adverse effects across cultural contexts. PPC restricts and violates children's basic needs for security, closeness and relatedness, and competence and autonomy, and it disrupts the autonomy–connection balance. Because of PPC’s harmful effects, it is important to understand and study its precursors, the circumstances and contexts that might intens...
