In particular, it remains unclear (1) how early conflictual relationships with significant adults and children's cognitive capacities contribute to later HAB, and (2) whether these pathways differ by gender. The present study addressed these gaps in a longitudinal sample of 279 Arab and Jewish children (138 girls; 106 Arabs; 173 Jews), assessed in early (Mage = 5.7, SD = 0.53; range: 4.3-7.0) and late (Mage = 10.6, SD = 0.86, range: 9.0-12.75 years) childhood. Mother- and teacher-child conflict, executive functions (EFs), and early HAB were assessed in early childhood and HAB was assessed in late childhood. Multi-group analyses revealed gender-differentiated pathways: among boys, one EF (cognitive flexibility) predicted lower HAB (β = -0.24); among girls, higher teacher-child conflict predicted higher HAB (β = 0.36). These findings refine social information processing theory by showing that relational inputs to children's social database are ecologically specific and that the balance between relational and cognitive pathways to HAB is gender-differentiated.","PeriodicalId":11265,"journal":{"name":"Development and Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":"2134-2145"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149037015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, less is known about heterogeneity in preschool children's changes in internalizing and externalizing symptoms from before to during the pandemic and about how pandemic-related family disruptions predicted these transitions. This study examined symptom transitions among 2,601 preschool children from the Singapore Longitudinal Early Development Study, using pre-pandemic data from 2018-2019 and during-pandemic data from 2021 (M age = 4.92 years, SD = 1.18; 50.17% girls). Latent profile analysis identified three groups at both waves: low, mild, and severe symptoms. Random intercept latent transition analysis revealed four transition patterns: stable low symptoms (63.40%), worsening symptoms (22.30%), stable mild symptoms (6.23%), and improved symptoms (7.73%). Compared with the stable low symptoms group, older children and those from families negatively impacted by the pandemic in work and family function were more likely to experience stable mild or worsening symptoms. Ethnic differences were also observed, and pandemic-related financial stress was associated with both worsening and improved symptom patterns. These findings highlight heterogeneous symptom transitions among preschool children and underscore the importance of considering demographic characteristics and family-level disruptions when supporting children's mental health following large-scale crises.","PeriodicalId":11265,"journal":{"name":"Development and Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149080135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Brain network analysis evaluated functional connectivity across reward and executive networks. Results revealed a decline across all BAS subscales at Year 2 compared to Baseline, with more pronounced reductions in BAS Drive among those assessed during the pandemic. Network analysis showed cohesive executive but variable reward network changes, especially in the right hemisphere. Developmental changes in reward sensitivity were accompanied by shifts in activation in core reward regions (e.g., nucleus accumbens, caudate, putamen, thalamus), which also varied by age and sex.

Higher levels of social withdrawal consistently predicted lower likelihood of having achieved these milestones by age 29 (median OR = 0.76 in both cohorts), even after controlling for peer victimization, cognitive abilities, and family background measured in early adolescence. These effects were consistent across cohorts and gender. Sensitivity analyses that accounted for genetic confounding and clinical conditions (e.g., autism, depression) further supported the findings.

Altered perceptions due to cognitive maturation and puberty may make adolescents particularly attuned to deviations in the stability of the family system. Moreover, their involvement in parents' conflicts may further amplify their vulnerability to these stressful environmental experiences and increase their likelihood of depression. Therefore, perceived family instability, involvement in interparental conflict, and depressive symptoms were examined in 296 adolescents (50.3% female, mostly White) across three annual waves starting at age 13 years. Using autoregressive latent trajectory modeling, between-person results showed that adolescents with higher initial levels of perceived family instability tended to show higher initial depression levels, and some adolescents' involvement in their parents' disputes increased faster than others over this three-year period. Within-person results indicated that adolescents experiencing higher-than-usual perceived family instability at age 14 exhibited significantly higher depressive symptoms at age 15, pointing to the unfolding emotional cost of instability for early-to-middle adolescents. Findings emphasize modeling enduring vulnerabilities and intra-individual fluctuations in family and emotional processes during adolescence.","PeriodicalId":11265,"journal":{"name":"Development and Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149080153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given that recent research has extended PTPs' application from externalizing difficulties to internalizing symptoms - problem domains that frequently overlap in children - evaluating their effects together can clarify PTPs' broader impact. This meta-analysis synthesized findings from 34 randomized controlled trials involving children aged 3-12 years to examine the efficacy of PTPs and identify factors influencing treatment outcomes. Across studies, PTPs significantly reduced both internalizing (g = 0.28) and externalizing (g = 0.37) problems, yielding effect sizes comparable to those reported in prior parent training research. Importantly, PTPs also demonstrated significant cross-domain effects, indicating that programs targeting externalizing problems may also reduce internalizing problems, and vice versa. Moderator analyses indicated that only children's clinical diagnoses significantly predicted externalizing outcomes. These findings suggest that PTPs may be implemented flexibly across varying delivery conditions. Despite small overall effects, heterogeneity, and publication bias, the findings support the effectiveness and adaptability of PTPs. Future research should employ mechanism-informed, scalable designs to enhance accessibility and optimize treatment efficiency.","PeriodicalId":11265,"journal":{"name":"Development and Psychopathology","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149016102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
