Families visited the laboratory at two measurement occasions spaced approximately one year apart. At the first measurement occasion, mothers provided self-reports of their romantic attachment style and participated in three different parent-child interaction tasks.

From these ratings, a coefficient of variation score was used to assess the mother's inconsistent harsh parenting across the three tasks, and we also computed the mean of harsh parenting across the three tasks. Observational ratings of children's anger and distress reactivity were coded from two tasks designed to elicit children's negative emotion. Results of structural equation model analyses revealed that romantic attachment anxiety was associated with inconsistent harsh parenting across the three parenting tasks. In turn, inconsistent harsh parenting was associated with increases in children's anger reactivity one year later. Romantic attachment avoidance was associated with higher average levels of harsh parenting across the parenting tasks.

One objective was to document the distinction between children's personal goals and their expectations of their peers' goals when confronting exclusionary behavior towards a peer with LD. Swiss elementary school children (<i>N</i> = 349, 7-13 years, 48% female) were introduced to a scenario about a classmate with LD who was excluded from a group task. They reasoned whether and why they would intervene and what reactions they expected from the group and the perpetrator. The results showed that the vast majority of children <i>personally</i> intended to intervene, primarily for moral reasons. However, children's expectations about their peers were different. They expected a wide range of responses, including negative group dynamics and LD-stereotypes.

Different scientific disciplines have proposed theories of deviant behavior that often fall short of predicting actual behavior. In this registered report, we used data from the longitudinal National Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) to examine the predictability of juvenile delinquency (Wave I) and adult criminal behavior (Wave V), distinguishing between drug, property, and violent offenses. Comparing the predictive accuracy of traditional regression models with different machine learning algorithms (elastic net regression and gradient boosting machines), we found the elastic net regressions with item-level data performed best. The prediction of juvenile delinquency was relatively accurate for drug offenses (<i>R</i> ² = .57), violent offenses (<i>R</i> ² = .44), and property offenses (<i>R</i> ² = .39), while the performance declined significantly for adult delinquency, with <i>R</i> ² values ranging from .16 to .13. Key predictors of juvenile delinquency versus adult criminal behavior were clearly different from each other. Early risk factors for adult criminal behavior included prior juvenile delinquency, particularly drug-related offenses, sex, and school-related issues such as suspension or expulsion.

When dysregulated and developmentally atypical, irritability indicates neurodevelopmental vulnerability for mental health problems. Yet, mental health risk indicators such as irritability likely present differently during specific developmental stages, especially across the crucial transition from preschool to early school age, when the presence of sustained elevated irritability predicts psychiatric disorders, increased impairment, and service use in school-age children.
