The mothers and teachers of 911 children (62.7% boys) completed questionnaires in Grades 1, 2, 3, and 4. A Random Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel Model (RI-CLPM) showed that behavior problems in Grade 2 predicted an increase in parental solicitation in Grade 3.

Participants (148 monozygotic [MZ] and 227 dizygotic [DZ] twin pairs; 56% girls) reported on their peer victimization and social support from the mother, father, and best friend from ages 12 through 17. At age 19, they reported on victimization in college, at work, and in romantic relationships and provided a hair sample for cortisol measurement. Growth mixture modeling identified three victimization trajectories: low (34%), moderate (55%), and high (11%). Biometric modeling showed that a high trajectory of peer victimization in adolescence predicted lower cortisol levels compared with a low trajectory, but only at very low levels of friends’ support. Parental support did not moderate this association and no sex moderation was found. These results highlight not only the potential disruptive influence of chronic peer victimization on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis functioning but also the buffering role of friendship when facing such adverse social experiences.","PeriodicalId":13880,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Behavioral Development","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142257546","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}

While the method moved into the academic and clinical mainstream some 35 years ago, their applicability to “non-Western” contexts remains little understood. This synthesis comprises 31 NSST studies of samples from parts of Africa, East Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, and from US and UK ethnocultural minoritized backgrounds. In the reviewed studies, three specific NSSTs dominated, story stems were used most to evaluate attachment, and some were clinically focused. However, there was also a strong cultural focus and over half of samples were socioeconomically disadvantaged. Studies revealed both universal and culturally specific features of NSSTs. Attachment distributions were as expected, given the high clinical risk in pooled samples (49% secure, 19% avoidant, 12% ambivalent, 20% disorganized), including by clinical and socioeconomic risk status. Gender differences were similar to “Western” findings. However, the growing evidence for convergent validity across cultural groups is tempered by low reporting of psychometrics. Narratives may sometimes reflect children’s unintended interpretations of the task and therefore not activate internal representations, or may reflect reality but lack equivalent meaning in coding schemes. We discuss how researchers and clinicians can enhance the validity of NSSTs by considering the role of culture in the sense-making process. Pending further validation work, NSSTs have the added potential to give a voice to young children from underrepresented backgrounds.","PeriodicalId":13880,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Behavioral Development","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142207084","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}

We thus evaluate the psychometric properties of the SBQ-ADHD as administered in adulthood (ages 20 and 24) to a large normative sample, as well as the cross-informant (parent-teacher-self-reports) and developmental (ages 7–24) measurement invariance of a core SBQ-ADHD item set. Results support score internal consistency reliability, gender measurement invariance, and criterion validity. Scores from the core item set showed some evidence of non-invariance, providing insights into how ADHD symptoms may manifest and/or be perceived differently by different informants/in different contexts and at different ages. Our findings overall support the use of the SBQ-ADHD items for developmental studies of ADHD symptoms from childhood to adulthood.","PeriodicalId":13880,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Behavioral Development","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142207087","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}

Associations between these three safety practices and parental beliefs (protectiveness needed, perceived benefits of the child experiencing minor injuries) were examined, as was the effectiveness of these three practices to prevent injury. Results revealed that different parental beliefs were associated with implementing different safety strategies at each motor development stage. Strategies were differentially effective depending on mobility status of the infant, with supervision being the only strategy that was effective to prevent injury at both motor development stages.

A picture-drawing task, in which a child draws himself or herself and a peer, is a potentially valid way to measure a child’s feelings of affiliation toward the peer. In this study, we established the validity of the picture-drawing task by testing two hypotheses: whether a child’s higher affiliation toward a peer would relate to a shorter distance between the drawn child and the drawn peer (Hypothesis a) and whether the child’s temporal variation of affiliation would relate to a change in the distance between two drawn figures across two time points (Hypothesis b). Forty-five children aged 3 to 6 attending the same nursery school in Japan drew pictures of themselves and a schoolmate. To determine who would draw whom in the picture-drawing task, we conducted a friend-nomination task and used social network analyses with such data to compute each child’s degree of affiliation toward every schoolmate. The analyses supported both hypotheses: the distance in the drawing was shorter when the children drew a high-affiliation peer than a low-affiliation peer, and the distance in the picture became longer as the child’s affiliation toward a peer decreased over time. Our results strengthen the validity of the picture-drawing task for measuring children’s affiliation toward a peer.","PeriodicalId":13880,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Behavioral Development","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141872127","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}

Results from latent growth curve modeling ( N = 619, 65.3% women, ages 26–34), using the longitudinal data from three time points (2013–2020), showed that the trajectory of job burnout was decreasing in early career years, and this pattern did not vary between genders. As expected, women scored higher in job burnout. Gender differences in job resources were found: parenthood status only prevented job burnout for women, whereas income and partner support only prevented job burnout for men. Belongingness to the workplace prevented job burnout for both genders. Findings suggest that young adults make use of job resources from their socialization in early career years and experience a decreasing pattern of job burnout. The current gender gap in job burnout may be explained by gender differences in socialization and roles in early career transitions.","PeriodicalId":13880,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Behavioral Development","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141775644","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}
