This study investigated Western and East Asian children's trust preferences for informants based on social dominance and its potential association with cultural factors. Sixty-six European American children in the United States (M = 5.44 years, SD = 0.80 years) and 69 Han Chinese children in China (M = 5.42 years, SD = 0.73 years) were introduced to a dominant puppet with decision-making power over a subordinate puppet. The puppets provided conflicting explanations about novel tools, and children indicated whose explanations they trusted. Both American and Chinese children preferred to trust the dominant puppet over the subordinate puppet. Although Chinese parents exhibited higher levels of authoritarianism compared to European American parents, this cultural difference was not significantly associated with children's trust preferences for the dominant informant. This research enriches our understanding of how informants' social power influences children's learning process across diverse cultures.","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"34 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/icd.70023","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143944935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sometimes they engage in physical tasks that involve risk, requiring them to judge the safety of how to negotiate the environment safely. Individual differences in children's age, sex, physical size, and personality may impact those decisions. We used fully immersive virtual reality to assess 7–10-year-olds' (n = 393; mean age = 8.8 years, SD = 0.8; 50% female) behaviour while stepping across rocks to cross a simulated river. Children's self-reported thrill and intensity seeking (TIS) personality was also collected. Three outcomes were considered: rocks stepped on, time evaluating the crossing, and time crossing. On average, children used 5 of 7 rocks, spent 7.8 s assessing, and 18.7 s crossing, with substantial individual variations. Taller children crossed using fewer rocks, but this association was subsumed in multivariable models by male gender and higher TIS personality (e.g., β = −5.2 and −2.6, respectively, predicting crossing time). Results have implications for child development theory, injury prevention, playground design, and parenting decisions.","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"34 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/icd.70020","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143930374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We created developmentally appropriate stories and games for children, based on training methods that improve adults' sickness perception. We hypothesise that children randomly assigned to engage in the disease-prime training will, like adults, display more accurate sick face perception compared to participants in a control condition. If children do show improvements, this would suggest that their sickness perception is malleable. In contrast, if they do not show improvements, this may suggest an increase in malleability with age.

Recent advances in eye-tracking technology allow researchers to leverage this tool to measure young children's strategies for solving cognitive tasks. The current study focuses on young children's mental rotation ability given its reported links to academic achievement in science, mathematics, and language arts. We explore the cognitive strategies employed by 3- to 7-year-olds using eye-tracking when they are solving mental rotation tasks. Prior literature shows participants use two types of cognitive strategies: holistic and piecemeal. Holistic involves the rotation of an object as a single entity, and piecemeal entails the rotation of an object by its individual components. Our final sample consisted of 148 three- to seven-year-old children (68 girls) from a local science museum. Participants completed a mental rotation task while having an eye-tracker record their eye movements. By using this data-driven approach, we identified how young children solve these tasks. Specifically, latent profile analysis using eye-tracking data revealed two distinct classes among the participants. Class 1, employing a holistic strategy, exhibited fewer visit and fixation counts and shorter visit durations. Class 2, employing a piecemeal strategy, demonstrated more visit and fixation counts along with greater visit durations. These findings show value in optimising eye-tracking technological advances to understand children's cognition and the efficacy of eye-tracking data in identifying how children approach and solve a mental rotation task.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"34 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143914018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examined the auditory event-related potentials generated by two groups of 3- to 5-year-old children (total N = 32; 14 male, 18 female; mean age = 49.6 months, SD = 6.0 months), in response to known and unknown non-native language words. The ‘known’ word stimuli were previously exposed to the children via either the ELLA language immersion applications (‘ELLA’ group) or flash cards (‘FLASH’ group). Electroencephalography data were analysed within early (200–300 ms) and late (400–600 and 600–800 ms) time-windows, to determine the main and interaction effects of group (ELLA vs. FLASH) and condition (KNOWN vs. UNKNOWN). We found that the early positive potential (of both groups) for the known words was significantly larger than that for the unknown words. Further, the early negative potential of the apps group was significantly larger than that of the flash card group.

Madresposa is grounded in marianismo, a cultural script that idealises the Virgin Mary as the ultimate model of womanhood—virtuous, self-sacrificing, and devoted to her family. Scholars have almost exclusively focused on mothering ideologies across the minority world, underscoring how women differentially embody motherhood based on ethnicity/race, class, sexuality and family structure. Yet, despite its prevalence in Mexican society, madresposa has been largely unexamined in research. In this study, we asked: How do Mexican women negotiate madresposa in a societal context characterised by patriarchy? We used a semi-structured interview approach with Mexican women (N = 27, Mage = 32.30), most of whom live in central Mexico, to gather insights about their perspectives on motherhood. Using thematic analysis, which included both semantic and latent approaches of coding, we identified three key ways that women both upheld and resisted the pressures to embody the madresposa: they negotiated (1) labour; (2) self-sacrifice and (3) affect. We situate our findings within the patriarchal contexts of Mexico. Our study advances existing research by expanding knowledge on mothering ideologies beyond the minority world contexts, bringing into focus the unique ways that mothering ideology is configured in Mexico.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"34 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143888944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Families' difficulty finding new care is complicated by the shortages of convenient, affordable and quality childcare in the United States. Using online surveys, we gathered data from parents whose children received multiple behavioural warnings from early education programmes (N = 218). Parents completed retrospective survey questions about their perceptions of each care arrangement's quality, accessibility and affordability. Half of the children were formally or informally expelled for their behaviour, while the other half were retained or left for reasons other than behaviour (e.g., graduating to kindergarten). Children were mostly male (65.6%), White (77.98%) and 42.66% had a diagnosed or suspected disability. This exploratory report describes the differential perceptions and experiences of families excluded from and retained by early education programmes following behavioural incidents. Results show that, for the most part, parents perceived subsequent programmes as relatively equivalent. However, nearly a quarter of excluded children did not attend a subsequent programme, and 10% were excluded more than two times before kindergarten entry. Findings are discussed in light of the broader research on early childhood exclusionary discipline.","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"34 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/icd.70013","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143836086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
