We systematically reviewed responses (<i>N</i> = 180) from parenting studies utilizing two online platforms. Respondents were categorized as accepted (<i>n</i> = 45) or fraudulent (<i>n</i> = 135), and responses on standardized measures were examined to determine if fraudulent scores differed.

The majority of fraudulent responders reported being female (62.1%) and White (80.6%), with average caregiver ages of 37.83 (SD = 7.35) for Qualtrics and 56.16 (SD = 8.86) for REDCap. Fraudulent responders had significantly higher median scores on measures of caregiver distress (<i>r</i><sub>DASS</sub> = 0.21) and child behavioural problems (<i>r</i><sub>CBCL</sub> = 0.33).

However, there is inconsistent evidence regarding how the impact of social exclusion changes with age. This study used the Cyberball paradigm to investigate the effects of exclusion and subsequent inclusion on primary needs (such as belonging, self-esteem, control and meaningful existence) and emotions (including happiness, sadness and anger) in a sample of Chinese school-aged children (163 children aged 6–8, 8–10 and 10–11). The results revealed that children aged 6–8 showed lower susceptibility to ostracism, while threats to primary needs emerged around the ages of 8–10 and persisted until 10–12. Negative effects on moods were evident from the age of 6–8 and intensified with age. Brief inclusion following exclusion was found to effectively restore the primary needs and moods of ostracized children, serving as a reliable intervention for promoting rapid recovery. However, age-related differences were observed in the restorative effects of re-inclusion, with 8- to 10-year-olds benefiting more compared to 10- to 12-year-olds. These findings provide valuable insights for educational institutions seeking to create supportive environments that help children recover from the detrimental effects of ostracism.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Highlights</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 <ul>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Ostracism can be detrimental to the primary needs and moods of school-aged children.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>There are developmental changes in the effects of ostracism on children's primary needs and moods, and 8–10 years old may be a critical period.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Re-inclusion can effectively restore the damaged primary needs and moods of excluded children, but its effect is also age-dependent.</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"33 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140972557","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}

Frequency of SBR was parent-report and quality of SBR (i.e., number of reading strategies) and infants' attention were coded from recorded SBR interactions at home. The majority of mothers and fathers reported reading to their 9-month-olds at least weekly, and mothers reported reading, on average, significantly more often than fathers. There was large variability in parents' SBR quality ranging from 0 to 15 strategies per minute, with labelling being the most common. Path analysis showed that mothers' SBR frequency at 9 months was significantly associated with infants' receptive and expressive language skills at 18 months, whereas, SBR quality by either parent was not significant.
