As Spanish-English DLLs grow in U.S. early childhood education, understanding associations between oral language, literacy, and math across languages has become increasingly important. Research has identified heterogeneity among Spanish-English DLLs in PreK. This study examined within- and cross-language associations between language, literacy, and math among 330 PreK DLLs from a southeastern U.S. state (mean age = 5.09 years; 53% female) using ordinary least squares and quantile regression at the 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75 quantiles. Within-language associations were stronger than cross-language associations. English language showed strong positive associations with English literacy and math across all proficiency levels, slightly attenuating at higher literacy levels. Spanish language showed moderate to strong associations with Spanish literacy, slightly stronger at higher proficiency levels. Spanish language showed moderate to strong associations with Spanish math, strongest at lower proficiency levels. Cross-language associations were smaller. Both Spanish and English language showed stronger cross-language associations with literacy at moderate to higher proficiency levels and nonsignificant at the lowest levels. Spanish language showed small, consistent associations with English math across proficiency levels, while English language showed consistent, positive associations with Spanish math across proficiency levels. These findings underscore that language is associated with early literacy and math skills, with variability across proficiency levels among Spanish-English DLLs. Consistent with the Multilingual Approach to Diversity in Education (MADE) framework, results support differentiated, language-informed instructional strategies integrating language into literacy and math learning across Spanish and English.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 101953"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147802320","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}

The bidirectional psychobiological model conceptualizes self-regulation as comprising interrelated top-down processes (e.g., attentional focusing, inhibitory control) and bottom-up processes (e.g., impulsivity) that jointly shape children's ability to modulate attention, behavior, and emotion. Early caregiving environments, including parents' experiences of daily hassles, could play a critical role in shaping self-regulation development. However, few longitudinal studies have examined the continuity and change of these distinct domains from toddlerhood to early adolescence and recognized how early parenting daily hassles influence such development. The present study used data from the Arizona Twin Project (<em>N</em> = 1325 twins, 665 families; 49.1% female) to examine developmental patterns of attentional focusing, inhibitory control, and impulsivity from toddlerhood through early adolescence. Autoregressive simplex models characterized stability as carryover from one wave to the next, whereas common factor models characterized continuity as a stable latent disposition shared across waves, with age-specific deviations captured separately. Results indicated that attentional focusing and inhibitory control demonstrated moderate stability in early childhood that strengthened across middle childhood and early adolescence. Impulsivity showed moderate stability from toddlerhood to early childhood, followed by strong continuity from middle childhood through early adolescence. Parental daily hassles in toddlerhood predicted lower attentional focusing and inhibitory control and higher impulsivity. Findings reflect both trait-like continuity and state-like change in self-regulation domains, underscoring how self-regulatory capacities consolidate over time while remaining sensitive to early contextual stress.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 101957"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147802321","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}
