Elevated parenting stress during the pandemic was further associated with significant increases in child fussiness/defiance and fear/anxiety behaviors. In addition, parental unemployment had a direct negative effect on children's fussiness/defiance behaviors. Structural Topic Modeling (Roberts, 2019) discerned 11 themes from open-ended survey responses provided in English on what was challenging for Latine mothers and their families. Four topics– cost of basic needs (food), disrupted family life and social isolation, struggles with emotional distress, and lack of childcare/early intervention services –were significant predictors of parenting stress, which was linked to significant increases in children's emotional distress. Universal and targeted strategies to promote resilience for Latine children are discussed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 101873"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145106997","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 found that children selectively trusted (and distrusted) voice assistants and robots based on their past accuracy, while they demonstrated a general trust in humans, even when the humans were previously inaccurate. Agency beliefs explained variations in children's trust of voice assistants and humans. We also observed developmental differences in children's levels of trust and distrust toward both accurate and inaccurate informants. These findings suggest that 3–4-year-olds engage in both epistemic and social considerations in selective trust, and their judgments are susceptible to the agentic features of informants.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 101872"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145061044","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}

Therefore, we analyzed data of 569,731 students (aged 4 to 18 years) across 55 studies through three-level meta-analyses and a narrative synthesis. The average prevalence rate for a single ACE among students with EBD was estimated to be 29.90 %. The prevalence varied by type of ACE, with neighborhood violence being the least prevalent at 4.26 % and maltreatment the most prevalent at over 40 %. There were no differences in prevalence rates between gender, age, ACE informants, and the use of special education services for EBD. We only found five studies on cumulative ACE numbers among students with EBD, which indicates another significant gap in knowledge. Our findings indicate that ACEs are significant environmental factors that contribute to the understanding of EBD in students within a biodevelopmental framework. Further research is necessary to investigate how the number, type, and timing of ACEs impact these students. Trauma-informed approaches have the potential to substantially improve outcomes for students with EBD by promoting ACE awareness and integrating this knowledge into educational policies, procedures, and practices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 101871"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145027541","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}

A growing body of research seeks to further explore these factors, how they influence young people, and how they might be undercut to interrupt existing cycles of inequity. This special issue highlights several contemporary examples of this research, across various learning contexts to explore (1) how young people's STEM or other professional identities develop, (2) how professional identities can be shaped by social interventions, and (3) how this might look across developmental levels (specifically middle school through post secondary programming). Additionally, as a result of many of the studies in this special issue employing qualitative or mixed methodology, the corpus of literature offered explores not only whether identity development occurs and/or interest in STEM is sparked, but also how and under what conditions that might happen. The identification of these mechanisms is essential for applying developmental science in action to address barriers to, and shift trajectories for, a skilled STEM workforce inclusive of individuals from historically underrepresented groups.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 101857"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145011137","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 parenting plays a role in developing these skills, the bidirectional relationships between parenting behavior and emotion regulation over time, particularly involving fathers and neurodivergent children, remain underexplored. This study examined parent-driven and child-driven effects between parenting (warmth, laxness, and overreactivity) and child emotion regulation across four time points in 143 children (52.4 % female) from age 3 to 6, with child gender and family income as covariates. Using four-wave random intercept cross-lagged panel models (RI-CLPM), we conducted separate analyses for mothers and fathers. Initial findings indicated that maternal warmth at age 3 predicted better emotion regulation at age 4, while paternal overreactivity at age 5 predicted worse emotion regulation at age 6. In moderated models, both parent-driven and child-driven effects emerged, varying by children's autistic traits. Among children with higher autistic traits, maternal warmth at age 3 and maternal laxness at age 4 strongly predicted different patterns of emotion regulation. Among children with lower autistic traits, emotion regulation at age 3 predicted higher maternal warmth at age 4. These findings highlight the significance of positive parenting in promoting emotion regulation, especially for children with higher autistic traits. In turn, they also emphasize the role of strong emotion regulation in encouraging positive parenting, particularly for children with lower autistic traits. These findings suggest that interventions should aim to enhance both parenting strategies and children's emotion regulation skills.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology","volume":"100 ","pages":"Article 101860"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144920173","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}
