There are very few studies establishing whether children recognize moral hypocrisy and if it impacts their moral judgment. We ran three studies with preschoolers aged 4 to 6 years on whether children recognize moral hypocrisy and how children assess moral hypocrisy. In Studies 2 and 3, we also tested false-signaling theory as an explanation of the more negative assessments of moral hypocrites. In Study 1 (<i>N</i> = 133), we showed that children indeed assess moral hypocrites more negatively than nonhypocritical moral transgressors. In Study 2 (<i>N</i> = 115), we initially demonstrated that the assessment of moral hypocrites results from their inconsistency between words and deeds. Study 3 (<i>N</i> = 159) replicated the results of Studies 1 and 2 and, by excluding an alternative explanation, explained that moral hypocrites are perceived as less moral and liked less due to the false signals that they send.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48392,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Science","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142477970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using longitudinal data from the Millennium Cohort Study, we investigated the effects of grandparental support across development in children with and without adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Socio-emotional development was assessed with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire when children were aged 3 years (&lt;i&gt;N&lt;/i&gt; = 10,186), 5 years (&lt;i&gt;N&lt;/i&gt; = 10,412) and 7 years (&lt;i&gt;N&lt;/i&gt; = 10,551). Parent-reported grandparental childcare, coresidence and financial help were assessed and parents reported on the occurrence of five ACEs: physical and emotional abuse assessed with the Straus’ Conflict Tactics Scale, parental mental illness assessed with the Kessler scale, domestic violence and parental separation. We found that children with relatively higher levels of ACEs showed more prosocial behaviour and less externalizing problems when they received grandparental care compared to non-grandparental (in)formal care, but only at age 3. By age 7, children with higher levels of ACEs receiving grandparental care showed less prosocial behaviour and more externalizing problems. In addition, grandparental financial support at age 3 was related to more externalizing problems. Post-hoc analyses showed that internalizing and externalizing behaviours at age 5 were related to an increased probability of grandparental childcare at age 7, indicating that children's socio-emotional problems trigger grandparental support. Our findings point to a protective effect of grandparental care on children's socio-emotional development at age 3. Our results highlight the importance of going beyond the nuclear family towards the impact of the wider family network when examining children's socio-emotional development.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Research Highlights&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;div&gt;\u0000 &lt;ul&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;li&gt;Three-year-old children with high levels of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) show more prosocial behaviour and less externalizing behaviour when they receive grandparental care.&lt;/li&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;li&gt;Grandparental care has therefore protective effects on young children's socio-emotional development in the context of family adversity.&lt;/li&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;li&gt;Grandparents respond to children's socio-emotional problems and family adversity by increasing financial support and involvement in care.&lt;/li&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;li&gt;These findings underscore the importance of going beyond the nuclear family towards the impact of the wider family network when examining children's socio-emotional ","PeriodicalId":48392,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Science","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/desc.13577","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142477968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although in prior work these parenting behaviors were frequently combined, or subsumed under a single global construct, such as “sensitive responsiveness”, the three forms of parenting are theoretically distinct.

The current meta-analysis quantifies the effect of selective informing and teaching in 2–7-year-olds by examining the relationship between the helpfulness of the information and the frequency of information transmission. Through a systematic search that yielded 1483 results, 28 studies (104 effect sizes, <i>N</i> = 2716) met the inclusion criteria. Using robust variance estimation, we found a medium average effect, Hedges’ <i>g</i> = 0.578, 95% CI (0.331, 0.825), suggesting that children selectively share information based on its perceived helpfulness to the listener. Moderator analyses revealed that age and communicative context were significant factors. Children were more informative in their communication when asked to teach compared to other, nonpedagogical prompts. This finding supports and extends natural pedagogy theory—young children not only interpret pedagogical information differently than information acquired through other means, but they are more selective in their informing when teaching. Additionally, we observed a key developmental progression at age 4. Four- to 7-year-olds, but not 2–3-year-olds, selectively shared information that was most helpful for a given learner. This coincides with the development of false-belief understanding, which undergoes significant development at around age 4. Taken together, the present synthesis suggests that young children actively engage in selective social learning from both sides, that of beneficiaries and benefactors of valuable information.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48392,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Science","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142394262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Timescales of Rational Inattention","authors":"Nivedita Mani","doi":"10.1111/desc.13571","DOIUrl":"10.1111/desc.13571","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;To reconcile previously reported differences in information-seeking behaviour displayed by neurodivergent children and their neurotypical peers, Jones et al. (&lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;) present a compelling new theory of rational information-seeking behaviour. The central premise of rational inattention is that optimal information-seeking behaviour may centre around learning to disengage from imprecise sources, that is, sources where information gain is expected to be low and imprecise. Thus, children with dyslexia may, over time, selectively disengage from further processing of text, which past experience has taught them provides minimal information gain. Neurotypical children who have experienced greater information gain from text sources, however, may persevere and attend to such sources proportionately in the future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rational inattention has critical bridges to previous rational accounts of curiosity, where the rational agent aims to maximise information gain by &lt;i&gt;attending&lt;/i&gt; to sources that maximally increase the usefulness of their knowledge (e.g., Dubey and Griffiths &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;). These links to previous accounts of curiosity are worth considering in greater detail towards a unified account of information-seeking behaviour. In particular, in reconciling these accounts, one question worth pursuing is the relationship between rational attention—as characterised by rational accounts of curiosity—and rational inattention. Is rational attention the flip side of rational inattention or are different factors likely to impact the sources children choose to attend to in the search for information gain and the sources children disengage from over time. My suspicion is that at least a partial answer to this question may lie in paying closer attention (pun unintended) to two timescales of rational inattention, in particular, the real-time and the developmental timescale of rational inattention (cf. McMurray &lt;span&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let us first consider the timescale of real-time processing in the proposed model. The model suggests that some reconstruction of the input is produced regardless of the precision of this reconstruction in the initial stages of processing (see Figure 1). Thus, even input that is later evaluated as imprecise is included in the early processing stages. The error between the input and the imprecise reconstruction is downweighted, retrospectively, based on the learner's experience with such stimuli (e.g., see Schütte, Mani, and Behne &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;, for evidence of such retrospective selective learning in young children). This is where rational inattention comes in. Indeed, the early reconstruction of all input is the reason why a clamped model—without such retrospective downweighting—shows improved learning from even imprecise input. Here, rational attention and rational inattention may be seen as flip sides of the same coin with the input being retrospectively weighted in essentially the same way to allow attent","PeriodicalId":48392,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Science","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/desc.13571","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142394325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gender is a particularly interesting case to study because it is a strong dimension of social identity, but also one of the most prevalent forms of social hierarchy, with males conceptualised as superior to females, by adults and children alike. Here we directly asked how children's social preferences are influenced by status (winner or loser of a zero-sum conflict) and winner gender (female or male) in different scenarios (same or mixed-gender). In Experiment 1, children saw same-gender conflicts between two females or two males and they displayed an overall preference for winners. In Experiment 2, participants watched two mixed-gender conflicts, one where the female prevailed and one where the male prevailed. In this case, children chose the winner, but only when they had the same gender as themselves. Experiment 3 confirmed that children preferred own-gender individuals in the absence of conflict or status. Overall, children are sensitive to the relative status of other individuals and use this information to make social decisions. However, preschoolers do not prefer just any individual who wins access to a resource. They preferred dominant individuals, but only when they were of their own gender.
