The present study examined associations between maternal elaboration and the accuracy of children's collaborative recall with their mothers and independent recall with an unfamiliar adult for an unshared event. We examined whether these associations depended on maternal autonomy support, mothers' accurate versus inaccurate preconceptions about the unshared event, and children's age. Participants were 141 children (4- to 7-year-olds; 52% female) and their mothers (71% White, 60% completed a bachelor's degree). Children individually participated in an unshared event and discussed the event with their mothers prior to a neutral interview with an unfamiliar adult. We experimentally manipulated whether mothers were exposed to accurate (i.e., knowledgeable) versus inaccurate (i.e., misled) details prior to collaborative recall. Maternal elaboration increased accurate collaborative recall among children with knowledgeable mothers and among older children with misled mothers but only when misled mothers were autonomy supportive. Younger children with misled mothers reported more accurate collaborative details as maternal autonomy support increased. Representing a double-edged sword, maternal elaboration increased inaccurate collaborative recall among younger children and decreased accurate independent recall in both maternal bias conditions. The present findings underscore the importance of considering conversational (i.e., maternal bias and autonomy support) and developmental contexts (i.e., child age) in elucidating the manner in which maternal elaboration relates to the accuracy of children's recall.

Using data from a prospective longitudinal study of the consequences of childhood maltreatment, we examine whether childhood maltreatment predicts lower levels of social connectedness and more depression symptoms over a 30-year time period and examine the directionality of the trajectories from childhood into middle adulthood. Children (ages 0-11 years) with documented histories of maltreatment and demographically matched controls were followed into adulthood across four waves: 1989-1995 (n = 1,196; Mage = 29.2 years, SD = 3.9), 2000-2002 (n = 896; Mage = 39.5 years, SD = 3.6), 2003-2005 (n = 808; Mage = 41.2 years, SD = 3.6), and 2009-2010 (n = 649; Mage = 47.0 years, SD = 3.5). Social connectedness and depressive symptoms were measured at all four time points. Random intercept cross-lagged panel models were used to estimate bidirectional relationships between social connectedness and depression symptoms and the extent to which the trajectories differed for the maltreated and control groups. Individuals with documented histories of childhood maltreatment generally had significantly lower levels of social connectedness and higher levels of depression compared to matched controls. Depression was associated with lower levels of social connectedness concurrently at ages 39, 41, and 47. Depression predicted lower social connectedness, and social connectedness predicted lower depression in middle adulthood, but not young adulthood. Better understanding of the long-term impact of childhood maltreatment on social connectedness and depression has implications for designing effective interventions.

Specifically, we were interested in whether empathy increases with fathering experience. In two preregistered online studies (N = 1,046, primarily from the United Kingdom and the United States), participants' task was to rate their affective responses to emotional pictures of children (affective empathy) and to recognize children's emotions from pictures of the eye area (cognitive empathy). In Study 1 (N = 530), we compared childless men, expecting fathers, and fathers. Expecting fathers displayed greater affective empathy toward children than childless men, but they did not differ significantly from fathers. Unexpectedly, fathers exhibited lower cognitive empathy than expecting fathers. Study 2 (N = 516) extended these findings by investigating the impact of different levels of fathering experience among first-time fathers and those with prior parenting experience. Fathers of infants showed more affective empathy than childless men, regardless of prior parenting experience. Fathers with older children had lower cognitive empathy compared to childless men and fathers with infants. These results suggest that expecting fathers and fathers with a new infant may exhibit increased affective empathy to children's emotions. More experienced fathers and fathers of older children may have become accustomed to childcare, necessitating less intensive engagement to child signals. Future longitudinal studies are needed to determine whether empathy toward children's emotions shows within-person fluctuations during the transition to fatherhood instead of steadily increasing.

Drawing on a sociodemographically diverse sample of 250 children (50% female sex assigned at birth; Mage_W1 = 49.02 months, SD = 2.99) and their maternal caregivers (55.6% Latina; 37.6% poverty), this study evaluated a multiple mediation model to integrate heretofore distinct bodies of research examining (a) parenting effects on the development of emotion knowledge and (b) emotion knowledge effects on socioemotional adaptation.

However, only emotion labeling skills explained children's behavioral adjustment outcomes with a significant pathway from supportive parenting at age 4 to fewer externalizing and internalizing behavior problems at age 10 via improved emotion labeling skills. These findings suggest that emotion knowledge, particularly labeling skills, partially explains the protective impact of supportive parenting on behavioral adaptation across childhood.

The present study delineated developmental trajectories of mothers' ES practices, specifically the initial levels and growth across time of their supportive and nonsupportive responses to their young children's emotions. To contextualize the developmental role of these processes, we examined multiple predictors (i.e., maternal emotion dysregulation, child negative emotionality, demographic covariates) and one outcome (i.e., child anxiety) of ES trajectories, as well as how trajectories varied by emotion type-sadness, anger, or worry. We investigated these questions in a community sample of 173 predominantly White, non-Hispanic mother-child dyads who participated at four time points when children were aged 2-5 years, with assessments 1 year apart. Mothers reported on study variables. Results varied by ES type. Mothers' supportive global and emotion-specific ES were highly stable across time and did not relate to predictors, outcomes, or demographic covariates. Mothers endorsed gradual decreases in nonsupportive ES across time, with some variations across emotion type. Nonsupportive responses to worry and sadness each comprised two classes varying by intercept and slope. Nonsupportive worry responses linearly decreased, whereas nonsupportive sadness responses linearly increased. Across global and emotion-specific models, maternal emotion dysregulation, child negative emotionality, and demographic covariates showed unique relations with nonsupportive ES intercept and slope. Trajectories were mostly unrelated to later child anxiety, with the exception of class-specific differences for nonsupportive worry responses. Implications and future directions are discussed.

Further, this study investigates how distinct patterns of maltreatment and maternal substance use differentially predict emerging adult substance use in offspring. Participants (N = 405) were drawn from a longitudinal follow-up study of emerging adults who participated in a research summer camp program as children. Wave 1 of the study included 674 school-aged children with and without maltreatment histories, all of whom experienced low socioeconomic status. Patterns of child maltreatment experiences, based on coded Child Protective Services record data, and maternal substance use behaviors, per a diagnostic interview, were used to predict Wave 2 (emerging adulthood) substance use. Results indicated that children who were exposed to a pattern of multitype maltreatment and multitype maternal substance dependence, relative to those exposed to multitype maltreatment alone, reported greater alcohol dependence symptoms during emerging adulthood. Additionally, these same individuals reported greater past-year hard liquor consumption relative to those who experienced chronic, multitype maltreatment and maternal alcohol dependence. These findings highlight how a pattern of maternal polysubstance use and multitype maltreatment is particularly consequential for the intergenerational transmission of substance use behaviors.

Given the long-term impact of working memory in people's lives, it is fundamental to understand which mechanisms underlie it and how these develop with age. A recently proposed mechanism to explain working memory development is attentional refreshing. Refreshing is an attention-based maintenance mechanism that improves the accessibility of mental representations. It is assumed to operate serially, with attention cycling from one mental representation to the other, in order to reactivate all to-be-maintained items. Although it has been suggested that its efficiency increases in children between 7 and 14 years old, recent results contradict this notion. In this article, we modify several important task characteristics of a recently developed paradigm used to detect whether refreshing is spontaneously used in children and to examine whether evidence for spontaneous refreshing could be found. All participants were recruited in public schools in Geneva (Switzerland). In Experiment 1 (68 8-year-olds, 32 girls and 36 boys, and 62 12-year-olds, 35 girls and 27 boys) and Experiment 2 (26 8-year-olds, 11 girls and 15 boys, and 49 12-year-olds, 27 girls and 22 boys), we show that increasing children's motivation and providing more explicitly free time do not result in the spontaneous occurrence of refreshing in 8- and 12-year-olds. The absence of evidence for refreshing in a simple, commonly-used working memory task, despite theory-driven modifications aimed at encouraging it, casts some doubts on the notion that refreshing is crucially involved in children's working memory functioning and development.

Four- to 5-year-old (Study 1, N = 108, 54 female) and 6-year-old urban German children (Study 2, N = 72, 36 female) participated in a mock video call in which we assessed their responses to a peer's sulking behavior as opposed to angry and disappointed behavior. We used a forced-choice puppet interview, measuring fear, sympathy, and guilt reactions. In an additional distancing task, we assessed whether children would distance themselves from their peer depending on their emotional expressions. In both age groups, we found that sulking behavior led to medium distancing, while angry behavior led to high and disappointed behavior to low distancing. Disappointed behavior elicited empathic reactions, and angry behavior led to fear. Sulking behavior actuated guilt among 6-year-olds, but not younger children.

However, little is known about the specific role of empathy in epigenetic aging and the mechanisms explaining this relationship. One such mechanism may be substance use, which is predicted by low empathy and contributes to accelerated epigenetic aging. Thus, the present study examined whether empathy during early adolescence predicts epigenetic aging in young adulthood and whether substance use in late adolescence and young adulthood mediates this effect. Participants included 343 individuals (58% female, 81% Black, 19% White) who were interviewed at mean ages of 13, 17, and 27 years. Participants self-reported their empathy at Time 1 and their alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis use at Times 2 and 3. At Time 3, epigenetic aging was assessed from salivary DNA using the GrimAge, DunedinPACE, and PhenoAge clocks. A regression analysis demonstrated that higher empathy in early adolescence uniquely predicted lower epigenetic aging on the GrimAge clock in young adulthood even after adjusting for environmental and sociodemographic risk factors. Mediation models revealed that the link between empathy and lower epigenetic aging on all three clocks was mediated by lower tobacco use. These results suggest that higher empathy during early adolescence may contribute to better health throughout the lifespan due to lower tobacco use and slower epigenetic aging.

However, the mechanism behind this relation remains somewhat elusive. The present study examined 3-year-old children's (N = 72; Mage = 3.51 years; 42 female) ability to match faces to emotional vignettes, and the role that the use of emotion labels plays in this process. Parents identified participating children as White (N = 37), multiracial (N = 17), African American/Black (N = 5), Asian (N = 5), Hispanic (N = 3), Latino (N = 2), South Asian/Indian (N = 1), Middle Eastern (N = 1), and other (N = 1), and most children had a parent with a college degree (N = 66). After a pretest, children heard either explicit emotion labels (\"she feels annoyed\"), novel labels (\"she feels wuggy\"), or irrelevant information (\"she sits down\") paired with a vignette and associated facial configuration. Children were then tested again at posttest for evidence of learning. Results revealed that children only improved from pre- to posttest in the explicit label condition, demonstrating that explicit emotion labels, which are likely to be familiar to children, facilitate children's learning of emotion information. Altogether, our results suggest that familiarity with emotion words from prior daily experience may best explain how emotion words influence children's learning about emotions.
