We specifically compared children's choices about how to best configure a novel tossing game when either playing for fun or playing to win. We found that for \"win-relevant\" variables, children chose easier settings when playing to win than when playing for fun.

Studies with father data are particularly scarce. The present study drew data from a 15-year longitudinal project of urban Chinese families and examined both concurrent and longitudinal associations between parental emotion socialization (ES) practices and youth psychosocial adjustment from early- to mid-adolescence. Youths (N = 272, 52.9% boys, Mage = 9.77 years, SD = 0.22) and their parents (247 mothers and 191 fathers) participated in the sixth wave of data collection when children were 10 years old (Year 10). Majority of them continued to participate 5 years later for the seventh wave of data collection (Year 15). Both mothers and fathers reported on their ES practices, and adolescents reported on their psychosocial adjustment outcomes at both waves. To examine how maternal and paternal ES were uniquely linked to adolescent psychosocial outcomes concurrently and across time, a series of multiple regression models were tested. Results showed that concurrently, maternal supportive ES (i.e., emotion encouragement, emotion talk or sharing, and emotion teaching) was positively linked to girls' self-esteem at Year 10, whereas paternal ES was inversely associated with boys' depressive symptoms at Year 15. Longitudinally, maternal supportive ES practices were uniquely related to girls' increases in self-esteem and decreases in depressive symptoms for all adolescents. Our findings suggest long-lasting associations between parental ES practices and adolescent psychological adjustment and unique roles of maternal and paternal ES in adolescent girls' and boys' development.

We further describe minor variability by gender, race, and age. Given other research suggesting that frequent gender nonconformity may signal elevated risk for bullying or mental health concerns, it is important to find ways to identify and support these youth to promote well-being and reduce mistreatment.

The present experiment manipulated the context in which unacquainted pairs of children interacted for the first time. We randomly assigned 288 5- to 11-year-old U.S. children (girls: n = 142, boys: n = 145, nonbinary: n = 1; American Indian or Alaska Native: n = 2, Asian or Asian American: n = 24, Black or African American: n = 8, Hispanic or Latino: n = 17, White or Caucasian: n = 200, Multiracial: n = 33, other: n = 2, not provided: n = 2) to interact in pairs with a same- or different-gender partner who matched their age. Randomly assigned peer interactions occurred in one of three conditions: interaction without support (baseline condition) or interaction preceded by adult support that scaffolded children's active (active experimental condition) or passive (passive experimental condition) participation in a self-disclosure activity. Adult coders rated children's connections during the interaction, and children later rated their feelings about their partner. Results revealed that the experimental conditions facilitated children's connections relative to baseline and eliminated gender ingroup favoritism in children's connections; the active experimental condition was particularly effective relative to the passive experimental condition. With its focus on testing mechanisms of connection, this research introduces a new experimental approach that is capable of informing theories and practices surrounding the formation of young children's peer connections.

Limited research has explored the impact of fathers' prenatal risk factors and paternal postnatal warmth on infant socioemotional development. This novel study, characterized by its use of two warmth measures, a large Nordic cohort of fathers and a longitudinal prenatal-to-postnatal design, investigates (a) the longitudinal direct effects of prenatal paternal cumulative risk on infant externalizing and internalizing behaviors at 18 months and (b) whether paternal caregiving warmth at 12 months, assessed by paternal self-reports as well as observed by dyadic interactions, moderates these associations. Data were drawn from the Little in Norway study, a large cohort of fathers (N = 864, 97.6% cohabiting, Mage = 32.18 years, 67.2% reported >3 years higher education, 4.7% belonged to an ethnic minority group) and their infants. Path analyses showed that higher paternal prenatal cumulative risk predicted increased infant externalizing (β = 0.14, p = .002) and internalizing (β = 0.09, p = .039) symptoms. Paternal self-reported warmth predicted lower externalizing symptoms, but no association was found for internalizing symptoms. Neither self-reported nor observed paternal warmth was found to moderate the relation between paternal prenatal risk and infant externalizing or internalizing symptoms, suggesting that paternal warmth may not serve as a single protective factor in buffering the potential detrimental effects of paternal cumulative risk on infant mental health outcomes. Findings underscore the importance of including fathers in developmental research, early interventions, and social policies, beginning in the prenatal period.

Higher SES mothers reported providing more autonomy, exerting less control, and having less conflict with their children than lower SES mothers. Mothers reported little use of punitive strategies to resolve conflicts, but negotiation and persuasion were used predominantly by higher SES mothers. Boys were granted more decision-making autonomy than girls, and preschool girls were viewed as more attention seeking than boys, a pattern that reversed among school-aged children.

Youth might also perpetrate psychologically controlling behaviors toward their parents, however. There is currently limited understanding of the potential longitudinal relationships between parent- and youth-perpetrated PC behaviors. This dyadic longitudinal study examined the between- and within-family associations between mother- and youth-perpetrated PC. Late adolescents and emerging adults in Hong Kong (N = 349; MageT1 = 18.20, SD = 1.10; 39.8% male; 99.1% Chinese ethnicity) and their mothers (MageT1 = 49.10, SD = 4.82) completed four assessments over a full academic year. A random intercept cross-lagged panel model showed a positive link between youth- and mother-perpetrated PC at the between-family level. At the within-family level, however, greater youth-perpetrated PC predicted decreases in later mother-perpetrated PC, suggesting that when mothers perceived their children to be more psychologically controlling than usual, youth subsequently reported their mothers as being less psychologically controlling than usual. The opposing valences of the between- versus within-family associations indicate a Simpson's paradox, offering a novel interpretation of manipulative and coercive behaviors in families. This research also represents a departure from a traditional focus on parental perpetration of PC, suggesting that youth might use PC to acquire more power in family interactions.

Samples were recruited in seven different cultural groups of European origin, in Australia, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the United States. Diary data, recorded over seven consecutive days by parents, reveal significant and powerful sample differences in total sleep per 24 hr: For example, sample means at age 6 months ranged from 12.70 hr (Spain) to 15.10 hr (the Netherlands); at 7-8 years they ranged from 10.0 hr (Italy) to 11.12 hr (the Netherlands). Other differences include within-sample variation in total sleep, time of nocturnal sleep onset, the incidence of cosleeping, and marginally, the consolidation of sleep into nighttime hours. Semistructured interviews topically coded to understand parents' culturally shared ideas and practices about the regulation of sleep. Major sample differences were found in four key areas: rest and regularity, bedtime routines, cosleeping, and family adaptation.
