However, there is still a limited understanding of how mothers' touch behavior adapts to specific interactive tasks, particularly throughout infancy. To address this gap, we observed mother-infant dyads at 7 and 12 months during three structured social play tasks: (a) play with objects, (b) play without objects, and (c) play with a difficult object. Using an adapted version of the Ordinalized Maternal Touch Scale, we categorized every touch performed by the mother. The effect of the infant's age and play tasks on the proportion of time mothers touch their infants was evaluated using Bayesian beta mixed models, taking into account both the total quantity and the Ordinalized Maternal Touch Scale touch categories. Results showed that (a) the frequency of maternal touch is prevalent in dyadic interactions and lowered in triadic object play; (b) mothers used affectionate, static, and playful touch categories more often in dyadic play tasks; (c) in triadic play task, mothers used object-mediated touch more frequently; (d) the total frequency of maternal touch decreased across infant age, which was primarily due to a decrease in static and object-mediated touch; and (e) maternal touch varies depending on the complexity of object play task. Our findings suggested that the developmental trajectory of maternal touch behavior is modulated by the infant's evolving needs and the different challenges in object versus nonobject play tasks.

However, many have failed to incorporate the core role of developmental time in these approaches, that is, the typical course of change in behavioral features that occurs over childhood to adolescence. In this study, we utilized manifold projections alongside a gradient-boosting model on data collected from the Millennium Cohort Study to unpack the central role of developmental time in how behavioral difficulties transition between the ages of 5, 11, and 17. Our analysis highlights numerous observations: (a) Girls develop relatively greater internalized behavioral problems during adolescence; (b) in the case of a chaotic home environment, co-occurring internalizing and externalizing difficulties tend to persist during childhood; (c) peer problems were the most likely to persist over the whole 12-year period (especially in the presence of early maternal depression and poor family relationships); and (d) there were two pathways with distinct risk factors leading to antisocial behaviors in adolescence-an early-childhood onset pathway and later adolescent onset pathway. Our findings provide evidence that investigations of child and adolescent difficulties must be open to the possibility of multiple subgroups and variability in trajectory over time. We further highlight the crucial role of family and social support and school experience-related factors in predicting children's outcomes.

But what impedes the development of positive friendship quality? The present study examined whether maternal depressive symptoms during early childhood predict children's friendship quality into adolescence, and whether observed negative parenting behavior and children's earlier friendship quality, social skills, and their own depressive symptoms in middle childhood mediate these associations. We used six waves of data from a prospective longitudinal community sample (N = 396). The study followed children and their mothers across 13 years from child ages 2-15 years (52% female, 67% White, 26% Black), collecting multi-informant data (from mothers, children, teachers, and behavioral observations). The significance of indirect effects was estimated with structural equation modeling. Exposure to high levels of maternal depressive symptoms in early childhood (child ages 2-5 years) was negatively correlated with children's later adolescent friendship quality (at age 15). Structural equation models revealed that this association was mediated by children's poorer social skills (age 7) and friendship quality (age 10). Negative parenting behavior and children's depressive symptoms did not mediate this association. Maternal depressive symptoms have downstream associations with children's friendship quality into adolescence, including via children's social skills. Promoting the social skills of children exposed to maternal depressive symptoms could have long-term positive effects.

Parents can promote child self-regulation with responsive parenting (RP). RP shapes various components of self-regulation and is associated with numerous developmental outcomes. Here, we examine long-term effects of an early-life RP intervention designed for obesity prevention on later child self-regulation and temperament. Participants were from a randomized clinical trial comparing the RP intervention against a safety control (n = 279). RP intervention content in the domains of feeding, sleep, emotion regulation, and interactive play was delivered to primiparous mothers and infants at four home visits during the first year after birth, followed by clinical research center visits at ages 1 and 2 years and phone calls at 1.5 and 2.5 years. Child self-regulation and temperament were assessed with behavioral tasks and the Children's Behavior Questionnaire at child ages 3 and 6 years. A path model tested whether the RP intervention affected child self-regulation in comparison to the control group. At 6 years, children in the RP group had lower parent-reported negative affect (b = -0.34, SE = 0.15, p = .023) and better observed emotion regulation (b = 0.45, SE = 0.16, p = .007).

Boys and girls were similarly represented throughout SU/PSU patterns. In comparisons with nonusers, several preadolescent risk factors were associated with increasing severity of SU/PSU. Possibly indexing fearlessness/disinhibition, low internalizing symptoms were common to all adolescent users. An earlier onset of substance use and increasing use of substances throughout adolescence were linked with having deviant peers for all user classes but later-onset users.

However, developmental psychology research has found significant correlations between executive function outcomes and elements of the environment that would be shared in twins. It is unclear whether these seemingly contradictory findings are best explained by genetic confounding in developmental studies or limitations in twin studies, which can potentially underestimate shared environment. In this study, we use genetic and phenotypic data from 5,939 participants, 4,827 participant mothers, and 2,903 participant fathers in the Millennium cohort to examine the role of genetics in explaining common environmental associations with executive function, assessed by the spatial working memory (SWM) task and Cambridge Gambling task. Bivariate genome-wide complex trait analysis (GCTA) revealed that single-nucleotide polymorphism effects were the sole significant predictor of the association between SWM and both maternal education and prenatal smoking. maternal GCTA and trioGCTA also found no significant evidence of indirect genetic effects on SWM, indicating that genetic nurture is unlikely to explain the bivariate GCTA results. The Cambridge Gambling task showed no significant single-nucleotide polymorphism heritability, suggesting that genetic influences on hot executive function may differ significantly from those on cool executive function. This study supports the twin study claim that the working memory component of executive function is primarily a genetic trait with minimal influence from shared environment, emphasizing the importance of using genetically sensitive designs to ensure that genetic confounding does not falsely inflate estimates of environmental influences on traits.

Our study tested the structure-process-outcome model using four large early childhood data sets that were collected over a 30-year period. Data from the Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (n = 606, 24% non-White), the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study's Birth Cohort (n = 1,420, 56% non-White), the Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey 2014 Cohort (n = 2,105, 76% non-White), and the University of North Carolina's Early Learning Network (n = 455, 75% non-White) were analyzed. Child-adult ratios and teachers' highest level of education were associated with measures of observed classroom quality during the historical period when there were minimal regulations and classroom ratios were higher and teacher education was lower; relations were not found when regulations required higher levels of structural quality. Notably, we also did not find significant relations between process quality measured by commonly used quality assessments and children's academic and behavioral outcomes in the preschool year. These findings suggest that as policies have improved structural quality, there is a need to refine the structure-process-outcome theoretical model.
