Iron intake in particular is crucial for healthy physical and brain development in adolescence, but few studies have examined the role of iron intake in adolescents’ behavior problems. The current study examined the associations between iron intake and two types of behavior problems in early adolescents – aggression and rule breaking. The sample included 272 middle school students (Mage =12.08; 53% female; 47% Black, 37% White, 9% Hispanic, 6% other racial/ethnic group). Multivariate regression analyses adjusting for sociodemographic covariates revealed that higher iron intake was linked to lower aggressive behaviors (β = - .16, p < .05), but was not associated with rule breaking. These findings support the role of iron intake in healthy behavioral development in adolescence.","PeriodicalId":513284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Developmental Science","volume":"122 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141820231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It provides a window into the way we understand others and learn about the world. During the preschool years, there are significant developments in how children process actions. Here, we systematically review tasks investigating action processing in preschoolers, employing the electronic databases PubMed, Scopus and PsycINFO. We extracted 680 studies on action processing in preschoolers and identified 66 papers that focused on typically developing children. The studies employed various tasks, which we categorized based on their complexity and the cognitive abilities they demand. This review not only sheds light on the intricate developmental nuances of action processing during the preschool period but also serves as a valuable resource for researchers. By providing insights into the emergence of different ways how children process actions, it aids in selecting appropriate tasks for investigating action-related skills in preschool children.","PeriodicalId":513284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Developmental Science","volume":"112 42","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141362361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The need for new interpersonal (dsy)function models of PD traits during adolescence is urgent because most research has focused on internalizing and externalizing psychopathology, as well as adults, who differ from adolescents in the value that they place on different social behaviors. Available clinical treatments for PD traits have also been based on findings with adults. Thus, new models are not only needed but would have profound etiological, diagnostic, and treatment implications. We describe preliminary findings that support our proposed peer trade-off model. In conclusion, we describe promising new directions to further evaluate the model and advance knowledge about PD traits during adolescence.","PeriodicalId":513284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Developmental Science","volume":"27 34","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141005473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Secondly, how do inmates associated with the Salafist scene (security label \"Salafist scene\") differ from those who are apparently involved with terror networks (security label \"terror\"), and do these differences predict the risk they pose? Our results suggest that files are a valuable, though not perfect data source for individual assessment and research.
