This two-wave longitudinal study investigated the interplay between the DRD2 gene rs1799732 polymorphism and negative parenting in predicting self-control among 9-14-year-olds, with a focus on differences between childhood and adolescence. Results revealed that the effects of negative parenting on self-control were concentrated in childhood (ages 9-11) and varied by genotype. Children with the GG allele were more vulnerable to negative parenting, exhibiting reduced self-control, whereas those carrying the T allele (TT/TG) demonstrated enhanced self-control under similar conditions, suggesting a possible 'training' effect. These findings highlight childhood as a critical period of environmental sensitivity and underscore the need for personalized parenting strategies that account for genetic differences. Limitations include the study's restricted developmental window, the exclusion of positive parenting and other family subsystems, and the need for replication using multi-wave designs and broader samples. The results provide novel insights into gene-environment interactions and offer practical guidance for targeted interventions to foster self-control in youth.","PeriodicalId":51418,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Developmental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145253750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 662 children aged 4-10 from kindergarten, second grade and fourth grade participated. Children viewed photos of identical twins labelled as groomed or ungroomed, then watched videos where these individuals named unfamiliar shapes. Results showed that children across all age groups significantly preferred the groomed individual. Analysis of their explanations revealed that kindergarteners relied more on appearance-based justifications compared with older children. From second grade onward, children increasingly shifted towards accuracy- and skill-based explanations, even without direct evidence of competence. This developmental trend suggests that as children's language and reasoning abilities improve, they begin to provide more epistemic justifications rather than relying on superficial cues. Overall, the findings indicate that appearance strongly affects children's epistemic trust decisions throughout early and middle childhood. The study highlights the importance of educational practices that help children critically evaluate information sources based on reliability and competence rather than external appearance.","PeriodicalId":51418,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Developmental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145114835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined intolerance of uncertainty (IU) as a mediator and the behavioural inhibition system (BIS) as a moderator in the associations between childhood maltreatment and both anxiety and depression. Data were collected from 3503 Chinese adolescents (51.0% male; Mage = 14.00, SD = 1.34). The results showed that IU mediated the associations between childhood maltreatment and both anxiety and depression. BIS significantly moderated direct and indirect pathways in both models. Notably, Johnson-Neyman analysis identified a transition point (at standardized BIS scores ≤ -1.80) where BIS' moderating effect on the maltreatment-depression pathway shifted from significant to non-significant. This pattern was not observed in the anxiety model. This divergence suggests distinct roles of BIS in anxiety versus depression. The findings suggest that IU and BIS may serve as potential intervention targets in efforts to mitigate the psychopathological outcomes associated with childhood maltreatment.","PeriodicalId":51418,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Developmental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145066378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The environmental stress hypothesis (ESH), originally developed for motor-impaired children, may provide understanding, yet has been scarcely examined in typically developing children. Therefore, we examined: (1) relations between children's motor skills and internalizing problems; (2) the role of secondary stressors, specifically interpersonal conflicts and externalizing problems; and (3) the role of personal resources, namely, prosocial behaviour and social self-efficacy (SSE). About 1154 Dutch primary school children (mean age 9.0 years, 50.0% boys) participated. Multilevel structural equation models showed that children's motor skills were related to internalizing problems, with a weak indirect relation via interpersonal conflicts. SSE had a weak indirect relation with internalizing problems. Prosocial skills (personal resource) and externalizing problems (secondary stressor) did not mediate relations between motor skills and internalizing problems. The ESH seemed applicable in typically developing children, although relations were weaker than for motor-impaired children.","PeriodicalId":51418,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Developmental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145024733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An online survey was completed by parents of children who had received professional input around mental health or behaviour (n = 67) versus a comparison group (n = 84) who had not. Measures of parental mind-mindedness, parental distress, and parent-child relationship quality (closeness and conflict) were administered. Parents in the clinical group reported higher distress, conflict with their child and negative mind-mindedness. Moderated mediation analyses showed the association between positive mind-mindedness and parental distress was fully mediated by conflict in both groups, and partially mediated by closeness in the clinical group. Negative mind-mindedness had a direct effect on parental distress, not mediated through relationship quality. Findings indicate that more positive and less negative mind-mindedness provides a buffer against parental distress. Interventions enhancing mind-mindedness are likely to alleviate parental distress and improve parent-child relationships. The findings are consistent with the proposal that mind-mindedness is a relational construct rather than a trait-like quality of the caregiver.","PeriodicalId":51418,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Developmental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144977972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we investigated the influence of cognitive load on bimanual or unimanual strategy use in preschoolers, through a combination of secondary data analysis and new empirical data. Experiment 1 investigated block-stacking strategies under high, medium and low cognitive load tasks in 3-year-olds and showed that 3-year-olds demonstrated significantly more unimanual strategy use in the high cognitive load task. Experiment 2 investigated (i) whether this effect persisted across preschool years and (ii) whether it was modulated by differences in executive function abilities. There was no age effect in motor strategy use under high cognitive load from 3 to 5 years of age. However, individual differences in inhibitory control and working memory use were significantly associated with differences in unimanual strategy use. These results are interpreted as evidence for a cognitive/action trade-off in which higher cognitive demands result in the adjustment of motor strategies such as use of unimanual stacking instead of bimanual coordination in preschoolers.","PeriodicalId":51418,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Developmental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144978041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Parents of 799 preschool children were invited to complete the Short-Form Video Overuse Scale, Empathy Questionnaire, Emotional Regulation Scale, Prosocial Behaviour Scale and Aggressive Behaviour Scale. The results revealed that: (1) Short-form video overuse was negatively correlated with prosocial behaviours and positively correlated with aggressive behaviours; (2) Short-form video overuse influenced prosocial and aggressive behaviours through the mediating role of empathy (it is noteworthy that short-form video overuse was positively correlated with empathy, while higher empathy levels were simultaneously associated with both more prosocial and aggressive behaviours); (3) Short-form video overuse also affected prosocial and aggressive behaviours through the mediating role of emotion regulation. These findings contribute to understanding the multifaceted effects of short-form video overuse on children's behavioural development and highlight the need for parents and educators to address preschool children's video usage.","PeriodicalId":51418,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Developmental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144977965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
