One hundred five parents (50 Turkish, 55 U.S.) and their 4- to 5-year-old children reminisced about family events. Videos were coded for parents' emotion coaching and dismissing. Parents self-reported expressiveness and reactions to children's emotions. Experimenters administered tasks assessing children's emotion masking and emotion understanding. Teachers reported children's social competence and behavior problems. Emotion socialization by Turkish and U.S. parents differed according to valence (positive, negative) and mode (expressiveness, reactions, discourse). For both Turkish and U.S. families, encouraging socialization of negative emotions related to children's better masking of negative emotions and poorer masking of positive emotions. For U.S. families, encouraging negative emotions related to children's poorer socio-emotional functioning. When parents encouraged positive emotions, Turkish children scored higher in masking negative emotions, whereas U.S. children scored higher in masking positive emotions and had better socio-emotional functioning. Results suggest that cultural values may influence emotion socialization and its relations to children's socio-emotional development.

Traditional diagnostic approaches often lack biological markers, making precision in diagnosis challenging. This study explores the role of array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) in improving diagnostic accuracy for ASD. Five clinical vignettes of children diagnosed with ASD <i>via</i> DSM-5 or ADOS-2 were evaluated at a child and adolescent psychiatry clinic. Genome-wide oligonucleotide aCGH analysis was conducted using the Human Genome CGH Microarray kit (OGT), containing approximately 180,000 probes with 30-37 kb spacing based on the GRCh37 build. Fragile X syndrome was excluded using the Asuragen Amplidex PCR/CE FMR1 kit. The case series included boys aged 8-11 from diverse ethnic backgrounds (Asian, African, and Qatari), all presenting with varying degrees of ASD. Genetic analyses revealed significant chromosomal changes affecting eight genes, <i>SHOX</i>, <i>HNF1B</i>, <i>COH1</i>, <i>AHNAK</i>, <i>DOCK8</i>, <i>TIAM1</i>, <i>TBL1XR1</i>, and <i>ALKBH8</i>, highlighting diverse genetic contributions to ASD. These findings encompassed both chromosomal gains and losses, as well as variants of uncertain significance (VUS). The aCGH analyses provided valuable genetic insights, refining the diagnostic process and informing personalized management strategies for ASD.

Sources of happiness in all life stages include the themes of closeness to family, closeness to friends, social relations, altruistic attitudes, social peace, and traveling. In young adulthood and later life stages, the theme of spirituality emerged, including concepts such as the meaning and purpose of life, belief in God, gratitude to God, and being connected with nature. In childhood, the themes of playing games, receiving gifts, and experiencing surprises were prominent sources of happiness, whereas in adolescence, the themes were eating favorite things and achieving autonomy.

We focused on Catholicism as an important test case based on its distinctive components amongst other Christian denominations.

Respondents' recollections of their parents' religious parenting practices significantly predicted their own current religious parenting practices.
