AbstractThe home language environment is a significant correlate of early childhood development outcomes; however, less is known about this mechanism in rural and peri-urban China where rates of developmental delay are as high as 52%. This study examines associations between the home language environment and child development in a sample of 158 children (58% boys) aged 18–24 months (Mage = 21.5) from rural and peri-urban households in Western China. Results show a significant association between adult-child conversation count and language development, suggesting the home language environment may be a mechanism for child development in rural and peri-urban China. 22.5% of the sample were at risk of language delay. Mother’s employment and child’s age were significant factors in the home language environment.RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTSThis research investigates the links between the home language environment and ECD in rural and peri-urban communities in China.This study shows significant positive associations between measures of the home language environment and language development outcomes, as well as with overall ECD outcomes.Adult-child conversations were more important for language development outcomes than was the number of adult words spoken.Female-initiated conversations were more important than child-initiated conversations for language development.

AbstractMindfulness based interventions (MBIs) for teachers can improve classroom interactions, teacher mindfulness, and well-being, yet whether teacher focused MBIs also benefit children remains largely unexplored. This cluster randomized trial with 36 urban elementary schools, 224 K-5th grade teachers (Mage = 41.5) and 5200 children (Mage = 7.7 years, tested direct and moderated effects of the Cultivating Awareness and Resilience in Education (CARE) professional development program on eight child academic and social emotional outcomes, most teacher-reported. Positive effects of CARE were found for engagement in learning, motivation for learning, and reading competence. CARE was unexpectedly related to increased conflict. CARE teachers initially low in mindfulness reported children as higher on engagement, motivation, reading competence, and math competence compared to children of control group teachers low in mindfulness. Unexpectedly, CARE teachers high in mindfulness at baseline reported children as lower in social skills compared to high mindfulness teachers in the control condition.

摘要基于正念的教师干预(mbi)可以改善课堂互动、教师正念和幸福感,但以教师为中心的mbi是否也有益于儿童,这在很大程度上仍未被探索。本研究以36所城市小学、224名k -5年级教师(年龄为41.5岁)和5200名儿童(年龄为7.7岁)为研究对象,测试了教育意识和弹性培养(CARE)专业发展项目对8名儿童学业和社会情感结果的直接影响和调节作用。在学习投入、学习动机和阅读能力方面发现了关怀的积极影响。意外地,CARE与冲突增加有关。CARE教师最初的正念水平较低,他们报告说,与正念水平较低的对照组教师的孩子相比,他们的孩子在敬业度、动机、阅读能力和数学能力方面都更高。出乎意料的是,与对照组的高正念教师相比,在基线时正念水平较高的CARE教师报告说,孩子的社交技能较低。感谢纽约市学校和纽约市教育局的老师、孩子和管理人员。没有你们的参与和支持,这项工作是不可能完成的。作者报告无利益竞争需要申报。数据可用性声明由于道德/法律限制,数据不可用。由于本研究的性质,本研究的参与者不同意公开分享他们的数据,因此无法获得支持数据。图A1。研究设计和时间表。显示全尺寸图A2。子样本的CONSORT流程图。该图表示当前随机对照试验各阶段的进展情况。显示全尺寸图片1宾夕法尼亚州立大学IRB # 39045和纽约市教育部IRB研究#131.2在招聘时,纽约市的学校开始过渡到一种新的模式,旨在通过分配特殊教育教师作为普通教育教师的联合教师来支持残疾学生进入普通教育教室。我们的研究设计的局限性不允许我们纳入与一名共同教师在教室工作的教师。本研究由美国教育部(USDE)教育科学研究所(IES)的Grant Award [R305A120180]资助。内容完全是作者的责任,并不一定代表IES或USDE的官方观点。内容完全是作者的责任,并不一定代表教育科学研究所或美国教育部的官方观点。

For teens growing up in military-connected families, challenges relating to relocation, parental deployment, and reintegration add layers of stress to an already complex time of life. Out-of-school time programs provide military-connected teens opportunities to utilize existing strengths, develop new skills, and build support networks, as exemplified in the Military Teen Ambassador (MTA) program – a positive youth development program developed by the Boys and Girls Clubs of America in collaboration with the US Armed Forces. This study investigates the developmental benefits experienced by the teens serving on the MTA Steering Committee – a youth-adult collaboration designed to plan and deliver the MTA program. Interviews with teen and adult participants were analyzed through the lenses of relational developmental systems theory and a structured evaluation framework. Findings contribute insights into developmental processes and outcomes for programs targeting military-connected youth and provide applied implications that extend to broader youth and adult populations.

Feelings of acceptance within school communities can promote positive psychological outcomes. Despite occurring outside of the classroom, youth who engage in extracurricular activities typically report greater school belonging. Accordingly, we examined the longitudinal effect of extracurricular activities on school belonging and depressed mood in a nationally representative, Australian sample of adolescents (N = 3,850, Mage = 12.41) followed for four years. A random-intercept cross-lagged panel model revealed extracurricular activity participation at Time 1 predicted higher school belonging two years later. In turn, higher school belonging reinforced positive mental health outcomes, by predicting within-person decreases in depressed mood. Further, the direct and indirect effect of extracurricular activities were moderated by community-level socioeconomic status. Participants residing in low socioeconomic status communities garnered the greatest benefit from participating in activities, despite having the lowest levels of participation. Our data highlight how structured leisure time pursuits can promote wellbeing, especially within more disadvantaged communities.

AbstractEmotion regulation is one of the important skills helping children and parents to deal with stressful conditions within the family context during the pandemic. We aimed to investigate whether mothers’ emotion regulation strategies before COVID-19 and their COVID-19-related anxiety would predict children’s sadness regulation during the pandemic with a longitudinal design. A total of 310 children, aged 7–17, and their mothers from Türkiye participated in the current study. Maternal reappraisal and suppression did not predict children’s sadness regulation skills. Maternal COVID-19-related anxiety positively predicted children’s inhibition during the pandemic over and above maternal emotion regulation skills and children’s pre-pandemic sadness regulation skills. Age also predicted children’s inhibition levels, such that as children got older, their inhibition levels increased. Findings highlight the importance of the emotional climate of the family environment during the pandemic for emotional development in the Turkish context.

The sustainability motive-alignment hypothesis posits that adolescents will be motivated to act sustainably when they view sustainable behavior as aligned with their motives for autonomy and peer status. Based on this hypothesis, we developed the Sustainability Motive-Alignment Scale (SMAS), a brief self-report scale of individual differences in sustainability motive-alignment. In four studies across two relatively individualistic (U.S., Netherlands) and two relatively collectivistic countries (China, Colombia), the SMAS was reliable and valid as a single-factor scale; measurement invariant in terms of age and genders but measurement noninvariant in terms of culture, suggesting cultural differences in adolescents’ construals of sustainability motive-alignment; and positively associated with measures of sustainable attitudes, norms, self-efficacy, behavior, and climate change knowledge. Thus, sustainability motive-alignment can be assessed as a conceptually distinct psychological dimension underlying adolescents’ sustainable tendencies. We hope that our brief, psychometrically sound instrument will spark developmentally informed research on the psychological underpinnings of adolescent sustainability.

AbstractRecent adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) scholarship emphasizes that differing ACEs affect the onset and course of psychopathology, and that sociopolitical context contributes to ACEs experienced by marginalized youth. Guided by the Immigration-Related Adverse Childhood Experiences Model, we explored the associations between different ACEs—immigration enforcement fear and perceived economic hardship—on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression among first and second-generation Latinx youth in immigrant families. Participants (n = 306) included students from 11 high schools in two states (58% female; 25% aged 17 or older). Fifty-three percent were first generation students and 80% were born in, or had a parent from, Mexico or Central America. We found that immigration enforcement fear predicted greater PTSD symptoms after accounting for other key covariates. Perceived economic hardship was associated with depression across all subscales. Findings highlight the need for a multidimensional approach to assess and understand how ACEs, including immigration enforcement fear, influence mental health for youth in Latinx immigrant families.

AbstractLeisure activities engagement could promote freshmen’s well-being by providing social support and improving positive mood. Little is known about the day-to-day variability in leisure activities and stress and their links to daily well-being. Using a month-long daily diary design among 273 Canadian freshmen (Mage = 18, 73% female, 32% White), this study investigated the relations between daily leisure activities, stress, and well-being. Multilevel modeling revealed that daily leisure activities showed concurrent positive effects on daily well-being, whereas daily stress had negative effects. There were substantial inter-individual differences in these links, which were partly explained by coping orientations and person-average levels of stress. Engaging in more diverse leisure activities was related to better well-being. The findings demonstrate the immediate beneficial effects of leisure activities on well-being in everyday life and provide interventions with amendable targets to promote freshmen’s positive socioemotional development during their transition to university.

AbstractCommon ways to test associations between two repeatedly measured constructs have two primary limitations. Studies often report the average effects and ignore the heterogeneity. Independently interpreted autoregression and cross-lagged coefficients (i.e. local effects) may not match the holistic dynamic patterns (i.e. considering all coefficients simultaneously). Our paper aims to address the limitations by introducing vector plots to visualize holistic person-specific dynamic patterns. We utilized a case example of 14-day daily diary data of diabetes self-efficacy and self-care from 200 emerging adults with type 1 diabetes. A dynamic structural equation model was used to generate person-specific coefficients. Vector plots and eigenvalues were generated to visualize person-specific holistic patterns. We found heterogeneity in both local and holistic dynamic patterns. Most participants (N = 178) had mismatching local and holistic patterns. Our study provided important evidence that failing to capture person-specific holistic dynamic patterns might result in incomplete interpretations of dynamic associations.

用于测试两个重复测量的构念之间的关联的常用方法有两个主要的局限性。研究经常报告平均效果而忽略异质性。独立解释的自回归和交叉滞后系数(即局部效应)可能与整体动态模式(即同时考虑所有系数)不匹配。我们的论文旨在通过引入矢量图来可视化整体个人特定动态模式来解决局限性。本研究以200名新发成人1型糖尿病患者为研究对象,记录其14天的糖尿病自我效能感和自我护理情况。采用动态结构方程模型生成个人特征系数。生成矢量图和特征值以可视化个人特定的整体模式。我们发现了局部和整体动态模式的异质性。大多数参与者(N = 178)存在局部与整体模式不匹配。我们的研究提供了重要的证据,未能捕获个人特定的整体动态模式可能导致动态关联的不完整解释。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。本研究中使用的数据由国家糖尿病、消化和肾脏疾病研究所DK092939授予Cynthia a .

This study identified network types based on multiple indicators reflecting the structure, function, and quality of social relationships, and investigated their associations with mental health in two age-groups. Using 620 South Korean middle-aged and older adults, Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) was conducted for both the total sample and for each age-group separately. LPA derived four network types: diverse-supported, family-focused, friend-focused, and restricted. However, for each age group, the prevalence and composition of the network types differed. While controlling for individuals’ demographic information and self-rated health, there were significant differences in terms of mental health among four network types, and an individual’s network type membership was found to be significantly associated with their mental health. Although the associations of network types with mental health were overall similar in both groups, the effect sizes of network type impact on mental health were much greater in older adults than they were in middle-aged adults.
