In a community sample, children (Time 1: n = 157; M[subscript age] = 10.91) and their mothers were examined three times over a two-year period. Attachment was operationalized at…

Sandstrom, Andrea; Daoust, Andrew R.; Russell, Evan; Koren, Gideon; Hayden, Elizabeth P. – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2021
Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis activity is related to negative mental health outcomes, including depression. Most developmental research uses salivary cortisol to index HPA activity; however, hair cortisol concentrations (HCCs) reflect cortisol production over extended periods of time. While HCCs have been linked to adult depression,…

Hartman, Sarah; Eilertsen, Espen Moen; Ystrom, Eivind; Belsky, Jay; Gjerde, Line C. – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Emerging evidence suggests that prenatal stress does not solely undermine child functioning but increases developmental plasticity to both negative and positive postnatal experiences. Here we test this proposition using the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort study while implementing an extreme-group (i.e., high vs. low prenatal stress) design (n =…

Guterman, Oz; Neuman, Ari – School Psychology, 2020
The increased scope and percentage of children being homeschooled raise questions about the impact of this framework on the child's world. One of the issues that has not been adequately studied with regard to homeschooling is whether the emotional and personal problems of parents have greater impact on children who are homeschooled. The present…

Benassi, Erika; Camia, Michela; Giovagnoli, Sara; Scorza, Maristella – European Journal of Special Needs Education, 2022
A growing body of literature indicates that children with Specific Learning Disorder (SpLD) are at risk of internalising and externalising problems. Instead, less is known about the factors that may influence this symptomatology. For instance, a few studies investigated the extent to which impaired school well-being could predict internalising and…
