This…

Parents' responses to their children's emotional expressivity have been shown to significantly influence children's subsequent psychosocial functioning. This study hypothesized that adolescents' deliberate self-harm (DSH) may be an outcome associated with poor emotion regulation as well as an invalidating family environment. The mediational role…

Findings on the relation of maternal verbal teaching strategies to children's effortful control (EC; i.e., self-regulation) are limited in quantity and somewhat inconsistent. In this study, children's EC was assessed at 18, 30, and 42 months (ns = 255, 229, and 209, respectively) with adults' reports and a behavioral measure. Mothers' verbal…

Consistent with the conceptual model, marital conflict and youth self-control are directly…

Garcia, Emma – Economic Policy Institute, 2015
Inequalities in education outcomes such as test scores or degree attainment have been at the center of education policy debates for decades.

Since then, researchers have examined performance gaps by…

Neumann, Anna; van Lier, Pol A. C.; Gratz, Kim L.; Koot, Hans M. – Assessment, 2010
The authors explored the utility of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) in assessing adolescents' emotion regulation. Adolescents (11-17 years; N = 870) completed the DERS and measures of externalizing and internalizing problems. Confirmatory factor analysis suggested a similar factor structure in the adolescent sample of the…

Buckley, Lisa; Sheehan, Mary; Chapman, Rebekah – Journal of Drug Education, 2009
Typically adolescents' friends are considered a risk factor for adolescent engagement in risk-taking. This study took a more novel approach, by examining adolescent friendship as a protective factor. In particular it investigated friends' potential to intervene to reduce risk-taking. Five-hundred-forty adolescents (mean age 13.47 years) were asked…
