Longitudinal associations among interest, persistence, supportive parenting, and achievement in early childhood
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the early development of children's learning behaviors, including interest in new cognitive tasks (interest) and persistence in task completion (persistence), and found that both interest and persistence during toddlerhood predict children's academic standing at school entry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Socioeconomic Status, Parenting Knowledge and Behaviors, and Perceived Maltreatment of Young Low- Birth-Weight Children
TL;DR: In this article, the relative effects of socioeconomic status and parenting knowledge and behaviors on whether nurse practitioners perceive a family as being suspected of or confirmed for child maltreatment during the first 3 years of a child's life were estimated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of selectivity in the pathogenesis of eating problems in ballet dancers
TL;DR: The data suggest that dancers who have survived a stringent process of early selection may be more naturally suited to the thin body image demanded by ballet and so less at risk for the development of eating problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Great Recession, genetic sensitivity, and maternal harsh parenting
TL;DR: It is found that changes in macroeconomic conditions, rather than current conditions, affected harsh parenting, that declines in macro economic conditions had a stronger impact on harsh parenting than improvements in conditions, and that mothers’ responses to adverse economic conditions were moderated by the DRD2 Taq1A genotype.
Book ChapterDOI
