Developmental foundations of externalizing problems in young children: the role of effortful control.

TL;DR: This article found that children's effortful control skills were important correlates of children's early disruptive behavior, a finding that may provide insight into the developmental origins of chronic behavioral maladjustment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early developmental precursors of externalizing behavior in middle childhood and adolescence.

TL;DR: The caregiver's perception of her toddler as emotionally unresponsive to her was a consistent predictor of later externalizing behavior, suggesting that negative maternal cognitions associated with child conduct problems may begin in toddlerhood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measurement of Impulsivity: Construct Coherence, Longitudinal Stability, and Relationship with Externalizing Problems in Middle Childhood and Adolescence

TL;DR: Assessment of impulsivity in nonreferred school-aged children found children who performed impulsively on the laboratory measures were perceived by mothers and by teachers as more impulsive, inattentive, and overactive than others, affirm the external validity of the impulsivity constructs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of child problem behaviors by multiple informants: a longitudinal study from preschool to school entry.

TL;DR: Findings support the value of multi-informant assessment, uphold calls to include fathers in childhood research, and suggest that examiners provide valid, though non-unique assessment data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early antecedents of childhood impulsivity: the role of parent-child interaction, cognitive competence, and temperament

TL;DR: Findings indicated that responsive, cognitively stimulating parenttoddler interactions in the 2nd year modestly predicted later measures of cognitive nonimpulsivity and ability to delay gratification and support a multidimensional and developmental conceptualization of the early antecedents of childhood impulsivity.
