Young children (5 to 6 years old) from an individualistic (the Netherlands) culture and a collectivistic (South of Spain: Andalusia) culture were videotaped during leisure time on their school playground. Based on the perspective of individualism-collectivism (IND-COL), cultural differences were expected with respect to observed conflict behaviors....
We examined aspects of emotional empathy across different physiological response systems in boys with disruptive behavior disorders (DBD) and normal controls. Heart rate (HR) and electromyographic (EMG) reactivity in zygomaticus major and corrugator supercilii muscles were monitored during sadness-, anger-, or happiness-inducing film clips. Relativ...
Ontwikkeling kan vanuit verschillende invalshoeken bestudeerd worden. Gergen (1977) onderscheidt in dit verband drie perspectieven:
een dat de nadruk legt op stabiliteit van bepaalde eigenschappen van een persoon (bijv. intelligentie), een tweede dat de
nadruk legt op de onvoorspelbaarheid van ontwikkelingsuitkomsten, en een derde dat het accent le...
Het verlies van een dierbare is een ontwrichtende gebeurtenis. Desondanks is nog nauwelijks onderzoek gedaan naar verliesverwerking
door jeugdigen. Bij volwassenen is er overtuigende evidentie voor het bestaan van gecompliceerde rouw; het heeft een eigen
fenomenologie en is te onderscheiden van depressie en posttraumatische stress-stoornis. Voorts...
The present study examined the internal structure of Bryant's (1982) Index of Empathy for Children and Adolescents, a 22-item questionnaire measure of dispositional affective empathy. Third graders (n = 817), fourth to sixth graders (n = 82), and eighth graders (n = 1,079) were studied. Factor analyses revealed that the empathy index is multidimens...
Based on the assumption that facial mimicry is a key factor in emotional empathy, and clinical observations that children with disruptive behavior disorders (DBD) are weak empathizers, the present study explored whether DBD boys are less facially responsive to facial expressions of emotions than normal controls. Facial electromyographic (EMG) activ...
In this chapter, I rely on the notions of independent and interdependent pathways to relationship formation (Greenfield et al., 2003) to put peer interaction and parenting in a cross-cultural perspective and apply the equality model and apprentice model (Keller, 2003) to analyze culture-specific parental practices with children. I then attempt to i...
According to Russell et al. (Developmental Rev 1998; 18: 313) child–parent interaction could contain horizontal qualities, similar to child–peer interactions. To study this, child–parent and child–peer play interactions were compared on several observed horizontal and vertical characteristics in 55 7-year-old children interacting with their mother,...
The present study examined empathy in 8- to 12-year-old clinically referred boys with disruptive behavior disorders (DBD) (n=25) and age-matched normal controls (n=24).
Situational empathy was assessed by children's emotional and cognitive responses to six empathy-inducing vignettes (displaying sadness, anger or happiness). Dispositional affective...
In the Western peer interaction literature, children's observable social functioning is often causally related to peer acceptance and psychosocial well-being. In the present review, cross-cultural empirical support for such a relationship was investigated. By means of a PsycLIT search, cross-cultural studies of peer interaction-published in article...
The aim of the present article is to study of role that cultural differences play in peer interactions. We analysed children's behaviour during play, focusing on the conflicts that took place among pre-schoolers during leisure time, comparing the results obtained between children from Andalusia and Holland. We found a tendency for Andalusian childr...
To gain insight into children's peer relations and their developmental significance, it is important to know not only how many relations children have but also to consider the structure of these relations. To demonstrate this, we used a multiple-study design in which we applied social network analyses to sociometric ratings and nominations from 1,0...
In the developmental literature, indications of different structures or patterns of peer aggression can be found. Examples are a dominance structure and a central victim or “scapegoat” structure. The present study investigated (1) which of eight structural models best characterizes the prevailing structure in school classes of young children, (2) w...
This article reviews the thematic apperception tests that are currently available to the practitioner for child and adolescent assessment Besides the well-established CAT and TAT, various new tests have been developed to address contemporary issues relevant to young children and adolescents. The discussion of the comparative strengths and weaknesse...
De bestudering van psychopathologie bij kinderen en jeugdigen behoeft meer evenwicht tussen het verzamelen van gegevens en
theorievorming. De ontwikkelingspsychopathologie biedt hiervoor een inspirerend theoretisch kader. Angst en angststoornissen
worden in deze bijdrage in ontwikkelingsperspectief geplaatst en opgevat als de uitkomst van dynamisch...
The aim of this article was to provide data about the effects of child sexual abuse prevention programs. A more specific aim was to estimate the contribution of potential moderator variables such as age, program duration, or sample size to effect size.
A meta-analytic approach was used to calculate post-test and follow-up effect sizes of 16 evaluat...
In a longitudinal study, 34 mother-child dyads (child age 3, 4, 5 and 6 years) were videotaped each year in two different task settings. The same procedure was applied with the children's teachers. The aim of the study was to describe similarities and differences in interactional style between mothers and teachers in the age range 3–6 years, and to...
Explored the socialization basis for children's capacity to engage in social fantasy play, in relation to the child's social status. 14 Dutch children (aged 4.5–6.7 yrs) of high and low status and their mothers were videotaped while engaged in a mother–child fantasy play. Contrary to expectations, the high social status mothers and children did not...
The study of child psychopathology needs a greater balance between the collection of empirical data and the development of theoretical models. The discipline of developmental psychopathology provides a theoretical framework for the study of various emotional and behavioral disorders in childhood. This article discusses anxiety and anxiety disorders...
The relative scarcity of studies of cultural variations in peer interaction served as impetus for the present study. In this investigation, differences in peer interaction (child age: about 5 years) in Andalusia and Holland were examined both in an urban and a rural settings. Observational data were analysed with special interest on the collectivis...
El presente artículo se basa en el estudio realizado en centros preescolares de Holanda y Andalucía. En el mismo se observó la conducta de juego de preescolares que asistían a centros urbanos y rurales de ambos países. Los datos mostraron una clara diferencia en la orientación social de la conducta de juego de los preescolares. El juego de los niño...
A longitudinal study was used to explore the following hypotheses concerning the relation between mothers' beliefs, their use of high distancing utterances and children's cognitive development: (1) beliefs moderate the impact of high-distancing utterances on children's development, and (2) beliefs reflect mothers' normative expectations that motiva...
Extending Vygotsky's theory, young children's private speech during problem solving is conceptualised as having a dual nature; as a reaction to the task and as, at the same time, an indirect appeal to a potentially helpful person. The interactional function of private speech is elaborated within a developmental pragmatic frame of explanation. Based...
In the present study, the effects of attachment relationships on 7-year-olds' selfesteem were examined. It was examined whether a secure representation of attachment has positive effects on children's self-esteem. Furthermore, the predictive value of attachment to father and mother was tested. It was examined what the effects are of a sec...
