Institutional care has been shown to increase the risk of attention problems in children, but some children are more sensitive to their environment, both for better and for worse. With this in mind, the current study examined the moderating role of temperament (falling reactivity) between early adversity and attention skills. Six- to 15-month-old i...

Socioeconomic status (SES) appears to be an important contextual factor in children's developmental outcomes, including their responses to stress. However, some children are more susceptible to its effects than others. Hair cortisol is a newer method of assessing the activity of the HPA axis, providing cumulative cortisol levels. The present articl...

It is well known that children who are not raised by biological parents show delays in their development (van Ijzendoorn et al., 2011; Martins et al., 2013; Merz, McCall, Wright, & Luna, 2013; Rutter et al., 2007). They also show higher deficits in social behaviors if they are raised in institutions (Torres, Maia, Veríssimo, Fernandes, & Silva, 201...

The aim of the present study was to compare the self-development and self regulation of toddlers under the protection of government based on where they reside e.g. foster care, care villages, child homes and institutions. Temperament was taken as a moderator. Participants were 24-35 months old children who were residing in different care types in A...
