Background: Methodologic challenges related to the concomitant use (co-use) of substances and changes in policy and potency of marijuana contribute to ongoing uncertainty about risks to fetal neurodevelopment associated with prenatal marijuana use. In this study, we...

Anger is a central characteristic of negative affect and is relatively stable from infancy and into middle childhood and beyond. Absolute levels of anger typically peak in early childhood and diminish as children become socialized and better able to manage their...

This study examined children’s morning HPA axis activation as a moderator of links between hostile, over reactive parenting at age 4.5 years and children’s skills for success in school (higher executive function and literacy, and less externalizing behavior) at age 6....

Before genetic approaches were applied in experimental studies with human populations, they were used by animal and plant breeders to observe, and experimentally manipulate, the role of genes and environment on specific phenotypic or behavioral outcomes. For obvious...

The origins of top-down self-regulation are attributed to genetic and socialization factors as evidenced by high heritability estimates from twin studies and the influential role of parenting. However, recent evidence suggests that parenting behavior itself is...
