Using a normative sample of 1,057 children studied across 4 waves over 6 years with multiple informants, we investigated transactional relations for sleep problems, anxious-depressed symptoms, and social functioning from preschool to preadolescence, assessing cumulative effects on children's emotional adjustment. To examine sex differences in the developmental processes, conducted separate analyses boys girls. For both girls, longitudinal cross-lagged panel showed that problems directly...
Performance on a direct distance estimation task in large, complex environment was studied as function of variation some members the set test locations. Features multidimensional scaling solutions-along with effects imagery that subjects reported experiencing while engaged spatial task-support notion working representation is constructed for solution problem. It hypothesized this construction draws selectively upon various mental representations available long-term store, depending way...
The acquisition of spatial information about a large multi-functional complex building was studied by obtaining distance estimations, confidence judgements, and imagery reports. Magnitude estimation functions for particular sets distances were computed each subject the method iteratively weighted least squares, yielding an exponent weights distance. Improvement in performance on different measures with increasing experience not uniform; indeed, certain increasingly error. data suggest that...
Monocular prism aftereffects were measured in three groups of subjects each whom had walked about wearing a 20-diopter prism, base up, over the right eye and one following left eye: diffusing screen, 0-diopter or down. The performance third group showed that visual-motor spatial coordination adult is subject to at least limited interocular independence.
This study of depressed outpatients (N = 43) examined daily stress-sadness reactivity and the cortisol awakening response (CAR) as moderators relationship between self-critical (SC) perfectionism depression over one year. Participants completed measures at baseline (Time 1), diaries salivary sampling six months later 2), an interviewer-rated measure Time 1, 2, year after 3). Hierarchical multiple regression analyses moderator effects demonstrated that patients with higher SC levels (i.e.,...
This study of 176 university students tested a single-session explanatory feedback intervention (EFI), derived from the perfectionism coping processes model. Participants with higher self-critical completed daily measures stress appraisals, coping, and affect for 7 days. A randomized control design was used to compare an EFI condition waitlist over 4 weeks individualized delivered one-on-one by student trainees in-person or remotely through videoconferencing. The feasibility analyses each...
This study examined how perfectionism and efficacy impacted the maintenance of daily coping affect in depression over six months.Forty-six depressed patients (69.6% female, mean age = 41.11 years) completed measures dimensions (self-critical, personal standards), efficacy, depressive severity at Time 1. Participants then diaries stress appraisals, coping, for 7 consecutive days 1 2, 6 months later.Perfectionism were differentially correlated with across Times 2. Behavioral disengagement...
Researchers have demonstrated the important contribution of mothers' sensitive parenting to children's developing cognition over first 5 years life, yet studies examining sensitivity beyond early years, controlling for earlier effects, are limited. In this exploratory study, we examined developmental pathways through which and later transacted with language, executive function, academics, self-reliance predict child outcomes from infancy adolescence. To a national longitudinal dataset (n =...
Introduction: This study examined whether motivation moderated the relation between self-criticism and depression over one year in a sample of adults receiving cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT). Methods: Participants (N = 38) completed measures pre-treatment (Time 1), autonomous/controlled for engaging CBT at beginning treatment 2), interviewer-rated Time 1, after baseline 3). Results: Multiple regression analyses moderator effects showed that patients higher with lower autonomous had levels...
