This meta-analysis included 66 studies (N = 4,176) on parental antecedents of attachment security. The question addressed was whether maternal sensitivity is associated with infant security, and what the strength this relation is. It hypothesized that more similar to Ainsworth's Baltimore study (Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters, & Wall, 1978) would show stronger associations than diverging from pioneering study. To create conceptually homogeneous sets studies, experts divided into 9 groups...
The current review is a quantitative meta-analysis of the available empirical evidence related to parent-preschooler reading and several outcome measures. In selecting studies be included in this meta-analysis, we focused on examining frequency book preschoolers. results support hypothesis that measures such as language growth, emergent literacy, achievement. overall effect size d = .59 indicates explains about 8% variance reading, particular, affects acquisition written register. not...
Two extant evolutionary models, biological sensitivity to context theory (BSCT) and differential susceptibility (DST), converge on the hypothesis that some individuals are more susceptible than others both negative (risk-promoting) positive (development-enhancing) environmental conditions. These models contrast with currently dominant perspective personal vulnerability risk: diathesis stress/dual risk. We review challenges this based emerging data from evolutionary, developmental, health...
Evidence that adverse rearing environments exert negative effects particularly on children presumed “vulnerable” for temperamental or genetic reasons may actually reflect something else: heightened susceptibility to the of risky and beneficial supportive environments. Building Belsky's (1997 , 2005 ) evolutionary-inspired proposition some are more affected—both better worse—by their experiences than others, we consider recent work child vulnerability, including involving measured genes,...

In a quantitative meta-analysis, the effects of phonological awareness training on reading were shown. homogeneous set U.S. studies with randomized or matched design, combined effect sizes for and d = 0.73 (r .34, N 739) 0.70 .33, 745), respectively. Thus, experimentally manipulated explains about 12% variance in word-identification skills. The size long-term influence was much smaller, 0.16 .08, 1,180). Programs combining letter more effective than purely training. Furthermore, stronger...
VAN IJZENDOORN, MARINUs H., and KROONENBERG, PIETER M. Cross-cultural Patterns of Attachment: A Meta-Analysis the Strange Situation. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1988, 59, 147-156. Crosscultural research using Ainsworth's Situation tends to rely on incomplete information concentrate individual rather than aggregated samples. In this study, a wider perspective is taken by examining almost 2,000 classifications obtained in 8 different countries. Differences similarities between distributions samples are...
Previous studies have related aggression and other externalizing problems in children to either dopamine D4 receptor polymorphisms or harsh insensitive parenting. In this study it was determined whether the combination of DRD4 7-repeat polymorphism maternal insensitivity predicted significantly more behavior preschoolers. The results pointed a gene-environment interaction effect: associated with (oppositional, aggressive) behaviors, but only presence polymorphism. increase behaviors allele...
