Maternal and paternal gentle guidance and young children's compliance from a within-family perspective

Article Abstract:

A family cleanup paradigm is employed to assess young children's compliance and parental guidance from a within-family perspective. It is found that mothers use more gentle guidance with children than fathers and both parents use more gentle guidance with older siblings than toddler siblings, with older siblings revealing more committed compliance to parental guidance than toddler siblings.

Preschool children's interactions with friends and older siblings: Relationship specificity and joint contributions to problem behavior

Article Abstract:

Preschool children were observed to examine the extent to which friend and sibling relationship quality jointly contributes to children's behavioral adjustment. The results showed that friendship dyads, on average, engaged in more complex social play and more intense conflict (but only during free play), whereas sibling dyads were characterized by greater asymmetry.

Maternal sensitivity to infant distress and nondistress as predictors of infant-mother attachment security

Article Abstract:

Maternal sensitivity to distress and nondistress were each coded for 357 mother-infant dyads at 6 months and 230 dyads at 15 months from videotaped observations of mother-infant play sessions. The results indicate that protective function of the child-mother attachment relationship may be especially salient during early infancy.
