(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2019-01-11)Objectives The present study examined identity synthesis as a linking pathway in the association between perceived parenting (autonomy support, dependency-oriented psychological control, and achievement-oriented psychological ... -
Assessing validity of retrospective recall of physical activity in individuals with psychosis-like experiences
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-03)Psychosis-like experiences are present in the general population and may indicate risk for more severe forms of psychosis. They are associated with cognitive impairments, potentially impacting ability to accurately complete ... -
Academic Socialization in the Homes of Black and Latino Preschool Children: Research Findings and Future Directions
(Springer International Publishing, 2018)This chapter provides an overview of what is known about how Black and Latino families prepare their young children for school and what remains to be understood. It provides a synthesis of research presented in this volume, ... -
Longitudinal effects of maternal love withdrawal and guilt induction on Chinese American preschoolers’ bullying aggressive behavior
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-01-10)Bullying has been understudied among preschool children, especially those from Chinese American families. Previous research has also neglected the dimensional effects of psychological control on child bullying development. ... -
Individual Differences and Psychosis-Risk Screening: Practical Suggestions to Improve the Scope and Quality of Early Identification
(Frontiers Media S.A, 2019-02-14)Approaches to identifying individuals at clinical high-risk (CHR) for psychosis currently do not carefully weigh considerations around individual differences. Effective identification depends on awareness of factors beyond ... -
