Parenting Influences

AbstractA considerable body of research has linked parenting to the development of children's self-regulation. However, few studies have considered different domains of self-regulation, the effects of early caregiving behaviors, and whether or not parenting influences children equally. Towards this, the present investigation tested how early maternal insensitivity was associated with difficulties in children's effortful control in early childhood and their regulation of negative emotions during the early school years. Further, we tested whether children's resting vagal tone may operate as a susceptibility factor, consistent with differential susceptibility models. The sample included 220 pairs of mothers and their children who were assessed at 18 months, 3.5 years and 5 years of age. Laboratory visits consisted of observational paradigms and survey assessments. Early maternal insensitivity at 18 months of age forecasted difficulties with effortful control at age 3.5. Moreover, effortful control at age 3.5 was associated with greater anger, but not sadness, regulation at age 5. Consistent with differential susceptibility, children's resting vagal tone at 18 months of age moderated the role of early caregiving on children's effortful control. The findings suggest that low resting vagal tone may operate as a differential susceptibility factor in process models testing associations between early caregiving environments and children's self-regulation.

Statistical Criteria

Why people differ in their affective responses to external events is essential to ourunderstanding of personality, human development, and mental disorders. Genes explain asubstantial portion of these differences. Specifically, genes influencing the serotonin systemare hypothesized to be differential susceptibility factors, determining a person’s reactivity toboth positive and negative environments. We tested whether genetic variation in the serotonintransporter (5-HTTLPR, SLC6A4) is a differential susceptibility factor for daily events.Participants (N = 326) completed smartphone questionnaires four times a day over four to fivedays, measuring stressors, uplifts, positive and negative affect. Formal statistical criteria ofdifferential susceptibility were applied in a multilevel analysis framework. The 5-HTTLPRfulfilled all criteria of a differential susceptibility factor, marked by a disordinal geneenvironmentinteraction in the absence of both gene-environment correlation and direct geneticeffects on mood. Follow-up analyses revealed that positive affect in carriers of the short allele(S) was less contingent on both uplifts and stressors. Our study confirms the serotonin system’sgeneral role in susceptibility to immediate events and highlights the need to assess the wholespectrum of experiences.

Multigroup Confirmatory Factor Analysis

We examined the cross-cultural equivalence of a widely used instrument that assesses perceived parental rearing, the EMBU-C, among native Dutch and immigrant adolescents living in The Netherlands. The results of a multigroup confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the factor structure of the EMBU-C, consisting of three latent factors (Warmth, Rejection, and Overprotection), and reliabilities of these scales are similar in both samples. These findings lend further support for the factorial and construct validity of this instrument. The comparison of perceived child rearing between native Dutch and immigrant adolescents showed cultural differences in only one of the assessed dimensions: Immigrant adolescents perceive their parents as more overprotective than do Dutch adolescents.
