“…Given parents' increased responsibilities, children might receive less or only inconsistent support. Second, young children might have problems to grasp the complexity of the situation and understand the massive changes in everyday life due to their limited cognitive abilities [2,3], leading to perceived insecurity and lack of control. Third, due to their limited self-regulation and emotion regulation capacity [4,5], children might be in special need for support in handling anxiety caused by the disruptive situation.…”

Children’s psychological well-being and problem behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic: An online study during the lockdown period in Germany

As COVID-19 dramatically changes human social life, restrictive lockdown periods to slow the spread of the virus have been suggested to particularly affect the psychological well-being of children and their families. To capture lockdown-related effects on a large scale, the present study used an online questionnaire completed by parents of 3-10-year-olds during the most restrictive lockdown period in Germany thus far (N = 2,672). Parents reported their stress level, their child’s well-being, and their child’s problem behaviors among others. Results showed that most parents and children experienced lockdown-related stress. Concerning children, not being able to meet with friends and family members outside the household emerged as the primary challenge. Older children (7–10 years) evidenced more emotional symptoms as well as less conduct problems and hyperactivity than younger children (3–6 years). Children’s own and their parents’ stress level, the degree to which children missed other children, and children’s age all showed to be negatively related to children’s general life satisfaction. Single parenthood and being an only child were associated with higher levels of child problems. Taken together, these findings shed light on the psychological well-being of children and their families during governmental lockdown measures, as well as on relations between children’s coping and demographic background. They have implications for possible avenues for interventions, inter alia by encouraging policies that facilitate the maintenance of social relationships and focus particularly on children from single parent families, on only children as well as on families in challenging housing situations.

“…Finally, our results show that, with age, children displayed more emotional and less physical transgressions and that, with age, children responded less with no reaction, more with negative evaluations of own transgressions, and more with anger. This relates well to developmental trajectories across early childhood such as the increase of language abilities and the increase of socio-emotional abilities such as perspective-taking (Feldman, 2012;Malti & Noam, 2016). With age, children seem to become more active participants in socio-moral interactions by increasingly engaging in verbal transgressions, increasingly responding to caregiver interventions, and increasingly reflecting on their own behavior.…”

Caregivers' everyday moral reasoning predicts young children's aggressive, prosocial, and moral development: Evidence from ambulatory assessment

Developmental theories have proposed caregiver reactions, in particular caregivers' moral reasoning with their children, as crucial factors in children's developing morality. Yet, empirical evidence is scarce and mainly restricted to laboratory contexts. Here, we used the ambulatory assessment method to investigate how caregiver responses to moral transgressions longitudinally relate to children's emerging moral agency. On the first measurement point, mothers (N = 220) reported on nine consecutive evenings on a moral transgression of their 5‐ to 46‐month‐olds', their emotional and verbal reactions, and how in turn their child reacted. Five months later, mothers reported on their child's aggressive and prosocial (helping, sharing, comforting) behavior. Our results demonstrated that (1) caregiver reasoning supported children's sharing and comforting behavior and was related to lower levels of children's aggressive behavior half a year later, that (2) caregiver reasoning reactions supported children's negative evaluations of their own transgressions while compliance‐based caregiver reactions (e.g., physical interventions, reprimands) were predictive of children's subsequent emotional distress and anger, and that (3) caregiver social conformity and reflective functioning abilities emerged as determinants of caregiver negative moral emotions. Thus, this study uses an innovative methodological approach to uncover key characteristics of caregiver moral reactions supporting the development of morality.

“…Yalnızlık duygusu yaşayan bireylerin kişilik yapılarında bulunan çekingenlik, sosyal kaygı, alınganlık, güvensizlik, benlik saygısının düşük olması gibi özellikler bireysel faktörler arasındadır. Olumsuz kişilik özellikleri bireylerin arkadaşlık ilişkisi kurmakta güçlük çekmelerine ve yalnızlık duygusu yaşamalarına neden olmaktadır (Feldman, 1998) Yalnızlık duygusunun yaşanmasında bireylerin düşük benlik algısı, utangaçlık, çekingenlik gibi kişilik özelliklerinden oluşan bireysel faktörler ile sosyal ilişkilerinin sıklığı, sosyal beceri düzeyleri ve sosyal etkileşim gibi sosyal faktörler etkili olmaktadır. Sosyal faktörler de yalnızlık duygularının oluşumunu ve gelişimini etkilemektedir.…”
