“…In these two studies, we measured stability in language and internalizing and externalizing behavior problems, both at the zero-order level and in the context of path models that exposed unique stabilities of these variables. Stability has many variations and interpretations (see Bornstein & Bornstein, 2008; Hartmann et al, 2011). Kagan (1971) distinguished and defined two central kinds of stability.…”

“…Secondary to these principal pathways questions, the two studies presented here also provided data on the stabilities in language and internalizing and externalizing behavior problems as well as their concurrent covariations. Stability describes consistency in the relative ranks of individuals in a group with respect to some characteristic through time, and covariation describes the association of distinct constructs at any given time (Bornstein & Bornstein, 2008; Hartmann, Pelzel, & Abbott, 2011). Stability and covariation constitute important developmental issues in their own right.…”

Language and internalizing and externalizing behavioral adjustment: Developmental pathways from childhood to adolescence

Two independent prospective longitudinal studies that cumulatively spanned the age interval from 4 years to 14 years used multi-wave designs to investigate developmental associations between language and behavioral adjustment (internalizing and externalizing behavior problems). Altogether 224 children, their mothers, and teachers provided data. Series of nested path analysis models were used to determine the most parsimonious and plausible paths among the three constructs over and above stability in each across age and their covariation at each age. In both studies, children with poorer language skills in early childhood had more internalizing behavior problems in later childhood and in early adolescence. These developmental paths between language and behavioral adjustment held after taking into consideration children’s nonverbal intellectual functioning, maternal verbal intelligence, education, parenting knowledge, and social desirability bias, as well as family socioeconomic status, and they applied equally to girls and boys.

“…Stability is defined as consistency across time or context in the relative standing of individuals in a group. Stability and continuity are statistically independent and reflect conceptually interesting and distinct realms of development (Bornstein & Bornstein, 2008; McCall, 1981; Wohlwill, 1973). When mothers are assessed with their first child and separately at a later time with their second child, the mean levels of the emotional interactions might be the same (continuity).…”

The developmental science literature is riven with respect to (a) parental similar versus different treatment of siblings and (b) sibling similarities and differences. Most methodologies in the field are flawed or confounded. To address these issues, this study employed a within-family longitudinal design to examine developmental processes of continuity and stability in emotional interactions in mothers with their firstborn and secondborn 5-month-old infants (ns=61 mothers and 122 infants). As independently rated by the Emotional Availability Scales, mothers’ observed and coded behavioral expressions of sensitivity, structuring, nonintrusiveness, and nonhostility were consistent in group mean levels between firstborns and secondborns and (largely) between daughters and sons. Neither firstborns and secondborns, nor girls and boys, differed in their responsiveness or involvement of mother. However, mothers’ emotional interactions with their firstborn and secondborn children were uncorrelated, as were firstborn and secondborn infants’ interactions with their mother. These group-mean consistencies and individual-differences inconsistencies in emotional interactions are discussed in relation to the shared and nonshared lives of siblings in the same family.

“…The first three years of life are of critical importance for the development of the brain, language abilities, and cognitive skills (Bornstein, 2015;Bradley et al, 1989;Rodriguez et al, 2009;Stiles, 2000). Research indicates that children's home literacy environments (HLE), particularly within the first few years of life, are robust predictors of early linguistic and cognitive development (e.g., Griffin & Morrison, 1997;Liebeskind, Piotrowski, Lapierre, & Linebarger, 2014;Payne, Whitehurst, & Angell, 1994;Rodriguez et al, 2009).…”

The past few years have witnessed a rapid increase in the use of screen media by adults and children alike. Despite the widespread use of technology in Saudi Arabia, previous findings on Saudi children’s screen media use have been inconsistent and contradictory. The current study provides a comprehensive picture of screen media use among young children in Saudi Arabia. It explored the home screen media environment of 220 children aged 1 to 3 years, whose primary caregivers completed an online survey. Findings showed that the vast majority of these children had started using screens before the age of 2 years. On average, Saudi toddlers watched television for about 2 hours a day and used mobile media devices for about 1 hour a day. Their overall screen time was about 3 hours a day. Results also indicated that media use rates among Saudi toddlers are higher than those reported in the United States and the United Kingdom. The most viewed content genre on mobile media was children’s songs. Understanding children’s patterns of media use is an important first step in guiding the development of research-driven recommendations for all stakeholders on the use of screen media by young children.
