“…IIRTV is the relatively short-term trial-to-trial reaction time fluctuation within individuals when performing a given cognitive task (Weissman et al, 2006). IIRTV is considered an effective indicator of attentional control in many previous studies since it can manifest the efficiency and steadiness of attentional maintenance of specific goals in continuous attentional processes (Adleman et al, 2016;Esterman et al, 2013;Isbell et al, 2018;Kofler et al, 2013;Peng et al, 2021).…”

Children with better attentional control tend to display more consistent responses to task‐related goals, which manifest as lower IIRTV, while children with deficient attentional control tend to show more unstable responses to task‐related goals, which may manifest as greater IIRTV (Adleman et al, 2016; Isbell et al, 2018; Kofler et al, 2013).…”

Therefore, lower IIRTV is commonly thought to represent better attentional control, while greater IIRTV is thought to reflect delayed or deficient attentional control (Adleman et al, 2016; Esterman et al, 2013; Isbell et al, 2018; Kofler et al, 2013; Peng et al, 2021; Weissman et al, 2006).

Deficits in attentional control or inhibitory control are distinct features of childhood aggressive behaviors. Lower attentional control or inhibitory control is considered to predict more aggressive behaviors, while few studies have documented the possible predictive effects of aggressive behaviors on attentional control or inhibitory control. The present study examined the bidirectional relations between aggressive behaviors and both inhibitory control and attentional control in 169 Chinese primary school children (75 girls, Mage = 7.15, SDage = 0.33), annually for 3 years starting at age 7. The No‐go accuracy on a Go/No‐go task was used as the index of inhibitory control, and the intraindividual reaction time variability (IIRTV) of correct Go trials indicated attentional control. The aggressive behaviors subscale of the child behavior checklist–Chinese version was used to assess the children's aggressive behaviors. The results demonstrated a significant and stable predictive effect of previous aggressive behaviors on subsequent attentional control, with more aggressive behaviors predicting greater IIRTV at both the between‐child and within‐child levels. No significant effects of inhibitory control or attentional control on aggressive behaviors or sex‐specific patterns were found. The findings suggest the negative impact of childhood aggressive behaviors on attentional control and underscore the importance of early prevention and intervention for childhood aggressive behaviors.

“…Wearable devices also contribute to this feasibility (Ometov et al, 2021), as does increasing access to the digital breadcrumbs of everyday life created through online browsing and computer-mediated communication Lydon-Staley, Barnett et al, 2019;Torous et al, 2017). Relevant, too, is the appreciation that intensive repeated measures data are abundant in traditional forms of data collection, found by considering single trials on reaction time tasks (Peng et al, 2021) or by zooming into brain signal fluctuations on the level of seconds (Sajda et al, 2012) instead of aggregating such data at minute and hour levels. In parallel to the increased accessibility of intensive repeated measures data, analytic methods to study dynamics are becoming more prevalent in the field, including multilevel models (e.g., , time series models (e.g., Ariens et al, 2020), network models (e.g., Beltz & Gates, 2017), dynamic structural equation models (e.g., , and growth models (e.g., Grimm et al, 2016).…”

Communication research often focuses on processes of communication, such as how messages impact individuals over time or how interpersonal relationships develop and change. Despite their importance, the dynamics of these processes are often implicit in much theoretical and empirical work in communication. Intensive repeated measures data are becoming increasingly feasible to collect and, when coupled with appropriate analytic frameworks, enable researchers to better explore and articulate the dynamics underlying communication processes. To facilitate the study of dynamic processes, we (a) describe how intensive repeated measures data and analytic frameworks may be combined to articulate the dynamics of phenomena in communication research and (b) discuss considerations of dynamics when designing studies. We are excited about the future of dynamics in communication research, and we look forward to the iterations between empirical tests and theory revision that will occur as researchers delve into studying the dynamics of communication processes.

Intraindividual reaction time variability (IIV), which serves as an index of attentional control, was related to externalizing problems. However, it remains unknown whether children's IIV interacts with family functioning, including family adaptability and cohesion, to predict their externalizing problems. The present study examined this concern. Participants included 168 (M = 7.35 years, SD = .48; 48% boys) and 155 (M = 8.32 years, SD = .45; 49% boys) children at the rst (T1) and second (after one year, T2) measurements, respectively. At T1, a anker task was used to assess children's IIV. Mothers reported the Chinese version of the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scales and the Chinese version of the Child Behavior Checklist. At T2, mothers reported children's externalizing problems again. Results indicated that family functioning negatively and IIV positively correlated with children's externalizing problems. Furthermore, family functioning interacted with children's IIV to predict their externalizing problems concurrently and longitudinally. Speci cally, low family functioning combined with greater IIV predicted prospective externalizing problems. Findings suggested that better attentional control (indexed by low IIV) may buffer the negative effect of poor family functioning.
