Summary: The study found that children who exhibited high BI in early childhood showed more socially anxious behavior at ages 10 and 13, with ER strategies playing an important mediating role. Parenting behavior moderated the pathway between early BI and ER strategies, influencing children's future social anxiety outcomes.

Summary: The study examined the relationship between negative parenting and maternal and child temperamental characteristics based on Belsky's model. Results showed that child temperamental characteristics, maternal negative affect, and effortful control were related to coercive parenting, while maternal SES and negative affect were related to abusive parenting. Maternal extraversion interacted with child's persistence to predict coercive parenting.

Summary: This study found that dysregulated fear is associated with child anxiety symptoms, but not all children with dysregulated fear develop an anxiety disorder. The findings also highlight the importance of considering child sex and using multiple informants to understand the associations with temperamental risk for child anxiety.

Summary: The fear of humans in gestating gilts is related to their stress levels, which can influence the personality and behavior of their offspring. Early life and gestational experiences play a significant role in shaping the behavioral and physical development of the offspring.

Summary: Behavioral inhibition is a temperament that can be identified in early childhood and increases the risk of developing anxiety in late childhood and adolescence. However, not all children with behavioral inhibition go on to develop anxiety disorders, and research has identified within-child and socio-contextual factors that support different developmental pathways. By studying moderators of behavioral inhibition, we can better understand why some children develop anxiety while others remain resilient.

Summary: Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a prevalent but under-treated condition among young adults. This study investigated the potential risk factors for GAD and found that childhood attachment patterns and behavioral inhibition, maternal anxiety in adolescence, and intolerance of uncertainty in emerging adulthood all contribute to GAD symptoms in adulthood.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the effects of administering bovine-appeasing substance (BAS) during weaning on the growth, stress, behavior, and response to vaccination of Nellore calves. The results showed that calves treated with BAS had improved body weight, behavior, and response to vaccination.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between maternal attachment, perinatal depression, and emotional wellbeing. The findings showed that maternal attachment, specifically the Non-Autonomous states of mind, was associated with higher cortisol levels during pregnancy and higher depressive symptoms throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period. Mothers with depression and Non-Autonomous states of mind also reported higher parenting stress after childbirth. There was no significant intergenerational concordance between attachment classifications. Further research is needed to understand the role of maternal attachment in perinatal depression and emotional wellbeing.

Summary: This study found that behavioral inhibition in toddlerhood is positively related to social competence and school adjustment in late adolescence in China, with peer relationships in middle childhood serving as a protective factor for depression in inhibited children. These results highlight the unique functional meaning of behavioral inhibition in the Chinese context from a developmental perspective.

Summary: This study found that children with ADHD have lower effortful control, higher negative affectivity, and lower awakening cortisol levels compared to controls, but no difference in surgency-extraversion. Furthermore, the poor emotional and cognitive self-regulation associated with ADHD symptoms is not related to the under-arousal typically seen in ADHD.

Summary: The principal aim of this study is to explore the moderating role of temperament in the relationship between parenting style and the reactive and proactive aggressive behavior of 8-year-old children. The results reveal that different gender and temperament characteristics of children result in different reactions to parenting styles, and certain factors may increase or decrease children's aggression.

Summary: The study found that a stable pattern of behavioral inhibition can predict an increase in adolescent worry dysregulation, which in turn can further increase young adult anxiety during a stressful phase of the pandemic.

Summary: This study examines the mechanisms and treatment directionality of early interventions for behaviorally inhibited preschoolers. The findings suggest bidirectional effects between child anxiety and parent accommodation during and after intervention, emphasizing the importance of targeting parent and child factors simultaneously in early interventions.

Summary: This study used latent class growth analysis to explore dynamic changes in avoidance behaviors, identifying three distinct classes and finding that the high and increasing avoidance group exhibited the highest physiological reactivity and shyness, along with the lowest physiological regulation.

Summary: The Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) is a widely used protocol for activating stress responses, but the COVID-19 pandemic has made in-person assessments difficult. This study validated a completely remote, online version of the TSST for children, showing that it is consistent with in-person responses and can effectively assess reactivity of the HPA axis and other stress systems in a remote environment.

Summary: This study examined the impact of early life adversity on levels of proinflammatory cytokines and cellular cytokine responses in youth. It found that PI youth showed a larger inflammatory response than NA youth under stimulation with PMA/IO. Sex differences were also observed in circulating levels of IL-6 and TNF alpha.

Summary: This study found that greater cortisol reactivity in previously institutionalized youth predicted increases in socially anxious behavior during social stress situations, but was negatively associated with concurrent social anxiety behavior. While increased cortisol reactivity may help with behavioral control in social situations in the short-term, it may exacerbate socially anxious behavior in institutionalized youth over time. No significant associations were found for non-adopted youth.

Summary: This study examined the recalibration of the HPA axis stress response in youths who had experienced early life stress, and how it predicts socioemotional adjustment. Results showed that for youths with early life stress, increased cortisol reactivity during puberty was associated with poorer socioemotional functioning.
