This study used longitudinal cross-lagged modeling to examine reciprocal relations between maternal depression and child behavior problems. Data were drawn from 3,119 children (40% Hispanic, 30% African American, 20% White, and 10% other) from the Family and Child Experiences Survey of 2009 (a nationally representative sample of children served by Head Start). Results documented reciprocal relations between maternal depression and child behavior problems across early childhood (i.e., child age 3-5). Furthermore, the effect of child behavior problems on maternal depression was moderated by child race/ethnicity during children's first year in Head Start, such that the negative effect of child behavior problems on African American mothers' depression was more pronounced compared to Hispanics and other racial/ethnic groups.

Protective factors may contribute to resilience and reduce the risk of these adult health outcomes. This study aims to determine if the presence of a protective adult can mitigate the association between childhood abuse and negative adult health outcomes.

Pedagogy Does Not Necessarily Constrain Exploration: Investigating Preschoolers' Information Search During Instructed Exploration.

Pedagogy is seen as a "double-edged sword": it efficiently conveys information but may constrain the exploration of the causal structure of objects, suggesting that pedagogy and exploration are mutually exclusive learning processes. However, research on children's active involvement in concept acquisition implies that pedagogical signals could facilitate exploratory behavior, indicating a complementary relationship. To understand the link between them, we designed an object exploration task for preschool-aged children featuring between-subject conditions of pedagogical exploration or pedagogical demonstration.
