AI Article Synopsis

  • Patterson's coercion model explains how bad behavior in kids and poor parenting can create a cycle that makes things worse for both.
  • The study looked at how harsh parenting by mostly mothers affects kids' problems with behavior, attention, and emotions from ages 3 to 7.
  • Results showed that both parenting and children's behavior influence each other, meaning fixing parenting issues could help kids who are struggling emotionally or behaviorally.

Article Abstract

Patterson's coercion model describes a gradual escalation in maladaptive parent-child transactions whereby externalizing behaviors lead to increases in maladaptive parenting and vice versa. The current study investigates the role of (predominantly mother-reported) harsh parenting practices in the within-person development of conduct problems, hyperactive/inattentive behaviors, and emotional problems. A random-intercept cross-lagged panel model was fit across ages 3, 5, and 7 (N = 14,037, 49% female, 84% White) using the UK population-representative Millennium Cohort Study. Findings support Patterson's coercion model, providing evidence for reciprocal within-family relations between parenting practices and child behaviors. They suggest the importance of addressing parenting difficulties in families where children present with socioemotional difficulties in order to help prevent the accumulation of additional issues.

These interactions are not only influenced by child and contextual factors but also by the mother's personality traits and strain. In this study, we investigated the relation between maternal factors such as personality, depressive symptoms, or experiencing of emotions, and (i) children's early cognitive development and (ii) interaction patterns in a sample of 116 mother-child dyads (mean child age = 18.

Background: South Asians may be particularly susceptible to premature myocardial infarction (MI) owing both to conventional cardiovascular risk factors and practices distinctive to South Asia. Identifying modifiable risk factors for MI in these populations could inform prevention strategies. We have, therefore, studied conventional risk factors and other characteristics in relation to occurrence of first MI in Bangladesh.

Background: The institutional standard follow-up schedule for patients undergoing spinal instrumentation and fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is return to clinic at 6-weeks and 3 months post-procedure for radiographs. COVID-19 prompted a change in this practice and most routine post-op visits were performed virtually during that time. The purpose of this study is to estimate the cost and benefit of in-person visits to inform the relative value of in-person follow-up using data from the year prior to COVID changes.
