Moral Panic at the Disco
This concept describes an exaggerated collective fear of youth behaviors or media that pose little actual threat.
What is moral panic?
This model explains how multiple risk factors add up linearly, with each additional risk increasing the likelihood of problems.
What is the cumulative risk model?
This theory views development as messy, non-linear, and driven by variability and flexibility, especially during transitions.
What is Dynamic Systems Theory?
This traditional model explains psychopathology as the product of predisposing vulnerabilities combined with precipitating stressors.
What is the diathesis-stress model?
This self-regulatory process allows children to inhibit a dominant response or activate a subdominant one.
What is inhibitory control?
This term describes the mistaken belief that some coping or regulation strategies are always good or always bad.
What is the fallacy of uniform efficacy?
These emotions emerge later in development, require self-awareness and evaluation, and include shame, guilt, and pride.
What are self-conscious emotions?
This attachment style develops from consistent, sensitive caregiving and helps children use parents as a secure base.
What is secure attachment?
This form of child maltreatment involves the failure to provide food, shelter, clothing, or supervision.
What is neglect?
Markey & Ferguson (2017) define this term as adults’ exaggerated fear toward younger generations’ habits and culture
What is juvenoia?
Lecture emphasized that not all children facing high adversity develop problems, showing there is large variation in outcomes (the answer is a noun).
What is resilience?
The ability of parent–child dyads to switch among a wide range of emotions during interactions.
What is emotional flexibility?
According to lecture, individuals with traits like negative emotionality or physiological reactivity may thrive in enriched contexts but struggle in adverse ones.
What is differential susceptibility?
According to lecture, this trait reflects the tendency to control attention and behavior, including focusing, shifting, and inhibiting.
What is effortful control?
According to Bonanno & Burton, regulatory flexibility consists of three components: context sensitivity, repertoire, and this ability to adjust strategies over time.
What is feedback responsiveness?
This self-conscious emotion focuses on a negative evaluation of specific behavior and motivates reparative action.
What is guilt?
This attachment subtype is considered the most problematic, involving both comfort and fear, and predicts the highest risk for psychopathology.
What is disorganized attachment?
Lecture emphasized that this is the single most important protective factor against child maltreatment.
What is social support?
This effect describes how older generations view their own upbringing as ‘just right,’ while newer trends are seen as too much or too little.
What is the Goldilocks effect?
These factors decrease the likelihood of problems and foster positive adaptation, even under adversity.
What are protective factors?
This term refers to the range of emotional states that mother–adolescent dyads display during conflicts, with higher levels linked to better adjustment.
What is dyadic variability?
This ‘for-better-and-for-worse’ pattern describes how the same individuals can show the worst outcomes in negative contexts and the best outcomes in positive ones.
What is the differential susceptibility pattern?
Children with stronger self-regulation go on to show higher math achievement, better social skills, and fewer externalizing problems.
What are benefits of self-regulation?
Lecture notes emphasized that resilience is not about using a single ‘best’ strategy, but about adapting the right behavior in the right situation at the right time.
What is regulatory flexibility?
Research shows this emotion is consistently linked with depression, anxiety, and aggression, while guilt is more often protective.
What is shame?
Meta-analytic findings show insecure attachment is significantly linked to both of these kinds of problems across childhood and adolescence.
What are internalizing and externalizing problems?
Meta-analytic evidence shows these factors—antisocial behavior, psychiatric problems, health issues, and parental history of maltreatment—are the strongest predictors of neglect.
What are parent-related risk factors?
This article challenges myths that video games cause obesity, desensitization, or aggression, instead showing social and cognitive benefits.
What is Markey et al. (2020)?
Development emerges from continuous, transactional feedback between children and their contexts in a unified theory of development.
Who is Sameroff (2010)?
Treatment for aggressive youth was most effective when mother–child dyads could regulate and move out of negativity, regardless of how much negativity they expressed.
Who is De Rubeis & Granic (2012)?
Research shows that negatively emotional infants, physiologically reactive children, and carriers of certain alleles are not just vulnerable but also more malleable, for better and for worse.
Who is Belsky & Pluess (2009)?
This meta-analysis of over 200,000 children showed that self-regulation predicts academic success, social skills, mental health, and healthy living well into adulthood.
Who is Robson et al. (2020)?
Findings showed that people cope better when they can flexibly match strategies to the situation, maintain a broad repertoire, and adjust based on feedback.
Who are Bonanno & Burton (2013)?
Findings show that there is no single framework for emotional development; instead, theories emphasize biological preparedness, functionality, dynamic systems, and sociocultural shaping.
Who are Buss et al. (2019)?
Findings from this meta-analysis of nearly 200 studies showed that insecure attachment predicted depression, anxiety, and behavior problems with moderate to strong effect sizes.
Who are Madigan et al. (2016)?
Findings showed that child maltreatment arises from interacting vulnerabilities across ontogenic, microsystem, exosystem, and macrosystem levels.
Who is Belsky (1980)?
This commentary argues we should move beyond panic about TikTok and highlight children’s joy, creativity, and agency.
What is Rodriguez & Zhao (2024)
Resilience is a dynamic, systemic capacity shaped by culture, with a ‘shortlist’ of key protective systems such as caregiving, intelligence, and effective communities.
Who is Masten (2014)?
Adolescents in high-decreasing variability dyads showed lower aggression and better relationship quality over time compared to low-variability dyads.
Who is Van der Giessen et al. (2013)?
This review critiques the field for ignoring enrichment, focusing only on dysfunction, and missing positive competence outcomes, calling for better measurement and evolutionary framing.
Who is Belsky & Pluess (2009)?
Findings from lecture emphasized that behavioral inhibition, combined with high inhibitory control and poor attention shifting, predicts anxiety symptoms in children.
Who is White et al. (2011)?
Research demonstrated that invisible social support often reduces distress more than visible support because it protects recipients’ sense of competence.
Who are Zee & Bolger (2019)?
Research demonstrates that shame, guilt, and pride play central roles in psychopathology: shame predicts maladjustment, guilt can be protective, and hubristic pride fosters narcissism and externalizing problems.
Who are Muris & Meesters (2017)?
Results showed that disorganized attachment was linked to both internalizing (d ≈ .47) and externalizing (d ≈ .58) problems, contradicting earlier reviews that downplayed these links.
Who are Madigan et al. (2016)?
Research demonstrated that parental antisocial behavior, psychiatric problems, and parental histories of maltreatment were the strongest predictors of child neglect across 36 studies.
Who is Mulder et al. (2018)?
