A Longitudinal Examination Of Bedtime Routines And Sleep In Toddlers, Amanda Prokasky
A Longitudinal Examination Of Bedtime Routines And Sleep In Toddlers, Amanda Prokasky
College of Education and Human Sciences: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Ample research has examined the impacts of sufficient and high-quality sleep on children’s health, development, and well-being (Chen, Beydoun, & Wang, 2008; Gregory & Sadeh, 2012; Touchette et al., 2009), yet less research has focused on the factors that contribute to sufficient and high-quality sleep in early childhood. The bedtime routine is one environmental influence on children’s sleep that has received little attention in the literature base and therefore is the focus of the current study.
In a sample of 399 30-month old toddlers studied over the course of one year, three aims were investigated: the within-age consistency of the …
Parent-Focused Interventions In Economically Developing Countries, Jen Jackson, Syeda Kashfee Ahmed, Toby Carslake, Petra Lietz
Parent-Focused Interventions In Economically Developing Countries, Jen Jackson, Syeda Kashfee Ahmed, Toby Carslake, Petra Lietz
Dr Jen Jackson
The authors conducted a scoping review of Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) interventions in economically developing countries between 1998 and 2017, aimed at improving children’s learning in the years before school. The review identified 37 parent-focused studies from 19 countries which provide an evidence base for parent-focused interventions that have both depth and geographical breadth. This policy note outlines characteristics of these interventions which contribute to changes in developmental outcomes for children. It found that of all ECEC interventions, the largest body of effectiveness evidence is available for parent-focused programs.
What Parents Value Matters: Examining The Association Between Cultural Values, Parenting Styles/Practices, And Child Outcomes, Chen-Yun Wang
What Parents Value Matters: Examining The Association Between Cultural Values, Parenting Styles/Practices, And Child Outcomes, Chen-Yun Wang
Theses and Dissertations
Researchers have identified significant relationships between parenting styles and child outcomes. However, these associations might vary in different cultures because parenting behaviors could link to cultural values. Additionally, understanding the cultural values of parents would help researchers better understand the reasons of parents’ behaviors. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between parental Asian values, parenting styles, parenting practices, and child outcomes. Parents of preschool-age children (N = 273) from Taiwan completed a series of parenting values and parenting behaviors questionnaires. Teachers rated child prosocial behaviors, modesty, sociability, and impulse control. Results revealed that some domains …
How Does Living In Poverty Affect Infant And Toddlers' Development?, Megan Aalgaard
How Does Living In Poverty Affect Infant And Toddlers' Development?, Megan Aalgaard
Graduate Teacher Education
Research findings showed that significant development takes place during the infant and toddler years of children’s lives, however, children who lived in poverty were often faced with many challenges and life adversities that affected development (Brewer, 2007). Children’s language development, physical health, cognitive development, and social-emotional skills were often negatively impacted when children grew up and lived in poverty (Brito, 2017). Also, distress among parents from the exposure to poverty negatively affected the quality of parent and child interactions (Evans & Kim, 2013). This paper synthesized various available research on poverty’s negative effects on children’s development, as well as discussed …
Observing, Understanding, And Treating Disordered Attachment Patterns: A Dance Movement Therapy Perspective, Arika Schultz
Observing, Understanding, And Treating Disordered Attachment Patterns: A Dance Movement Therapy Perspective, Arika Schultz
Expressive Therapies Capstone Theses
This literature review discusses attachment patterns formed in infancy and its implications for early childhood development and later life functioning. The impact of attachment patterns on the quality of a child’s interpersonal relationship, body action tendencies, emotion regulation and fear response patterns are explored. The attachment process as facilitator of these patterns is revealed as well as the disruption of healthy and adaptive attachment bonds as predictors of psychopathologies. Healthy neuropsychobiological development is shown to be facilitated by the nonverbal communications between the right brains of the mother-infant dyad. Mismatching in these nonverbal communications are shown to thwart the child’s …
Functional Analysis Of Excessive Crying In Infancy: Two Empirical Case Studies, Jamie L. Hirsh
Functional Analysis Of Excessive Crying In Infancy: Two Empirical Case Studies, Jamie L. Hirsh
Dissertations
Excessive crying and infantile colic account for a significant percentage of caregivers’ calls and visits to the pediatrician early in infancy. Despite myriad research studies across medical and psychological disciplines over the years, there is no conclusive evidence regarding a cause for excessive crying in early infancy; as a result, there is no gold standard for treatment. The goal of this study is to develop and test an experimental functional analysis methodology to determine a cause for excessive crying in infants. The study involves the development of an interview and paper-based functional assessment tool for excessive crying in infancy, as …

Most of the literature examined for this research involved the comparison of positive and negative effects of screen use over various time frames. No conclusions were …
The Extensive And Intensive Margins Of Time Investments On The Skill Development Of Children And Adolescents, Yi Rachel Tan
The Extensive And Intensive Margins Of Time Investments On The Skill Development Of Children And Adolescents, Yi Rachel Tan
Dissertations and Theses Collection (Open Access)
The literature on time investments and skill development has focused on estimating the intensive margins of time investments; This study explores whether including extensive margins might provide additional insights. The extensive and intensive margins of maternal time investments and child time investments (or child self-investments) in three categories of activities (educational, structured and unstructured) on the cognitive and non-cognitive skill development of children (6 to 10 years) and adolescents (11 to 15 years) are quantified by fitting skill production functions with ordinary least squares and family fixed effects specifications. Cognitive skills are assessed by three achievement test scores which indicate …
Role Of Spatial Ability In Musical Instrument Choice: Implications For Music Education, Tevis L. Tucker
Role Of Spatial Ability In Musical Instrument Choice: Implications For Music Education, Tevis L. Tucker
Honors Undergraduate Theses
The intent of this thesis is to explore the relationship between spatial ability and the wide range of musical instruments musicians play. Existing literature has established a link between musicianship and improved spatial ability, but researchers have yet to look at how the spatial makeup of different musical instruments may, in turn, reveal unique levels of spatial proficiency from one instrumentalist to the next. This study was formatted as an online survey that included a music experience scale, a demographics scale, and two measures of spatial ability: the Card Rotations Test (CRT) and the Paper Folding Test (PFT). Participants who …

Childhood And Trauma: The Effects Of Adverse Childhood Experiences On The Brain, Behavior, And Learning In The Elementary School Classroom, Aeryn Aguilar
Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects
A variety of studies have been conducted on how trauma, caused by emotional, physical, or verbal abuse, impact children’s lives. Many of the studies which involved observations and assessments were done with the preexisting knowledge that these children had been through a traumatic experience. Instead of looking at behavior of known cases, this study’s goal is to find out whether or not children’s observable behaviors can predict cases of trauma. For example, is acting out or defiance a key sign of trauma or is it part of the typical development for the elementary school-age group? This thesis takes into account …
