Which behaviors are stable patterns and which were reported only during a difficult transition?
The researchers measured irritability and positive and harsh parenting across several childhood ages before examining later outcomes.
Who was studied?
Participants in the Québec Longitudinal Study of Child Development.
Age / stage: Preschool to adolescence
Read with three questions
- When were parenting and irritability assessed relative to the later adolescent outcomes?
- What changed within families over time, and which differences were already present?
- Which behaviors are stable patterns and which were reported only during a difficult transition?
Keep the limits in view
Following participants over time helps examine sequence, but does not eliminate selection, reporting differences or unmeasured family circumstances.
