Title: Predictive Utility of Early Warning Indicators In Education
Abstract: Failure in the ninth grade often leads to dropping out of high school. Reports have shown first-time freshman that were not promoted to the tenth grade on time had a dropout rate between 60% and 80%. The predictive utility of early warning indicators versus the continuous predictors that are typically used was studied.

Title: Maternal Emotion Socialization and Child Outcomes: The Moderating Role of Race
Abstract: Mothers significantly influence child emotion socialization; however, little attention has been paid to how cultural differences in race may influence children’s responses to maternal emotion socialization practices. This study includes race as a moderator when considering the maternal impact on child emotion-related outcomes one year later.

Title: Executive Function in Early Childhood: The Association with Maternal Psychological Health and Child Emotionality
Abstract: This study examined the moderating role of children’s positive and negative emotionality in the association between maternal psychological health (depressive symptoms and anxiety) and child executive function (EF). The results indicate that maternal anxiety is related to deficits in EF only when a child showed a low level of positive emotionality.

Title: Environmental and Individual Factors Associated with Child Emotion Regulation
Abstract: This study investigated children’s ability to regulate emotion under influence of both environmental (maternal socialization and depression) and individual factors (child emotionality). Results indicated that it is not one single environmental or individual factor but the interplay between both that is crucial to child emotion regulation capacity.
