Title: Contributions of Coparenting and Infant Temperament to Toddler Socioemotional Functioning
Abstract: Infant temperament is the foundation of socioemotional functioning. Coparenting also plays a role in subsequent toddler adjustment. Analyses of 182 dual-earner new parents and their children revealed that supportive coparenting predicts lower levels of toddler dysregulation and externalizing, even after controlling for infant negative affectivity.

Title: Profiles of Emotionality and Regulation in Preschoolers: Differential Associations with Externalizing and Internalizing Problems and Maternal Socialization
Abstract: This study investigated how different emotionality and regulation profiles and maternal socialization contribute to internalizing and externalizing problems. Using a cluster analysis, four emotionality-regulation profiles were identified, and children with different profiles significantly differed on internalizing and externalizing behaviors, with difference on mothers’ depressive symptoms and maternal support.
