The Actor–Partner Interdependence Model: A model of bidirectional effects in developmental studies

William L. Cook, David A. Kenny · 17 Feb 2005

The actor–partner interdependence model (APIM) is a model of dyadic relationships that integrates a conceptual view of interdependence with the appropriate statistical techniques for measuring and testing it. In this article we present the APIM as a general, longitudinal model for measuring bidirectional effects in interpersonal relationships. We also present three different approaches to testing…

The Developmental Niche: A Conceptualization at the Interface of Child and Culture

Charles M. Super, Sara Harkness · 1 Dec 1986

Anthropological approaches to human development have been oriented primarily to the socialized adult, at the expense of understanding developmental processes.

After a brief historical review, the 'developmental niche' is introduced as a framework for examining the cultural structuring of child development. The…

We provide a practical primer that may be useful for researchers beginning to incorporate GMM analysis into their research. We briefly review basic elements of the standard latent…

Beyond Ponce de Leon and Life Satisfaction: New Directions in Quest of Successful Ageing

Carol D. Ryff · 1 Mar 1989

Previous approaches to the study of successful ageing are reviewed. It is argued that there has been an absence of theory guiding this research; an implicit negativism in the proposed conceptions of well-being; a neglect of the possibility for continued growth and development in old age; and a failure to see conceptions of positive ageing…

Emotion regulation from early adolescence to emerging adulthood and middle adulthood

Peter Zimmermann, Alexandra Iwanski · 23 Jan 2014

Despite the growing research on emotion regulation, the empirical evidence for normative age-related emotion regulation patterns is rather divergent. From a life-span perspective, normative age changes in emotion regulation may be more salient applying the same methodological approach on a broad age range examining both growth and decline during development. In addition, emotion-specific developmental patterns…
