Social engagement and adaptive functioning during early childhood: Identifying ...
Vaughn, Brian E.; Santos, António José; Monteiro, Lígia Maria Santos; Shin, Nana; Daniel, João Rodrigo; Krzysik, LisaThis study tested the hypothesis that social engagement (SE) with peers is a fundamental aspect of social competence during early childhood. Relations between SE and a set of previously validated social competence indicators, as well as additional variables derived from observation and sociometric interviews were assessed using both variable-centered and person-centered approaches (N = 1453, 696 girls) in 4 sam...

Growth of social competence during the preschool years: A 3-year longitudinal s...
Santos, António José; Vaughn, Brian E.; Peceguina, Maria Inês Duarte; Daniel, João Rodrigo; Shin, NanaThis study examined the stability and growth over a 3-year period of individual differences in preschool children’s social competence, which was assessed in three domains: social engagement/motivation, profiles of behavior and personality attributes characteristic of socially competent young children, and peer acceptance. A total of 255 children (126 girls and 129 boys) participated in this study. Growth curve ...
Associations between attachment security and social competence in preschool chi...
Veríssimo, Manuela; José dos Santos, António; Fernandes, Carla; Shin, Nana; Vaughn, BrianAttachment theorists suggest that attachment security with parents supports the quality of social adaptation in peer groups during early childhood, and numerous studies supporting this conjecture have been published. Most of these studies used enacted representations rather than mental representations of attachment security, and most studies examining mental representations used adult (parent or teacher) rating...

Auto-conceito e representações da vinculação no período pré-escolar
Maia, Joana; Ferreira, Bruno; Veríssimo, Manuela; Santos, António J.; Shin, NanaA Teoria da Vinculação sugere que as representações internas das experiências relacionais e a noção de self vão sendo interiorizadas, de forma complementar, pelas crianças ao longo do tempo, desempenhando as figuras de vinculação um papel crucial neste processo. Alguns estudos empíricos (Cassidy, 1988; Clark & Symons, 2000; Verschueren, Marcoen, & Schoefs, 1996) têm examinado as ligações entre desenvolvimento d...

Social competence in preschool children: Replication of results and clarificati...
Santos, António José; Peceguina, Maria Inês Duarte; Daniel, João Rodrigo; Shin, Nana; Vaughn, Brian E.This study tested assumptions and conclusions reached in an earlier confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) study of the social competence (SC) construct for preschool children. Two samples (total N = 408; a new Portuguese sample and one from US samples that had participated in the original study) contributed data. Seven SC indicators were tested for mean differences across age, sex, and sample. Significant sex diff...
Attachment representations, sleep quality and adaptative functioning in prescho...
Vaughn, Brian E.; El-Sheikh, Mona; Shin, Nana; Elmore-Staton, Lori; Krzysik, Lisa; Monteiro, Lígia Maria SantosBoth the attachment system and sleep are considered to be important biopsychosocial regulators of development and of adaptive functioning in children, and there is a substantial literature suggesting that the two systems may be mutually influencing. To date, however, the bulk of research attempting to link these systems has focused on infancy and the results of empirical studies are mixed. Thirty-nine preschool...
Preschool children’s mental representations of attachment: Antecedents in their...
Wong, Maria; Bost, Kelly K.; Shin, Nana; Veríssimo, Manuela; Maia, Joana Branco; Monteiro, Lígia Maria Santos; Silva, Filipa; Coppola, GabrielleThis study examined the antecedents of preschool age children’s mental representations of attachment, assessed using the Attachment Story Completion Task (ASCT). Antecedent predictors were maternal attachment scripts, assessed using the Attachment Script Assessment (ASA), and the child’s secure base behaviors, assessed using the Attachment Q-Set (AQS). Participants were 121 mothers and their preschool children ...
