Anthropometric differences between twins at birth and their association with later cognitive performance / Robert EVES in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 67-10 (October 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 67-10 (October 2026) . - p. 1692-1700 Titre : Anthropometric differences between twins at birth and their association with later cognitive performance Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Robert EVES, Auteur ; Marco DEPPE, Auteur ; Christian KANDLER, Auteur ; Bastian MÖNKEDIEK, Auteur ; Sakari LEMOLA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p. 1692-1700 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Birthweight  head circumference  twin  longitudinal  cognition Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Past studies indicate significant associations between birth anthropometrics, such as relative birthweight or head circumference, and later cognitive performance. Using twin data, we investigated whether these associations are confounded by genetic and environmental factors. Additionally, we determined whether the association of within twin differences in birth anthropometrics and cognitive performance is nonlinear or moderated by factors such as zygosity or age at assessment. Methods Longitudinal data from over 2000 twin pairs from the German TwinLife study were analysed using the co-twin control method. Cognitive performance was assessed at two waves, with median ages of 12 and 18?years, with z-standardised scores based on wave and age. Differences between twins in birthweight and head circumference Z scores were calculated using Fenton's size at birth chart, based on health records at birth. Results Within twin differences in relative birthweight were associated with differences in cognitive performance at Wave 1 (??=?.08, p?=?.001) and did not differ by zygosity (??=?.03, p?=?.560). However, this association was not significant when reducing the sample to twins with valid data at both waves (? = .05, p?=?.187). Testing for nonlinearity or for moderation by age at assessment did not improve model fit. Within twin differences in head circumference were not significantly associated with differences in cognitive performance in any analyses (smallest p?=?0.365). Conclusions After controlling for confounding due to genetics or the shared environment, conditions in the womb, as indexed by relative birthweight, is associated with later cognition. This association is not stronger in younger individuals.

Emotional problems and peer victimization in adolescents born very preterm and full-term: Role of self-control skills in childhood / Ayten BILGIN in Development and Psychopathology, 36-1 (February 2024)

We used data from four prospective cohort studies, which included 29,378 participants in total (N = 645 very preterm; N = 28,733 full-term). Self-control was mother-reported in childhood at 5-11 years whereas emotional problems and peer victimization were both self- and mother-reported at 12-17 years of age. Findings of individual participant data meta-analysis showed that self-control skills in childhood do not moderate the association between very preterm birth and adolescence emotional problems and peer victimization. It was shown that higher self-control skills in childhood predict lower emotional problems and peer victimization in adolescence similarly in very preterm and full-term borns.

Interactions between infant characteristics and parenting factors rarely replicate across cohorts and developmental domains / Robert EVES in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 66-8 (August 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 66-8 (August 2025) . - p.1234-1248 Titre : Interactions between infant characteristics and parenting factors rarely replicate across cohorts and developmental domains Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Robert EVES, Auteur ; Finiki NEARCHOU, Auteur ; Dieter WOLKE, Auteur ; Michael PLUESS, Auteur ; Sakari LEMOLA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1234-1248 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Interaction  moderation  birthweight  temperament  vulnerability  susceptibility  sensitivity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Whether, and how, infant characteristics and parenting quality interact is one of developmental psychology's key questions. However, whether specific interaction patterns replicate across cohorts or developmental outcomes is largely unknown. This study investigates whether infant characteristics and parenting quality are independent predictors (additive effects) of child outcomes or interact such that certain infants particularly suffer from poor parenting (diathesis stress), particularly benefit from good parenting (vantage sensitivity) or both (differential susceptibility). Methods Individual participant data from over 30,000 children from four prospective cohorts were pooled. Using a competitive-confirmatory approach of model evaluation, 16 possible permutations of infant characteristics (temperament and birthweight), parenting (maternal-reported stimulating and sensitive parenting) and later developmental outcomes (fluid and crystalised intelligence, internalising and externalising behaviour) were tested. The robustness of results was evaluated by subsequently varying analytic methods, using alternative parenting measures including observer reports and excluding covariates. Results AIC values in 10/16 analyses indicated infant characteristics acted independently of maternal-reported parenting for predicting developmental outcomes. Interaction patterns indicating diathesis stress (4/16), vantage sensitivity (2/16) or differential susceptibility (0/16) were rare or absent. However, diathesis-stress patterns were frequently found regarding birthweight and internalising behaviours, which were largely robust to methodological changes. Conclusions Developmental outcomes are more consistently explained by additive effects rather than by interaction effects.
