Curbing Adolescents' Risky Behaviors: Opportunities and Resources in Childhood Contexts
Symposium
Friday May 26, 2023
10:30 AM - 11:50 AMThis symposium brings together three studies investigating social and familial determinants of adolescent risky behavior. Leveraging innovative statistical methods analyzing large national longitudinal studies, this symposium features sorting temporal orders of both proximal and distal contextual factors in childhood and risky behavioral outcomes in adolescence and emerging adulthood.
Speakers: Ying Zhang, Qingyang Liu, Sara Vasilenko, Benjamin Bayly, Zhenyu Zhang, Rachel Razza

Learning to Remember
Symposium
Friday May 26, 2023
1:00 PM - 2:20 PMMemory preserves specific instances of our lives, but also allows us to create generalized knowledge based on regularities across related experiences. How do these capabilities evolve during infancy and early childhood? This symposium presents data across childhood, examining the interplay between general knowledge and expectations and specific events and input.
Speakers: Nora Newcombe, Linh Nguyen, Sabrina Karjack, Madeleine Frazier, Ingrid Olson, Zoe Ngo, Kara Storjohann, Elisa Buchberger, Tydings McClary, Markus Werkle-Bergner, Tess Forest, Dima Amso, Sarah McCormick, Laurel Gabard-Durnam

Assessments and Technology in Non-Weird Contexts: Pitfalls and Promise
Symposium
Friday May 26, 2023
4:00 PM - 5:20 PMWe will present the conceptual foundations and initial results from assessments developed for children in Saudi Arabia and Zambia, and bilingual children in the US. We aim to discuss the processes of assessment development and test feasibility and usability in non-WEIRD societies, the challenges encountered and their solutions.
Speakers: Elena Grigorenko, Abdullah Aljughaiman, Abdullah Al Qatee, Hanan Al Ghamdi, Mei Tan

Early Childhood Adverse Experiences and the Development of Self-Regulation: Mediating Factors and Long-Term Developmental Outcomes
Symposium
Friday May 26, 2023
4:00 PM - 5:20 PMLeveraging innovative statistical methods (both variable-centered and person-centered approaches) and prospective longitudinal studies from a diverse background, this symposium examines proximal and distal factors linking early childhood adverse experiences to individual variability in the development of self-regulation and understands its implication in long-term developmental outcomes in adolescence and emerging adulthood.

Pathways from Stress to Psychopathology: The Effects of Stressor Type and Timing on Markers of Mental Health across the Lifespan
Symposium
Sunday May 28, 2023
9:00 AM - 10:20 AMDespite robust associations between stress and psychopathology, pathways linking stress exposure to psychopathology remain elusive. We present new work elucidating these pathways across the lifespan using multiple methods (EEG, fMRI, clinical interviews, surveys) and advanced statistical approaches (mixture modeling), with a focus on the effects of stressor type and timing.
Speakers: Autumn Kujawa, Juhyun Park, Aislinn Sandre, Samantha Pegg, Lindsay Dickey, Anh Dao, Lucinda Sisk, Sonia Ruiz, Paola Odriozola, Sahana Kribakaran, Emily Cohodes, Sarah McCauley, Sadie Zacharek, H.R.

What Makes an Adult? New Approaches to Psychological Development in Adulthood
Symposium
Sunday May 28, 2023
10:30 AM - 11:50 AMAdulthood is a time of dynamic, rich, and rewarding psychological change traversing the developmental domains of emotion, motivation, and cognition. This symposium will define what it means to be an adult today, chart individual differences in development across adulthood, and link adults’ psychological development with mental health and well-being.
Speakers: Sophie von Stumm, Megan Wright, Clare Mehta, Gabrielle Pfund, Alexandra Freund
