Samenvatting van de aanvraag

Lack of empathy and secure bonds precede antisocial behavior in children. Parental insensitivity and harsh or absent discipline have been associated with children's lack of security of attachment and lack of empathic concern. In an experimental cross-sequential study with 3 age groups (1-, 2-, and 3-year old children) four research questions will be addressed. First, we test the effectiveness of parenting interventions on parental sensitivity and disciplining. Second, we test whether the enhancement of parents' sensitivity and disciplining ability with children showing behavior problems, leads to less problematic behavior and more empathic concern in these children. Third, we investigate whether earlier preventive interventions are more effective than interventions at preschool-age. Lastly, the accelerated longitudinal design allows for a growth curve description of early problem behavior from age 12 to 60 months.
