Editorial: Prevention and intervention science: Contributions to developmental theory
Open accessAbstract
In a chapter on the historical roots of the discipline of developmental psychopathology, Cicchetti (1990) predicted that this then-emerging field would, among other integrative functions, help to bridge the gap between basic and applied research and between theoretical and clinical efforts for children, adolescents, and adults (see also Cicchetti & Toth, 1991, 1992, 1998). Despite this hopeful assertion, in the dozen years since its appearance, there has not been a complete closing of the gap (which, at worst, can resemble a chasm).

If parenting plays a causal role in children's development, then promoting effective parenting should foster healthy outcomes and reduce pathological outcomes across all developmental phases.
“If parenting plays a causal role in children’s development, then promoting effective parenting should foster healthy outcomes and reduce pathological outcomes across all phases of development (1, 7).”

The most scientifically rigorous way to establish a causal role of parenting is to test experimentally whether strengthening parenting positively affects children's outcomes over time.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
