“…Consistent with this view, research examining low-income mothers and their elementary school children found that both decreased parental effort and increased mating effort were associated with a more highly developed child unpredictability schema [15 • ]. Retrospective examination of family unpredictability designated by inconsistency in discipline/nurturance, family meals, and income was associated with a more developed unpredictability schema in college students [16]. Further, the association between family unpredictability and anxious-depressive symptomology was mediated by the unpredictability schema, suggesting that maintaining a hypervigilant and uncertain worldview of the ecology and conspecifics may impact mental health as measured by standard instruments.…”

“…, moving residences and schools, changes in caregivers and/or parental relationships [12–14]). Work focusing on the unpredictability schema has found a link between these family-level indicators of unpredictability and increased perception of unpredictability [15 • ,16]. Growing up under such household conditions should orient individuals to prioritize mating effort over parental obligations and impact the development of children.…”

This review focuses on the impact of parental behavior on child development, as interpreted from an evolutionary-developmental perspective. We employ psychosocial acceleration theory to reinterpret the effects of variation in parental investment and involvement on child development, arguing that these effects have been structured by natural selection to match the developing child to current and expected future environments. Over time, an individual’s development, physiology, and behavior are organized in a coordinated manner (as instantiated in ‘life history strategies’) that facilitates survival and reproductive success under different conditions. We review evidence to suggest that parental behavior (1) is strategic and contingent on environmental opportunities and constraints and (2) influences child life history strategies across behavioral, cognitive, and physiological domains.

“…That is, adult children who are securely attached with their parents may experience posi tive emotions such as love, gratitude, and comfort (Mikulincer & Shaver, 2013) when they take part in these events with their attachment figures. Conversely, parents could add unpredictability, anxiety (Ross et al, 2016), negative emotions, or stress for those who are insecurely attached with their parents. However, this is an area of research that is not greatly examined.…”

“…Bolton (Sheinbaum et al, 2015). Namely, family unpredictability, defined as inconsistent familial behaviors, can lead to the anxious belief that the world is an uncertain place (Burnett, Jones, Bliwise, & Ross, 2006;Ross, Hood, & Short, 2016). This anxiety can be explained by attachment theory (Ainsworth, Blehar, Walters, & Wall, 1978), which posits that people create an "internal working model" of attachment based on prior experiences with parents and other attachment figures (Bowlby, 1980;Bretherton, 1985).…”

“…A second negative emotional state related to attachment is depression, which positively cor relates with insecure attachment, and particularly anxious attachment (Brenning, Soenens, Braet, & Bosmans, 2012;Malik et al, 2015;Reynolds, Searight, & Ratwik, 2014;Schriffin, 2014). In a review, Malik et al (2015) found, for adults, that the relationship between insecure attachment and depressive symptomology was mediated by emotion regulation.…”

DEDICATION STATEMENT This issue is dedicated to JON GRAHE, PhD (2016-17 Psi Chi President, Pacific Lutheran University), who first introduced Psi Chi Journal to the Open Science Badges program and later proposed the topic of this special issue. Over the years, Jon has worked tirelessly to create collaborative research opportunities for Psi Chi students, and supported the Journal's transition to an Open Access publication. ABOUT PSI CHI Psi Chi is the International Honor So ci ety in Psychology, found ed in 1929. Its mission: "recognizing and promoting excellence in the science and application of psy chol ogy." Mem ber ship is open to undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and alumni mak ing the study of psy chol ogy one of their major interests and who meet Psi Chi's min i mum qual i fi ca tions. Psi Chi is a member of the As so cia tion of Col lege Honor So ci et ies (ACHS), and is an affiliate of the Ameri can Psy cho logi cal As so cia tion (APA) and the Association for Psy cho log i cal Science (APS). Psi Chi's sister honor society is Psi Beta, the na tion al honor society in psychology for com mu nity and junior colleges. Psi Chi functions as a federation of chap ters located at over 1,130 senior col leg es and universities around the world. The Psi Chi Central Office is lo cat ed in Chatta nooga, Ten nessee. A Board of Directors, com posed of psy chol o gy faculty who are Psi Chi members and who are elect ed by the chapters, guides the affairs of the Or ga ni za tion and sets pol i cy with the ap prov al of the chap ters. Psi Chi membership provides two major opportunities. The first of these is ac a dem ic rec og ni tion to all in duc tees by the mere fact of mem ber ship. The sec ond is the opportunity of each of the Society's local chapters to nourish and stim u late the pro fes sion al growth of all members through fellowship and activities de signed to augment and en hance the reg u lar cur ric u lum. In addition, the Or ga ni za tion provides programs to help achieve these goals including con ven tions, research awards and grants competitions, and publication opportunities. JOURNAL PURPOSE STATEMENT The twofold purpose of the Psi Chi Journal of Psychological Research is to foster and reward the scholarly efforts of psychology students as well as to provide them with a valuable learning experience. The articles pub lished in the Journal represent the work of under graduates, graduate students, and faculty. To further support authors and enhance Journal visibility, articles are now available in the PsycINFO ® , EBSCO ® , Crossref ® , and Google Scholar data bases. In 2016, the Journal also became open access (i.e., free online to all readers and authors) to broaden the dissemination of research across the psychological science com munity.
