The objective of this study was to assess whether delay in attaining developmental milestones was related to depressive and anxious symptoms in adolescence. METHOD The sample included 3508 Canadian children who participated in a nationally representative prospective cohort study. T...

In this work, it has been demonstrated through experiments that Long Range Dependence (LRD) in internet traffic is indeed affecting the queueing performance. Queueing performance is being degraded as the self-similarity of the packet arrival process increases. Here, the link buffer capacity and queueing delay exhibits super-linear relationship. This in turn has led to the proposal of resource p...

Individuals with a repressive coping style self-report low anxiety, but show high defensiveness and high physiological arousal. Repressors have impoverished negative autobiographical memories and are better able to suppress memory for negatively valenced and self-related laboratory materials when asked to do so. Research on spontaneous forgetting of negative information in repressors suggests t...

Self-regulation is associated with many positive outcomes, but there is limited information about individual difference regarding children's spontaneous use of strategies to self-regulate and the relative success of those strategies. In the current study, we examined whether temperament and gender are associated with self-regulation and explored the types of spontaneous strategies children use ...

Among 56 school-age children in Study 1, delay time was associated with concurrent teacher ratings of self-control and Big Five conscientiousness-but not with other personality tr...
