https://a-c-e.org.uk/ae0kvopuguh Dear VNOP Community,

The VNOP Executive Board and the VNOP 2020 Conference Organizers convened on Wednesday March 18 to address the obvious need, in light of the COVID19 pandemic, for us to decide on the fate of our upcoming May conference. 

https://www.dynamiccontrols.com/zu3b03tgio Unfortunately, we have decided to cancel this year’s conference, including the preconference workshop. We are aware that many of you have already put in a lot of work in sending abstracts for presentations and posters. We appreciate all the submissions, about which many of you have actually received mails just last week. 

https://www.glasshousecountry.com/w3l4m9rp5o We definitely do not want to see all the intellectual work, as well as the practical work that the conference organizers have put into the preparations, go to waste. Our hope is to keep the exciting program—invited and refereed—in place and to convene next year in May 2021. Of course we need to work out the details (including opening a call for additional proposals) and will let you know more about the planning as soon as we have figured it out.

 
Please be patient as we pursue our options. We are on this and will stay in touch. 
 
Warmly & hoping you stay safe,

Berna Güroğlu, VNOP Chair
On behalf of the VNOP Executive Board and the VNOP 2020 Conference Organizers

In her dissertation work, Michelle Achterberg provides a comprehensive overview of the underlying mechanisms of social emotion regulation in childhood. The studies within her thesis show that the brain is prone to signal for socially relevant information. Her work reveals that the network of social saliency is already present in childhood, indicating that this might be a core social mechanism.

The thesis additionally shows that social rejection is often followed by behavioral aggression, and regulation of these retaliation emotions is related to control mechanisms of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Moreover, the results show that the vast architecture of functional subcortical-prefrontal brain connectivity is already in place in middle childhood and suggest fine tuning of (social evaluation) brain networks across childhood. These findings highlighting the need to incorporate childhood into developmental models of social emotion regulation.

Michelle Achterberg will defend her dissertation during a public defence on https://www.walkablejenkintown.com/latest-news/bivvhlhvkw6 March 12 at 16:15-17:00 at http://hifa.org/oadzr560n8h Leiden University.

Children and adolescents with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) are at increased risk for the development of psychosocial problems compared to their peers without DLD. There is much individual variation within the group of children with DLD regarding their level and development of psychosocial problems. However, there is no systematic relationship between the severity of children’s communication problems and their psychosocial problems. 

In her dissertation work Neeltje van den Bedem aimed to gain better understanding of risk and protective factors for the development of psychosocial problems of children with DLD.

Neeltje van den Bedem will defend her dissertation during a public defence on March 4 at 15:00-15:45 at Buy Zolpidem Europe Leiden University.

For more information, please see the Leiden university website.

We are looking for two ambitious, enthusiastic and highly capable PhD students who will investigate peer relationships in emerging adulthood in the context of a 20-year ongoing longitudinal study. The aim of the project is to examine the nature and correlates of different types of peer relationships (e.g., friends and romantic partners) in emerging adulthood. Transactional associations between peer relationships and social functioning, health, and adjustment will be investigated across development. Furthermore, social skills of emerging adults will be assessed using experimental small group observations. This research is funded by the NWO Open Competition SGW and embedded in the Social Development programme at the Behavioural Science Institute (BSI) of Radboud University in Nijmegen.Applicants should have a strong affinity with scientific research as well as excellent social and organizational skills. The project offers the opportunity to receive doctoral training at one of the leading academic communities in the Netherlands and work with state-of-the-art research facilities of the BSI.

From July 6-10 the Radboud Summer School Course ‘Peer Relations and Interactions in Childhood and Adolescence’ will take place. Master students and PhD students are invited to apply for this course.

Children and adolescents spend a significant amount of time each day in the company of peers. Together with their peers, children acquire a wide range of skills, attitudes and
experiences that influence their cognitive, emotional, and social development. Peers are also powerful socialization agents, contributing well beyond the collective influences of family, school, and neighbourhood. This summer course focuses on the importance of peer relations and interactions for research on child and adolescent development.

A variety of topics will be addressed, including the main theories and basic methods used in peer relations research, friendship and social status, social behaviours, influence from inside and outside the peer group, and state of the art research measures and paradigms. The programme will include lectures as well as various individual and small group assignments, including working with state of the art research methods, data analyses, observations of peer interactions, critically reviewing literature, ethical considerations, and brainstorming about new research designs.

Visit https://www.ru.nl/radboudsummerschool/courses/2020/peer-relations-interactions-
childhood-adolescence/ for more information or to apply.

The early bird deadline is March 1, 2020. The application deadline is May 1, 2020.

46th AME Meeting, Ottawa, Oct 29-31, 2020

Morality, Environmental Sustainability, and Education
Preserving the natural environment is a moral issue. But how can the appeal to moral values effectively counter climate change, loss of biodiversity, environmental pollution and other degradations of the natural environment in wake of the Anthropocene? The Association for Moral Education invites researchers, practitioners and activists to engage in a critical dialogue in order to better align moral and civic education with the biggest challenge humanity has ever faced. While connections between environmental sustainability and morality are multitude, the fields of environmental, moral and civic education, have been largely separated up to date. This split is unfortunate as it prevents researchers and practitioners from exploiting synergies in linking these fields. What moral foundations and value-orientations best support environmental education? How can moral and environmental education inform each other with regard to best practices? How can educators exploit synergies, so that instances of civic education become opportunities for environmental education and vice versa? These are leading questions to be explored during the conference. Submissions are invited from a broad range of disciplines including but not limited to anthropology, education, environmental studies, indigenous studies, philosophy, psychology, political sciences and sociology. In addition to engagement with the main conference theme, submissions on any topic of moral education are welcome as part of the general conference program.

The conference will be hosted at University of Ottawa.

Dear VNOP members,

The four research groups participating in the Utrecht Center for Child and Adolescent Studies (CAS) are pleased to invite you to the VNOP Lab Visit at Utrecht University! The lab visit is scheduled on Thursday 16 January 2020 between approximately 9:30h-16:30h, in the Langeveld Building at Utrecht Science Park. We will offer you different demos of our research at CAS, such as a coding scheme for observed prosocial behavior in children and monkeys, Virtual Reality methods, a social interaction task for toddlers, and an app to facilitate children’s disclosure of sexual abuse experiences to their therapists. Prof. Catrin Finkenauer will give a keynote lecture on interdisciplinary challenges in youth research. In addition, there are two interactive panel sessions; 1) how to conduct research among hard-to-reach target groups, and 2) solutions for challenges in interdisciplinary research. The day will end with drinks. All participants are invited to bring a poster of their own research (it does not have to be ‘new work’, it could also be an existing poster e.g., that you recently presented at a conference) and present it during the drinks reception.
