Study Highlights the Roles , of Cognition and Well-Being , in Childhood Development.
A new study suggests that well-being
and cognition mutually affect each
other throughout a child's development. .
PsyPost reports that the study, which was published
in the journal 'Clinical Psychological Science,' uncovered
risk factors associated with negative outcomes. .
Those risks reportedly include early onset of puberty and poor relationships with parents. .
According to the study, well-being and cognitive skills
have been tied to a number of positive outcomes
for kids, including improved physical health. .
PsyPost points out that some theories suggest
psychological trauma can impair cognition, while others
found that cognition can help protect mental health. .
We did this study to help guide
future applied work, to help inform,
e.g., research into interventions aimed
at fostering educational achievement
or well-being in schools, Delia Fuhrmann, Lecturer at King’s College
London and study author, via PsyPost.
The study's results found that 6- to 7-year-olds with lower well-being also had lower cognitive abilities. .
Cognition and well-being are linked,
and links go both ways – cognition
is linked to well-being, and well-being
is linked to cognition. This highlights
how complex development is, Delia Fuhrmann, Lecturer at King’s College
London and study author, via PsyPost.
According to the study's authors, interventions to address behavioral problems and improve verbal skills could lead to better cognition and well-being outcomes. .
We know that psychosocial
well-being in schools can
affect a range of important
outcomes, including educational
achievement in young people. , Delia Fuhrmann, Lecturer at King’s College
