Family Interaction Task (FIT)

The Family Interaction Task (FIT) aims to measure the way parents and their children interact, by observing them during a discussion of a predetermined set of subjects.

Topics that could be chosen in L-CID were: clothing, food, fighting, bedtime, cleaning up, watching tv/being on the computer, phone/tablet/ipad, taking care of things (toys, pets), make-up, pocket money, homework, and smoking/drinking.

Measure was collected within the following cohort study:

Leiden Consortium on Individual Development Cohort study

Purpose	The primary aim of the Leiden-CID study is to increase our understanding of the developmental pathways of social behavior and behavioral control that are important to the development of social competence, from early childhood to young adulthood. If we better understand the mechanisms involved in developmental processes of social competence, this allows us to understand optimal conditions that add to the well-being of developing individuals.

Time method	Longitudinal
Universe	Same-sex (51% girls), mono- and dizygotic twins between 3 and 16 years old, and their parents (primary parent and other parent). Children in the early childhood cohort (ECC; N = 476) were followed from 3 to 9 years of age, whereas children in the middle childhood cohort (MCC; N = 514) were followed from 7 to 16 years. All participants lived in the Netherlands (within two hours travel time from Leiden). The majority of the participants were Caucasian (ECC: 88%, MCC: 90%). Additionally, participants had both a low, middle-, as well as a high socio-economic status (ECC: 7–37–56%, MCC: 9–46–45%). To be eligible to participate, potential participants had to be fluent in Dutch, their parents and grandparents had to be born in Europe (because of genetic analyses), and the twins should have the same gender. Excluded were children with a congenital disability, psychological disorder, chronic illness, hereditary disease, or a visual or hearing impairment if the disorder disabled the child from performing the behavioral tasks or from participating in the (f)MRI or EEG/ERP measure. Children with a previously diagnosed intellectual disability (IQ < 70), history of neurological or psychiatric illness and/or use of psychotropic medications were also excluded. Lastly, contraindications for fMRI, including metal implants, heart arrhythmia, and claustrophobia would lead to exclusion as well.

L-CID: Middle Childhood Cohort Cohort

Alternate title	mcc
Description	The Middle Childhood Cohort of the Leiden Consortium on Individual Development (L-CID) is a large-scale longitudinal intervention study in which +- 250 families with same-sex twins, aged 7-8 at wave 1, are followed over a six year period. Annual assessments consist of alternating lab- or home visits during which behavioral and neurobiological data are collected. The collected data allow, among others, for testing which child characteristics shape the effect of (manipulated) environmental factors. The aim of the Middle Childhood Cohort is twofold: 1. To investigate the development of social competence and behavioral control in children between 7 and 14 years old; 2. To dissect the reason why not all children are equally responsive to variations in the social environment.
Purpose	The primary aim of the Middle Childhood Cohort of the Leiden Consortium on Individual Development (L-CID) study is to increase our understanding of the developmental pathways of social behavior and behavioral control that are important to the development of social competence, from middle childhood to young adulthood. If we better understand the mechanisms involved in developmental processes of social competence, this allows us to understand optimal conditions that add to the well-being of developing individuals.

Measure was collected within the following wave(s):

MCC - T5 Wave

Wave alternate title	mcc5, mcc_ses-w05
Short description of the wave	Wave 5 of the Middle Childhood Cohort consisted of regular home visits before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, and digital home visits during the Covid-19 pandemic. In both cases, 11-13 year old children from about 160 families were observed while they performed tasks and they and their parents/caretakers filled out an online questionnaire. Participants also took measurements on their own at home. During the Covid-19 pandemic, however, some tasks were dropped and no (functional) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) measurements were taken.
