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