This is reflected in their behaviour, for instance, by (social) withdrawal, hyperactivity or difficulty with peer relations. Children with DLD are also known to have poorer quality of life (QoL). This is likely to be related to social\u2013emotional difficulties, for both concern similar developmental domains but from a different point of view. Findings on the social\u2013emotional abilities, QoL and predictors thereof in children with DLD are inconsistent across studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review investigates how social\u2013emotional functioning (SEF) and QoL develop from childhood into early adulthood in children with DLD.

Clinical populations were labelled differently (e.g., DLD, specific language impairment (SLI), language impairment (LI)) but adhered to inclusion criteria for language disorder (LD). The majority of the articles focused on SEF (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 30 articles), while the remaining examined QoL (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 4 articles).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Main Contribution<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is the first review to simultaneously investigate SEF and QoL in children with LD. No single developmental pattern was found for SEF: a range of possible developmental trajectories exists. Interestingly, prosocial skills generally appear to improve over time, whereas children also experience increasing problems with peer relations. Few studies employed a longitudinal design regarding QoL, but those that did suggest that children with LD are likely to have poorer and declining QoL, at least between the ages of 4 and 9. The sole study examining SEF and QoL in the same sample found a predictive relationship between early SEF and later QoL. Linguistic abilities were predictive in less than half of the studies on SEF development and had little impact on QoL development. Findings on other predictors were inconsistent.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite their interrelatedness, SEF and QoL do not necessarily develop similarly in children with LD. Only one study examined SEF and QoL in the same children and found contrasting developmental trends. This could imply that SEF and QoL are not as intertwined as presumed. It also remains unclear what best predicts change over time in these two dimensions. More research is necessary to further examine the relationship between SEF and QoL, as well as to identify potential predictors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic>What is already known on the subject<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Children with LD are more likely than their peers without LD to have lower SEF and poorer QoL. However, the development of these domains across childhood and adolescence remains unclear. The relationship between SEF and QoL is equally under\u2010researched.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <\/jats:list>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic>What this paper adds to the existing knowledge<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>This is the first review on those with LD that takes a longitudinal perspective on both SEF and QoL and looks at their relationship. It highlights that longitudinal research is valuable and necessary, specifically for QoL, where studies are scarce. Only one study examined SEF and QoL in the same group of children and found a predictive relationship between (aspects of) SEF and later QoL.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <\/jats:list>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic>What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work?<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>This study highlights the relevance of longitudinal research when aiming to comprehend development, particularly in heterogeneous populations such as language disorders (LD). Clinicians are advised to address social\u2013emotional problems alongside language to potentially increase SEF and QoL. Future research should investigate SEF and QoL simultaneously to substantiate the preliminary evidence for this relationship between SEF and QoL. Additionally, future studies consider support and multilingualism as potential predictors of this development in children with LD.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <\/jats:list>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/1460-6984.70039","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,22]],"date-time":"2025-04-22T06:41:23Z","timestamp":1745304083000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Social\u2013Emotional Functioning and Quality of Life in Language Disorders: A Systematic Review of Development From Childhood to Adolescence"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-5618-535X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M\u00e9lanie","family":"van Barreveld","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Behavioral Science Institute Radboud University Nijmegen the Netherlands"},{"name":"Research Department Royal Kentalis Utrecht the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Annette","family":"Scheper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Behavioral Science Institute Radboud University Nijmegen the Netherlands"},{"name":"Research Department Royal Kentalis Utrecht the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Constance","family":"Vissers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Behavioral Science Institute Radboud University Nijmegen the Netherlands"},{"name":"Research Department Royal Kentalis Utrecht the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-7796-5054","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iris","family":"Duinmeijer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research &amp; Development Department NSDSK Amsterdam the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Britt","family":"Hakvoort","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Department Royal Dutch Auris Group Rotterdam the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0954579415001054"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jcpp.12721"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/026565900001600201"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0156678"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1460\u20106984.12116"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/cdev.13183"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/spq0000255"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jcpp.12281"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00787\u2010018\u20101261\u20106"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2017\u20103551"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Duinmeijer I.
