Brown; Isabel Soares; Mirjam Oosterman; R. M. Pasco Fearon; Howard Steele; Carla Martins; Ora Aviezer – Child Development, 2024
An individual participant data meta-analysis was conducted to test pre-registered hypotheses about how the configuration of attachment relationships to mothers and fathers predicts children's language competence. Data from seven studies (published between 1985 and 2014) including 719 children (M[subscript age]: 19.84 months; 51% female; 87% White)…

Elizabeth Hentschel; Saima Siyal; Dana C. McCoy; Henning Tiemeier; Aisha K. Yousafzai – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2024
Research has shown the importance of responsive caregiving for fostering positive development early in life; however, tools measuring these interactions are often impractical for larger scale intervention trials and in settings with resource constraints. The present study provides reliability and validity evidence from Sindh, Pakistan for a tool…

Manning, Leah B. – Early Child Development and Care, 2023
Hierarchical linear modelling was used to explore the effect of changes in maternal sensitivity on attachment over time. Child characteristics of gender, temperament, and developmental status were used as moderating factors. Data from 1,249 mothers and their children from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development when the children…

Armstrong, Kate J.; Berg, Astrid; Lachman, Anusha – Early Child Development and Care, 2023
In South Africa, many infants spend more time with carers other than their parents due to socio-economic demands on mothers. Carers thus play an important role in the infants' lives. This qualitative study explored child carers' knowledge and understanding of the 'first 1000 days' initiative and their perception of themselves as attachment…

This study examines the infant-father attachment in infants born preterm (<?1500?g at birth and/or?<?37 weeks gestation) in comparison to full-term infants. The infant-father attachment was assessed using the Strange Situation Procedure at a (corrected) age of 15 months. We found at least half of preterm and full-term infants (50.0% and…

John, Sufna – ZERO TO THREE, 2022
Children develop within the context of caregiver--child relationships, each presenting with their own unique strengths, areas of growth, and compatibility of fit. Instead of the traditional viewpoint that child symptoms are generalizable across contexts and would emerge across relationships, the DC:0--5™: Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health…

This theoretical article aims to create a conceptual framework for future research on digital methods for assessing cognition in children through estimating shared intentionality, different from assessing through behavioral markers. It shows the new assessing paradigm based directly on the evaluation of parent-child interaction exchanges…

Miller, Jane E.; Kim, Sanghag; Boldt, Lea J.; Goffin, Kathryn C.; Kochanska, Grazyna – Developmental Psychology, 2019
Rapidly growing research on parental mind-mindedness, a tendency to treat one's young child as a psychological agent and an individual with a mind, internal mental states, and emotions, has demonstrated significant links among parents' mind-mindedness, their parenting, and multiple aspects of children's development. This prospective longitudinal…

Grandmothers are important in Chinese families. This study explored the early emerging mother-grandmother-infant network and its association with child's socioemotional development in multigenerational families in a non-WEIRD country. The analytic sample included 60 children (T1: M[subscript age] = 6.5 months) and their caregivers residing in…

Zsolnai, Anikó; Szabó, Lilla – Pastoral Care in Education, 2021
Primary attachment plays a fundamental role in children's social and emotional development and psychological well-being. Secure attachment correlates strongly with better social competence, self-regulation, well-being and school achievement. There is no full agreement among researchers investigating attachment as to what extent primary attachment…

Rousseau, Sofie; Feldman, Tamar; Harroy, Lisa; Avisar, Nitzan; Wolf, Melissa; Bador, Keren; Frenkel, Tahl – Early Child Development and Care, 2020
Caregivers' sensitive responses to infant cry have long-term consequences for adaptive child development. Although mounting evidence suggests that parents who experience high emotionality to infant cry respond less sensitively to infant cry, there is a dearth of knowledge on potential mechanisms underlying individual differences in emotionality to…
