Christine Michel; Daniel Matthes; Stefanie Hoehl – Child Development, 2024
This study investigates infants' neural and behavioral responses to maternal ostensive signals during naturalistic mother-infant interactions and their effects on object encoding. Mothers familiarized their 9- to 10-month-olds (N = 35, 17 females, mainly White, data collection: 2018-2019) with objects with or without mutual gaze, infant-directed…

Lianne van Setten; Annick Ledebt; Mirjam Oosterman; Carlo Schuengel; Marleen H. M. de Moor – SAGE Open, 2024
The secure base phenomenon was ascribed to changes in exploration observed during Ainsworth's Strange Situation Procedure (SSP), related to the quality of the attachment relationship. However, infant temperament was not taken into consideration. The current study aims to replicate Ainsworth's findings regarding infant exploration and attachment…

Vallorani, Alicia; Gunther, Kelley E.; Anaya, Berenice; Burris, Jessica L.; Field, Andy P.; LoBue, Vanessa; Buss, Kristin A.; Pérez-Edgar, Koraly – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Developmental theories suggest affect-biased attention, preferential attention to emotionally salient stimuli, emerges during infancy through coordinating individual differences. Here we examined bidirectional relations between infant affect-biased attention, temperamental negative affect, and maternal anxiety symptoms using a Random Intercepts…

Teaching or Learning from Baby: Inducing Explicit Parenting Goals Influences Caregiver Intrusiveness
King, Lucy S.; Hill, Kaylin E.; Rangel, Elizabeth; Gotlib, Ian H.; Humphreys, Kathryn L. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Caregivers' goals influence their interactions with their children. In this preregistered study, we examined whether directing parents to "teach" their baby versus "learn" from their baby influenced the extent to which they engaged in intrusive (e.g., controlling, adult-centered rather than child-centered), sensitive, warm, or…

Schatz, Jacob L.; Suarez-Rivera, Catalina; Kaplan, Brianna E.; Tamis-LeMonda, Catherine S. – Developmental Science, 2022
As infants interact with the object world, they generate rich information about object properties and functions. Much of infant learning unfolds in the presence of caregivers, who talk about and act on the objects of infant play. Does mother joint engagement correspond to real-time changes in the complexity and duration of infant object…

Inal, Sevil; Aydin Yilmaz, Diler; Erdim, Leyla – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
This study was a prospective, randomized controlled trial. The study sample consisted of 105 healthy neonates who conformed to the case selection criteria. Neonates were randomly assigned to the following groups: swaddling (S), maternal holding (MH), and controls (C). The study data were obtained using an information form and the Neonatal Infant…

Todil, Tugba; Cetinkaya, Senay – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
Kangaroo care (KC) or kangaroo mother care (KMC), sometimes called skin-to-skin contact, is a technique of newborn care where babies are kept chest-to-chest and skin-to-skin with a parent. The research was carried out experimentally to investigate the effect of the early kangaroo care by using Neonatal Comfort Behavior Scale in invasive…

Zahra Halavani; H. Henny Yeung; Senay Cebioglu; Tanya Broesch – Infant and Child Development, 2024
It is known that infant-directed speech (IDS) plays a key role in language development. Previous research, however, has also identified significant variability across societies in terms of how often IDS occurs. For example, some studies report very little IDS in non-western, small-scale societies -- including children growing up in small-scale…

Kaya de Barbaro; Priyanka Khante; Meeka Maier; Sherryl Goodman – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Depression in mothers is consistently associated with reduced caregiving sensitivity and greater infant negative affect expression. The current article examined the real-time behavioral mechanisms underlying these associations using Granger causality time series analyses in a sample of mothers (N = 194; 86.60% White) at elevated risk for…

Astor, Kim; Lindskog, Marcus; Juvrud, Joshua; Wangchuk; Namgyel, Sangay Choden; Wangmo, Tshering; Tshering, Kinzang; Gredebäck, Gustaf – Developmental Psychology, 2022
We assessed whether the negative association between maternal postpartum depression (PPD) and infants' development of joint attention (gaze following) generalizes from WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) to Majority World contexts. The study was conducted in Bhutan (N = 105, M = 278 days, 52% males) but also draws from…

Tsabanaki, A.; Kokkinaki, T.; Triliva, S.; Karademas, E. – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2023
This study aimed to investigate how mothers and infants contribute mutually to breastfeeding. The spontaneous interactions of 20 breastfeeding dyads were video-recorded at home, at 2, 4, 6, 9 and 12 months of infants' life. Mothers' and infants' gaze and tactile behaviour, facial expressions of emotion, and dyadic expressions were continuously…

Kiepura, Eliza; Niedzwiecka, Alicja; Kmita, Grazyna – Journal of Child Language, 2021
This study examined the characteristics of the vocal behaviors of parents and preterm infants, as compared to their term-born peers, at three months of age. Potential links between specific features of parental IDS and infants' vocal activity were also sought. We analyzed the frequencies and durations of vocalizations and pauses during the dyadic…

Kokkinaki, Theano; Markodimitraki, Maria; Vasdekis, Vassilis G.S. – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2023
We compared maternal speech in interactions of mothers with their firstborn dizygotic twin and singleton infants. Nine twins and nine singletons were video-recorded at home in spontaneous face-to-face interactions with their mothers, from the 2nd to the 6th month. Continuous micro-analysis revealed that there are more quantitative and qualitative…

Behavioural, cognitive and emotional dysregulation related to parent borderline personality disorder (BPD) may have a major impact on parent-infant interactions. We investigated the ways in which infant social withdrawal and mother sensitivity may be associated to a BPD diagnosis in mothers. Two groups of clinic-referred mother-infant dyads were…

Sherry S. Heller; Hannah H. Covert; Grace Drnach-Bonaventura; Linda Gilkerson; Leanne Kallemeyen; Maureen Y. Lichtveld; Mya Sherman; Catherine A. Taylor – Early Child Development and Care, 2024
This study assessed a preventive intervention home visiting programme (Fussy Baby Network (FBN)) designed to support mothers struggling with infant crying, sleeping, or feeding concerns. Mothers were referred to the programme through local health- and social service providers and were eligible to participate in the study if they were age 18 or…
