Carozzi, Giulia – Educational Action Research, 2023
For Foucault, discourses shape people's knowledge and inform how they act in a society. Power over others is legitimated by dominant discourses, a means through which hegemony discloses itself: a given group is entitled to oppress another. As a parent-educator based in Italy, I see such discourses manifesting themselves in actions and speeches. As…

Mount, R.; Oliver, C.; Berg, K.; Horsler, K. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2011

Kaltenbach, Karol; And Others – Child Development, 1980
The reactions of 24 eight-month-old infants and their mothers were observed when approached in a standard laboratory situation by female strangers whose approach was either fast or slow. Mothers were significantly more "wary" than infants, particularly as the proximity of the stranger increased. (Author/RH)

Feiring, Candice; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1984
Examined whether an infant's reaction to a stranger would be indirectly influenced by the infant observing a stranger-third party interaction. Subjects were 45 15-month-old infants. Results suggest indirect effects influence social interactions and show that significant others can play an important role in mediating these effects. (Author/RH)

Abramovitch, Rona – Child Development, 1977
Two experiments presented 36 preschool children with videotapes of their own and unknown mothers interacting with strange and familiar people. The children were able to guess correctly whether their own mother was interacting with a friend or a stranger, but were unsuccessful with unknown mothers. (Author/JMB)

Skarin, Kurt – Child Development, 1977
Familiarity of the setting, the mother's presence, sex of the stranger, and the distance separating the infant and the stranger were varied to examine the expression of stranger fear in 32 infants from 6 to 11 months of age. (Author/JMB)

Young, Gerald; Lewis, Michael – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, 1979
Hypothesizes that infants with attentive mothers will interact more positively with consistent partners than with matched strangers. Finds that when mothers were attentive infant dyads composed of consistent partners interacted more than stranger dyads. Suggest that withdrawal of maternal attention may be equivalent to physical separation by a…

Bigelow, Anne E.; And Others – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, 1995
Two experiments investigated 8-, 10-, and 12-month-old infants' levels of searching for mothers, strangers, and objects. Found that, overall, 10- and 12-month-old infants had higher levels of searching for mothers, whereas youngest infants showed no differences for searching. This discrepancy is likely due to social cognitive development and…
