What makes mothers happy and unhappy during pregnancy and postpartum? A qualitative investigation of beliefs from Gamo mothers in Southern Ethiopia
Depression during pregnancy and postpartum has implications for the health and well‐being of mothers and infants, yet investigations have largely been limited to high‐income countries. In this study, we explore Gamo mothers' perceptions of happiness, unhappiness, and emotional well‐being during pregnancy and after birth. We interviewed 42 Gamo mothers of infants living in a rural highland community in Southern Ethiopia. We analyzed interviews to …
Will I love my second baby as much as my first? Prevalence and psychosocial correlates of maternal‐fetal relationship anxiety for second‐time mothers
Most mothers have more than one child. Second‐time mothers may worry about whether they will love the second baby as much as their first child. The current study examined mothers’ maternal‐fetal relationship anxiety (MFRA) to their second baby, the prediction of mother‐infant bonding (MIB) and infant‐mother attachment security post‐partum, and the psychosocial correlates of mothers’ MFRA during pregnancy. Mothers ( N = 241, 85.9% White, 5.4% Blac…

Refugees often parent under extreme circumstances. Parenting practices have implications for child outcomes, and parenting in the context of refugee resettlement is likely to be dynamic as parents negotiate a new culture. This study examined African origin mothers' infant care values and practices related to feeding, carrying, and daily activities following resettlement in the Southeastern region of the U.S. Ten African origin mothers were asked …
Ethnicity as a predictor of gender segregation among young children in an informal urban settlement in Kenya
Although the emergence of gender segregation in early childhood is a well‐established pattern in formal settings (i.e., group childcare, preschool) from research predominantly in North America, little is known about the gender segregation among young children in Sub‐Saharan Africa, especially in the contexts of ethnically diverse informal urban settlements. Using naturalistic observations of 62 focal‐children (2 to 4 year olds) from 4 ethnic grou…
Parents’ perceptions about infant emotions
Cultural Models of Infant Emotions and Needs Among the Gamo People of Southern Ethiopia
How mothers perceive their infants’ emotions and their subsequent responses are influenced by cultural values and beliefs. Mothers who live in particularly harsh environments may have perceptions about their infants’ emotions that reflect not only cultural values but also constraints of the environment. In this qualitative study, 29 Gamo mothers living in rural Ethiopia were interviewed about perceptions of their infants’ emotions, how they felt …
