The Psychometric Properties of the ACE-IQ Questionnaire’s Binary and Frequency Scoring Methods in a Chilean Community Sample
Background/Objectives: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) impact social, emotional, psychological, and physical development, often leading to health risk behaviors in adulthood. Instruments like the Adverse Childhood Experiences International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ) are essential for assessing ACEs globally and confirming their association with health outcomes in adulthood. Methods: This study evaluates the ACE-IQ's validity in a Chilean cohort …
Parental burnout in the context of the socio-health crisis and its relationship with abuse and neglect
Parenting Culture(s)
What is it to be “an ideal parent”? Does the answer differ across countries and social classes? To answer these questions in a way that minimizes bias and ethnocentrism, we used open-ended questions to explore ideal-parent beliefs among 8,357 mothers and 3,517 fathers from 37 countries. Leximancer Semantic Network Analysis was utilized to first determine parenting culture zones (i.e., countries with shared ideal-parent beliefs) and then extract t…
Traumatic Experiences in Childhood and Maternal Depressive Symptomatology
The goal of this study is to describe and analyze the relationship between childhood trauma and depressive symptoms and its relation to the parental interactions of mothers (19-47 years) with their 3-4 year old preschool children. Parental interactions, traumatic experiences in mothers' childhood, and current depressive symptoms were measured using the Parenting Interactions with Children: Checklist of Observations Linked to Outcomes (PICCOLO), t…
Adverse Childhood Experiences
Nearly all participants reported having had at least one ACE and more than half reported had four or more ACEs. Those who had had four or more ACEs were more likely to report problems throughout their life. Having an ACE of any type was found to be a better predictor of mental health problems and IFV in men than in women and might be a stronger risk factor for substance use and criminal behaviors in women than in men
Mentalization and Parental Stress
Parent-child interactions can be negatively influenced by contextual, individual, and familial factors. The present study examines how parental stress and parental mentalization predicts interactions between 36-48-month-old preschoolers and their mothers. The sample comprises 106 mother-child dyads from Santiago, Chile, from a mid-low SES. The instruments used were the Parental Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF), Mentalization in the Significant Ad…
Parental Burnout Across the Globe During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all societies worldwide. The heightened levels of stress that accompanied the crisis were also expected to affect parenting in many families. Since it is known that high levels of stress in the parenting domain can lead to a condition that has severe consequences for health and well-being, we examined whether the prevalence of parental burnout in 26 countries (9,923 parents; 75% mothers; mean age 40) increased d…
Mothers’ Use of Regulatory Talk with Toddlers in Chile and the US
Studies have shown that Chilean and US infants differ in their levels of self-regulation. One of the mechanisms of early socializing is the use of language, particularly mental state language. The current study seeks to deepen our knowledge of the ways in which mental state language is related to socialization processes in early childhood, including the ways both culture and children's gender influence a mothers' use of mental state talk. We used…
Depressive Symptomatology and Parenting Stress
(1) Background: The preschool stage is a period of great psychological changes that requires the support of parents and significant adults for optimal development. Studies show that maternal mental health can be a risk factor in parenting, affecting the social-emotional development of children. (2) Methods: The present study seeks to shed light on the relation between depressive symptoms, parental stress in mothers and social-emotional developmen…
Does Maternal Mental Health and Maternal Stress Affect Preschoolers’ Behavioral Symptoms
(1) Background: Maternal stress and depression are considered risk factors in children's socioemotional development, also showing high prevalence worldwide. (2) Method: Participants correspond to a longitudinal sample of 6335 mother/child pairs (18-72 months), who were surveyed in 2010 and then in 2012. The hypothesis was tested with SEM analysis, setting the child's internalized/externalized problems as dependent variable, maternal depression as…
Abuso sexual temprano y su impacto en el bienestar actual del adulto
El objetivo de este estudio es incrementar el conocimiento sobre el abuso sexual temprano (sufrido antes de los 18 años) y su impacto en el bienestar actual de quienes lo han sufrido, a partir del análisis de una encuesta aplicada el año 2018 por Fundación para la Confianza en la Región Metropolitana en Chile. El presente análisis ofrece una revisión actualizada sobre el fenómeno. La muestra estuvo formada por 653 participantes y la aplicación co…
Are children from different countries exposed to diverse emotions in storybooks? Comparative study between Chile and the United States
Children's storybooks are relevant resources for references to different emotions, both positive and negative, and provide an excellent opportunity for adults and children to discuss them, thereby promoting children's comprehension of their own and others' inner worlds. However, we know little about the emotions present in children's stories and their frequency. This study investigated references to emotions in children's storybooks for preschool…
Evaluation of the effectiveness of a pilot program that promotes sensitive response in the educational staff of Chilean nursery schools
Cross-Informant Ratings of Internalizing and Externalizing Behavior in Adolescent–Parent Pairs in Six Countries. Does Being Adopted Make a Difference
Low agreement between self-reports and parent reports of the behavioral adjustment of adolescents has been widely documented in the literature. However, it has been little studied in connection with adoptees. In the current research, the magnitude of agreement between reports of adolescents’ behavioral problems given by the adolescents themselves and their parents and the direction of the possible discrepancies between these reports were studied.…
Factores predictivos de sensibilidad materna en infancia temprana
La sensibilidad materna se define como la habilidad de la madre para tomar conciencia, interpretar adecuadamente y responder de forma apropiada y contingente a las señales y comunicaciones del infante (Ainsworth el al., 1978). Esta se encontraría relacionada con múltiples factores. Diversos estudios señalan que el género del niño(a), el nivel socioeconómico, nivel educacional de la madre, entre otros, explican las diferencias en sensibilidad mate…
Estudio comparativo de la sensibilidad entre madres y personal educativo en interacción con niños y niñas de un año de edad
La respuesta sensible es la capacidad del adulto de comprender las señales del niño/a y de responder a ellas oportunamente. Diversos estudios señalan que adultos significativos con alta sensibilidad promueven en el niño/a un vínculo seguro y un adecuado desarrollo socioemocional. El presente estudio analiza semejanzas y diferencias en la sensibilidad de adultos significativos (madres, educadores), en sus interacciones con niños y niñas de un año …
Behavior problems and attachment in adopted and non-adopted adolescents
Attachment in adopted adolescents. National adoption in Chile
Gender and Attachment Representations in the Preschool Years
Bowlby proposed that the individual's social experiences, as early as in infancy, contribute to the construction of Internal Working Models (IWMs) of attachment, which will later guide the individual's expectations and behaviors in close relationships all along his or her life. The qualitative, individual characteristics of these models reflect the specificity of the individual's early experiences with attachment figures. The attachment literatur…
