Maternal cortisol and parenting in infants’ first 6 months: The moderating role of family stress
The present study examined the joint effect of maternal hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity and family contextual stress on maternal bedtime parenting (i.e., emotional availability; EA) during the first 6 months postpartum. On each occasion, maternal HPA axis activity was indexed using total diurnal cortisol output (i.e., area under the curve with respect to ground) and diurnal cortisol change from afternoon to bedtime. The composi…
The link between nonstandard work and parental distress among new parents: Coparenting as a moderator
Maternal sleep, coparenting quality, and parenting across the first 2 years postpartum
Objective This study examined the between‐ and within‐person associations between maternal sleep patterns and parenting quality across the first 2 years postpartum, with a particular interest in the moderating role of coparenting quality. Background Parents are at high risk for poor sleep health during the postpartum period. However, little is known about the influences of parental sleep on parenting and whether the sleep‐parenting linkage is qua…
Associations Between Infant Nighttime Distress and Coparenting Across the First Year: The Role of Socioeconomic Risk
The present study explored infant nighttime distress as a predictor and outcome of coparenting during the first year of life, examining family socioeconomic risk (SER) as a moderator in these relations. Data were drawn from a study funded by the National Institutes of Health on infant sleep, development, and parenting across the first year of life ( N = 167). At 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, coparenting was assessed through trained coders’ observati…
Coparenting as a family‐level construct: Parent and child inputs across the first two years
This study examined the effects of infant negative affectivity (NA) and maternal and paternal depressive symptoms on fathers' and mothers' perceptions of coparenting across the first 2 years following an infant's birth. A total of 147 two‐parent families (most couples were White, married, and living together) with healthy, full‐term infants were recruited. At each time point, fathers and mothers separately reported their coparenting perceptions v…
Socioeconomic status and infant nighttime sleep across the second year of life: The moderating role of infant attachment security
This study examined socioeconomic status (SES) and attachment security as predictors of infant nighttime sleep during the second year. Participants included 128 mothers (86% White) with infants (48.4% boys). Data collection took place between April, 2009 and February, 2014. At 12, 18, and 24 months, infant sleep was assessed via actigraphy and daily diaries, and attachment with the Attachment Q-Set. SES indicators included income-to-needs ratios …

Maternal nighttime sleep and infant–mother attachment security: The mediating role of maternal parenting quality during bedtime and free play
The present study examined mothers' emotional availability (EA) during daytime free play and bedtime as a mediator of linkages between maternal nighttime sleep and infant-mother attachment. Participants included 153 mothers (85% White) with infants (53% female). When infants were 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, maternal sleep was assessed using actigraphy and daily sleep diaries for 7 consecutive days. At each time point, mothers' EA was scored from o…
The role of household chaos on levels and trajectories of socioemotional behavior in the second year
The second year of life is a time of formative developmental change as basic behavioral systems undergo rapid integration and expansion. This study examined the developmental trajectories of social-emotional (SoE) outcomes and the effects of infant sex and household chaos (HC) on the development of SoE outcomes across the second year of life. The participating families ( N = 143) were ethnically homogenous (88% Caucasian) but economically diverse…

Intrinsic and extrinsic factors predicting infant sleep: Moving beyond main effects
Maternal Responses to Infant Distress: Linkages Between Specific Emotions and Neurophysiological Processes
SYNOPSISObjective. The goals of the current article were to test the presence of an association between mothers’ neural activity (measured by frontal cortical alpha asymmetry) and their specific emotions (measured by observed facial expressions) in response to infant distress and the moderation of this relation by mothers’ appraisal processes (measured by sense of parenting efficacy). Design. Mothers of 5- to 8-month-olds (n = 26) watched videos …
Sleep arrangements, parent–infant sleep during the first year, and family functioning
The present longitudinal study addressed the ongoing debate regarding the benefits and risks of infant-parent cosleeping by examining associations between sleep arrangement patterns across the first year of life and infant and parent sleep, marital and family functioning, and quality of mothers' behavior with infants at bedtime. Patterns of infant sleep arrangements across the infants' first year were derived from information obtained from 139 fa…
Infants at Double Jeopardy: Socioeconomic, Medical, and Attachment‐Based Predictors of Maternal Engagement with an Early Intervention Program
Predictors of parental engagement with early intervention were examined in 138 predominantly low‐income, African American mothers enrolled in a program designed to promote premature infant development and parent–infant relationships. Predictors included sociodemographics, infant medical risk, and mothers’ states of mind regarding attachment. Mothers’ engagement with intervention was assessed using interventionists’ ratings of parental engagement.…
Mothers' affect dysregulation, depressive symptoms, and emotional availability during mother–infant interaction
Maternal affect dysregulation and maternal depressive symptoms were examined as predictors of maternal emotional availability (EA) during mother–infant interaction in a nonclinical sample. In particular, we investigated if affect dysregulation predicts EA and is more important than are depressive symptoms in predicting EA. Questionnaire measures and 30 min of free play were obtained from 46 mothers of 4‐ to 5‐month‐old infants. Mothers' self‐repo…
Sleep arrangements and maternal adaptation in infancy
Among the many decisions that parents make regarding child‐rearing practices, an important one involves sleep arrangements. Little is known about the relationship between chosen sleep arrangements, parents' adaptation to these choices, parental sleep quality, spousal support, and parental distress. Forty‐five mothers and fathers with infants 1 to 24 months old completed measures of parental attitudes and practices regarding sleep arrangements. Sh…
Cultural specificity of support sources, correlates and contexts: Three studies of African‐American and Caucasian youth
Levels and correlates of parental support, peer support, partner support, and/or spiritual support among African American and Caucasian youth were examined in three contexts: adolescent pregnancy (Study 1), first year of college (Study 2), and adolescence and young adulthood (ages 15–29; Study 3). Partially consistent with a cultural specificity perspective, in different contexts different support sources were higher in level and/or more strongly…
Maternal depression and the quality of early attachment: An examination of infants, preschoolers, and their mothers
Relations between maternal depression and attachment security among 50 infant-mother and 54 preschool child-mother dyads were examined using the classification system of M.D.S. Ainsworth, M.C. Blehar, E. Waters, and S. Wall (1979) and M. Main and J. Solomon (1990) for infants and the Preschool Assessment (P.M. Crittenden, 1992b) for preschoolers. Attachment insecurity was significantly associated with maternal depression among infants and prescho…
