Engaging Parents About the Importance of Play: The Impact of a Brief, Arts‐Informed Community Presentation
Objective This study evaluated the effectiveness of an arts‐informed approach to parent education using a 50‐minute, arts‐informed parent education presentation that integrated the creative arts (e.g., film, photography, music, dance, and design). The focus of the arts‐informed program was to communicate more effectively about the importance of play for child and adult development. Background Arts‐informed or arts‐based educational approaches hav…
Incorporating the creative arts in an educational presentation about play: A Novel Strategy for Enhancing Communication and Engagement With Parents
To engage parents more fully and enhance communication with them about the benefits of play, as well as the importance of play in their own lives, a novel strategy of incorporating the creative arts in a multimedia presentation was adopted. The 50-minute presentation, called ThroughPlay, relied on collaborations with local artists and used the creative arts to help translate ideas about play in more emotionally compelling ways. This article is or…
Attachment to Mothers and Fathers during Middle Childhood: Associations with Child Gender, Grade, and Competence
Attachment relationships of first, third, and fifth graders with their mothers and fathers, and their associations with self‐perceived and teacher‐rated competence, were investigated. Children rated their attachment security with mothers and fathers using the Kerns security scale. Children's perceptions of academic and peer competence were measured using Harter's self‐perception profile, and teachers also rated children's competence. Girls felt g…
Origins of Attachment: The Role of Context, Duration, Frequency of Observation, and Infant Age in Measuring Maternal Behavior
A total of 32 Caucasian women and their first-born infants (16 male, 16 female) were observed in multiple naturalistic and single free-play interactions at 1-, 4- and 9-months infant age: setting and coding procedures were held constant. Infant-mother attachment quality was assessed at 1 year. Analyses examined similarities among and differences between data derived from the two interactional contexts, and the relative utility of each in explaini…
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…
Interactional Synchrony and the Origins of Infant-Mother Attachment: A Replication Study
Continuity and discontinuity in infant negative and positive emotionality: Family antecedents and attachment consequences
This study was based on the premise that much of the instability evident in research on infant emotionality/temperament is a function not so much of measurement error (as typically presumed) but lawful discontinuity. Infants who changed from high to low and from low to high levels of negative or positive emotionality between 3 and 9 months of age were compared with infants who remained stable during the period on distal measures of the family env…

Marital Change During the Transition to Parenthood and Security of Infant-Parent Attachment
To extend research on the characteristics and determinants of marital change during the transition to parenthood to include the consequences of such change, the security of infant-parent attachment was examined. Drawing on data from a longitudinal study of infant and family development, groups were formed on the basis of attachment security at one year and compared in terms of patterns of marital change displayed by mothers and fathers. Mothers o…
