Objective Aiming to broaden our understanding of parental gender differences within the framework of attachment theory, this study explores how parents' prenatal attachment styles relate to parenting stress, parent–infant interaction, and paternity leave, by investigating how attachment styles and gender interact to predict parenting outcomes. Background The attachment system is at the core of parental adjustments during the perinatal period, und…

039) symptoms. Paternal self-reported warmth predicted lower externalizing symptoms, but no association was found for internalizing symptoms. Neither self-reported nor observed paternal warmth was found to moderate the relation between paternal prenatal risk and infant externalizing or internalizing symptoms, suggesting that paternal warmth may not serve as a single protective factor in buffering the potential detrimental effects of paternal cumu…

Dyadic parent–infant interaction patterns at 12 months
This study investigates differences in dyadic mother–infant and father–infant interaction patterns at infant age 12 months, and the relation between different parent–infant gender compositions and the dyadic interaction. Data were drawn from a large‐scale, population‐based Norwegian community sample comprising 671 mother–infant and 337 father–infant interactions. The Early Relational Health Screen (ERHS), a screening method for observing dyadic p…
The context and development of the early relational health screen
Early relational experiences are key drivers for developing social emotional capacities, educational achievement, mental health, physical health, and overall wellbeing. The child health sectors are committed to promotion, prevention, and early intervention that optimize children's health and development, often employing evidence‐based screening as foundational practices. Despite a variety of validated parent‐infant observational assessment tools,…
Iodine status during pregnancy and at 6 weeks, 6, 12 and 18 months post‐partum
Iodine deficiency during pregnancy and in the post-partum period may lead to impaired child development. Our aim is to describe iodine status longitudinally in women from pregnancy until 18 months post-partum. Furthermore, we explore whether iodine status is associated with dietary intake, iodine-containing supplement use and breastfeeding status from pregnancy until 18 months post-partum. We also assess the correlation between maternal iodine st…
Foster children are at risk for developing problems in social-emotional functioning
Foster children are at risk for becoming less well-adjusted in their social-emotional functioning due to possible abuse and neglect prior to placement. There is no consistent evidence that foster children’s social-emotional functioning improves in foster care, and externalizing behavior has specifically been linked to placement disruption. Investigations of foster children’s functioning over time and with multiple informants are scarce. Our first…

This study investigates whether fathers’ adverse childhood experiences (ACE) and attachment style reported during pregnancy predict fathers’ perception of child behavior assessed 12 months postpartum, expressed by the Parenting Stress Index (PSI), Child Domain. Prospective fathers ( N = 835) were recruited to “The Little in Norway (LiN) study” (Moe & Smith) at nine well‐baby clinics in Norway, with data collection composed of five time points dur…

Temperamental Adaptability, Persistence, and Regularity
There is a need for standardized measures of infant temperament to strengthen current practices in prevention and early intervention. The present study provides Norwegian data on the Cameron‐Rice Infant Temperament Questionnaire (CRITQ; J.R. Cameron & D.C. Rice, 1986a), which comprises 46 items and is used within a U.S. health maintenance organization. The CRITQ was filled out by mothers and fathers at 6 and again at 12 months as part of a longit…
Cognitive and Socioemotional Functioning at 41⁄2 Years in Children Born to Mothers Who Have Received Treatment for Substance‐abuse Problems While Pregnant
Cognitive and socioemotional functioning at 41⁄2 years of age were examined in children born to mothers with substance‐abuse problems ( n = 22) recruited from residential treatment institutions while pregnant, and then compared to children born to mothers with mental health problems ( n = 18) and children from a low‐risk group ( n = 26). No significant group differences in cognitive functioning were found, but the children born to mothers with su…
Does Fathers' Prenatal Mental Health Bear a Relationship to Parenting Stress at 6 Months

Abidin, ). A total of 835 fathers contributed data to the study. Data collection comprised five time points during pregnancy and one at 6 months’ postpartum. The main analyses were perf…
Prospective Fathers’ Adverse Childhood Experiences, Pregnancy-Related Anxiety, and Depression During Pregnancy
There is a growing knowledge of the predictors of depressive or anxious feelings during pregnancy among prospective fathers, and the present study investigates how paternal adverse childhood experiences relate to anxious and depressive feelings during pregnancy. Participants were recruited to “The Little in Norway Study (LIN-study)” (2010) at different well-baby clinics in Norway; 976 fathers consented to participate in the study, of which 881 ha…

Foster Parents’ State of Mind With Respect to Attachment
The present study investigated the possible differences between foster and comparison parents’ state of mind with respect to attachment, and the concordance between caregiver state of mind and child attachment classifications among 60 foster children, all placed before the age of 2 years, as well as 42 comparison children. Caregiver state of mind was measured when the children were 2 years old (Time 1) while child attachment classifications were …

Relation Between Social Withdrawal Symptoms in Full‐term and Premature Infants and Depressive Symtoms in Mothers
The objective of this longitudinal study was to investigate the prevalence of infants' social withdrawal and mothers’ depressive symptoms in a cohort of full‐term infants and their mothers and in a cohort of moderately premature infants and their mothers at 3, 6, and 9 months’ postpartum. The Alarm Distress Baby Scale (ADBB) was used to assess social withdrawal; the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was administered to ascertain postpar…
The Role of Joint Attention in Later Development Among Preterm Children
Joint attention is a hallmark of human cognition. It refers to the capacity to coordinate attention to objects and events with attention to other people. Infants display considerable individual differences in this capacity. This longitudinal study of 13‐month‐old preterms was conducted to examine the hypothesis that two different types of joint‐attention skills assessed in an infant–tester paradigm are related to verbal and nonverbal IQ measures …
