Parenting Preschoolers in Rural Appalachia: Measuring Attitudes and Behaviors and their Relations to Child Development
SYNOPSIS Objective. This study examines the relations between multiple measures of parenting attitudes and behaviors and to child development in a sample of low-SES rural Appalachian European American families. Design. Seventy mothers completed questionnaire measures of parenting attitudes and behaviors, described their parenting behaviors in open-ended interviews, and were observed interacting with their child in the laboratory. Children were as…
Demographic and Psychosocial Characteristics of Smokers and Nonsmokers in Low‐Socioeconomic Status Rural Appalachian 2‐Parent Families in Southern West Virginia
Context: Rural Appalachian women living in poverty have a high prevalence of prenatal smoking; yet, few studies have examined this issue. Purpose: To investigate the demographic and psychosocial characteristics of prenatal smokers and nonsmokers in low–socioeconomic status, rural Appalachian 2‐parent families. Methods: During an 18‐month period, two thirds of eligible low–socioeconomic status prenatal patients were recruited for a longitudinal st…
Attachment in low‐SES rural Appalachian infants: Contextual, infant, and maternal interaction risk and protective factors
Attachment classifications were obtained for 95 low‐socioeconomic‐status (SES) rural Appalachian infants in the Strange Situation procedure at 15 months. The distribution of secure (B) and insecure (A, C, D) infants was similar to other low‐SES samples and significantly different from low‐risk samples. Levels of contextual and infant risk, together with maternal responsiveness to crying and pattern of sensitivity from 4 to 9 months, predicted att…
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…
Temperament and attachment revisited: Origin and meaning of separation intolerance at age three
A study of 98 mother-child pairs investigated separation intolerance at age three in terms of temperament and attachment security. Results suggested that interaction of temperamental proneness to distress and secure attachment history leads to intolerance of a lengthy laboratory separation at this age. A hypothesis that intolerance of separation in such a context represents adaptive coping for distress-prone children was tested and received suppo…
