Early social referencing predicts object mastery motivation in infancy: Social antecedents of object mastery motivation
The researchers sought to understand the typical development of social referencing and object mastery motivation in infancy and to determine the relationship between social referencing and object mastery behaviors in infants from 7 to 22 months of age. The study included 36 infants who were followed as part of a longitudinal study of at‐risk infants but were not determined to need care in the neonatal intesive care unit at birth. Both mastery beh…

Sequential analysis of mastery behavior in 6- and 12-month-old infants
We examined the pattern and direction of behaviors that reflect infants* underlying mastery motivation. The sequences of mastery behavior were analyzed in a sample of 67 infants when they were 6 and 12 months old. We computed (a) the frequencies of each of six categories of mastery behavior, transitional probabilities, and z scores for each possible behavior change between the categories and (b) the transitions from a mastery behavior to an insta…
Infants' social-constructive interactions with mothers and fathers
Relation between mastery behavior in infancy and competence in early childhood
The failure of developmental tests in infancy to predict later competence may be because the tests ignore important dimensions of infant functioning. Yarrow and Pedersen (1976) have suggested that one such dimension could be mastery behavior, which involves persistence and investigation. Fifty-three infants were observed at 6 and 12 months during two 24-min play sessions. The Bayley Scales of Infant Development were given at 6 and 12 months, and …
Development course of parental stimulation and its relationship to mastery motivation during infancy
Assessment of mastery motivation during the first year of life: Contemporaneous and cross-age relationships
Maternal risk factors as predictors of developmental outcome in early childhood
This paper describes the rationale, procedures, and initial validation of an instrument which assesses distal environmental factors thought to negatively influence maternal caregiving ability. A sample of 36 lower class, single, black mothers (ranging in age from 14 to 19 years) of first born, full-term infants were included in an educational intervention program carried out during infants' first 12 months of life. The development of the maternal…
Transactional approach to prediction of child maltreatment
The transactional-developmental approach was applied to a prospective longitudinal study of child maltreatment. Maternal background, infant constitutional, mother-infant interactional and maternal perception of infant temperament measures were entered into a multiple linear regression equation to predict child maltreatment. The results provide support for the transactional perspective in understanding the multiple determinants of early child malt…
Attitudinal and Demographic Predictors of Breast-Feeding and Bottle-Feeding Behavior by Mothers of Six-Week-Old Infants
A Feeding Questionnaire and an Inventory of Attitudes on Family Life and Children derived from scales of the Schaefer and Bell (1958) Parental Attitude Research Instrument (PARI) were returned by 41 breastfeeding and 42 bottle-feeding mothers of 6-wk.-old infants to see what attitudinal and demographic variables differentiate middle-income women who breastfeed. Breast-feeding mothers had more years of college, more breast-feeding friends, and per…
Relationships among Attachment Behaviors during Reunion at 13 and 32 Months of Age
Attachment behaviors during the reunion episode of the ‘Strange Situation’ were investigated for 18 mother-infant dyads when the infants were 13 mo. old and then 19 mo. later for a repetition of the procedure when the infants were 32 mo. old. Correlational analyses were performed to assess relationships among the behaviors both within and across ages. Findings indicate that proximal behaviors are interrelated at 13 mo. whereas distal behaviors ar…
Pre-parent education: Proposals and prospects
The competent infant
In 1890, William James spoke of the newborn's world as blooming, buzzing confusion. In his view, the infant could not differentiate the sensory experiences which pervaded his environment. That was the infant of 1890. Today's infant is seen as a highly receptive and actively responsive organism whose sensory-perceptual and learning capabilities are just beginning to be experimentally investigated and understood
Type and frequency of praise as determinants of favorability of self‐image: An experiment in a field setting 1
S ummary An experiment was conducted in a skills training center with a sample of 28 Black female trainees The effects of variations in type (person‐ vs. achievement‐oriented) and frequency (75% vs. 25%) of praise were ascertained on favorableness of selfimage and task performance. It was found that, in general, lower frequencies of praise produced more positive self‐evaluations than high frequencies of praise, and that person‐oriented praise was…
