  • Predicting Patterns of Regulatory Behavior in the Still‐Face Paradigm at 3 Months

    Open AccessMiguel Barbosa, Marjorie Beeghly et al.ARTICLEInfancy2019

    The current study addressed two aims: (1) to describe different patterns of infant regulatory behavior during the Face‐to‐Face Still‐Face ( FFSF ) paradigm at 3 months of age and (2) to identify specific, independent predictors of these patterns from an a priori set of demographic, infant (e.g., temperament), and maternal (e.g., sensitivity) variables. Analyses were based on data collected for 121 mother–infant dyads assessed longitudinally in th…

  • DNA methylation of NR3c1 in infancy: Associations between maternal caregiving and infant sex

    Open AccessElisabeth Conradt, Brendan Ostlund et al.ARTICLEInfant Mental Health Journal2019Cited by: 2References: 32

    Caregivers play a critical role in scaffolding infant stress reactivity and regulation, but the mechanisms by which this scaffolding occurs is unclear. Animal models strongly suggest that epigenetic processes, such as DNA methylation, are sensitive to caregiving behaviors and, in turn, offspring stress reactivity. We examined the direct effects of caregiving behaviors on DNA methylation in infants and infant stress reactivity. Infants and mothers…

  • Robust stability and physiological correlates of infants’ patterns of regulatory behavior in the still-face paradigm at 3 and 9 months

    Miguel Barbosa, Marjorie Beeghly et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2018Cited by: 4References: 7

    This study examined the stability of three patterns of infant regulatory behavior identified in the face-to-face still-face (FFSF) paradigm at 3 and 9 months-social-positive oriented, distressed-inconsolable, and self-comfort oriented-and whether variations in infants' heart-rate were correlated with them. Although some studies have examined the stability of discrete infant behaviors, none have investigated the stability of early regulatory patte…

  • Predictors of infant positive, negative and self-direct coping during face to face still-face in a Portuguese preterm sample

    Open AccessMarina Fuertes, Marjorie Beeghly et al.ARTICLEAnálise Psicológica2012

    Past studies found three types of infant coping behaviour during Face-to-Face Still-Face paradigm (FFSF): a Positive Other-Directed Coping; a Negative Other-Directed Coping and a Self-Directed Coping. In the present study, we investigated whether those types of coping styles are predicted by: infants’ physiological responses; maternal representations of their infant’s temperament; maternal interactive behaviour in free play; and infant birth and …

  • Infants of Depressed Mothers

    Edward Z Tronick, Edward Tronick et al.ARTICLEHarvard Review of Psychiatry2009

    Depression is the most frequent psychiatric disorder and has long-term, compromising effects on the mother-infant relationship and the child's development. The infant continuously faces a climate of negative affect that disrupts the interactive experience of the infant and the mother. This article presents findings on the impact of maternal depression on the infant affective state and the specific interactive patterns associated with infant affec…

  • Effects of maternal depression and panic disorder on mother–infant interactive behavior in the Face‐to‐Face Still‐Face paradigm

    Open AccessM Katherine Weinberg, Marjorie Beeghly et al.ARTICLEInfant Mental Health Journal2008Cited by: 2References: 54

    The present study evaluated the interactive behavior of three groups of mothers and their 3‐month‐old infants in the Face‐to‐Face Still‐Face paradigm. The mothers had either a clinical diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD, n = 33) with no comorbidity, a clinical diagnosis of panic disorder (PD, n = 13) with no comorbidity, or no clinical diagnosis ( n = 48). The sample was selected to be at otherwise low social and medical risk, and all mo…

  • A Mediational Model for the Impact of Exposure to Community Violence on Early Child Behavior Problems

    Open AccessL Oriana Linares, Timothy Heeren et al.ARTICLEChild Development2001Cited by: 30References: 3

    This study examined how maternal distress mediates the link between exposure to community violence (CV) and the development of early child behavior problems. Research was conducted among 160 children, 3,0 to 5,11 in age, who resided in high-crime neighborhoods. Using structural equation modeling, latent variables were constructed to identify model components: maternal socioeconomic status (SES) and public assistance status, exposure to CV (matern…

  • The Infant's Response to Entrapment between Contradictory Messages in Face-to-Face Interaction

  • Mutuality in Mother-Infant Interaction

    Open AccessEdward Tronick, Edward D Tronick et al.ARTICLEJournal of Communication1977

    The survey experiment data was collected by the polling company YouGov Denmark, who have access to large panels of respondents in each of the two countries. 1000 respondents in each country who identified as Christian, Protestant or Catholic when asked what religion, if any, they belong to in a screening question were entered into the full questionnaire. YouGov collects information on the gender, age, geographic region and education of their pane…
