  • Still‐face and separation effects on depressed mother‐infant interactions

    Open AccessTiffany Field, Maria Hernandez‐Reif et al.ARTICLEInfant Mental Health Journal2007Cited by: 5References: 16

    Maternal emotional and physical unavailability have differential effects on infant interaction behavior as noted in a study by Field, Vega‐Lahr, Scafidi, and Goldstein (1986). In that study, four‐month‐old infants experienced their mother's still face and a brief separation from the mother. Spontaneous interactions preceded and followed these to serve as baseline and reunion episodes. Although the infants became more negative and agitated during …

  • Maternal Psychological Distress, Prenatal Cortisol, and Fetal Weight

    Miguel Diego, Miguel A Diego et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2006

    Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the effects of maternal psychological distress on estimated fetal weight during midgestation and explore the maternal hypothalamic–pituitary axis and sympathoadrenal dysregulation as potential risk factors for these effects. Methods: Fetal ultrasound biometry measurements and maternal sociodemographic characteristics, emotional distress symptoms, and first morning urine samples were collected …

  • Haptic Habituation to Temperature Is Slower in Newborns of Depressed Mothers

    Open AccessMaria Hernandez‐Reif, Tiffany Field et al.ARTICLEInfancy2003

    Forty newborns ( M age = 27 hr old) of depressed and nondepressed mothers were habituated to a cold or warm temperature tube by hand. Both groups of infants habituated the temperature of the tube, as indicated by a decrease in holding, and dishabituated, as indexed by an increase in holding when the temperature of the tube changed. However, the newborns of depressed mothers (a) required twice as long to habituate; (b) showed a sensitization effec…

  • Depressed mothers' newborns show longer habituation and fail to show face/voice preference

    Open AccessMaria Hernandez‐Reif, Tiffany Field et al.ARTICLEInfant Mental Health Journal2002Cited by: 3References: 32

    Twenty neonates of depressed and nondepressed mothers failed to show an initial visual preference for their mother's versus a female stranger's face/voice. Subsequently, infants were habituated to their mother's face and voice. Infants of depressed mothers required 1/3 more trials and almost twice as long to habituate. A posthabituation test with their mother and a different female stranger revealed a preference for the stranger's face for 9 out …

  • BIS/BAS scores are correlated with frontal EEG asymmetry in intrusive and withdrawn depressed mothers

    Open AccessMiguel Diego, Miguel A Diego et al.ARTICLEInfant Mental Health Journal2001Cited by: 1References: 24

    Differences between different style‐depressed mothers, intrusive and withdrawn, were examined by the use of the Behavioral Inhibition and Activation Scales (BIS/BAS) and EEG activity from the mid‐frontal and parietal regions. Analyses revealed that withdrawn mothers had left frontal EEG hypoactivation, higher Behavior Inhibition (BIS), and lower Behavior Activation (BAS) scores than the intrusive mothers. Further analysis revealed that the BIS, t…

  • Less exploring by mouth occurs in newborns of depressed mothers

    Open AccessMaria Hernandez-Reif, Maria Hernandez‐Reif et al.ARTICLEInfant Mental Health Journal2000References: 23

    Twenty-four newborns (M age = 12 days) of depressed and nondepressed mothers were assessed for oral perception of a nubby and smooth texture. Both groups of newborns discriminated between these textures and showed a sucking preference for the smooth texture. However, the newborns of depressed mothers spent 50% less time orally exploring the stimuli, one-third less time exploring the more novel nubby texture, and 59% less time mouthing the smooth …
