  • Maternal depressive symptoms, mother-child interactions, and children’s executive function

    Open AccessNoa Gueron-Sela, The Family Life Project Key Investigators et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2018Citada por: 3Referencias: 10

    This study examined the independent and mediated associations between maternal depression symptoms (MDS), mother-child interaction, and child executive function (EF) in a prospective longitudinal sample of 1,037 children (50% boys) from predominantly low-income and rural communities. When children were 6, 15 and 24 months of age, mothers reported their level of depressive symptomatology. At 24 and 36 months of age, mother-child interactions durin…

  • Mother–child role confusion, child adjustment problems, and the moderating roles of child temperament and sex

    Open AccessBharathi J Zvara, The Family Life Project Key Investigators et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2018Citada por: 3Referencias: 7

    Role confusion is a deviation in the parent-child relationship such that a parent looks to a child to meet the parent's emotional needs and abdicates, in part, the parental role in exchange for care, intimacy, or peer support from the child. In addition, a child may initiate role-confused behavior in order to gain closeness to a parent who is otherwise preoccupied by his or her own needs. The current study examined associations between mother-chi…

  • The Interaction Between Child Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia and Early Sensitive Parenting in the Prediction of Children's Executive Functions

    Open AccessNoa Gueron-Sela, Noa Gueron‐Sela et al.ARTICLEInfancy2017

    This study investigated the interaction between children's parasympathetic functioning and maternal sensitive parenting behaviors during infancy and toddlerhood in the prediction of children's executive functions ( EF ) at the age of 5 years. Participants included 137 children and their mothers who were followed from the age of 3 months to 5 years. Children's cardiac activity was recorded at rest at multiple times from ages 3 to 36 months, and es…

  • Intimate Partner Violence and Children's Attachment Representations During Middle Childhood

    Open AccessHanna C Gustafsson, Geoffrey L Brown et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2017Citada por: 3Referencias: 46

    Despite long-standing hypotheses that intimate partner violence (IPV) may undermine children's ability to form secure attachment representations, few studies have empirically investigated this association. Particularly lacking is research that examines IPV and attachment during middle childhood, a time when the way that children understand, represent, and process the behavior of others becomes particularly important. Using data from a sample of A…

  • Parenting and children’s representations of family predict disruptive and callous-unemotional behaviors

    Open AccessNicholas J Wagner, The Family Life Project Key Investigators et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2015Citada por: 3Referencias: 12

    Data from a large prospective longitudinal study (n = 1,239) was used to investigate the association between observed sensitive parenting in early childhood and children's representations of family relationships as measured by the Family Drawing Paradigm (FDP) in first grade as well as the extent to which these representations partially mediate the influences of early caregiving experiences on later conduct problems and callous-unemotional behavi…

  • Family Violence and Children’s Behavior Problems

    Open AccessThe Family Life Project Key Investigators, Hanna C Gustafsson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Violence2014Citada por: 3Referencias: 7

  • The family model stress and maternal psychological symptoms

    Rebecca Newland, Rebecca P Newland et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Psychology2013

    Although much of the extant research on low-income families has targeted parental depression as the predominant psychological response to economic hardship, the current study examined a range of maternal psychological symptoms that may mediate the relations between early economic pressure and later parenting behaviors. A family stress model was examined using data from 1,142 mothers living in 2 areas of high rural poverty, focusing on the infancy…

  • Relations Among Intimate Partner Violence, Maternal Depressive Symptoms, and Maternal Parenting Behaviors

    Open AccessHanna C Gustafsson, Martha J Cox et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2012Citada por: 10Referencias: 62

    The authors examined the relations among intimate partner violence (IPV), maternal depressive symptoms, and maternal harsh intrusive parenting. Using a cross-lagged, autoregressive path model, they sought to clarify the directionality of the relations among these 3 variables over the first 2 years of the child's life. The results indicated that, in this diverse sample of families living in predominantly low-income rural communities (N = 705), hig…

  • Salivary Cortisol Mediates Effects of Poverty and Parenting on Executive Functions in Early Childhood

    Open AccessClancy Blair, Douglas A Granger et al.ARTICLEChild Development2011

    In a predominantly low-income population-based longitudinal sample of 1,292 children followed from birth, higher level of salivary cortisol assessed at ages 7, 15, and 24 months was uniquely associated with lower executive function ability and to a lesser extent IQ at age 3 years. Measures of positive and negative aspects of parenting and household risk were also uniquely related to both executive functions and IQ. The effect of positive parentin…

  • Adult attachment style and stress as risk factors for early maternal sensitivity and negativity

    Open AccessW Roger Mills‐koonce, Karen Appleyard et al.ARTICLEInfant Mental Health Journal2011Citada por: 6Referencias: 12

    The current study examined the individual and joint effects of self‐reported adult attachment style, psychological distress, and parenting stress on maternal caregiving behaviors at 6 and 12 months of child age. We proposed a diathesis‐stress model to examine the potential deleterious effects of stress for mothers with insecure adult attachment styles. Data from 137 mothers were gathered by the longitudinal Durham Child Health and Development Stu…

  • Father contributions to cortisol responses in infancy and toddlerhood

    W Roger Mills‐koonce, Family Life Project et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2011Citada por: 9Referencias: 5

    The current study is one of the first prospective examinations of longitudinal associations between observed father caregiving behaviors and child cortisol reactivity and regulation in response to emotional arousal. Observations of father and mother caregiving behaviors and child cortisol levels in response to challenges at 7 months and 24 months of child age were collected. Analyses were based on a subsample of children from the Family Life Proj…

  • Paternal Work Stress and Latent Profiles of Father-Infant Parenting Quality

    Open AccessW Benjamin Goodman, Ann C Crouter et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2011Citada por: 16Referencias: 37

    The current study used latent profile analysis (LPA) to examine the implications of fathers' experiences of work stress for paternal behaviors with infants across multiple dimensions of parenting in a sample of fathers living in nonmetropolitan communities (N = 492). LPA revealed five classes of fathers based on levels of social-affective behaviors and linguistic stimulation measured during two father-infant interactions. Multinomial logistic reg…

  • Fathers' Early Emotion Talk

    Open AccessPatricia Garrett-Peters, W Roger Mills‐koonce et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2011Citada por: 7Referencias: 62

    Contextual, mother-, child-, and father-level variables were examined in association with fathers' emotion talk to infants during a shared picture book activity, in an ethnically diverse, low-income sample (N = 549). Significant main effects included the rate of emotion talk from fathers' romantic partners (i.e., the infant's mother), infant attention and distress, and sensitive parenting. Significant interactions were also found. Higher income A…

  • Independent and Interactive Contributions of Parenting Behaviors and Beliefs in the Prediction of Early Childhood Behavior Problems

    Melissa A Barnett, Lilly Shanahan et al.ARTICLEParenting2010Citada por: 5Referencias: 4

    Parenting beliefs and behaviors should be considered jointly to identify risks for the development of early behavior problems

  • Patterns of couple interaction during the transition to parenthood

    Open AccessRenate Houts, Renate M Houts et al.ARTICLEPersonal Relationships2008

    Using latent transition analysis, this study identified Constructive and Destructive marital problem‐solving patterns in couples prenatally and at 3, 12, and 24 months postbirth. Most couples remained in the same group across the 2 years (27.5% and 52.2% who started as Destructive and Constructive, respectively). Always Destructive spouses reported more depressive symptomatology and more negative and less positive views of marriage than Always Co…

  • Cumulative Social Risk, Parenting, and Infant Development in Rural Low-Income Communities

    Margaret Burchinal, Lynne Vernon‐feagan et al.ARTICLEParenting2008Citada por: 21Referencias: 20

    OBJECTIVE: The extent to which the severity of exposure to social risk is related to parenting and cognitive development in the first 15 months of an infant's life was studied in a representative diverse sample of families in two rural poor regions in the United States. DESIGN: One thousand two hundred ninety-two families were followed for the first 15 months of the infant's life. RESULTS: Evidence supported a pathway from risk severity through m…

  • Early Environmental Correlates of Maternal Emotion Talk

    Patricia Garrett-Peters, W Roger Mills‐koonce et al.ARTICLEParenting2008Citada por: 9Referencias: 29

    OBJECTIVE: The primary goal of this study was to examine contextual, child, and maternal factors that are associated with mothers' early emotion talk in an ethnically diverse, low-income sample. DESIGN: Emotion talk (positive and negative labels) was coded for 1111 mothers while engaged with their 7-month-olds in viewing an emotion-faces picture book. Infant attention during the interaction was also coded. Mothers' parenting style (positive engag…

  • Pathways from infant exposure to marital conflict to parent–toddler role reversal

    Open AccessJohn Macfie, Jenny Macfie et al.ARTICLEInfant Mental Health Journal2008Citada por: 1Referencias: 58

    We know that exposure to marital conflict places infants at risk, but we know less about processes. One process may be role reversal, when a distressed parent looks to the child to meet unmet needs for comfort, intimacy, or companionship. A parent in marital conflict may be particularly prone to role reversal, which in turn adversely affects child development. The current study examined pathways from infants' exposure to marital conflict at 12 mo…

  • Paternal Work Characteristics and Father-Infant Interactions in Low-Income, Rural Families

    Open AccessW Benjamin Goodman, Ann C Crouter et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2008Citada por: 9Referencias: 30

    To examine the implications of paternal occupational conditions for the quality of father-infant interactions, home visits, including interviews and videotaped observations of father-infant interactions, were conducted with 446 fathers living in six low-income, nonmetropolitan counties in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. When a variety of individual and demographic characteristics were controlled for, a less supportive work environment was associ…
