How educators shape children’s behavior
This study examined how early childhood educators and children contribute to the replication of behavioral models across successive interaction contexts. Three independent but sequential 15-minute field observations were conducted using the unstructured cooperative task, Tandem Situation: first, an educator worked in partnership with one child; second, this child worked with another child, replicating the first observation without the educator; a…
What do adults learn through play regarding interactions and communication with children
It is well established that the amount of time children spend playing reflects on their learning, quality of exploration, and relationships. However, little is known about what the main benefits for adults are. In this study, we explore the association between the adults’ daily time spent playing with their children (in minutes) and the adults’ quality of interactive behavior and their amount of verbal behavior. Participants are 19 mothers, 17 fa…
Health and Psychological Predictors of Antibiotic Use in Infancy and Fathers’ Role
Previous research has shown that antibiotic use during the first year is associated with infants’ difficult behavior, maternal low sensitivity, and infant insecure-ambivalent attachment. However, these results may depend on the extent and type of parental involvement, paternal stress related to infant care, or the infant’s exposure to infections. To explore this question, we analyzed the relationship between these factors and examined potential p…
The challenges of stillness
Possibly, mothers who violate the SF to soothe their infants are more empathic and more likely to be a "safe haven" in stressful situations, contributing to secure relationships. However, mothers who violated SF for other reasons need further investigation and are linked with disorganized/disoriented infant attachment
Continuity, Stability, and Prediction of Sensitivity and Involvement in Portuguese Father-Infant Free Play Interactions at 3 and 9 Months
Objective. Although continuity and stability in parental sensitivity promote a sense of security and predictability for infants and are linked to a variety of positive child outcomes, research with fathers is relatively rare. The present Portuguese longitudinal study investigates mean group-level continuity (vs. discontinuity) and individual-order stability (vs. instability) of ratings of paternal sensitivity and other dimensions of father-infant…
Predicting attachment in Portuguese infants born very or extremely preterm
A growing body of research shows that early attachment relationships are foundational for children's later developmental and psychosocial outcomes. However, findings are mixed regarding whether preterm birth predicts later attachment, but insecurity is generally more prevalent among infants at higher medical and/or social/familial risk. This longitudinal study aimed to identify specific relational, familial/demographic, and perinatal predictors o…
Antibiotic Consumption, Illness, and Maternal Sensitivity in Infants with a Disorganized Attachment
Prior research found an association between mother-infant attachment and antibiotic use. Ambivalent-attached infants are more likely to take antibiotics than other infants, and their mothers tend to be less sensitive to their needs than most. This finding is important because it shows the association between psychological processes, early relationships, and health outcomes. We aim to learn about children with high-risk attachment relationships, s…
Interacting and communicating with children
Educators’ acts and verbalizations toward children during daily routines can promote children's early participation, self-agency, and self-esteem. In this study, we investigate the association between the educator’s type of Verbalizations (Number of Suggestions, Directions, Orders, Positive and Negative Feedback, Teaching, Questions) and the quality of their Interactive Behavior (cf. Empathy, Pedagogical Challenging, Cooperation, Reciprocity and …
A self‐comfort oriented pattern of regulatory behavior and avoidant attachment are more likely among infants born moderate‐to‐late preterm

Emotional Availability in Mother-Child and Father-Child Interactions as Predictors of Child’s Attachment Representations in Adoptive Families
Emotional availability (EA) in parent-child interactions is associated with positive child outcomes, including attachment security. However, little is known about EA in adoptive families. This study investigated the associations between secure representations of attachment in adopted children and the adoptive parents' EA. The participants ( n = 75) included 26 mothers, 23 fathers, and 26 children who were aged 3 to 9 years. Children completed the…
Maternal sensitivity and mother-infant attachment are associated with antibiotic uptake in infancy
Attachment security has been associated with health status and symptom reporting. In this longitudinal study, we investigated the association between antibiotics uptake by infants at 9-months and mother-infant attachment at 12-months. Logistic regression analyses indicated that lower maternal sensitivity was associated with increased odds of antibiotic uptake. Furthermore, 89.7% of insecure-ambivalent infants consumed antibiotics, which contraste…
Face-to-Face Still-Face
Some studies indicate differences in self-regulatory behaviors of infants, depending on their gestational age. This paper aimed to compare interactive behaviors of full-term and preterm infants in the Face-to-Face Still-Face (FFSF) paradigm. Thirty prematurely born infants and thirty full-term infants were observed in the FFSF’s experimental procedure, which consists in exposing the infant to two episodes of interaction with the mother plus anoth…
Interactive behaviors between mothers and their prematurely born infants in the face-to-face Still-Face Paradigm
The present study compared and correlated interactive behaviors of 15 mothers and their very preterm infants (gestational age: 28-32 weeks). Mothers and infants were observed in the experimental Face-to-Face Still-Face paradigm, consisting of three episodes: in the first and third episodes (play and reunion episodes), mother and infant interact freely; in the second (still-face episode), the mother maintains a still-face expression. The behaviors…
Predicting Patterns of Regulatory Behavior in the Still‐Face Paradigm at 3 Months
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…
Relação mãe-filho(a) em bebés transportados junto ao peito e em bebés transportados em carrinhos
Sabendo que o contacto físico é importante na relação mãe-filho(a), procurámos comparar a qualidade da interação mãe-filho(a) em dois grupos de estudo: Grupo 1) 20 bebés transportados junto ao peito das suas mães e Grupo 2) 20 bebés transportados em carrinhos ou outros meios auxiliares. Os dois grupos foram emparelhados por idade gestacional, peso gestacional, por idade da criança, sexo da criança, idades dos pais, nível socioeconómico, e naciona…
Estudo comparativo acerca do comportamento e comunicação materna e paterna em atividade conjunta com os seus filhos de idade pré-escolar
A investigação tende a descrever o pai como parceiro de jogo que favorece a liberdade de ação; enquanto a mãe, tende a reforçar a comunicação nas interações, envolvendo afetivamente a criança. Nos casos em que a mãe brinca e o pai presta cuidados básicos à criança, a qualidade da interação pai-filhos aumenta consideravelmente. Neste estudo, observamos pai e mãe independentemente na mesma situação experimental como parceiros da criança numa ativid…
Robust stability and physiological correlates of infants’ patterns of regulatory behavior in the still-face paradigm at 3 and 9 months
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…
Contributos para a auto-regulação do bebé no Paradigma Face-to-Face Still-Face
Logo após o nascimento o recém-nascido apresenta comportamentos instintivos de auto-regulação, sendo capaz de controlar as suas respostas motoras e vegetativas isolando-se de estímulos perturbadores, organizando-se face ao stress e iniciando ou terminando a interação com os pais. Estes comportamentos evoluem ao longo do primeiro ano de vida. A partir dos 3 meses estes comportamentos parecem organizar-se em estilos comportamentais e ter um peso mo…
Pais e mães protegem, acarinham e brincam de formas diferentes
O presente artigo derevisão dedica-se a comparar e a analisar a relação materna e paterna davinculação. A literatura indica que a vinculação segura é mais frequente em díadesmãe-filho do que em díades pai-filho, e que as mães em média são mais sensíveisdos que os pais. Contudo, as medidas de avaliação da sensibilidade foram, namaior dos casos, aferidas em estudos da relação mãe-filho(a). Importa,compreender as diferenças entre mães e pais num qua…
Interacção Mãe -filho e qualidade da vinculação em crianças com alterações neuromotoras
O presente trabalho investiga a organização dos processos de vinculação em crianças com alterações neuromotoras. A amostra incluía 11 rapazes e 8 raparigas portadores de paralisia cerebral, cuja idade variava entre os 18 e os 32 meses. Estes participantes foram avaliados através de uma versão adaptada da Situação Estranha. Ignorando os sinais D associados aos quadros de alteração neuromotora, verificou-se que 18 das 19 crianças exibiam padrões de…
Reactividade infantil e a qualidade da interacção mãe-filho
No quadro dos estudos sobre o relacionamento mãe-filho, procurámos averiguar a relação entre a reactividade infantil observada em condições de stress e a qualidade do comportamento interactivo infantil e materno em jogo livre. Para o efeito, seleccionámos uma amostra de 40 díades mãe-filho cujos bebés tinham cerca de 3 meses e não apresentavam nenhuma condição declarada de risco. A qualidade da interacção mãe-filho foi avaliada em jogo livre atra…
Predictors of infant positive, negative and self-direct coping during face to face still-face in a Portuguese preterm sample
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 …
