Dyadic Flexibility in Early Parent-Child Interactions: Relations with Maternal Depressive Symptoms and Child Negativity and Behaviour Problems

Lower levels of parent-child affective flexibility indicate risk for children's problem outcomes. This short-term longitudinal study examined whether maternal depressive symptoms were related to lower levels of dyadic affective flexibility and positive affective content in mother-child problem-solving interactions at age 3.5 years (N=100) and whether these maternal and dyadic factors predicted child emotional negativity and behavior problems at a 4-month follow-up. Dyadic flexibility and positive affect were measured using dynamic systems-based modeling of second-by-second affective patterns during a mother-child problem-solving task. Results showed that higher levels of maternal depressive symptoms were related to lower levels of dyadic affective flexibility, which predicted children's higher levels of negativity and behavior problems as rated by teachers. Mothers' ratings of child negativity and behavior problems were predicted by their own depressive symptoms and individual child factors, but not by dyadic flexibility. There were no effects of dyadic positive affect. Findings highlight the importance of studying patterns in real-time dyadic parent-child interactions as potential mechanisms of risk in developmental psychopathology.

Infant negative reactivity defines the effects of parent–child synchrony on physiological and behavioral regulation of social stress

How infants shape their own development has puzzled developmentalists for decades. Recent models suggest that infant dispositions, particularly negative reactivity and regulation, affect outcome by determining the extent of parental effects. Here, we used a microanalytic experimental approach and proposed that infants with varying levels of negative reactivity will be differentially impacted by parent–infant synchrony in predicting physiological and behavioral regulation of increasing social stress during an experimental paradigm. One hundred and twenty-two mother–infant dyads (4–6 months) were observed in the face-to-face still face (SF) paradigm and randomly assigned to three experimental conditions: SF with touch, standard SF, and SF with arms’ restraint. Mother–infant synchrony and infant negative reactivity were observed at baseline, and three mechanisms of behavior regulation were microcoded; distress, disengagement, and social regulation. Respiratory sinus arrhythmia baseline...

Self-Regulatory Processes in Early Development

Edward Tronick
In this chapter, we focus on the emergence of self-regulatory processes during infancy, as framed in biopsychosocial context. We begin with a brief review of the neurobiological underpinnings of early self-regulatory processes and how self-regulatory systems develop in early childhood. Next, given that infants come into the world highly dependent on caregiver support for their survival, we argue that the emergence of self-regulation occurs primarily in a relational context, and that the capacity for self-regulation reflects both self- and parent–infant co-regulatory processes. We also provide evidence to show that variations in these early self- and parent–infant regulatory processes are linked to children’s resilient or maladaptive functioning in later life. We illustrate our arguments with findings from developmental research on self-regulation in at-risk populations and in diverse contextual–cultural settings. After a brief discussion of the implications of this literature for pr...

The role of mothers’ global and parenting-specific emotionality in relation to parenting and toddlers’ emotion dysregulation

The quality of caregiving that infants receive is critical for predicting adaptive social and emotional outcomes. Research has examined the degree to which characteristics of the mother contribute to the caregiving environment. The goals of this study were to a) examine the direct effects of maternal global negative and positive emotionality on parenting-specific emotions, b) test the degree to which parenting-specific emotionality mediates the association between maternal global negativity and positive emotionality and maternal sensitivity to distress, c) examine the degree to which maternal sensitivity mediated the associations between maternal global and parenting-specific emotionality and toddlers’ emotion dysregulation, and d) determine the degree to which infant temperament moderated the association between maternal sensitivity to distress and toddlers’ emotion dysregulation. Drawing from a sample of 259 first time mothers, maternal global emotionality was assessed prenatally ...
