Korhonen, J. (Jasmi). "Development of foster mother-child attachment". Master's thesis, University of Oulu, 2014. http://urn.fi/URN:NBN:fi:oulu-201405211433.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The impact of early attachment relationships and child-adult attachment relationships to children’s social and emotional development has been recognised for a long time. Since the pioneering attachment theories of John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth highlighting the importance of secure child-adult attachments, many other theories from various perspectives have risen to fill in the gaps. These theories are examined with the framework of foster care in mind. In Finland, the primary solution for children in insufficient care is family-based foster care. In practice, a child is placed in a new family, while maintaining contact with their biological family. Previous studies have shown that young children tend to form new attachment relationships in the foster family (Cole, 2005). The formation of new attachment relationships in foster care settings can be affected by many external factors, such as foster parent behaviour (Schofield & Beek, 2008; Dozier et al., 2006), foster parents’ attitude towards biological parents (Andersson, 2008) and age of the child at the time of placement (Smyke, Zeanah, Fox, Nelson & Guthrie, 2010). Some studies also suggest that keeping contact with biological parents may in fact increase the foster child’s chances of forming secure attachments in the foster family and identifying with the foster family (Haight et al., 2003). In addition to existing theories and foster care studies and interventions, this thesis utilises the narratives of three Finnish foster mothers in answering the research question: “How do foster mother-child attachment relationships develop in foster families?” The foster mothers were instructed to write about their relationship with their foster child(ren), with reference to the development of their relationship, the nature of the current relationship, and what they think their relationship will be in the future. The three narratives are analysed from a phenomenological perspective, with the help of Giorgi’s Psychological Phenomenological Method. All of the three narratives give accounts of attachment formation between the foster mother and foster children, and include reference to themes such as age at time of placement, the process of forming an attachment, and keeping contact with the biological family. They also bring out the paradoxical nature of fostering a child, of not being the real parent but having to behave as one, and how this affects the foster mother emotionally. All three foster mothers highlight the impact of the foster child’s previous attachment relationships to the formation of their relationship with the child. Furthermore, the foster mothers’ experiences give reason to believe that the younger the child is at the time of placement, the easier it is for them to form an attachment to the foster motherVarhaisten lapsi-aikuinen kiintymyssuhteiden vaikutus lapsen sosiaaliseen- ja tunnekehitykseen on jo pitkään tunnistettu. John Bowlbyn ja Mary Ainsworthin uraauurtavat kiintymyssuhdeteoriat painottavat etenkin turvallisen kiintymyksen tärkeyttä lapsen tulevan kehityksen kannalta. Näiden tunnettujen kiintymyssuhdeteorioiden jälkeen muita, eri näkökulmista kiintymystä tarkastelevia teorioita on kehitetty lisäämään ymmärrystämme kiintymyssuhdeilmiöstä. Tässä tutkimuksessa kiintymyssuhdeteorioita tarkastellaan nnen kaikkea sijaisperhetoiminnan näkökulmasta. Jos lapsi joudutaan sijoittamaan muualle kuin biologisen perheensä luo syystä tai toisesta, on Suomessa ensisijainen ratkaisu sijaisperhehoito. Käytännössä tämä tarkoittaa, että lapsi siirretään uuteen perheeseen, mutta hän silti säilyttää yhteyden biologiseen perheeseensä. Aikaisemmat tutkimuksen osoittavat, että pienet lapset useimmiten muodostavat uusia kiintymyssuhteita sijaisperheessään (Cole, 2005). Uusien kiintymyssuhteiden muodostumiseen voivat vaikuttaa monet ulkoiset tekijät, kuten sijasvanhemman käytös (Schofield & Beek, 2008; Dozier et al., 2006), sijaisperheen asenne lapsen biologisia vanhempia kohtaan (Andersson, 2008) ja lapsen ikä sijoituksen alkaessa (Smyke, Zeanah, Fox, Nelson & Guthrie, 2010). On myös tutkittu, että sijaislapsen kiintymystä sijaisperheeseensä voi vahvistaa jatkuva yhteydenpito biologisiin vanhempiin, sen sijaan että se toimisi kiintymystä heikentävänä tekijänä (Haight et al., 2003). Olemassaolevien teorioiden ja sijaisperhetutkimusten lisäksi, kolmen suomalaisen sijaisäidin narratiiveja käytetään apuna vastaamaan tutkimuskysymykseen: ”Miten sijaisäidin ja sijaislapsen välinen kiintymyssuhde kehittyy?” Sijaisäitejä pyydettiin kirjoittamaan heidän suhteestaan sijaislapseen sekä sijoituksen alussa, että tällä hetkellä. Lisäksi heitä pyydettiin arvioimaan millainen suhteensa sijaislapseen olisi tulevaisuudessa. Narratiivit analysoitiin fenomenologisesta näkökulmasta, käyttäen avuksi Giorgin psykologista fenomenologista metodia. Kaikki kolme narratiivia sisältävät tietoa yhteisistä teemoista, kuten lapsen iästä sijoituksen alussa, kiintymyssuhteen muodostumisesta, sekä yhteydenpidosta biologiseen perheeseen. Ne tuovat myös esiin sijaishoidon paradoksaalisen luonteen, sen kuinka sijaisvanhemman tulisi käyttäytyä kuin lapsen oma vanhempi sitä kuitenkaan olematta, ja kuinka tämä vaikuttaa sijaisäitiin henkisesti. Kaikki sijaisäidit myös korostavat lapsen olemassaolevien kiintymyssuhteiden vaikutusta suhteeseensa sijaislapsen kanssa. Sijaisäitien kertomukset antavat jopa viitteitä siihen, että mitä nuorempana lapsi sijoitetaan sijaiskotiin, sitä helpompaa hänelle on muodostaa uusi kiintymyssuhde sijaisäitiin

Luo, Chewe Angela. "Mother to child transmission of HIV : maternal and child characteristics". Thesis, University of Liverpool, 2000. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.367181.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
A prospective study at the University Teaching Hospital of 306 women with their infants, who were enrolled at delivery, was conducted in 1997. The primary aim was to define the magnitude and effects of maternal human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV) infection on obstetric problems and infant outcome. Women were mainly over 19 years (87.3%), literate (73.7%) and married (91.4%), with no formal income (75.7%). 48.2% and 46.7% had antenatal or post-partum anaemia (PPA) and of these 1.8% and 6.2% were severely anaemic. Low post-partum (PP) serum retinol «0.7f.lmoI/L) and CD4 counts «400 cells/mm3 ) occurred in 12.8% and 16.2% of the women. The commonest obstetric problems were previous child death (32.4%), malaria treatment during pregnancy (32.6%), previous abortion (16.4%) and hypertension (13.7%). Post-partum, 30.1% of the women were HIV infected, 14.9% rapid plasma reagin (RPR) positive and 4.5% hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive. Factors independently associated with HIV infection were: alcohol intake during pregnancy (RR 5.67); ante-partum haemorrhage (RR 5.85); PP HBsAg positivity (RR 27.45); low PP CD4 cell count (RR 10.63) and PPA (RR 3.99). Primigravidae had a lower risk ofHIV infection (RR OJ). For PPA independent risk factors were: caesarean section (RR 9.95); HIV infection (RR 2.81) and low PP mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) (RR 8.33); mean corpuscular volume (MCV) (RR 2.39) and serum retinol (RR 3.03). Alcohol intake during pregnancy (RR 0.22) and low PP maternal weight (RR 0.10) were associated with reduced risk ofPPA. The prevalence of low birth weight (LBW; weight <2.5kg), pre-term delivery «37 weeks gestation) and intra-uterine growth retardation (IUGR; weight < lOth centile for gestational age) were 18.9%, 23.8% and 25.9%. These showed no association with maternal HIV infection although the mean birth weight was significantly lower in children born of HIV infected mothers (P=0.006). In HN non-infected women, antenatal anaemia was independently associated with increased risk pre-term delivery (RR 5.l2) and low birth weight (RR 5.08). Low PP serum retinol increased the risk of IUGR (RR 3.10). In HN infected women, lack of paternal income was associated with pre-term delivery (RR 11.7), IUGR with LBW (RR 3.59) and antibiotic treatment in pregnancy with IUGR (RR 5.85). The cumulative rate of HN mother to child transmission (MTCT) at 1 year of age was 31 %, with 10.3%, 1O.l% and 9.l% of infants DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positive at birth, 1 month and 4 to 12 months respectively. On multivariate analysis, PP maternal viral load (>50,OOOcopies Iml) was the only risk factor associated with early infant HN acquisition (birth and 1 month) (P = 0.005) and cumulative infections at one year (P=O.OOI). At a year of age, HIV infected children were severely undernourished (weight for age median Z-score -3.46) and stunted (height for age median Z-score -4.44). Stunting was the main form of malnutrition in uninfected infants regardless of maternal HN status. Reported morbidity in infancy was unaffected by HN status. The infant mortality rate was 136 per 1000 live births, 85 per 1000 in HN uninfected children of uninfected mothers, 272 per 1000 in infants of infected mothers and 424 per 1000 in infected infants. After correcting for confounders, maternal HN infection (HR 0.28) and primigravidae (HR 0.20) were significant risk factors for infant survival. The population attributable risk percentage of infant mortality was 41.3% for maternal HN infection and 24.9% when the infant was HN infected as well.

Ackerson, Elizabeth Ann Brown. "School engagement and the mother-child relationship". Diss., University of Iowa, 2016. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/3032.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In the present study, I examined how the quality of relatedness (operationalized as Mutually Responsive Orientation) in the mother-child relationship in kindergarten students affects the association between the mother's values about school and the child's emotional engagement in school. Relatedness, as described by Self-Determination Theory, posits when a child feels a sense of relatedness—supported, respected, and connected with another individual—the child will be more likely to integrate that person's values into their own belief system. Sixty-six mother-child dyads were observed and videotaped doing four everyday activities (mother worked while child played independently, mother and child had a snack, mother and child played a game, mother and child cleaned up). In addition, the mothers filled out a questionnaire reporting their own valuing of school, and children participated in the Berkeley Puppet Interview, a semi-structured interview between researcher and child in which children reported their levels of emotional engagement in school to two dog puppets. Data were coded and then analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Relatedness between mother and child was found to have a moderating effect on the relation between mothers' values about school and children's school engagement. The strongest relation between mothers' values and children's school engagement was found when mother-child relatedness was low. When mother-child relatedness was high, the engagement of the child was not affected by the mother's valuing of school. The study findings offer implications for how children experiencing high levels of relatedness with their mothers will be able to be more successful in the school setting, regardless of the mothers' valuing of their own school experiences.

Barbard, Penelope Jane. "Beyond the feeding relationship: mothers' descriptions of interaction within the mother-child dyad". Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/2965.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The mother-child relationship is a key determinant of child health. Current evidence acknowledges that impaired mother-child interaction affects social, emotional, cognitive and behavioural development in infants. Disrupted interaction within the mother-child dyad can be caused by a variety of factors including prolonged separation, illness, abusive relationships, maternal stress and other psychosocial disturbances. Post-Partum Depression (PPD), in particular, compromises mother-child interaction. Despite the fact that recent studies have demonstrated that the prevalence of PPD in low-income communities is approximately three times that found in first world countries, mother-child interaction is seldom evaluated and facilitated in primary care. Physical growth is often the only measure of infant health and development. The objectives of this qualitative study were to explore the mother's description of mother-child interaction; the importance that the mother ascribes to this interaction; and the mother's perception of the factors which facilitated interaction within the mother-child dyad. First-time mothers were purposively sampled and semi-structured interviews were conducted. After general inductive analysis of the verbatim transcriptions of the interviews, five main themes emerged. These were: (2)"What I expected" which described expectations around the birth and the impact on mother-child interaction, (2) "Isn't one supposed to feel ... ?" explored the mothers concerns regarding interaction, emotions and adaptation, (3) "Connecting with my baby" described a process of physical connectedness which enhanced emotional connectedness, (4)"We reflect each other's feelings " illustrated how feelings are echoed between mother and baby and empathy developed, and (5) "That helped/hindered our interaction " described factors which eased the fluency of mother-child interaction. These findings are discussed in relation to neuro-scientific developmental theories; namely Porges' Polyvagal Theory of subconscious adaptation for social behaviour and security strategies, and The Mirror Neuron Theory which describes mechanisms of imitation and the development of empathy. Factors which enhanced mother-child interaction are discussed within the context of a changing society. The findings suggest the potential value of including the facilitation of mother-child interaction in the practice of health professionals, particularly midwives and other workers in maternal and child health. This may include training in non-directive counselling of mothers, the recognition of disengaged mother-child interaction, and relationship facilitation. This study emphasizes the importance of mother-child interaction and that health professionals need to be aware of the potential for maternal mental health problems after birth, and the long-term consequences of poor mother-child interaction on infant health.

Allie, Elva Leticia Concha. "Childrearing Attitudes of Mexican-American Mothers Effects of Education of Mother". Thesis, North Texas State University, 1985. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc332060/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The purpose of this study was to identify childrearing attitudes of Mexican-American mothers with children ages three to five years of age. Specifically the first purpose of this study was to determine childrearing attitudes of Mexican-American mothers with ten years of education or fewer and Mexican-American mothers with eleven years of education or more as identified by the Parent As A Teacher Inventory (PAAT). The second purpose was to identify the relationship of the following demographic variables to childrearing attitudes: mother's age, mother's marital status, family income, sex of child, age of child, access to child, generational status, mother's language and mother's ethnicity. The PAAT and the Parent Information Questionnaire were administered to 112 Mexican-American mothers; 54 Mexican- American mothers with ten years of education or fewer and 58 Mexican-American mothers with eleven years of education or more. The population from which these subjects were drawn were mothers from Mexican-American communities in a North Texas county. Responses on the sample were analyzed using multivariate statistics. Based on the analysis of the data, the following conclusions seem tenable. 1. The Mexican-American mothers with eleven years of education or more have childrearing attitudes which are more positive than the Mexican-American mothers with ten years of education or fewer. 2. Control and teaching-learning are related to the mother's educational level, income, generational status and language. The mothers with more education and a higher income, who are third generation and who prefer English usage, tend to allow their children more independence. 3. Agreement may be expected between the childrearing attitudes of the Mexican-American mothers with ten years of education or fewer and Mexican-American mothers with eleven years of education or more toward creativity, frustration, and play.

Benware, Jared. "Predictors of Father-Child and Mother-Child Attachment in Two-Parent Families". DigitalCommons@USU, 2013. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/1734.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The attachment of a child and his or her caregiver is a bond that helps tie them together emotionally. The most important principle of attachment theory is the need of a child to develop a relationship with at least one primary caregiver for healthy emotional and social development to occur. The majority of attachment research has focused primarily on mother-child attachment, minimizing fathers' contributions to attachment. The current study examined attachment of both mothers and fathers in two-parent families. Research questions focused on the relationship between mother-child attachment and father-child attachment, the relationship between child temperament and father-child attachment security, and whether the amount of time each parent is away from his/her child predicts attachment security. The participants in this study consisted of 50 sets of parents (100 participants) who had at least one child between the ages of 3-5. The relationship between father-child and mother-child attachment was not significant. Likewise, the relationship between child temperament and parent-child attachment was not significant. Also, parents' time away from their child was not a significant predictor of attachment. Further research is needed with more ethnicities and cultures represented; a more balanced sample of economic classes; mothers who work more hours outside of the home; and the use of more impartial, third party observation measures to assess attachment and child temperament.

Katz, Emma. "Surviving together : domestic violence and mother-child relationships". Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2015. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/28456/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis explores how mothers and children in the UK are affected by domestic violence, resist it, and actively support one another's recoveries. The focus extends beyond 'incidents' of physical violence, into the commonplace, the subtle and the everyday. This thesis shows that supportive mother-child relationships may enhance the well-being and recoveries of both mothers and children. It highlights the need to expand professional supports that repair and strengthen mother-child relationships. The study is located on different theoretical ground from most research in the domestic violence field. Usually, within the field, mothers' parenting is seen as promoting or not promoting resilience in their (passive) children. Often, children supporting mothers is seen as inappropriate and indicative of children taking on 'adult roles' or being 'parentified'. There has been little attention to the ways that children, along with mothers, may be active in producing the strong, supportive mother-child relationships that promote resilience and well-being. By contrast, this study conceptualises children, along with mothers, as active contributors to mother-child relationships. Mutual supports between mothers and children are viewed as potentially positive and productive. Thirty participants, 15 mothers and 15 children (aged 10-20) from the UK with experiences of domestic violence, were interviewed for this study. These interviews were conducted using a semi-structured, feminist-informed approach. Participants were recruited through organisations that support those with experiences of domestic violence, using a combination of purposive and snowball sampling. All participants were residing in the community, and the majority had never accessed refuge services. Ethical approval to conduct the study was granted by the University of Nottingham. This thesis presents findings that show how children supported mothers, while mothers continued to parent and support their children. The children and mothers interviewed described supporting each other in multiple ways. During the domestic violence, helpful supports could occur even as mothers and children struggled to communicate about what was happening and suffered negative behavioural and mental health impacts. Some mother-child relationships were more strained than others during this period. This study identifies five factors that influenced the extent of the damage caused to mother-child relationships during the domestic violence. These factors centred on the behaviours of perpetrators/fathers (their treatment of the children, the types of abuse they perpetrated, and the extent to which they undermined mother-child relationships) and the impacts of these behaviours on mothers and children. In the post-separation violence phase, children and mothers were on the 'frontlines' of each other's recoveries. Often, they acted as 'recovery-promoters' for one another, especially when they had received professional supports that repaired and strengthened their relationships. Recovery-promotion frequently occurred in subtle, everyday, age-appropriate ways not usually considered in previous research, including the giving of compliments and praise and 'having fun' together. However, mothers and children also described exchanging some supports that may have been more problematic, and not all mothers and children were able to support one another to the same extent. Based on these findings, this thesis proposes a framework for identifying the different levels and contexts of supports exchanged by mothers and children, and their complex, varied impacts. This framework has utility for future research, policy and practice with domestic violence survivors.

This study compared the presentation of attachment quality and maternal psychological functioning among children diagnosed with a psychological/behavioral disorder to the presentation of attachment quality and maternal psychological functioning among children not diagnosed with a psychological/behavioral disorder.Participants included a clinical group composed of 8 Caucasian mothers of male children diagnosed with a behavioral/emotional disorder and a nonclinical group composed of 24 Caucasian mothers of male children not diagnosed with a behavioral/emotional disorder. The groups were compared on their responses to the Personality Assessment Screener, Parent/Child Reunion Inventory, and Relationship Questionnaire.Results found that mother psychological functioning was significantly related to ratings of insecure parent-child attachment. In addition, mother ratings of their adult attachment relationships were associated with ratings of parent-child attachment security/insecurity for 3 of 4 adult attachment styles. Information gathered during this study provided preliminary insight into the complex nature of parent-child relationships as they co-exist with maternal psychological functioning.Department of Educational Psychology

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Maternal depression has a negative impact on child development and the parent-child relationship (NICHD Early Child Care Research Network, 1999). The purpose of this study was to determine the treatment effectiveness of Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) with mothers identified with high levels of depressive symptoms in comparison with mothers with low levels of depressive symptoms and their children with behavior problems. The treatment effectiveness of PCIT was measured by pre- to post-treatment changes in the quality of parent-child relationship and reductions in child behavior problems, maternal depression, and parental stress. Subjects were 23 mothers identified with low levels of depressive symptoms and 26 mothers identified with high levels of depressive symptoms and their children. Findings showed there were improvements at post-treatment for both groups in child behavior problems, the quality of the parent-child relationship, maternal depressive symptoms, and parent stress levels. Mothers in the high depressive symptoms group reported achieving greater treatment gains when compared to the mothers in the low symptom group.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
These days most everyone can say that they know someone who has been impacted by substance abuse and today’s society is very familiar with the fact that it can wreak havoc on families. There has been a significant amount of research devoted to finding not only the best practices to treat families who are impacted by the disease of addiction but there has also been a great deal of attention focused on the adult perspective on these services once they have been received. Where the research is definitely lacking is how the children involved with the services perceive their own involvement. How are their lives impacted by being involved in treatment with their caretaker? The children seem to be the forgotten voices in this scenario.
This study focuses on the adult/child perspective of children who have experienced at least one residential treatment episode with their mothers. The sample came from a long-term residential drug treatment facility that is primary focused on treating families impacted by substance abuse. These adult children experienced treatment with their mothers before they were 12 years old. They will share their perspectives on this experience.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The purpose of this study was to better understand associations between acculturation, parental beliefs, mother-child emotion talk, and emotion understanding in Latino preschool-aged children. Research on Latino families may prove to be important given the little research that has focused on emotion understanding strictly in Latino cultures. Forty Latino mother-child dyads were observed throughout a series of naturalistic observations. Mothers self-reported their acculturation and their beliefs about the value and danger of childrenâ s emotions, childrenâ s emotional development processes, and their role in guiding their childrenâ s emotions. Mother-child emotion talk and framing was measured during a 15 minute story-telling task using a Lego house and through a wordless picture book. Childrenâ s emotion understanding was measured using two standard tasks. Results showed that mothersâ acculturation was related to their beliefs about the danger of emotions, their role in guiding their childâ s emotions, and their childâ s readiness to learn about emotions. Mothersâ acculturation was also related to childrenâ s emotion understanding. Mothersâ beliefs about guiding childrenâ s emotions were related to mothersâ labeling of emotions and to childrenâ s emotion understanding. This study confirms and expands several previous findings relating to emotion socialization of children. Overall, results highlight the importance of acculturation for parentsâ beliefs about emotions and childrenâ s emotion understanding.Master of Science

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Children with high levels of ADHD symptoms and conduct problems have difficulties developing social relationships with their peers, and these difficulties have been linked to certain social cognitive biases. The study examined the role of social cognitive biases for these children’s social behaviour within mother-child interactions. 38 children (9-12 years, 63% male) and their mothers participated. Severity of ADHD symptoms and conduct problems varied across children. Social cognitive bias measures included assessment of hostile attribution bias and positive illusory bias. Child social functioning difficulties were observed during mother-child
play session. Hierarchical regression models indicated only the positive illusory bias was related to social functioning difficulties among children with high levels of ADHD symptoms and conduct problems (ps <.05). This study extends previous research by demonstrating that the positive illusory bias contributes to child social functioning difficulties within the family among children with high levels of ADHD symptoms and conduct problems.

Tese de Doutoramento em Psicologia Aplicada (Psicologia do Desenvolvimento) apresentada ao Instituto Superior Psicologia AplicadaEste trabalho tem como objectivo o estudo da regulação emocional em díades mãe-criança, sob uma perspectiva psicobiológica, ou seja, a análise das relações entre processos internos (temperamento e actividade adrenocortical) e externos (representações de vinculação maternas e comportamentos de base segura das crianças), durante diferentes contextos situacionais (medo, afecto positivo, frustração/raiva) e sociais (constrangimento e envolvimento maternos). Cinquenta e cinco crianças entre os 18 e os 26 meses da idade e respectivas mães participaram neste estudo. As estratégias comportamentais de regulação emocional, a expressividade e intensidade emocionais das crianças foram estudadas através do Paradigma de Regulação Emocional (Diener, & Mangelsdorf, 1999 a, b). Os comportamentos de base segura das crianças e as representações de vinculação das mães foram avaliadas através do “Attachment Behavior Q-Set” (Waters, 1995) e pelas Narrativas de Representação da Vinculação em Adultos (Waters, & Rodrigues-Doolabh, 2004), respectivamente. O temperamento das crianças foi avaliado através do “Bate’s Infant Characteristics Questionnaire” (Bates, Freeland, & Lounsbury, 1979; adaptação portuguesa por Soares, Rangel-Henriques, & Dias, 2009). Finalmente, as respostas adrenocorticais das crianças e das mães foram avaliadas através de amostras de saliva e analisadas através de ensaios de luminoimunoiscência (LIA). Os resultados revelaram que, de um modo geral, as estratégias comportamentais das crianças variaram, significativamente, em função do contexto situacional (as crianças exibiram mais estratégias durante os episódios de afecto positivo e frustração/raiva, em comparação com os de medo) e envolvimento materno. A expressividade emocional das crianças variou em função do contexto situacional (as crianças exibiram maior expressividade emocional, positiva ou negativa, durante os episódios de medo e frustração/raiva e menos durante os de afecto positivo) e de interacções entre a expressividade emocional e o envolvimento materno. A intensidade emocional revelou variações em função de uma interacção entre o contexto e o envolvimento materno. As estratégias comportamentais e a expressividade emocional das crianças também se diferenciaram significativamente em função da qualidade da relação de vinculação às mães. As representações maternas sobre a vinculação além de serem predictoras dos comportamentos de base segura das crianças crianças, também influenciaram significativamente a expressividade e a intensidade emocionais destas. As respostas adrenocorticais das crianças e das mães variaram significativamente, em função da qualidade de vinculação das crianças. As representações maternas sobre a vinculação influenciaram significativamente os níveis de cortisol das mães, assim como os das crianças (de um modo marginal). A qualidade do temperamento das crianças revelou associações significativas com as estratégias comportamentais e com as respostas adrenocorticais das crianças e das mães. Os resultados são discutidos, analisando possíveis implicações, limitações e futuras linhas de investigação. ---------- ABSTRACT ---------- This work studies emotion regulation in child-mother dyads from a psychobiological perspective, particularly, the study of the relationships between internal (temperament and adrenocortical activity) and external processes (mothers’ attachment representations and children’s secure base behaviours), during different situational (fear, positive affect, frustration/anger) and social (mother constrained and involved) contexts. Fifty-five children between 18 and 26 months of age and their mothers participated in this study. Children’s emotion regulation behavioural strategies, emotional expressiveness and intensity were studied through the Emotion Regulation Paradigm (Diener, & Mangelsdorf, 1999 a, b). To assess children’s secure base behaviours and mothers’ attachment representations the Attachment Behaviour Q-Set (Waters, 1995) and the Adult Attachment Representation Narratives (Waters, & Rodrigues-Doolabh, 2004) were used, respectively. Children’s temperament was evaluated by the The Bate’s Infant Characteristics Questionnaire (ICQ), (Bates, Freeland, & Lounsbury, 1979; portuguese adaptation by Soares, Rangel-Henriques, & Dias, 2009). Finally, children’s and mothers’ adrenocortical activity were assessed from salivary cortisol and analyzed through luminoimmunoassay (LIA) kits. Results revealed that overall, toddlers’ regulatory strategies varied as function of emotion-eliciting context (children exhibited more strategies during positive affect and frustration/anger episodes and less during fear episodes) and maternal involvement. Toddlers’ emotional expressiveness varied as function of emotion-eliciting context (children exhibited more emotional expressions either negative or positive, during fear and frustration/anger episodes and less during positive affect episodes) and as result of interactions between emotional expressiveness and maternal involvement. Emotional intensity varied as function of an interaction between context and maternal involvement. Children’s behavioural strategies and expressiveness also differed significantly as function of attachment security to their mothers. Mothers’ attachment representations not only predicted their children’s secure base behaviours, but also influenced their expressiveness and emotional intensity, in a significant way. Children and mothers’ adrenocortical responses were significantly influenced by children’s attachment security. Mothers’ personal attachment representations influenced significantly their own cortisol responses, as well as their children’s (in a marginal significant way). Children’s temperament quality showed significant associations with toddlers’ behavioural strategies and children and mothers’ adrenocortical activities. Possible implications, limitations and future research lines and discussed.

One of the research areas in mother-child health has focused on examining which are the signs inmothers' psychological functioning that would lead to a further disturbed development in an infant.The perspective of this paper has deviated from this research area. Natural observation of an infantduring his/her first year of life suggests that early mother-child affective bonding grows and strengthens progressively, even mother's behavior is not totally adequate. This article al so suggests that mother and child feed back each other in this early bonding.Una de las líneas de investigación en salud materno-infantil se ha interesado en investigar cuáles son los indicadores del funcionamiento psicológico de las madres que llevarían a un desarrollo posterior perturbado del infante. La perspectiva del presente trabajo se distancia de esta línea de investigación. La observación natural de un infante durante el primer año de su vida, nos permite sugerir que el vínculo temprano entre una madre y su bebé se va gestando y consolidando progresivamente,más allá que el funcionamiento de la madre no sea del todo adecuado. Se sugiere además que en este vínculo afectivo temprano, la madre y el bebé se retroalimentan mutuamente.

An infant stimulation in mother-child relationship assessment scale (ISA Scale) was developed, based on a classification of probable effects on child's behavior, such as behavioral promotion stimulation (BPS) and behavioral control stimulation (BCS), refering to mother action level to promote desirable behaviors and to control socially non desirable behaviors in child's behavior repertory. 540 mother-child dyads were evaluated. The construct validity tests showed significant correlations in item analysis, between subescales along with child development measures (social maturity and aggressiveness). In addition significant correlations (p<.05) were identified in validity tests showing criteria. On the other hand, the reliability tests indicated high stability and internal consistency. During this work we verified the important influence this stimulation had on the psychological development of the child.Se construyó una escala de evaluación de la estimulación infantil en las relaciones madre-niño (Escala EEI), basada en una clasificación de los efectos probables de la estimulación sobre la conducta del niño: estimulación de promoción conductual (EPC) y estimulación de control conductual (ECC), refiriéndose, respectivamente, al nivel de acción de la madre para promover conductas deseables y controlar conductas no deseables socialmente en el repertorio conductual del niño. Se evaluó a 540 diadas madre-niño. Las pruebas de validez de constructo señalaron correlaciones significativas en el análisis de ítems, entre subescalas, y con medidas del desarrollo infantil; correlaciones significativas también fueron identificadas en las pruebas de validez relacionada con criterios; por otro lado, las pruebas de confiabilidad indicaron estabilidad y consistencia interna altas. Durante la realización de este trabajo, se pudo verificar la importante influencia que posee esta estimulación sobre el desarrollo psicológico del niño.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Ausgangspunkt der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die gut belegte Assoziation zwischen mütterlicher Depression und ungünstigen emotionalen und behavioralen Folgen für ihre Kinder. Allerdings sind die Faktoren, die zu der transgenerationalen Übertragung der Depression beitragen, noch nicht geklärt. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, zwei möglicherweise dazu beitragende psychologische Faktoren zu untersuchen: (1) Affekterkennung von Gesichtsausdrücken in Mutter-Kind Dyaden und (2) mütterliche emotionale Verfügbarkeit. Dazu wurden drei Studien durchgeführt. Studie I untersucht mittels funktioneller Magnetresonanztomographie (fMRT) unterscheidbare und überlappende Aktivierungsmuster bei gesunden Müttern, während sie fröhliche und traurige Gesichter ihres eigenen Kindes sehen. Studie II verwendet eine Morphing-Aufgabe, um die Affekterkennung in Müttern mit remittierter Depression und ihren Kindern zu untersuchen. In Studie III wird die emotionale Verfügbarkeit von Müttern mit remittierter Depression in einer Verhaltensbeobachtung untersucht. Ergebnisse der Studie I zeigen eine größere Gehirnaktivierung der Mütter bei traurigen eigenen Kindergesichtern in der Amygdala und anterioren Cingulum, hingegen bei fröhlichen im Hippocampus und inferioren Frontalgyrus. Überlappende Aktivierung wurde in der Insula gefunden. Diese Aktivierungsmuster könnten feinfühliges mütterliches Verhalten erleichtern und das Aufrechterhalten der Mutter-Kind Beziehung unterstützen. Ergebnisse von Studie II belegen einen negativen Verarbeitungsbias bei Müttern mit einer remittierten Depression, wobei parallele Veränderungen bei ihren Kindern gefunden wurden. Dies könnte auf einen transgenerationalen Übertragungsprozess hinweisen. Ergebnisse von Studie III zeigen eine verminderte emotionale Verfügbarkeit bei Müttern in Remission, was eine Trait-Eigenschaft darstellen könnte.Starting point of the present dissertation is the well-established association between maternal depression and adverse emotional and behavioral outcomes in children. The factors contributing to the transgenerational transmission of depression have not been fully elucidated. The aim of this thesis is to investigate two psychological factors that potentially contribute to this transgenerational association: (1) affect recognition of facial expressions in mother-child dyads and (2) maternal emotional availability. Therefore, three studies have been conducted. In study I, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is used to measure dissociable and overlapping brain activation in healthy mothers, while they view happy, neutral and sad faces of their own child. By using a morphing task, study II tests the hypothesis that affect recognition is biased in mothers with depression in remission and their children. Study III investigates whether emotional availability is reduced in mothers remitted from depression. Study I revealed greater brain activation in the amygdala and anterior cingulate cortex while mothers viewed sad faces of their own child, whereas greater brain activation was detected in the hippocampus and inferior frontal gyrus in response to happy faces. Conjoint activation was found in the insula. These activations might facilitate sensitive maternal behavior and promote mothers to maintain the mother-child relationship. Findings of study II demonstrate a negative processing bias in mothers with depression in remission, which was paralleled in their children. This finding could possibly point to a process of transgenerational transmission. Results of study III indicate reduced emotional availability in mothers who have remitted from depression, which might represent a trait characteristic of depression.

Acculturation research has gained interest due to the increasing levels of immigration to the United States. The population of interest for this study was the Latino immigrant population in the United States, as they represent the largest and fastest growing minority in the country. One challenge Latino immigrants can face during the acculturation process is a phenomenon described as nonreciprocal language. This phenomenon is present when first generation parents speak in their native language of Spanish and their children, who are second-generation immigrants, speak in the host culture language of English. The purpose of this study was to focus on the role of nonreciprocal language in the mother-child relationship between first generation Latino immigrant mothers and their second-generation children. A qualitative, ethnographic study was used to investigate 10 participants, including first generation Latino immigrant mothers and their second-generation children in Charlotte, North Carolina. Findings from this content analysis study include mothers' and children's experiences with nonreciprocal language and their acculturation categories, which led to recommendations for new strategies for ESL education and the need to develop programs to help parents raise bilingual children. This information can benefit advocates, policymakers, and other stakeholders involved in programs that are focused on helping children be more proficient in their parents' language or helping parents become more proficient in English. Information from this study can also allow immigrant parents to make informed decisions about their language use and the possible impact on their relationships.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The overarching goal of this thesis was to compare the mother-child relationship and child behaviour across cultures. The three articles in this thesis were part of a multi-method investigation comparing England (an individualistic culture) and Turkey (a collectivistic culture). Accounts from two children and their mothers were obtained from 218 two-parent families in total. Mothers completed questionnaires, children were interviewed using the Berkeley Puppet Interview, and observations recorded during various play tasks. The study was unique as it recorded the perspectives of mothers and young children aged from 4 to 8 in each family across cultures. Results showed that English mothers used more positive methods of discipline with their older children, and reported less conflict with both of their children compared to Turkish mothers. In contrast, English children reported more anger and hostility from their mothers than did their Turkish peers (Paper 1). Cultural differences in maternal values partially explained these differences in positive discipline and anger and hostility (Paper 1). Using structural equation modelling, partial cross-cultural measurement invariance for parenting and child adjustment was revealed (Paper 2), and a stronger association between parenting and child adjustment was found for the English versus Turkish families (Paper 2). Finally, multi-level modelling yielded significant prediction of children's adjustment from both family-wide and child-specific aspects of parenting (Paper 3). The implications of the findings include appreciating different perspectives of parenting when conducting cross-cultural research (Paper 1); the culturally distinct meanings of both parent and child adjustment should be considered when interpreting their association (Paper 2); and that differential parenting within families can also have distinct cultural meaning (Paper 3). Future research would benefit from exploring within-and between-cultural differences in parent-child relationships further, across multiple countries, over time and in larger samples.

Previous studies have shown that a child’s attachment relationship with the mother and the mother’s psychosocial functioning are influential to the child’s psychosocial functioning in terms of the development of psychopathology. The current study aimed to examine the relationships between maternal and child psychosocial functioning in terms of internalizing and externalizing symptoms and sleep problems, as well as child attachment quality. The potential mediating or moderating role of attachment quality in the mother-child psychosocial functioning linkage was investigated. A total of 151 children and their mothers from a local community sample participated in the study. The children reported on their sleep problems and attachment quality. The mothers reported on their sleep problems, their children’s sleep problems, their internalizing symptoms, and their children’s internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Results showed that maternal internalizing symptoms were predictive of child internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Attachment quality was predictive of child externalizing symptoms. The relationships among maternal and child sleep problems and attachment quality were inconclusive. No mediation or moderation effect of attachment quality on the relationship between maternal and child psychosocial functioning was suggested. Implications and future research directions were discussed.published_or_final_version

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Parents are the most affective human environmental resources to children. Although the influences from parents continue even after parents passed away, very young children (up to age 3) get the biggest impact from their parents. According to children's independency to parents, parents ' psychological well-being determines children's emotional-social development. However, in parenting stress, chi ldren also have their own influence to parents in the family context. Regarding parenting stress, many studies have been dedicated to defining the occurrence, co-occurrence, and predictors of parenting stress of parents in various conditions.
This longitudinal research conducted from surveys with 20 I Early Head Start families reexamines the stressors and tests measures to find the most effective identifying variables. Also, the aim of this study is whether fathers' and mothers' parenting stress is different or similar with a child at the ages of I 0 months and 36 months.
From the results of this study, stressors, parenting stress, and child attachment were related and influenced each other. Because the amount of fathers' and mothers' parenting stress was different, and because parenting stress was affected by different stressors according to parents' gender, the Early Head Start program should consider the differences in parenting stress due to the gender of parents.
Additionally, as the children grew, the relations among stressors, parenting stress, and child attachment changed. Children 's development can change all circumstances including parents' physical and psychosocial well-being. Further studies need to identify additional sources of parenting stress and the impact of intervention programs on the stressors affecting families raising young children. Also, the Early Head Start program had an effect on the context of parenting stress, so results may have implications for staff of the program.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Abstract
Gestational diabetes (GDM) indicates increased risk for diabetes and the metabolic syndrome in women. Research on prenatal exposure to GDM as a risk factor for metabolic diseases is conflicting. Overweight (body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2) is a strong risk factor for GDM and metabolic diseases; however, there are few published previous studies distinguishing the separate effects of overweight and GDM on the later risk for metabolic diseases in women and their children.
The present study evaluated pre-pregnancy overweight and GDM as determinants of long-term risk for diabetes and hypertension in women, and the metabolic consequences of prenatal exposures to maternal pre-pregnancy overweight and different types of maternal diabetes in children. The results are based on prospective, clinical data from Oulu University Hospital (n = 63 mothers and their children), and the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 (NFBC 1986, n = 9,362 mothers and their 9,479 children).
Compared to normal-weight mothers with normal glucose tolerance in pregnancy, the NFBC 1986 mothers with simultaneous pre-pregnancy overweight and GDM had strikingly high risks for developing diabetes (hazard ratio, HR 47.2; 95% confidence interval 25.5–87.4) and hypertension (HR 9.2 [6.1–13.9]) twenty years after delivery. The risks for these diseases were elevated in mothers with pre-pregnancy overweight even when they had normal glucose tolerance during pregnancy (HR diabetes 12.6 [7.4–21.6], HR hypertension 2.9 [2.1–3.9]). GDM per se indicated increased risk only for diabetes (HR 10.6 [4.2–27.0]).
In the cohort from Oulu University Hospital, increased fasting insulin concentration (P = 0.04), first phase insulin response (P = 0.03), and HOMA-B (P = 0.008) were already observed at pre-school age in the offspring of mothers with Type 1 diabetes compared with offspring of mothers with GDM.
In the NFBC 1986 offspring, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 2.4% at age 16 years, using the International Diabetes Federation pediatric definition. Abdominal obesity, a waist girth over half one’s length, defined approximately 85% of the adolescents with metabolic syndrome. The risks for overweight and abdominal obesity were high in those with prenatal exposure to both maternal pre-pregnancy overweight and GDM (odds ratio for overweight 4.1 [1.9–8.6], for abdominal obesity 3.8 [1.7–8.8]). In children of normal-weight women, prenatal exposure to GDM was not associated with increased risk of these outcomes.
Based on this study, preventing and reducing overweight in fertile age seems to be a key target for preventing metabolic diseases in women and their children.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Part one of the thesis reviews the findings of research studies that have explored the relationship between the warmth a mother shows her child, and children’s wellbeing whilst living with domestic violence. The literature discusses possible ways in which maternal warmth affect the child’s psychological and behavioural outcomes in children exposed to domestic violence. Findings showed that lack of maternal warmth is consistently associated with an increase in the development of maladaptive behaviours for children exposed to domestic violence. Part two of the thesis is a qualitative research study that explores aspects of the mother-daughter relationship that have facilitated the development of resilience. Mother-daughter groups took part in a photo-taking activity, followed by a semi-structured interview. Their stories, analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, described the interactive process that facilitating their developing resilience. Reaching a breaking point in which they were no longer able to cope with the violence, these families moved into a women’s refuge, which provided safety and security for them. Their resilience developed as they grew in esteem and their identity changed from that of victims to survivors. The mother-child relationship and connections with their extended family were seen as pivotal to this process, and recommendations are described.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The co-construction of meaning-making during mother-child activity around the concepts of colour and size is considered through the lens of socio-cultural theory. The metaphor of scaffolding is critiqued in relation to its utility for explaining interactions between parent and child in problem-solving activity. Specifically, this thesis offers an investigation of the extent to which Wegerif’s (2011b) notion of ‘dialogic space’ can inform a better understanding of the processes of meaning-making that take place between a mother and her pre-school child. An exploratory, inductive case study was conducted in a pre-school setting with 13 mother-child dyads. The children were 30-36 months old. The dyads were observed while engaged in activities that involved sorting blocks according to their colour and size. Video-recordings of the observations were transcribed and the transcriptions were then subject to a thematic Socio-Cultural Discourse Analysis (SCDA). Also mothers took part in semi-structured interviews, incorporating Video-Stimulated Reflective Dialogue (VSRD). These were used to shed light on the mothers’ perspectives of the activity and informed my analysis of the transcriptions. The theoretical benefits of this thesis include extended theorising about dialogic space by considering the context of parent and pre-school children’s dialogues. It provides significant contributions to educational theory by evidencing how pause and physical and psychological resources can be mobilised by interlocutors to resource their construction of dialogic space during activities with young children. Implications for practice arising from this study include the need for practitioners to be alert to how the theory of dialogic space can inform a better understanding of how young children can be creatively engaged in dialogue in asymmetrical interactions that harness their understanding of colour and size.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis explores the experiences of Working Lone Mothers (WLMs) as they attempt to negotiate the complex articulation of public/private spaces whilst caring for their children and themselves. The focus of the research is set on WLMs “understanding and practice of care within their „relational network” of family and friends and against the contextual backdrop of the community in which they live. More specifically, it seeks to ascertain the type and quality of care currently articulated in the private domain against the assumption that changing gender roles may produce a 'care deficit' or caring 'gaps' within the family context of 21st century Britain. With this objective in mind, I have carried out 35 in-depth interviews of WLMs living in the South Wales area between the Rhondda Valley and Cardiff. The research is conceptually placed within the framework of an „ethic of care‟, which, as a moral theory, is only a few decades old and, as such, is still in the process of being formulated. With a relative small number of care ethicists currently publishing in the international and national arena, this thesis seeks to enhance the value and importance of care both as a private and as a public virtue and practice against the cultural and political dominance of an ethic of work. From this particular standpoint, if an ethic of work seems to be increasingly hijacked by consumer capitalism and shaped to respond primarily to “privatised” and “marketised” self-interest, an ethic of care appears to have been relegated to the private concerns and considerations of women in the domestic sphere of life. Against this backdrop, whilst the understanding of the public/private articulation has remained primarily a matter of theoretical discussion, the important dimension of care has not yet been thoroughly investigated within the empirical framework of these conflicting environments. This thesis intends to offer an empirical investigation of these issues by evaluating the inter-dynamic nature of WLMs “paid work in relationship to their caring commitments. In the process, the embedded tensions of both environments will be exposed and analysed. I will argue that whilst “enabling flexible arrangements” at work are conducive to a better management of caring work and promote a better balance between the two domains, “disabling flexible arrangements”are not. Given that the latter have emerged as the most common form of work management, many WLMs do struggle to find the time to care. Yet, under these constraints, WLMs have devised strategies that allow them to carry out their caring responsibilities by ways of maximising their limited resources of time, space and energy whilst minimising their overall investment. This process appears to be so clearly widespread amongst the respondents as to have generated definable patterns. Namely, under apparently normalised and routinised conditions, the cumulative effect of transferring and converting commodified values and practices from the public sphere and the workplace into the world of informal care has been increased and intensified to such an extent as to affect and change the type and quality of care that WLMs are able to experience and practice in relation to their children, to themselves and to some extent, to their "relational networks".
