Maternal Representations of the Infant: Associations with Infant Response to the Still Face.
Rosenblum, Katherine L.; McDonough, Susan; Muzik, Maria; Miller, Alison; Sameroff, Arnold
Child Development, v73 n4 p999-1015 Jul-Aug 2002
This study examined the associations between characteristics of mothers' narratives about their 7-month-olds, maternal depression, and their infants' affect regulation during the Still Face procedure. Findings showed that mothers' representations were linked with individual differences in infants' behavior, the association between mothers' representations and infants' behavior was mediated by parenting behavior, and mothers' representations explained unique variance in their infants' affect regulation beyond the contribution of maternal depression.
