Neonatal Stress Reactivity: Predictions to Later Emotional Temperament.
Gunnar, Megan R.; And Others
Child Development, v66 n1 p1-13 Feb 1995
Baseline and heelstick measures of behavioral state, heart period, vagal tone, and salivary cortisol were obtained from 50 full-term newborns. Mothers completed Rothbart's Infant Behavior Questionnaire when the infants reached six months of age. Greater reactivity to the heelstick was associated with lower scores on the "Distress-to-Limitations" temperament at six months. (MDM)
