Maternal Sensitivity in a Developing Society: The Context of Urban Poverty and Infant Chronic Undernutrition.
Valenzuela, Marta
Developmental Psychology, v33 n5 p845-55 Sep 1997
Used home observations and laboratory procedures with 85 Chilean mothers and infants to examine the association between infants' chronic undernutrition and maternal sensitivity, sociodemographic variables, and infants' play and problem solving. Found that maternal sensitivity was correlated with maternal education, maternal weight, marital satisfaction, children's nutritional status, attachment security, and mastery behavior. (Author)
