Stability and Consistency in Mothers' and Infants' Interactive Styles.

Masur, Elise Frank; Turner Margaret

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v47 n1 p100-20 Jan 2001

Investigated stability over time and consistency across contexts in the interactive behaviors of infants and their mothers during play and bath sessions. Found responsiveness was a highly stable and consistent personal style; mothers' expression of positive affect was more time-dependent than an enduring quality; and maternal directiveness was the least stable and least consistent.
