“…Lastly, there were many potentially important variables that we did not measure in the current study, such as breastfeeding difficulties, cesarian delivery, and birth-related trauma, all of which have been linked with maternal-infant bonding problems (Roth et al, 2021;Sockol et al, 2014;Stuijfzand et al, 2020). Perhaps most critically, we did not assess infant regulatory capacity or temperament, which are both associated with bonding strength; infant regulatory problems (Provenzi et al, 2021), a difficult and unpredictable infant temperament (Tolja et al, 2020), and infant negative emotionality (Nolvi et al, 2016) predict lower self-reported maternal-infant bonding, even after controlling for maternal depression and anxiety.…”

“…Parents of twins often express concern that the need to be highly task-focused interferes with opportunities to bond with their babies (Gowling et al, 2021;Holditch-Davis et al, 1999). Breastfeeding challenges, common with twins (Cinar et al, 2013;Wenze et al, 2020), have also been linked with disrupted maternal-infant bonding (Roth et al, 2021). Finally, some…”

“…For example, many caregivers report highly elaborated working models of their child (even when interviewed before they have yet met [during gestation]; Dayton, Levendosky, Davidson, & Bogat, 2010), intense emotions and feelings of bond (e.g., caregivers often report a "preoccupation with the interests and wants" of the baby; Swain et al, 2007), and great delight in their child (e.g., nearly three-quarters of mothers report thoughts of "perfection" about their 3-4 month-old infant; Leckman et al, 1999). Positive feelings of bond toward infants (e.g., joy, love, protection) appear to increase across the first 6 months of the infant's life (Roth, Humphreys, King, Gotlib, & Robakis, 2021).…”

“…The scale was also used to evaluate father-infant attachment in research on fathers' involvement in the delivery and postpartum processes and their sense of parenthood (Brandao & Figueiredo, 2012;Suchy et al, 2020). In the relevant literature, the scale was administered to mothers (Coktay & Turk, 2020;Eapen et al, 2014;Ertan et al, 2021;Escasa, 2012;Handelzalts et al, 2016;Horsch et al, 2017;Lim, 2013;López-Fernández et al, 2021;Mayopoulos et al, 2021;Mendelson et al, 2018;Roth et al, 2021;Shreffler et al, 2021;Tichelman et al, 2021;Wittkowski et al, 2007) fathers (Shorey et al, 2019;Stuijfzand et al, 2020;Suchy et al, 2020), and caregivers (Foli et al, 2012;South et al, 2012) in the prenatal and postnatal periods. In addition, the scale has already been adapted into different cultures in several countries (e.g., the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Australia, Singapore, Turkey, Indonesia, and Israel) (Karakulak & Alparslan, 2016;Mörelius et al, 2021;Ohara et al, 2016;Wiguna & Ismail, 2019).…”
