“…First, specific maternal, child, and family factors are associated with higher risk for negative M-C conflict interactions. Consistent with the literature (e.g., Braungart-Rieker, Garwood, & Stifter, 1997;Clark, Kochanska, & Eady, 2000;Coyl, Roggman, & Newland, 2004), conflict interaction is directly influenced by a range of factors. In this study, maternal incorrect knowledge of child development, low social economical status (SES; e.g., living in poverty or low maternal education), single parenthood, young mothers, boys, and children with difficult temperaments (e.g., high activity level, anger proneness, and social fearfulness) were associated with a higher rate of M-C conflict and/or less adaptive maternal and child behavioral responses during conflict incidents.…”

We examined mother-child (M-C) conflict behavior during the toddler years. The nature of M-C conflict behaviors, whether conflict behavior differed by context, and factors that were associated with conflict interactions were examined. We used data collected as part of the National Evaluation of the Healthy Steps for Young Children Program. 378 M-C dyads participated in this study. Videotaped observational data at 16-18 months were used to code conflict behaviors using an event recording method. Results showed that M-C conflict were more likely to be initiated by the mothers and that conflict interactions were influenced by context of interaction, family, maternal, and child temperamental factors. In this study, we provide a foundation for understanding parent-child conflict interaction prior to age two.Mother-child (M-C) conflict interactions are common among mother-child dyads. As children's social, motor, language, and cognitive abilities develop during toddlerhood, and the maternal role changes (e.g., becomes increasingly oriented toward preventing childhood injury and teaching culturally appropriate behaviors), children's defiant behaviors and M-C K.

“…Similarly, mothers who exhibited controlling behaviours toward their children, but did not provide much guidance had toddlers who displayed higher levels of negative reactivity. As a result, these toddlers were less compliant with their mother's attempts at control (Braungart-Rieker, Garwood, & Stifter, 1997).…”

A latent growth‐curve approach to difficult temperament

A purported hallmark of temperament characteristics is that they appear very early in the course of development and are persistent across time and situation. There is, however, a small, but growing cadre of research findings that question this traditional view. It may be that temperament characteristics are not necessarily established during the first few months of development or are not stable over time. A secondary analysis of the New York Longitudinal Study (NYLS) temperament data was conducted to investigate the hypothesis that temperament has a complex developmental course over the first five years of development. A latent growth curve analysis of difficult temperament suggests that temperament development follows a non-linear trajectory. This finding, in concert with related findings, suggests the need for a broader discussion of the possible developmental processes that underlie these patterns.

“…Children who display behaviour characteristic of a difficult temperament seem to be at heightened risk for eliciting greater negative emotional responses from parents (van den Boom & Hoeksma, 1994) and less responsive guidance strategies (Braungart-Rieker, Garwood, & Stifter, 1997). Similarly, children who are emotionally reactive and prone to more negative emotions relative to positive emotions engage in less prosocial behaviour with peers (Eisenberg et al, 2003) and are less liked by peers (Eisenberg et al, 1993).…”

This study examines the role that context plays in links between relative balance, or mutuality in parent-child interaction and children's social competence. Sixty-three toddlers and their parents were observed in a laboratory play session and caregiving activity (i.e. eating snack). Mutuality was operationalised as the relative balance in (a) partners' compliance to initiations, and (b) partners' expression of positive emotion. Caregivers rated children's social competence with peers, and children's prosocial and aggressive behaviour with peers was observed in their childcare arrangement. Contextual differences were observed in the manifestation of parent-child mutuality, with both motherchild and father-child dyads displaying higher mutual compliance scores in the play context than in the caregiving context. Father-child dyads also displayed higher levels of shared positive emotion during play than during the caregiving context. There were no differences in a way that parent-child mutuality during play and caregiving was associated with children's social competence with peers. Overall, the results suggest that parentchild mutuality is a quality of parent-child interaction that has consistent links to children's peer competence regardless of the context in which it occurs.
