“…While the outcomes of growing up in foster care are more positive than institutionalized care, it is still a significant risk factor for poor mental-health and social isolation in later life (Stein, 2006;Gypen et al, 2017;Atkinson and Hyde, 2019), suggesting self-regulatory deficits are apparent in this group too. The blunted affective touch ratings reported in the present study provide further support for the theory that CTs are one mechanism by which early nurturing contact supports the development of an infant's physiological and emotional regulation (Craig, 2002;Björnsdotter et al, 2010;McGlone et al, 2017;Manzotti et al, 2019;Van Puyvelde et al, 2019b).…”

“…Heart-rate variability is a biomarker of self-regulation capacity, and low levels have been linked to anxiety and depression ( Friedman and Thayer, 1998 ; Booij et al, 2006 ; Melzig et al, 2009 ; Pappens et al, 2014 ; Smith et al, 2017 ). Maternal touch is known to have a significant influence on the developing autonomic system ( Hofer, 1994 ; Field et al, 1995 ; Van Puyvelde et al, 2019b ). While, both skin-to-skin contact with their mother and stroking touch increase respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), a component of HRV, in young infants ( Van Puyvelde et al, 2015 , 2019a , b ), lack of parental support is known to lead to blunted RSA development ( Field et al, 1995 ).…”
