“…It is reported that mothers with high parental self-efficacy perception provide their children with more appropriate environmental settings andare less punitive, more sensitive to the signs given by their infants, and are active and responsible in their interactions with their infants. These mothers are sensitive and sincere in communication with their infants and act responsibly (Cavkaytar, Aksoy, and Ardıç, 2014) Mothers with high parental self-efficacy have less postpartum depression and fewer psychological problem symptoms (Halpern and McLean, 1997;Haslam, Pakenham, and Smith, 2006). The mother's parental self-efficacy is positively associated with her attentive, sensitive, adequate, and positive interaction with her infant (Bohlin and Hagekull, 1987;Hsu and Lavelli, 2005;Leerkes and Crockenberg, 2002;Teti and Gelfand, 1991).…”
