“…To examine the sequential associations between maternal behavioral strategies and infants' unassisted bead‐stringing behaviors, the raw coded data for the onsets and offsets of mothers' and infants' behaviors were exported from INTERACT to Generalized Sequential Querier (GSEQ), which generated the behavioral sequences based on the sequential data interchange standard program (Bakeman & Quera, ). Previous literature on mother–infant interactions and maternal responsiveness has defined contingent behaviors as behaviors starting within 3 sec of the target behavior (DiCarlo, Onwujuba, & Baumgartner, ; Tamis‐LeMonda, Kuchirko, & Tafuro, ; Tamis‐LeMonda, Sze et al., ). Accordingly, a “contingent sequence” was defined as infants starting stringing beads without assistance within 3 sec of the offset of a maternal strategy.…”

We examined maternal behavioral strategies in relation to infants' object‐directed actions in real time and over developmental time in 206 mother–infant dyads from African American, Dominican immigrant, and Mexican immigrant backgrounds. Mothers were asked to share a set of beads and strings with their infants when children were 14, 24, and 36 months. We coded three types of maternal strategies—eliciting attention, instructive assistance, and encouragement—which could be expressed verbally (e.g., “look”, “turn it”, “good job!”) or physically (i.e., through gestures, hands‐on guidance, or transfer of objects). We also coded infants' unassisted bead‐stringing. Across ethnic groups and ages, mothers' hands‐on guidance and object transfer increased the likelihood that infants would follow with unassisted bead‐stringing during real‐time interaction. Over developmental time, mothers modified their strategies: They displayed fewer attention‐getting strategies and more encouragement across infant ages, and peaked in their provision of instructive assistance when infants were 24 months. Additionally, Mexican mothers displayed more nonverbal strategies (e.g., gestures, hands‐on guidance) than did African American and/or Dominican mothers, who displayed more verbal strategies (e.g., attention‐getting and encouraging language). Developmental and real‐time patterns in mother–infant object‐related interactions generalize across ethnicities, although mothers' emphases on specific strategies are culture specific.

“…Several studies have demonstrated that parental sensitivity facilitates communicative development and competence at all stages of childhood, from toddlerhood or pre-school years onwards. For example, maternal sensitivity is associated with early intentional communication, such as the use of gesture and symbolic behaviour (Paavola et al, 2005;Wu & Gros-Lous, 2014), language skills (Leigh, Nievar, & Nathans, 2011), phonological awareness (Goldstein & Schwade 2008;Silvén et al, 2002), expressive language (Laranjo & Bernier, 2013;Nozadi et al, 2013), and increased rate of communication (Di Carlo et al, 2014).…”

This study examined the relationship between attachment style, mother tongue (L1) and dominant language (DL) proficiency, sociocultural identification with the culture of origin, and life satisfaction amongst second-generation and third-generation South Asian immigrants in Hong Kong. Participants included 69 women and 28 men who were permanent residents of South Asian ethnicity, and who had grown up in Hong Kong. The results identified significant associations between attachment insecurity and L1 and DL proficiency, as well as commitment to the origin culture. There was a positive association between life satisfaction and commitment levels to origin culture, indicating that high commitment levels to origin culture tend to coexist with high life satisfaction. This study adds to the existing literature with a focus on language skills, attachment and acculturation in immigrant populations.

“…A su vez, las fallas maternas para responder sensiblemente a las señales infantiles afectan negativamente la comunicación del niño, lo que genera un círculo vicioso de interacción que disminuye los momentos de sintonía y encuentro entre ambos (Cohn et al, 1986). En este sentido, la depresión materna no sólo afecta las habilidades comunicativas del niño sino también la calidad del intercambio diádico, ya que la comunicación del infante y la respuesta sensible de la madre a sus señales actúan como predictores de la calidad de la interacción (DiCarlo Onwujuba & Baumgartner, 2013).…”

La alta frecuencia de los trastornos depresivos en el mundo y las altas tasas reportadas durante el pre y postparto, alertan sobre la necesidad de profundizar en la comprensión de la depresión materna perinatal y sus repercusiones psicológicas en la madre y el niño/a. Se describen y analizan sus características, los factores protectores y de riesgo, los principales efectos en el vínculo madre-bebé, el desarrollo infantil y la identidad materna a partir de una revisión de la literatura existente. Se reflexiona también sobre las implicancias clínicas de este trastorno, las alternativas de tratamiento y los desafíos actuales para su abordaje psicoterapéutico integral, considerando los distintos aspectos de la matriz relacional de la díada madre-hijo/a en interacción.
