“…Interestingly, neither prenatal depression and gene expression nor their interaction were related to Regulation. Negative Affectivity and Regulation represent different constructs of temperament (Bayly & Gartstein, ; Gartstein et al., ) as measured by the IBQ‐R Negative Affectivity scale, which measures infants’ response to distress, fear, crying, and sad mood. The development of these temperament traits may be more likely to be influenced by the dysregulated HPA axis functioning in offspring.…”

“…The 14 subscales include activity level, cuddliness, fear, sadness, high‐intensity pleasure, low‐intensity pleasure, approach, smiling and laughter, falling reactivity, duration of orienting, perceptual sensitivity, distress to limitations, vocal reactivity, and soothability. The IBQ‐R has been found to form three hierarchical factors: Negative Affectivity, Regulatory Capacity/Orienting (Regulation), and Positive Emotionality/Surgency (Bayly & Gartstein, ; Gartstein, Bell, & Calkins, ). As prior evidence indicates that prenatal mood state is particularly associated with negative affectivity (Blair, Glynn, Sandman, & Davis, ; Pluess et al., ) and dysregulation (Babineau et al., ; Gutteling et al., ), we focused on the Negative Affectivity and Regulation factors, but not Positive Emotionality/Surgency.…”

Prior research has demonstrated the link between maternal depression during pregnancy (i.e., prenatal depression) and increased neurodevelopmental dysregulation in offspring. However, little is known about the roles of key hypothalamic–pituitary axis regulatory genes in the placenta modulating this association. This study will examine whether placental gene expression levels of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (HSD11B2), glucocorticoid receptor (NR3C1), and mineralocorticoid receptor (NR3C2) can help elucidate the underlying mechanisms linking prenatal depression to infant temperament, particularly in infants with high negativity and low emotion regulation. Stored placenta tissues (N = 153) were used to quantify messenger ribonucleic acid levels of HSD11B2, NR3C1, and NR3C2. Assessments of prenatal depression and infant temperament at 6 months of age were ascertained via maternal report. Results found that prenatal depression was associated with increased Negative Affectivity (p < .05) after controlling for postnatal depression and psychosocial characteristics. Furthermore, the association between prenatal depression and Negative Affectivity was moderated by gene expression levels of HSD11B2, NR3C1, and NR3C2 such that greater gene expression significantly lessened the association between prenatal depression and Negative Affectivity. Our findings suggest that individual differences in placental gene expression may be used as an early marker of susceptibility or resilience to prenatal adversity.

“…Infant temperament may be important if parents of young children with more challenging behaviors use screen time as a distraction [ 24 ], for instance, it has been reported that infants whose mothers perceived them to be fussy or cry frequently, were more likely to watch television daily [ 17 ]. Both parenting style [ 25 ] and ratings of infant temperament [ 26 ] can differ between mothers and fathers, yet no studies appear to have evaluated media viewing in young children in relation to these characteristics assessed separately in both parents.…”

Parenting style and family type, but not child temperament, are associated with television viewing time in children at two years of age

ObjectivesDespite the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommending that electronic media be avoided in children under two years of age, screen use is common in infants and toddlers. The aims of this study were to determine how parenting style, infant temperament, and family type are associated with television viewing in two-year-old children. Study designParticipants were from the Prevention of Overweight in Infancy (POI) randomized controlled trial (n = 802) (Dunedin, New Zealand). Demographic information was collected at baseline (late pregnancy), and television and other screen time assessed by questionnaire at 24 months of age. Parenting style (Parenting Practices Questionnaire), infant temperament (Colorado Childhood Temperament Inventory), and family type (7 categories) were reported by both parents. ResultsData were available for 487 participants (61% of the original participants). Median television viewing was relatively low at 21 minutes per day, or 30 minutes in those watching television (82%). Children who watched television played with mobile phones (12% of children) or iPads/tablets (22% of children) more frequently than children who did not (6% of children). In terms of parenting style, children of more authoritarian mothers (β = 17, 95% CI: 6-27 minutes), more authoritarian partners (β = 14, 95% CI: 2-26 minutes), or more permissive mothers (β = 10, 95% CI: 3-17 minutes) watched significantly more television. No significant relationships were observed between child temperament and time watching television after ConclusionsParenting style and family type were associated with television viewing time in young children, whereas child temperament was not.

“…The literature also provides several factors that serve as protective influences against negative outcomes for parents and children. Parent's level of global self-esteem (i.e., self-esteem not tied to being a parent) has been found to be associated with parents' perceptions of their children's temperament (Bugental, Blue, & Cruzeosa, 1989;Chang et al, 2004), which has implications for parenting stress levels as parent perceptions of difficult child temperament has been linked with maternal stress (Bayly & Gartstein, 2013). While limited, research on this population has shown that adolescent mothers with higher levels of global self-esteem had lower levels parenting stress at later time points (Chang et al, 2004).…”

Objectives.-Parenting stress has been linked with negative outcomes for parents and their infants (e.g., parental depression, negative parenting behaviors, poor attachment). Racial/ethnic minority adolescent mothers have increased risk for experiencing parenting stress compared to their White counterparts. Little is known about the changes in parenting stress over time for this population. Methods.-Growth mixture modeling (GMM) was conducted to determine the growth trajectory classes of 185 African American and Latina/Hispanic adolescent mothers over 2 years. Risk and protective factors (e.g., maternal depression, social support, self-esteem) were examined to determine their influence on parenting stress trajectories. Results.-Three distinct trajectories of parenting stress were found: low stable stress (40.90%), decreasing stress (35.78%), and high stable stress (23.28%). Lower maternal depression (OR = 2.35), higher self-esteem (OR = 1.29), lower perceived social support from family (OR = 0.53) and higher perceived support from friends (OR = 1.65) predicted placement into the low stable parenting stress group over the high stable parenting stress group. Adolescents living with family (OR = 2.74) and Latina race/ethnicity (OR = 2.78) also served as predictors of placement into the low stable parenting stress group. Higher self-esteem (OR = 1.66) predicted placement into the decreasing parenting stress group over the high stable parenting stress group.
