“…Two studies assessed infant arousal before and after the still‐face paradigm (SFP; i.e., a socioemotional stressor for infants) using salivary cortisol (Jirikowic et al., ) or heart rate and salivary cortisol (Haley et al., ). In other populations, evidence has been accumulating regarding neuroendocrine reactivity in response to the SFP.…”

“…With respect to PAE, Jirikowic and colleagues () compared 9 infants with moderate/high PAE to 9 infants with low/no PAE (6 to 15 months old) and found infants with moderate/high PAE had significantly greater cortisol levels at baseline assessment; however, neither group showed an increase post‐SFP. Haley and colleagues () investigated 55 infants 5 to 7 months of age, whose mothers reported risky prepregnancy drinking.…”

“…The differences in cortisol responses between the 2 studies described here could be due to the different SFP methodologies. Haley and colleagues () employed a modified version of the paradigm, which had 2 still‐face episodes, which may have resulted in a more stressful incident compared to the single‐face episode used by Jirikowic and colleagues (). Other explanatory factors could be the difference in sample size between the 2 studies, backgrounds of the study participants, and levels and measurement of PAE exposure.…”

Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) can be associated with significant difficulties in self-regulatory abilities. As such, interventions have been developed that focus on improving varying aspects of self-regulation for this population. The application of a multilevel theoretical framework that describes the development of self-regulation during early childhood could further advance the field. First, this framework could assist in elucidating mechanisms in the trajectories of early adjustment problems in this population and, second, informing the development of more precise assessment and interventions for those affected by PAE. The aims of the current review were to provide an overview of the self-regulatory framework proposed by Calkins and colleagues (e.g., Calkins, 2007; Calkins and Fox, 2002); examine the self-regulatory difficulties that are commonly experienced during infancy (i.e., 0 to 2 years) and early childhood (i.e., 3 to 8 years) in children with PAE in the context of the developmental framework; and describe how the framework can inform the development of future assessment and intervention provision for young children with PAE. The application of a developmental framework, such as proposed by Calkins and colleagues, allows for a systematic and theoretically driven approach to assessment and intervention programs for young children with PAE.

“…Our earlier study found that PAE infants had increased cortisol reactivity, elevated heart rate, and increased negative affect during the stressor episodes of the SFP (35). Infants with moderate to heavy PAE have been found to have greater physiologic stress reactivity between 6 and 15 months as measured by salivary cortisol during the SFP, compared to infants with mild or no PAE exposure (36). …”

Background The effects of prenatal substance exposure on neurobehavioral outcomes are inherently confounded by the effects of the postnatal environment, making it difficult to disentangle their influence. The goal of this study was to examine the contributing effects of prenatal substance use and parenting style (operationalized as contingent responding during the play episodes of the Still-face paradigm [SFP]) on infant affect. Methods A prospective cohort design was utilized with repeated assessment of substance use during pregnancy and the administration of the SFP, which measures infant response to a social stressor, at approximately 6 months of age. Subjects included 91 dyads classified into four groups: 1) Control (n=34); 2) Medication assisted therapy for opioid dependence (MAT; n=19); 3) Alcohol (n=15); 4) Alcohol+MAT (n=23). Mean % of positive infant affect and mean % of maternal responsiveness (watching, attention seeking, and contingent responding) was compared among the five SFP episodes across the four study groups by MANOVA. Mixed effects modelling was used to estimate the contributing effects of the study groups and maternal responsiveness on infant affect. Results Maternal contingent responding was associated with increase (β̂ =0.84; p<0.0001) and attention seeking with decrease (β̂ =−0.78; p<0.0001) in infant positive affect. The combined effect of prenatal exposures and covariates explained 15.8% of the variability in infant positive affect, while the model including contingent responding and covariates explained 67.1% of the variability. Conclusions Higher maternal responsiveness was a much stronger predictor of infant behavior than prenatal exposures, providing the basis for future intervention studies focusing on specific parenting strategies.

“…Cortisol measurement has been used in research to look at moderating conditions of stress, such as socioeconomic status (Ursache et al, 2015), mindfulness (Schonert-Reichl & Lawlor, 2010), stress vulnerability (Jirikowic, Chen, Nash, Gendler, & Carmichael Olson, 2016), teacher burnout (Oberle & Schonert-Reichl, 2016), temperament and personality (Blair, Peters, & Granger, 2004), competitive pressure (Verner et al, 2010), and dyadic relationships like those between a parent and child (Borelli et al, 2014;Hatfield & Williford, 2016). As such, cortisol measurement is a well-validated indicator of a stress response.…”
