“…Socioeconomic status was related to maternal distress and mother‐infant interactions. Mothers with more years of education had fewer depressive symptoms, consistent with other studies of mothers following preterm birth (Bener, ; Chi et al, ). Mothers with more education may have been more aware of the complications of preterm birth and have had access to information about their infant and his or her care, which may have lowered their risk of depression.…”

“…Lower maternal income has been related to less positive home environments (Bradley et al, 1994). Although higher maternal education has been linked to higher (PTS; Cohen & Marino, 2013;Seng, Kohn-Wood, McPherson, & Sperlich, 2011;Shaw, Bernard, Storfer-Isser, Rhine, & Horwitz, 2013) lower maternal education has been linked to elevated depressive symptoms (Chi et al, 2016). Mothers with higher educational attainment have been found to be more sensitive during interactions with their preterm infants than other mothers (Zelkowitz, Papageorgiou, Bardin, & Wang, 2009).…”

“…Maternal income and education are socioeconomic factors that have been linked to psychological distress, the home environment, and mother‐infant interactions. In a cross‐sectional study in China on mothers of unspecified gestation with children aged 0–3 years, mothers of low socioeconomic status reported more depressive symptoms than mothers of higher socioeconomic status (Chi, Zhang, Wu, & Wang, ). Similarly, a longitudinal study of American Black mothers of full‐term infants in the first 18 months after birth showed strong positive correlations between low income or perception of family income as inadequate to meet family needs and elevated depressive symptoms (Beeghly et al, ).…”

“…Wei, Greaver, Marson, Herndon, and Rogers () also reported an association between being unmarried and having elevated depressive symptoms, in North Carolina mothers of infants of unspecified gestational ages. In contrast, despite being married, poor marital relationships with spouses and in‐laws could lead to elevated depressive symptoms (Chi et al, ). In other studies with contradictory results, in mothers of preterm infants, being married was associated with more depressive symptoms than being unmarried (Lee, Holditch‐Davis, & Miles, ; Rogers, Kidokoro, Wallendorf, & Inder, ).…”

Preterm birth has been associated with greater psychological distress and less positive mother infant interactions than were experienced by mothers of full-term infants. Maternal and infant sociodemographic factors have also shown a strong association with psychological distress and the mother-infant relationship. However, findings on their effects over time are limited. In this longitudinal analysis, we explored the relationship of maternal and infant sociodemographic variables (maternal age, maternal education, marital status, being on social assistance, maternal race, infant birth weight, and infant gender) to maternal psychological distress (depressive, posttraumatic stress, anxiety, parenting stress symptoms, and maternal worry about child’s health) through 12 months corrected age for prematurity, and on the home environment, and mother-infant interactions through 6 months corrected age for prematurity. We also explored differences related to maternal obstetrical characteristics (gestational age at birth, parity, mode of delivery, and multiple birth) and severity of infant conditions (Apgar scores, need for mechanical ventilation, and infant medical complications). Although the relationship of maternal and infant characteristics with these outcomes did not change over time, psychological distress differed based on marital status, maternal education, infant gender, and infant medical complications. Older mothers provided more a positive home environment. Mother-infant interactions differed by maternal age, being on public assistance, maternal race, infant gender, and infant medical complications. More longitudinal research is needed to better understand these effects over time in order to identify and support at-risk mothers.

Evidence exists that the risk factors for depression in the antenatal and postnatal period may differ, but only a handful of studies looked at depression longitudinally. The aims of this study were (1) to estimate the prevalence of postnatal depressive symptoms in Kuwait where data about postnatal depression are scarce and identify its determinants and (2) to compare these risk factors between women who had experienced antenatal depressive symptoms and those that did not. Data collected in the TRansgenerational Assessment of Children's Environmental Risk (TRACER) Study in Kuwait were used in this analysis. The sample was restricted to the 1348 women who answered the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) both antenatally and postnatally. The prevalence of postnatal depressive symptoms, defined by an EPDS score ≥ 10, was 11.7%. Overall, antenatal depressive symptoms were the strongest determinant of postnatal depressive symptoms. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that in women with depressive symptoms in pregnancy, having a lower household income was the most significant risk factor for postnatal depressive symptoms. Among women without antenatal depressive symptoms, those who had lower income, were Kuwaitis, experienced other problems in pregnancy such as perceived stress, PTSD symptoms and social isolation, and those who delivered a boy had higher odds of postnatal depressive symptoms. Antenatal depressive symptoms and other psychosocial characteristics can predict postnatal depressive symptoms. Therefore, maternal mental health issues should be detected during the antenatal period and support should be provided in order to lower the risk of postnatal depression and its sequelae.

The Psychology of Kink: A Cross‐Sectional Survey Investigating the Association Between Adult Attachment Style and BDSM-Related Identity Choice in China

BDSM is a type of sexual preference that includes bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism. Research has identified three specific power exchange roles in the practice of BDSM: dominance, submission, and switch. It has also been suggested that attachment style potentially influences BDSM interests. This study investigated the potential roles of attachment style in driving BDSM identity. A questionnaire was completed by a cross-sectional Chinese sample (n = 3310, age range 18–30 years), including 1856 BDSM practitioners (436 men, 1420 women). To assess attachment style, the questionnaire included a Chinese translation of the Adult Attachment Scale as well as items surveying BDSM interests. Compared to non-BDSM practitioners, attachment styles were not significantly different from BDSM practitioners. However, practitioners with different BDSM identities showed a significant difference in their attachment styles. Secure and avoidant attachment styles were associated with dominance, whereas submissiveness recorded high average scores of separation anxiety in both males and females. BDSM identities based on gender revealed that 60.5% of female practitioners assumed the role of submissiveness and this group recorded the highest average scores of separation anxiety among all groups. These results show that BDSM identity is related to attachment style. However, the results did not support the hypothesis that attachment styles potentially drive BDSM identities. Further research is needed to explore other psychological processes that drive BDSM identities in order to provide guidance for BDSM practitioners in choosing suitable identities, thereby helping practitioners to choose suitable identity partners and avoid negative experiences during BDSM participation.
