What kinds of back-and-forth play help us feel connected after a difficult day?

This article addresses observed warmth and reciprocity in families exposed to community violence.

Who was studied?

235 Colombian children and mothers at enrollment, with 220 children followed to age five

Age / stage: 3½–5 years

Read with three questions

  1. How did the authors investigate observed warmth and reciprocity in families exposed to community violence?
  2. At what ages were each of the family measures and child outcomes actually collected?
  3. How did observed reciprocity differ from mothers’ reports of exposure to violence?

Keep the limits in view

The study followed families from age three and a half to five in one Colombian setting; maternal reports and observed interaction capture different contexts.
