How can studies account for a mother's prior experiences when describing responsive caregiving?
The investigators examine maternal trauma and sensitivity in relation to temperament while keeping parent and child measures distinct.
Who was studied?
Mothers and infants assessed for trauma history, sensitivity and infant temperament
Age / stage: Infancy
Read with three questions
- How can studies account for a mother's prior experiences when describing responsive caregiving?
- Whose observations or reports were used, and what competing explanations are compatible with them?
- Which features of the study population (mothers and infants assessed for trauma history, sensitivity and infant temperament) would matter when applying the findings in another setting?
Keep the limits in view
A reported trauma history does not fully describe its impact or the supports a mother has received. Observed sensitivity and parent-rated infant temperament can also reflect different perspectives.
