PSYC 304 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Naturalistic Observation, Restrictiveness, Time Point
Document Summary
Parenting: positive and negative parenting behaviours, parenting an infant: sensitivity and responsiveness, warmth, encouraging reciprocal interactions, contingent responding, parenting an infant: control and restrictiveness, directiveness. Limiting what the child is doing (stop!) Sometimes necessary when the behaviour is bad or: associations with children"s development dangerous, parent effects. Stay in same room as your child . Greater maintain behaviour associated with faster language development. More restrictive behaviour was associated with slower language development. Requests for and initiations of social interactions. Greater restrictiveness was associated with slower development of children"s social behaviours: early vs consistent responsiveness. Same sample and procedures as last study (with one extra time point) Greater physical affection, closer contact, positive tone of voice. Prompt and appropriate responses to children"s bids, accepted children"s needs and interests. Mothers were classified into different groups based on their responsiveness during each developmental period. No differences between high-low and low- moderate. Nothing special of high responsiveness early and then fading.
