神经肽催产素（OT）主要通过其对父母-婴儿接近和触摸行为的影响来支持哺乳动物养育子女的发展，然而，对人类OT与父母触摸和接触之间的联系知之甚少。本研究考察了在三元互动过程中母亲和父亲OT与家庭单元中触摸和接触模式之间的关系。7名父母和他们的第一个孩子在产后第2和第6个月被观察两次，用ELISA方法测定血浆OT和唾液皮质醇（CT）。三重同步被定义为父母之间以及父母与婴儿之间的身体接近和深情触摸之间的协调时刻，父母和孩子都在同步他们的社会凝视是由母亲和父亲的OT预测的在母亲中，三重同步也与较低的CT水平独立相关结果强调了OT在向父母过渡的家庭单位的早期形成中的作用（C）2010 Elsevier Inc保留所有权利
The neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) supports the development of parenting in mammals primarily through its impact on parent-infant proximity and touch behaviors however much less is known about the links between OT and parental touch and contact in humans In this study we examined the relations between maternal and paternal OT and patterns of touch and contact in the family unit during triadic interactions Thirty-seven parents and their firstborn child were seen twice during the 2nd and 6th postpartum month Plasma OT and salivary cortisol (CT) were assessed with ELISA methods At six months triadic mother-father-infant interactions were videotaped and micro-coded for patterns of proximity touch and gaze behavior Triadic synchrony defined as moments of coordination between physical proximity and affectionate touch between the parents as well as between parent and infant while both parent and child are synchronizing their social gaze was predicted by both maternal and paternal OT Among mothers triadic synchrony was also independently related to lower levels of CT Results highlight the role of OT in the early formation of the family unit at the transition to parenthood (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc All rights reserved
