这项研究探讨了在自由游戏互动中观察到的母亲敏感性与糖皮质激素皮质醇水平变化之间的关系，以响应旨在引起 6 个月大婴儿负面影响的程序。样本包括宾夕法尼亚州和北卡罗来纳州主要农村和低收入社区的 1,292 个家庭。结果表明，更敏感的母亲所生的婴儿在基线时皮质醇水平较低，皮质醇反应性和对情绪过程的调节能力增强。母亲的消极情绪与婴儿皮质醇无关。研究结果强调需要进一步研究早期护理的变化和幼儿压力反应的发展。
This study examined relations between maternal sensitivity as observed in a free play interaction and changes in levels of the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol in response to procedures designed to elicit negative affect in 6-month old infants. The sample included 1,292 families in predominantly rural and low-income communities in Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Results indicated that infants of more sensitive mothers had lower levels of cortisol at baseline and increased cortisol reactivity and regulation in response to the emotion procedures. Maternal negativity was unrelated to infant cortisol. Findings highlight the need for further research on variation in early caregiving and the development of the stress response in young children.
