不同文化间婴儿抚触行为的差异早已被注意到，尽管使用统一的标准化方法对基于抚触的抚触行为进行量化比较的局限性要大得多。父母-婴儿护理触摸量表（PICTS）是为此目的而开发的，并且已经证明了早期父母触觉刺激（抚摸）对婴儿下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺（HPA）轴功能（应激反应系统）、心血管调节和行为结果的编程效应，与动物中报告的相似。为了告知未来的研究，检查这种编程效果在印度，我们首先旨在描述和检查，使用参数和非参数的项目响应方法，项目响应频率和特点的PICTS的响应，并在英国（UK）和印度的跨文化差异项目功能（DIF）的证据。第二，在印度的文化有利于男孩的情况下，我们还旨在测试婴儿的性别和婴儿“抚摸”在两种文化背景之间的关联。PICTS在产后8-12周对两组研究中的母亲进行给药：英国维拉尔儿童健康和发育研究（n = 874）和印度班加罗尔儿童健康和发育研究（n = 395）。分类项目采用Mokken量表分析、参数项目反应分析和结构方程模型。两个维度的项目，一个用于抚摸行为，一个用于握持行为，可以被确定为满足英国Mokken量表所需的许多标准，只有抚摸量表在印度的样本中满足这些标准。因此，虽然两种文化之间的比较是可能的抚摸结构，比较PICTS内的其他非语言养育结构。分析显示，英国报告的早期中风发生率高于印度，但两国的发生率没有性别差异，也没有文化差异。我们的结论是，PICTS项目可以可靠地在这两个国家进行进一步的研究，早期触觉刺激的作用，塑造重要的儿童发展成果。
Differences in infant caregiving behavior between cultures have long been noted, although the quantified comparison of touch-based caregiving using uniform standardized methodology has been much more limited. The Parent-Infant Caregiving Touch scale (PICTS) was developed for this purpose and programming effects of early parental tactile stimulation (stroking) on infant hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA)-axis functioning (stress-response system), cardiovascular regulation and behavioral outcomes, similar to that reported in animals, have now been demonstrated. In order to inform future studies examining such programming effects in India, we first aimed to describe and examine, using parametric and non-parametric item-response methods, the item-response frequencies and characteristics of responses on the PICTS, and evidence for cross-cultural differential item functioning (DIF) in the United Kingdom (UK) and India. Second, in the context of a cultural favoring of male children in India, we also aimed to test the association between the sex of the infant and infant “stroking” in both cultural settings. The PICTS was administered at 8–12 weeks postpartum to mothers in two-cohort studies: The Wirral Child Health and Development Study, United Kingdom (n = 874) and the Bangalore Child Health and Development Study, India (n = 395). Mokken scale analysis, parametric item-response analysis, and structural equation modeling for categorical items were used. Items for two dimensions, one for stroking behavior and one for holding behavior, could be identified as meeting many of the criteria required for Mokken scales in the United Kingdom, only the stroking scale met these criteria in the sample from India. Thus, while a comparison between the two cultures was possible for the stroking construct, comparisons for the other non-verbal parenting constructs within PICTS were not. Analyses revealed higher rates of early stroking being reported for the United Kingdom than India, but no sex differences in rates in either country and no differential sex difference by culture. We conclude that PICTS items can be used reliably in both countries to conduct further research on the role of early tactile stimulation in shaping important child development outcomes.
