采用自我报告量表和24小时行为日记对丹麦婴儿在3、6和12周时的母亲照顾和大惊小怪/哭闹进行了检查。母亲们报告了通常与反应性护理相关的做法：频繁喂养，对婴儿哭声作出迅速反应，以及花相当多的时间抱着婴儿。大惊小怪的持续时间在前2个月达到顶峰，在晚上达到顶峰，在12周内减少了大约50%。哭闹是最常见的行为，9.2%的婴儿每天哭闹和哭闹超过3小时。与其他西方研究相比，24小时的大惊小怪/哭泣持续时间较低，大惊小怪占总痛苦的80%。丹麦的护理实践可能部分解释了婴儿痛苦持续时间较短和哭闹比例较低的原因。然而，一些婴儿尽管受到了敏感的照顾，但仍会大惊小怪/哭闹，这可能反映了婴儿行为调节成熟的个体差异。
Maternal caregiving and fussing/crying in Danish infants at 3, 6, and 12 weeks were examined using self-report scales and 24-hour behavior diaries. Mothers reported practices commonly associated with responsive caregiving: frequent feeding, prompt response to infant cries, and considerable time holding the infant. Fuss/cry durations peaked in the first 2 months, were highest in evenings, and decreased approximately 50% by 12 weeks. Fussing was the majority behavior, and 9.2% of the infants fussed and cried more than 3 hours per day. In contrast with other Western studies, 24-hour fuss/cry durations were lower, and fussing accounted for up to 80% of total distress. Danish caregiving practices may partially explain the lower durations of infant distress and the lower ratio of cry to fuss. However, some infants fuss/cry a great deal despite sensitive care, which may reflect individual differences in infant maturation of behavior regulation.
