Abstract
This study investigated associations of gross motor delay and dyadic emotional availability (EA). Data were drawn from 99 children (Mean age = 8.79 [SD = 3.2] months, 47% Female, and 67% White) with and without motor delay and their caregivers. EA was quantified from five parent–child interactions collected over 12 months. Dyads with children with significant motor delay had significantly less growth in Total EA, Child EA, Sensitivity, Responsiveness, and Involvement compared to dyads with children with typical motor development. Children with mild motor delay differed from children with typical motor development in Involvement. Severity of motor delay was associated with risk to EA in that dyads of children with more significant motor delay had more difficulties with EA over time.
Trial Registration: This trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier: NCT02593825).
期刊介绍:
Infancy, the official journal of the International Society on Infant Studies, emphasizes the highest quality original research on normal and aberrant infant development during the first two years. Both human and animal research are included. In addition to regular length research articles and brief reports (3000-word maximum), the journal includes solicited target articles along with a series of commentaries; debates, in which different theoretical positions are presented along with a series of commentaries; and thematic collections, a group of three to five reports or summaries of research on the same issue, conducted independently at different laboratories, with invited commentaries.
