Abstract

SYNOPSIS Objective: Infant cry, a major stressor for caregivers, is one of the leading triggers of child abuse. The present study examined the effects of spousal support, spousal presence, and the possible moderating effect of attachment insecurity on individuals’ subjective and physiological responses to infant cry. Design: Thirty-one healthy mothers (M age = 36 years) and their spouses participated in an infant crying paradigm, where mothers were tasked to listen to infant cries under three conditions: (1) alone, (2) in the same room as partner, without physical contact, and (3) in the same room as partner, with hand-holding. Attachment was determined using the Experiences in Close Relationship Questionnaire, and physiological response was ascertained from concentration of salivary α-amylase (sAA). After each cry sound, sAA level and subjective responses to infant cry were assessed. Results: Multilevel regression analyses revealed that trait attachment-anxiety moderated the effect of spousal presence on sAA. Specifically, mothers with high attachment-anxiety showed reduced sAA when their spouse was present, which indicates that spousal support is effective for mothers with high attachment-anxiety. Conclusions: Findings from this study translate to promising clinical applications for the management of parenting stress from infant cry.
配偶存在调节高依恋不安全感母亲唾液α-淀粉酶对婴儿哭泣的反应
摘要目的:婴儿啼哭是照顾者的主要压力源,也是儿童虐待的主要诱因之一。本研究考察了配偶支持、配偶在场对婴儿啼哭的影响,以及依恋不安全感对个体主观和生理反应的调节作用。设计:31位健康的母亲(M年龄= 36岁)及其配偶参与了婴儿哭泣范式,母亲被要求在三种情况下倾听婴儿的哭声:(1)单独,(2)与伴侣在同一个房间,没有身体接触,(3)与伴侣在同一个房间,牵手。通过亲密关系体验问卷确定依恋关系,通过唾液α-淀粉酶(sAA)浓度确定生理反应。每个哭声声结束后,对婴儿哭声的主观反应和sAA水平进行评估。结果:多水平回归分析显示特质依恋焦虑调节配偶存在对sAA的影响。具体而言,当配偶在场时,高依恋焦虑母亲的sAA降低,这表明配偶支持对高依恋焦虑母亲有效。结论:本研究结果转化为有希望的临床应用,以管理父母的压力从婴儿哭泣。

期刊介绍: Parenting: Science and Practice strives to promote the exchange of empirical findings, theoretical perspectives, and methodological approaches from all disciplines that help to define and advance theory, research, and practice in parenting, caregiving, and childrearing broadly construed. "Parenting" is interpreted to include biological parents and grandparents, adoptive parents, nonparental caregivers, and others, including infrahuman parents. Articles on parenting itself, antecedents of parenting, parenting effects on parents and on children, the multiple contexts of parenting, and parenting interventions and education are all welcome. The journal brings parenting to science and science to parenting.
