The present study isolates these mechanisms by testing whether brief instructions to narrate or behaviourally mirror infant behaviours can immediately improve caregiver sensitivity. Mothers–infant dyads ( N = 129, 85% White, 4% Hispanic or Latine; infants aged 6 months) participated in a 10‐min ‘free play’ interaction coded for caregiver sensitivity. Prior to the final 2 min, mothers were randomly assigned to ‘narrate’ or ‘mirror’ their infant's behaviours, or to a control condition. Analyses of within‐person changes in sensitivity revealed that mothers instructed to ‘narrate’ were more sensitive after receiving these instructions than before. In contrast, mothers instructed to ‘mirror’ were less sensitive after receiving the instructions than before. Mothers assigned to the control group showed no change in sensitivity. These findings show narration can improve sensitivity while mirroring may be counterproductive with preverbal infants.","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined the internal structure, reliability and construct validity of the Measure of Engagement, Independence and Social Relationships for children aged 3–5 years (MEISR 3–5) within home routines. The sample included 705 children aged 36 to 72 months (M = 51.01, SD = 10.07) receiving early childhood intervention services across Spain. A confirmatory factor analysis based on McWilliam's theoretical functional domains—engagement, independence and social relationships—showed acceptable global model fit and very high internal consistency. However, convergent validity was only partial, and discriminant validity was not supported, indicating substantial overlap amongst domains. To further examine the dimensionality of the instrument, parcel‐based analyses were conducted in a subsample ( n = 553) and compared correlated three‐factor, two‐factor, bifactor, second‐order and unidimensional models. All models showed equivalent and excellent fit. Bifactor indices ( ωh ≈ 0.98; ECV > 0.90) indicated that most reliable and common variance was attributable to a dominant general participation factor, with minimal unique variance remaining for the specific domains. These findings suggest that the MEISR 3–5 functions as an essentially unidimensional measure at the psychometric level. The total score appears to provide the most robust quantitative indicator of children's participation in home routines, whereas domain‐level scores are better interpreted as clinically descriptive dimensions that can inform goal setting, intervention planning, and progress monitoring in routine‐based practise.","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maternal stress is similarly cited as negatively associated with infant development. Given the various stressful experiences more common in lower SES contexts, this review sought to understand whether maternal prenatal or postnatal stress mediates or moderates the association between SES and infant neurocognitive development. Four databases were systematically searched in line with PRISMA guidelines. Fifteen studies were eligible for inclusion, of which two examined prenatal maternal stress, two both pre‐ and postnatal stress and 11 postnatal maternal stress. Among the prenatal studies, only one tested for mediation, with no evidence that prenatal maternal stress mediated the link between SES and infant neurocognition. Likewise, two other prenatal studies reported no moderation of the stress–infant neurocognition relationship by SES. Of the postnatal studies, only two examined whether maternal postnatal stress mediated any SES‐infant neurocognition association, with contrasting results. Further studies reported negative correlations between stress and SES. Gaps in the current research regarding mediation analyses, infant brain responses and research into lower income settings were identified.","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examined prospective associations between prenatal stress from a natural disaster and infant biobehavioral outcomes across toddlerhood. Women pregnant during Hurricane Harvey in 2017 completed assessments of their objective levels of hardship and their subjective distress from the disaster. Offspring ( n = 47) completed follow‐up assessments at 24 months to collect autonomic nervous system activity (respiratory sinus arrhythmia, RSA; heart rate, HR) during a stressor task. Parents assessed their children's behavioural problems at 24 and 48 months of age. Increased objective hardship was associated with greater HR reactivity and recovery. Prenatal subjective distress was associated with increased child behaviour problems at 24 months. Higher behaviour problems at 24 months of age were also associated with HR reactivity and recovery. No significant effects with RSA reactivity or recovery were observed. Findings suggest that prenatal stress is an important predictor of offspring biobehavioral risk. Further research is needed to explore longitudinal pathways.","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"156 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
