This study investigated associations between maternal and paternal prenatal (first trimester) and postnatal (3 and 30 months) anxiety and depression symptoms and preschoolers' internalizing and externalizing symptoms. The sample included 115 preschoolers and their parents (N = 230) recruited during the first trimester of pregnancy at a Portuguese health facility. Mothers and fathers completed anxiety and depression measures during the first trimester, at 3 and 30 months postpartum, and the Child Behavior Checklist 1.5–5 (CBCL) at 30 months. Multilevel linear models and moderation models were tested. Maternal depression symptoms in the first trimester, paternal depression symptoms at 3 months postpartum, and their interplay were prospectively associated with higher preschoolers' internalizing and externalizing scores at 30 months. When fathers reported low depression symptoms 3 months postpartum, mothers’ depression symptoms during the first trimester were not associated with preschoolers’ internalizing and externalizing scores at 30 months. This suggests that low paternal postnatal depression symptoms can buffer the adverse effect of maternal prenatal depression symptoms. Addressing maternal and paternal perinatal mental health could contribute to preventing preschoolers’ internalizing and externalizing problems.","PeriodicalId":48026,"journal":{"name":"Infant Mental Health Journal","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145858284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prenatal challenges include scheduling conflicts, living arrangements, and relationship dynamics with the child's mother. These factors critically impact early paternal involvement and infant bonding. Despite the importance of father involvement, research on Black fathers' prenatal involvement and infant attachment remains limited. This study examines 75 Black fathers in the United States, investigating how relationship quality and paternal depressive symptoms influence prenatal involvement and early infant attachment. The research seeks to illuminate the complex interpersonal dynamics that shape paternal involvement during pregnancy and infancy, and addresses a crucial gap in understanding Black fatherhood experiences. We found that fathers’ depressive symptoms were negatively associated with the quality of their relationship with the mother of their child (B = −1.398, SE = .524, p = .009, LLCI = −2.443, ULCI = −.353). The findings suggest interparental relationship quality and paternal depressive symptoms are key interpersonal and personal factors that are associated with father involvement in pregnancy and early infant attachment with the baby.","PeriodicalId":48026,"journal":{"name":"Infant Mental Health Journal","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12747795/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145858295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Questionnaires were completed by 1216 Dutch women (Mage = 31.50) and obstetric data were collected. To estimate longitudinal trajectories, latent class growth analysis was performed. As anticipated, three distinct bonding trajectories emerged, characterized by consistently high, intermediate, or low bonding. Bonding increased between late pregnancy and 8 weeks postpartum, but not in the low bonding class. Women with a lower education, an intended pregnancy, a spontaneous vaginal birth, more partner support, fewer depressive symptoms, more infant surgency, and less infant crying were more likely to belong to the high bonding class. Belonging to the low bonding class was associated with higher education, less partner support, more depressive symptoms, less infant surgency, and more infant crying. Women who experience prepartum bonding difficulties are at risk for impaired bonding after childbirth and they may benefit less from typical postpartum bonding factors. Associated factors may provide valuable opportunities for screening and timely intervention.","PeriodicalId":48026,"journal":{"name":"Infant Mental Health Journal","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12742452/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145835025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However infant ER in triadic (father-mother-infant) context, the most common context for infant-father engagement during the first year, has rarely been considered. This report presents a new observational system, measuring infant triangular emotion regulation (MITER), for assessing ER strategies in three-person family interactions. Sixty-nine African American infants and their parents, participants in a U.S randomized controlled trial testing effects of a prenatal intervention to promote coparenting were videorecorded in the Lausanne Trilogue Play 12 months after birth. Coders documented infant gaze, affective configurations, parental responses to bids, infant responses to parent ministrations, and ER outcomes (successfully assisted, unsuccessfully assisted, or self-regulated). Interactions were evaluated for coparenting quality, and parents reported on coparenting, depressive symptoms, and infant emotional expression. Families receiving prenatal intervention showed modest evidence of more effective triangular processes, and both successful and unsuccessful ER strategies were associated in hypothesized directions with observational and self-report indices. Multilevel analyses showed that in families with more unsuccessful ER, parental depressive symptoms had a stronger impact on child negative emotionality. Results highlight significance of exploring early ER in family triads.","PeriodicalId":48026,"journal":{"name":"Infant Mental Health Journal","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145558263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonetheless, its putative 4-factor structure initially proposed in 2001 has never generalized or been replicated in other samples, nor has it been studied in U.S. populations. Using a U.S.-based sample of 610 English-speaking mothers who completed the PBQ 4 months postpartum—mean 32.51 ± 5.25 years old and 47.5% first-time mothers—the initial goal of this study was to confirm the 4-factor/25-item structure of the PBQ. Aligned with other published studies, our confirmatory factor analysis did not support the 4-factor/25-item structure. We then used exploratory factor analysis which supported the creation of a 1-factor/14-item abbreviated measure, the PBQ-R. Unlike previous versions of the PBQ, the PBQ-R is scored so that higher scores indicate stronger bonding. The validity of the PBQ-R was supported by its high internal consistency in this sample (w = 0.89), and correlations with maternal depression (ρ = −0.46) and child neurodevelopment (ρ = 0.11 to ρ = 22) and socio-emotional symptoms (ρ = −0.22 to ρ = −0.33). The new unidimensional shorter PBQ-R is suitable for use in the U.S. as a measure of general mother-infant bonding.","PeriodicalId":48026,"journal":{"name":"Infant Mental Health Journal","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12747797/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145446207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
