“…Foster infant temperament was assessed using the Infant Behavior Questionnaire and the Early Childhood Behavior Questionnaire (Gartstein & Rothbart, ; Rothbart, ). Infants with scores that fell 2 SD or more above the mean on the soothability subscale were coded as “high risk.” Prematurity was determined if the infant either weighed < 2500 g at birth or was born at < 32 weeks gestation (or both), following guidelines in previous studies (Caputo et al., ; Minde, ). Two or more foster placements were coded as “high risk,” as established in previous research (Lewis, Dozier, Ackerman, & Sepulveda‐Kozakowski, ).…”

Foster Mother–Infant Bonding: Associations Between Foster Mothers' Oxytocin Production, Electrophysiological Brain Activity, Feelings of Commitment, and Caregiving Quality

et al. 2012

This study examined the biological processes associated with foster mother-infant bonding. In an examination of foster mother-infant dyads (N = 41, mean infant age = 8.5 months), foster mothers’ oxytocin production was associated with their expressions of behavioral delight toward their foster infant and their average P3 response to images of all infant faces in the first two months of the relationship. Three months later, foster mothers’ oxytocin production was still associated with delight toward their foster infant and was also specifically associated with their P3 response to an image of their foster infant. Similar to biologically-related mothers and infants, oxytocin appears to be associated with foster mothers’ brain activity and caregiving behavior, with patterns suggestive of bond formation.

“…Of these, 367 came from mental health centers in both large and small cities in Florida and Louisiana, 73 came from private practitioners in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, and 15 were brain-damaged children from Baton Rouge (Fitch,Note 1). The 823 other children included 65 from a longitudinal study of prematurely born children in New York (Caputo et al, 1974). The remainder came from Florida and Louisiana.…”

This article consists of two parts. The first part describes first-, second-, and third-order factor analyses of the responses of 1,278 parents to the Children's Behavioral Classification Project (CBCP) instrument. At the first order, 30 factors were derived, 26 of which matched factors from an earlier study with 341 subjects. At the second order, 9 factors were found, and at the third order, two forms of the well-known conduct problem and personality problem factors that could not be reduced by a fourth-order factoring were revealed. The second part of the study demonstrated convergencies among factors derived from the CBCP instrument and the factors, syndromes, or diagnostic categories of other instruments. Of the first-order CBCP factors, 14 appear to match the "narrow band syndromes" of Achenbach and Edelbrock's historic review. At least 7 of Sines' behavioral factors and 12 of Wirt et al.'s Personality Inventory for Children dimensions parallel the first-order CBCP factors; similarly, from 16 to 24 DSM-III categories appear to be fair matches. All but one of Stott et al's Bristol Social Adjustment Guides syndromes are matches for CBCP second-order factors. Finally, Quay's four major patterns appear to be counterparts of the third-order CBCP factors, as do Achenbach and Edelbrock's "broad band" factors and major DSM-III categories. Behavioral inventories intended for clinical use with children and adolescents have usually been subjected to factor analysis in order either (a) to facilitate interpretation of the results or (b) to establish the basic dimensions of children's emotional disorders, and, in so doing, to begin to create a system of nomenclature and classification. Factor analyses of the various inventories have demonstrated substantial success in their first purpose and have shown, among other things, that they do make distinctions among independently diagnosed, or otherwise identified, groups (

“…Perinatal variables such as hypoxia or low birth weight have shown moderate positive correlations with cognitive and motor outcome measures (Smith, Flick, Ferriss, & Sellman, 1972; Werner, Simonian, Bierman, & French, 1967), but recent studies have indicated that a complex network of associations must be considered, since children with similar perinatal insults may have quite different developmental courses (Cohen, Parmelee, Beckwith, & Sigman, 1986; Cohen, Sigman, Parmelee, & Beckwith, 1982; Escalona, 1982). Risk index systems based on combinations of demographic, biological, and environmental variables have been developed for predicting motor, language, and cognitive development (Caputo et al, 1974; Field, Hallock, Ting, Dempsey, Dabiri, & Shuman, 1978; Parmelee, Sigman, Kopp, & Haber, 1975; Ramey, Stedman, Borders-Patterson, & Mengel, 1978; Siegel, 1982; Siegel et al, 1982). Having specified a population of infants as being high-risk, the problem becomes one of early detection and delineation of abnormalities so that early intervention can be arranged.…”

A parent-completed questionnaire, the Minnesota Infant Development Inventory (MIDI) (Ircton & Thwing, 1980), was compared to Bayley Mental Scale scores for 44 male and 42 female high-risk 8-month-olds. Categorization of infants as delayed or not delayed on each of the five subscales of the MIDI showed good overall agreement (81% to 90%) with Bayley findings. Categorization of infants based on their lowest MIDI subscale score yielded good sensitivity (85%) in detecting delay and fair specificity (77%) in identifying normal development. Multiple regression analysis indicated that the Gross Motor scale score was the strongest predictor of performance on Bayley Mental Scale items. Results indicate the potential utility of the MIDI as a screening tool for use in follow-up programs monitoring the development of high-risk infants over time. The authors acknowledge with thanks the valuable comments offered by Dr. Harold Ireton on drafts of this paper. The assistance of Lynn Bachura, for typing, and the Perinatal Follow-up Program staff, for parent liaison and scheduling, is gratefully appreciated.
