Studying Quality of Caregiving Behavior: The Roles of Infant, Mother, Father, and Culture

This Special Issue collects five empirical studies from around the world that use diverse methodological approaches and focus at different levels to investigate how behavioral, hormo-nal, prenatal and postnatal factors, brain functioning, and environment regulate early interac-tions of parents with distressed infants and young children.Cry represents the first and initial form human (and nonhuman) infants use to communicate with the external world (Esposito, Hiroi, & Scattoni, 2017). This form of communication is so important that its abnormal developmental trajectory may signal atypical development (Esposito, Nakazawa, Venuti, & Bornstein, 2012;Esposito & Venuti, 2009).
