The ability to modulate arousal is a critical skill with wide-ranging implications for development. In this study, the authors examined arousal regulation as a function of levels of prenatal cocaine exposure in 107 infants at 4 months of age using a "still-face" procedure. Facial expressions were coded. A greater percentage of heavily cocaine-exposed infants, compared with those who were unexposed to cocaine, showed less enjoyment during en face play with their mothers and continued to show negative expressions during the resumption of play following a period when the interaction was interrupted. This finding was independent of other substance exposure, neonatal medical condition, environmental risk, maternal contingent responsivity, and concurrent maternal sensitivity and vocalizations.

“…Si les instruments décrits précédemment sont relativement bien documentés en ce qui concerne leur fidélité et leur consistance interne, il n'en est pas de même pour les différents aspects reliés à leur validité. En effet, Barrera et al (1981) et Barrera (1981) donnent peu de renseignements sur la validité de leur instrument, tandis que Norbeck et al (1981Norbeck et al ( , 1982, Procidano et Heller (1983), Sarason et al (1983) et Vaux et al (1986) semblent avoir bien évalué cette propriété métrologique au regard des instruments qu'ils proposent. Souvent de nature corrélationnelle, ces données représentent la relation entre le soutien social et d'autres instruments choisis en fonction d'un certain construit théorique.…”

Dans le présent article, les auteurs examinent le concept de soutien social en apportant une attention particulière à sa définition et à sa mesure. Par une recension des écrits, les auteurs visent à clarifier la notion de soutien social et à identifier des instruments de mesure qui correspondent aux diverses définitions proposées dans les articles consultés. Cette recension montre que le soutien social est composé de trois dimensions, soit les ressources du réseau de soutien, les comportements de soutien et l’appréciation subjective de soutien. Après avoir décrit neuf instruments qui mesurent une ou plusieurs de ces dimensions, l’article se termine par une discussion qui porte sur des recommandations liées au choix d’un instrument pour mesurer le soutien social.In this article, the concept of social support is examined by focusing particularly on its definition and measurement. Through a review of the literature, the authors clarified the notion of social support and identified several instruments of measurement corresponding to the different definitions proposed. This review suggests that social support is made up of three dimensions, mainly, the support network resources, the supportive behavior, and the subjective appraisals of support. After the description of nine instruments measuring one or several of these dimensions, this article closes with bearing recommendations related to the choice of a measure for social support
