“…Inter-rater agreement was also strong to excellent (n = 37) ICC single = .7–.9. Finally, preliminary tests of concurrent validity between the PIPOc and subscales of the Infant–Toddler Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment inventory (IT HOME, Caldwell and Bradley 2003 ), resulted in correlations at both time points (Jones et al 2014 ).…”

This paper reports on a quantitative evaluation of a group-based programme designed to promote parent-infant attachment and child development. Whilst group-based parenting programmes are recommended for treating and preventing conduct disorder in older children, there is, as yet, little evidence as to whether they have a positive effect on very young children and their carers’. Recent UK Government initiatives to support families and improve parenting skills in the first 2 years of children’s lives have increased the demand for the delivery and evaluation of community-based programmes. Eighty mother–child dyads were recruited from nine areas to intervention (n = 54) and control condition (n = 26). Baseline measures were collected in the children’s home when the infants were on average 3-months-old, and follow-up measures were collected 6 months post-baseline (N = 63). Mothers’ positive play behaviours were independently coded from video recordings taken in the home. Other measures included self-reported maternal confidence and mental well-being, assessed infant development and home environment. Socio-demographic data was collected once at baseline. After controlling for baseline scores, control mothers were observed to be significantly less sensitive during play with their baby at the 6 months follow-up with a significant increase in confidence. No differences were found between the groups on the other measures. This paper provides limited evidence for the effectiveness of the Incredible Years Parents and Babies group-based programme delivered in the first year of life. Further evaluation, particularly with parents at increased risk of poorer outcomes is needed to confirm and extend these results.

“…The choice of one environment or another depends largely on what you want to observe, and the context of research or intervention in which it is framed. For example, Jones et al (2015) state that recordings in the family environment more easily collect the daily experiences of the dyad, and offer savings to families in terms of time and money. However, there are times when one of the objectives of the recording is to know how the dyad works in stressful situations, so unfamiliar scenarios such as laboratories, intervention centers, or hospitals are more indicated because they are prone to generating alert or distress situations.…”

“…Therefore, despite having disadvantages such as the large investment of time it requires (due to the training of the observers, the coding time, and the verification of interobserver reliability), they seem to be the most accurate methods for evaluating behaviors between parents and children (Jones et al, 2015).…”

Objetivo: Este estudio pretende identificar y analizar las medidas observacionales para evaluar el constructo de responsividad parental, con especial atención en los componentes que se evalúan, en las características de aplicación y en los criterios de uso. Método: Se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática de la literatura de todos los instrumentos publicados a través de las bases de datos de PsychINFO y Google Scholar. Dos investigadoras independientes evaluaron la elegibilidad de todos los instrumentos, extrajeron los datos y evaluaron sus características. Resultados: Se seleccionaron 33 instrumentos. Los componentes evaluados son diversos y más del 50% evalúan también otros constructos. La mayoría son de enfoque positivo, más de la mitad se codifican a través de vídeo y el tiempo destinado a la evaluación es muy variable, desde menos de 5 minutos a más de una hora. Algo menos de la mitad solicita realizar tareas concretas y todos ellos requieren formación específica para su uso. Discusión: Existe una gran oferta de instrumentos para evaluar la responsividad parental. Esta revisión ofrece claves que facilitan la elección del instrumento más adecuado a cada necesidad profesional o de investigación. Objective: The aim of this research is to identify and analyze the observational measures for the assessment of parental responsiveness construct, with a focus on the components that are evaluated, the characteristics of the implementation and the criteria of use. Method: A systematic review was carried out to identify all instruments published through PsychINFO and Google Scholar databases. Two independent researchers assessed the eligibility criteria of all measures, substracted data and assessed their characteristics. Results: 33 instruments were selected. The components of the measures are diverse and more than 50% also evaluate other constructs. Most instruments are positive in focus, more than half are encoded through video and the evaluation periods are very variable, from less than 5 minutes to more than one hour. Less than a half request to perform specific tasks and all of them require specific training for their use. Discussion: There is a wide range of instruments to assess parental responsiveness. This review offers clues that facilitate the choice of the most appropriate instrument for each professional or research needs.

“…The literature about the role of play in child development primarily stems from studies assessing interaction quality (Aoki, Zeanah, Heller, & Bakshi, 2002;Brazelton & Cramer, 1991;Desmarais, 2006;Feldman, Keren, Gross-Rozval, & Tyano, 2004;Keren, Feldman, Namdari-Weinbaum, Spitzer, & Tyano, 2005;Waldman-Levi, 2012). To expand on how play is assessed, Jones, Hutchings, Erjavec, and Viktor (2015) described the development and initial testing of a new observation scale to code parental play behaviors, including talking, playing, touching, moving, and responding. Their analysis resulted in the three-component model, including positive physical encouragement, sensitive parenting, and verbal engagement during infant-parent interaction, but it did not fully assess parental support for playfulness behavior.…”

“…Recently, Sethna, Murray, Edmondson, Iles, and Ramchandani (2018) assessed playful excitation, touch, and active engagement of fathers who experience depression. While their play assessment more fully examined parent-child play than the study by Jones et al (2015), it did not encompass essential early play-based behaviors, such as praise, support of the child in modifying play activities, use of objects, and promotion of social play engagement. Chan, Penner, Mah, and Johnston's (2010) study is an example of a first step in examining play behaviors that are evident when children are engaged in play with their mothers.…”

Background: : Playful interactions draw a mother and child toward each other in positive ways; therefore, time spent in playful interactions with a responsive mother may be a developmental asset for a child. It is critical to examine how mothers support their children in joint play as well as their views of joint play. Methods: : This mixed-methods study consisted of 32 mothers and their typically developing children. The Parent's/Caregiver Support of Young Children's Playfulness, the Test of Playfulness, the Environmental Supportiveness Assessment, and seven open-ended interviews were used to assess joint play and maternal perceptions of this experience. Results: : Significant correlations were found between maternal support behaviors and a child's playfulness manifestation. The more frequently the mother supported her child during joint play, the less playful a child was. However, the mothers who supported their children's engagement in the process and promoted decision-making and creative play had children that were more playful. The theoretical framework explained maternal perceptions of joint play and what mothers thought was important for their children. Conclusions: : The mothers perceived joint play as central to their lives and as an opportunity to teach and direct their children's engagement. It appeared the children were more playful when their mothers supported their self-exploration, decision-making, and creative play. Comments The authors report that there are no conflicts of interest to disclose.
