“…Although maternal psychological health in the present study was within a normal range for a community sample (see, Condon & Corkindale, 1998;Crawford, Henry, Crombie & Taylor, 2001;Davies et al, 2008;Jones et al, 2013;Tennant et al, 2007), maternal mood was negatively correlated with perceived mother-infant attachment (see also Davies et al, 2008). This correlation suggests that perceived mother-infant attachment might be a more appropriate measure of the mother-infant relationship than maternal perceptions of their infant's warmth and invasiveness used by Jones et al, (2013).…”

“…Internal reliability from Cronbach's alpha was .86 for the present sample. Well-being Scale (WEMWBS;Tennant, Hiller, Fishwick, Platt, Joseph, Weich et al, 2007): This 14 item questionnaire was chosen to measure mother's mental well-being. The questionnaire consists of positively worded statements such as, "I've been feeling good about myself" and "I've had energy to spare" scored on a 5 point scale from none of the time to all of the time.…”

Early infant interest in their mother's face is driven by an experience based face processing system, and is associated with maternal psychological health, even within a non clinical community sample. The present study examined the role of the voice in eliciting infants' interest in mother and stranger faces and in the association between infant face interest and maternal psychological health.Infants aged 3.5-months were shown photographs of their mother's and a stranger's face paired with an audio recording of their mother's and a stranger's voice that was either matched (e.g., mother's face and voice) or mismatched (e.g., mother's face and stranger's voice). Infants spent more time attending to the stranger's matched face and voice than the mother's matched face and voice and the mismatched faces and voices. Thus, infants demonstrated an earlier preference for a stranger's face when given voice information than when the face is presented alone. In the present sample, maternal psychological health varied with 56.7% of mothers reporting mild mood symptoms (depression, anxiety or stress response to childbirth). Infants of mothers with significant mild maternal mood symptoms looked longer at the faces and voices compared to infants of mothers who did not report mild maternal mood symptoms. In sum, infants' experience based face processing system is sensitive to their mothers' maternal psychological health and the multimodal nature of faces.

Abstract:The business case for wellbeing is now an influential agenda in the built environment. Increasing demand for user-centred environments means evidence-based design proven to deliver wellbeing outcomes for end users is essential. The challenge is to effectively capture and disseminate this evidence to a range of expert and non-expert audiences. Further, being able to make the link between increased wellbeing and an increase in the productivity, or performance, of building users requires new definitions and methods. An innovative wellbeing valuation approach is presented, consisting of a multi-item scale to measure and quantify the wellbeing outcomes experienced by building users, and impact reporting techniques using Social Return on Investment (SROI) to produce transferable, monetised evaluation metrics. This combination has the capability to communicate the value of design in a powerful and accessible manner. Wellbeing valuation metrics represent an opportunity to develop new userdriven knowledge and shape the built environment in positive ways.http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/bsert Establishing psychological wellbeing metrics for the built environment Abstract The business case for wellbeing is now an influential agenda in the built environment.
