dc.description.abstract | High levels of maternal responsiveness are associated with healthy cognitive and emotional
development in infants. However, depression and anxiety can negatively impact individual
mothers’ responsiveness levels and infants’ expressive language abilities. Australian
mother-infant dyads (N = 48) participated in a longitudinal study examining the effect of
maternal responsiveness (when infants were 9- and 12-months), and maternal depression
and anxiety symptoms on infant vocabulary size at 18-months. Global maternal responsiveness ratings were stronger predictors of infants’ vocabulary size than levels of depression
and anxiety symptoms. However, depression levels moderated the effect of maternal
responsiveness on vocabulary size. These results highlight the importance of screening for
maternal responsiveness–in addition to depression–to identify infants who may be at developmental risk. Also, mothers with elevated depression need support to first reduce their
symptoms so that improvements in their responsiveness have the potential to be protective
for their infant’s language acquisition. | es_ES |
