An Exploration of the Domain Specificity of Maternal Sensitivity among a Diverse Sample in the Infancy Period: Unique Paths to Child Outcomes
Lindsay Taraban; Daniel S. Shaw; Pamela A. Morris; Alan L. Mendelsohn
Child Development, v95 n1 e60-e73 2024
Maternal sensitivity during an observed mother-child clean-up task at 18 months and maternal sensitivity during an observed mother-child free-play task at 18 months were tested as independent predictors of child internalizing symptoms, externalizing symptoms, social competence, and language development at 24 months. Participants (n = 292 mothers) were recruited between 2015 and 2017, and were low-income (mean annual income = $19,136) and racially and ethnically diverse (43.8% Black; 44.2% Latinx). Maternal sensitivity during clean-up was a significant predictor of all social-emotional outcomes, and a unique predictor of child internalizing symptoms. Maternal sensitivity during free-play was a unique predictor of child language. Results suggest that context-specific subtypes of maternal sensitivity may differentially relate to early child outcomes.
