Mother-Infant Affect Synchrony as an Antecedent of the Emergence of Self-Control.

Feldman, Ruth; Greenbaum, Charles W.; Yirmiya, Nurit

Developmental Psychology, v35 n1 p223-31 Jan 1999

Assessed mother-infant face-to-face play and infant difficult temperament at 3 and 9 months; assessed self-control, verbal IQ, and maternal warm discipline at 2 years. Found that maternal synchrony with infant affect at 3 months and mutual synchrony at 9 months were related to self-control at 2 years when temperament, IQ, and maternal style were partialed. (JPB)
