Avoidance, Frustration, and Hostility during Toddlers' Interaction with Their Mothers and Fathers.

Garcia-Sellers, Martha J.; Church, Kelly

Infant-Toddler Intervention: The Transdisciplinary Journal, v10 n4 p259-74 Dec 2000

A study involving 26 toddlers used an observational procedure, the Box Task, to elicit non-self-regulatory behavior. Both mothers' and fathers' interaction was found to be related to children's behavior. For mothers, synchrony of interaction most strongly predicted internalizing behavior, whereas for fathers, focus on control and direction style predominated. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
