Characterizing beneficial change in parent attributions over the course of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy: Dosage in phase of treatment matters / Kate KWASNESKI in Development and Psychopathology, 37-5 (December 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 37-5 (December 2025) . - p.2758-2771 Titre : Characterizing beneficial change in parent attributions over the course of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy: Dosage in phase of treatment matters Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kate KWASNESKI, Auteur ; Adon F.G.

The present study investigates parent attributions in the context of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) in child-welfare involved families. PCIT has two treatment phases, the first of which focuses on fostering a warm parent-child relationship and the second of which provides parents a positive discipline framework. This study characterizes individual differences in stability and change in parent attributions over the course of the intervention. It explores the impact of family treatment dosage on parent attributions as well as the impact of parent attributions on positive parenting skills outcomes. In a sample of 149 families involved with the child-welfare system (children aged 3-7, 59% nonwhite, 11% Hispanic, 50% female), multinomial logistic regression analyses and ANCOVAs were used. Results showed that engaging in additional treatment sessions increased the odds of parent attributions about their child increasing in warmth. Additionally, parents whose positive attributions of their child increased over time used more positive parenting behaviors in a cleanup task at posttreatment. These findings demonstrate that parent attributions about their child play an important role in behavioral parent training interventions. Future research should investigate how to leverage parent attributions to improve family treatment outcomes.

Differential physiological sensitivity to child compliance behaviors in abusing, neglectful, and non-maltreating mothers / Jessica NORMAN WELLS in Development and Psychopathology, 32-2 (May 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 32-2 (May 2020) . - p.531-543 Titre : Differential physiological sensitivity to child compliance behaviors in abusing, neglectful, and non-maltreating mothers Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jessica NORMAN WELLS, Auteur ; Elizabeth A.

DEGARMO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.531-543 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : child maltreatment  compliance  parenting  respiratory sinus arrhythmia Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We examined time-ordered associations between children's compliance behavior and maternal respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) in a sample of 127 child-maltreating (physical abuse, physical neglect, emotional abuse) and 94 non-maltreating mothers and their preschool-aged children. Child prosocial and aversive compliance behaviors and maternal RSA were continuously collected during a joint challenge task. Child behavior and mother RSA were longitudinally nested within-person and subjected to multilevel modeling (MLM), with between-person child maltreatment subtype and level of inconsistent parenting modeled as moderators. Both child maltreatment type and inconsistent parenting moderated the effects of child compliance on maternal RSA. Increases in children's prosocial compliance behaviors led to decreasing RSA in physically abusive mothers 30s later (i.e., increasing arousal), but predicted increases in non-maltreating mothers' RSA (i.e., increasing calm). Inconsistent parenting (vacillating between autonomy-support and strict control) also moderated the effects of children's compliance behavior on maternal physiology, weakening the effects of child prosocial compliance on subsequent maternal RSA. These findings highlight variations in mothers' physiological sensitivity to their children's prosocial behavior that may play a role in the development of coercive cycles, and underscore the need to consider individual differences in parents' physiological sensitivity to their children to effectively tailor interventions across the spectrum of risk.

Dyadic synchrony and repair processes are related to preschool children's risk exposure and self-control / Carolyn M. SCHOLTES in Development and Psychopathology, 33-3 (August 2021)

Positive interactive synchrony, relationship ruptures, and latency to repair were micro-coded during a 3–5 minute joint challenge task. Children's self-control was assessed via two laboratory tasks and by parent report. Structural equation modeling and mediation analyses were utilized to examine the direct and indirect effects of cumulative risk on children's observed and parent-reported self-control abilities. Parent–child interactive processes of dyadic synchrony and latency to repair ruptures in synchrony were examined as mediators. Dyadic synchrony and latency to repair ruptures were found to mediate associations between cumulative risk exposure and children's behavioral and parent-reported self-control. Children exposed to more cumulative risk engaged in less dyadic synchrony and experienced longer latencies to repair ruptures with their caregiver, which in turn was associated with lower child self-control. Though cross-sectional, findings suggest dyadic synchrony and repair processes may represent viable mechanistic pathways linking cumulative risk exposure and deficits in child self-control. However, independent replications using longitudinal and experimental intervention designs are needed to determine causal pathways and inform new approaches for targeting the effects of early risk exposure through a focus on two-generational interventions.

Dynamic regulatory processes among child welfare parents: Temporal associations between physiology and parenting behavior / Xutong ZHANG in Development and Psychopathology, 36-4 (October 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 36-4 (October 2024) . - p.1653-1668 Titre : Dynamic regulatory processes among child welfare parents: Temporal associations between physiology and parenting behavior Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Xutong ZHANG, Auteur ; Lisa GATZKE-KOPP, Auteur ; Elizabeth A. SKOWRON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1653-1668 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : child maltreatment  dynamic systems  parenting behaviors  physiology  regulation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined how temporal associations between parents' physiological and behavioral responses may reflect underlying regulatory difficulties in at-risk parenting. Time-series data of cardiac indices (second-by-second estimates of inter-beat intervals - IBI, and respiratory sinus arrhythmia - RSA) and parenting behaviors were obtained from 204 child welfare-involved parents (88% mothers, Mage = 32.32 years) during child-led play with their 3- to 7-year-old children (45.1% female; Mage = 4.76 years). Known risk factors for maltreatment, including parents' negative social cognitions, mental health symptoms, and inhibitory control problems, were examined as moderators of intra-individual physiology-behavior associations. Results of ordinary differential equations suggested increases in parents' cardiac arousal at moments when they showed positive parenting behaviors. In turn, higher arousal was associated with momentary decreases in both positive and negative parenting behaviors. Individual differences in these dynamic processes were identified in association with parental risk factors. In contrast, no sample-wide RSA-behavior associations were evident, but a pattern of increased positive parenting at moments of parasympathetic withdrawal emerged among parents showing more total positive parenting behaviors. This study illustrated an innovative and ecologically-valid approach to examining regulatory patterns that may shape parenting in real-time and identified mechanisms that should be addressed in interventions.

Effects of parent–child interaction therapy dosage on child and parent outcomes: differentiating child-directed interaction and parent-directed interaction session impacts in child welfare-involved families / Xiaolan LIAO in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 67-8 (August 2026)

SKOWRON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1224-1243 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : PCIT  treatment dosage  parenting  child welfare  RCT Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Parent?child interaction therapy (PCIT) improves parenting and child behavior, yet little is known about how dosage of its two phases, warm relationship building focused child-directed interaction (CDI) sessions and safe, effective discipline skills-focused parent-directed interaction (PDI) sessions, contributes to outcomes, particularly in child welfare-involved families. Understanding these dose?response patterns can clarify the pathways through which PCIT produces change. Methods In a sample of 204 child welfare families with young children, we examined the dose?response relationship between each PCIT phase and key intervention outcomes of positive and negative parenting skills and disruptive child behavior problems. We also used sequential mediation models to test time-ordered intervention dosage effects (i.e., number of CDI sessions completed and subsequent number of PDI sessions completed) on the parent and child outcomes. Results Sequential mediation models showed that the PCIT intervention exerted significant indirect effects on increased positive parenting skills and decreased negative parenting behaviors and child behavior problems through higher dosage of relationship-enhancing CDI sessions followed by higher dosage of safe discipline-focused PDI sessions. Further, CDI dosage interacted with PDI dosage to predict greater gains in positive parenting skills outcomes. Conclusions These results contribute new insights into the pathways through which PCIT shapes outcomes in a sample of child welfare-involved families. Findings also highlight the significant unique contribution that limit-setting-oriented PDI, a relatively understudied phase of PCIT, plays in enhancing positive parenting skills and mitigating child behavior problems.
