Assessing unpredictability in caregiver-child relationships: Insights from theoretical and empirical perspectives / Elisa UGARTE in Development and Psychopathology, 36-3 (August 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 36-3 (August 2024) . - p.1070-1089 Titre : Assessing unpredictability in caregiver-child relationships: Insights from theoretical and empirical perspectives Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Elisa UGARTE, Auteur ; Paul D. HASTINGS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1070-1089 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : caregiver unpredictability  dynamic systems  entropy  environmental statistics  unpredictability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There has been significant interest and progress in understanding the role of caregiver unpredictability on brain maturation, cognitive and socioemotional development, and psychopathology. Theoretical consensus has emerged about the unique influence of unpredictability in shaping children?s experience, distinct from other adverse exposures or features of stress exposure. Nonetheless, the field still lacks theoretical and empirical common ground due to difficulties in accurately conceptualizing and measuring unpredictability in the caregiver-child relationship. In this paper, we first provide an overview of the role of unpredictability in theories of caregiving and childhood adversity and present four issues that are currently under-discussed but are crucial to the field. Focusing on how moment-to-moment and day-to-day dynamics are at the heart of caregiver unpredictability, we review three approaches aiming to address some of these nuances: Environmental statistics, entropy, and dynamic systems. Lastly, we conclude with a broad summary and suggest future research directions. Systematic progress in this field can inform interventions and policies aiming to increase stability in the lives of children.

Longitudinal effects of maltreatment, intimate partner violence, and Reminiscing and Emotion Training on children's diurnal cortisol regulation / Kristin VALENTINO in Development and Psychopathology, 33-3 (August 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 33-3 (August 2021) . - p.868-884 Titre : Longitudinal effects of maltreatment, intimate partner violence, and Reminiscing and Emotion Training on children's diurnal cortisol regulation Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kristin VALENTINO, Auteur ; Leah C. HIBEL, Auteur ; Ruth SPEIDEL, Auteur ; Kaitlin FONDREN, Auteur ; Elisa UGARTE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.868-884 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : cortisol  elaboration  intervention  maltreatment  stress physiology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Dysregulation in children's physiological stress systems is a key process linking early adversity to poor health and psychopathology. Thus, interventions that improve children's stress physiology may help prevent deleterious health outcomes. Reminiscing and Emotion Training (RET) is a brief relational intervention designed to improve maternal caregiving support by enhancing maltreating mothers’ capacity to reminisce with their young children. This study evaluated associations between maltreatment, intimate partner violence, and the RET intervention with changes in children's diurnal cortisol regulation across the 1 year following the intervention, and the extent to which improvements in maternal elaborative reminiscing differed between intervention groups and mediated change in children's physiological functioning. Participants were 237 children (aged 36 to 86 months) and their mothers. Results indicated that the RET intervention was associated with significant positive change in elaborative reminiscing, which was sustained over time. Mothers’ elaboration immediately after the intervention served as a mediator of RET's effects on improvements in children's diurnal cortisol regulation (steeper diurnal slopes) from baseline to 1 year following intervention. This suggests RET is effective in facilitating physiological regulation among maltreated children.

Vagal flexibility to negative emotions moderates the relations between environmental risk and adjustment problems in childhood / Elisa UGARTE in Development and Psychopathology, 35-3 (August 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 35-3 (August 2023) . - p.1051-1068 Titre : Vagal flexibility to negative emotions moderates the relations between environmental risk and adjustment problems in childhood Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Elisa UGARTE, Auteur ; Jonas G. MILLER, Auteur ; David G. WEISSMAN, Auteur ; Paul D. HASTINGS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1051-1068 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Authoritarian parenting  biopsychosocial models  Externalizing problems  Internalizing problems  Respiratory sinus arrhythmia Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Neurobiological and social-contextual influences shape children?s adjustment, yet limited biopsychosocial studies have integrated temporal features when modeling physiological regulation of emotion. This study explored whether a common underlying pattern of non-linear change in respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) across emotional scenarios characterized 4-6 year-old children?s parasympathetic reactivity (N = 180). Additionally, we tested whether dynamic RSA reactivity was an index of neurobiological susceptibility or a diathesis in the association between socioeconomic status, authoritarian parenting, and the development of externalizing problems (EP) and internalizing problems over two years. There was a shared RSA pattern across all emotions, characterized by more initial RSA suppression and a subsequent return toward baseline, which we call vagal flexibility (VF). VF interacted with parenting to predict EP. More authoritarian parenting predicted increased EP two years later only when VF was low; conversely, when VF was very high, authoritarian mothers reported that their children had fewer EP. Altogether, children?s patterns of dynamic RSA change to negative emotions can be characterized by a higher order factor, and the nature by which VF contributes to EP depends on maternal socialization practices, with low VF augmenting and high VF buffering children against the effects of authoritarian parenting.
