Annual Research Review: The role of caregiver sensitivity in children's developmental outcomes – an umbrella review / Marissa D. NIVISON in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 67-4 (April 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 67-4 (April 2026) . - p.486-507 Titre : Annual Research Review: The role of caregiver sensitivity in children's developmental outcomes – an umbrella review Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Marissa D. NIVISON, Auteur ; Pasco FEARON, Auteur ; Jennifer M. JENKINS, Auteur ; Sheri MADIGAN, Auteur Année de publication : 2026 Article en page(s) : p.486-507 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Caregiver sensitivity  umbrella review  meta-analysis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Caregiver sensitivity is the extent to which a caregiver notices a child's signal, interprets it correctly, and responds quickly and appropriately. Although originally introduced to developmental science as the key antecedent of attachment security, decades since its conception, hundreds of studies have been conducted examining the predictive significance of caregiver sensitivity to a broad range of developmental outcomes. The literature on caregiver sensitivity and related constructs (e.g., warmth, responsivity, negative parenting) has grown exponentially and is now the focus of several meta-analyses. We conducted an umbrella review ? a systematic review of reviews ? to examine the extent to which caregiver sensitivity and related constructs are associated with child attachment, socioemotional, and cognitive outcomes. Searches in EMBASE, PsycINFO, and Medline and yielded 2,157 abstracts. Studies were included if they were a meta-analysis of caregiver sensitivity or a related construct, focused on children's developmental outcomes, were available in English, French, or Spanish, and were published between 2010 and 2024. Conducted and reported in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, 17 meta-analyses were identified. Using the metaumbrella package in R, we conducted quantitative analyses which demonstrated that caregiver sensitivity was moderately associated with attachment security (r?=?.25, k?=?253, n?=?37,444), cognition (r?=?.23, k?=?44, n?=?6,777), language skills (r?=?.26, k?=?54, n?=?11,136), and weakly associated with socioemotional problems (r?=??.07, k?=?135, n?=?33,305). Narrative analysis of other meta-analyses on caregiver warmth, responsivity, positive and negative parenting, and child outcomes also showed associations in the expected direction. Our findings demonstrate the critical importance of caregiver sensitivity on children's socioemotional and cognitive development, supporting caregiver sensitivity as an important target for early childhood prevention and intervention programs.

Child-evoked maternal negativity from 9 to 27 months: Evidence of gene–environment correlation and its moderation by marital distress / Pasco FEARON in Development and Psychopathology, 27-4 (Part 1) (November 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 27-4 (Part 1) (November 2015) . - p.1251-1265 Titre : Child-evoked maternal negativity from 9 to 27 months: Evidence of gene–environment correlation and its moderation by marital distress Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Pasco FEARON, Auteur ; David REISS, Auteur ; Leslie D. LEVE, Auteur ; Daniel S. SHAW, Auteur ; Laura V. SCARAMELLA, Auteur ; Jody M. GANIBAN, Auteur ; Jenae M. NEIDERHISER, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.1251-1265 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Past research has documented pervasive genetic influences on emotional and behavioral disturbance across the life span and on liability to adult psychiatric disorder. Increasingly, interest is turning to mechanisms of gene–environment interplay in attempting to understand the earliest manifestations of genetic risk. We report findings from a prospective adoption study, which aimed to test the role of evocative gene–environment correlation in early development. Included in the study were 561 infants adopted at birth and studied between 9 and 27 months, along with their adoptive parents and birth mothers. Birth mother psychiatric diagnoses and symptoms scales were used as indicators of genetic influence, and multiple self-report measures were used to index adoptive mother parental negativity. We hypothesized that birth mother psychopathology would be associated with greater adoptive parent negativity and that such evocative effects would be amplified under conditions of high adoptive family adversity. The findings suggested that genetic factors associated with birth mother externalizing psychopathology may evoke negative reactions in adoptive mothers in the first year of life, but only when the adoptive family environment is characterized by marital problems. Maternal negativity mediated the effects of genetic risk on child adjustment at 27 months. The results underscore the importance of genetically influenced evocative processes in early development.

Commentary: Are complex parenting interventions less than the sum of their parts? A reflection on Leijten et al. (2022) / Pasco FEARON in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 63-4 (April 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 63-4 (April 2022) . - p.500-502 Titre : Commentary: Are complex parenting interventions less than the sum of their parts? A reflection on Leijten et al. (2022) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Pasco FEARON, Auteur ; Edmund J.S. SONUGA-BARKE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.500-502 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Parenting interventions provide the backbone of professional support for children with behavioural problems and their families (Maughan et al., 2005). The overwhelming evidence for their value, at least in the short term, has prompted the field to move away from simply testing their efficacy to focus on issues of implementation. More and more studies are therefore addressing the interrelated goals of optimising outcomes, increasing scalability and affordability, improving access and removing barriers for hard-to-reach and treat families (e.g., Barnett et al., 2019; Day et al., 2012; Kazdin, 2015). Because parenting interventions are often complex and integrate multiple discrete therapeutic elements, achieving cost-effective interventions that can be implemented efficiently at scale will depend on identifying which elements work best and which are redundant and can be cut. This can help streamline interventions to make them less burdensome by cutting the time, effort and resources needed for families to take part and making the interventions themselves easier to train and deliver. It can also help focus energies on areas where improvements of existing interventions are most needed and/or likely to yield the most value. Leijten and colleagues (2022) addressed these issues in their excellent review.
