However, little is known about potential mechanisms that account for these associations. The current study examined whether prenatal maternal anxiety was indirectly associated with toddler internalizing problems via prenatal maternal physiology and infant negative affectivity. We examined these associations in a longitudinal study of 162 expectant mothers from their third trimester until 18 months postpartum. Path analyses showed that higher prenatal anxiety was associated with higher infant negative affectivity at 7 months, which in turn was associated with higher toddler internalizing problems at 18 months. Prenatal anxiety was not indirectly associated with child outcomes via baseline or task-evoked respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) in response to an infant cry while pregnant. However, pregnant women with greater decreases in task-evoked RSA had toddlers with greater internalizing problems, which was mediated by infant negative affectivity at 7 months. Findings suggest that prenatal anxiety and RSA reactivity to an infant cry may be independent risk factors for the development of infant negative affectivity, which in turn increases risk for toddler internalizing problems. These findings contribute to a growing literature on mechanisms that underlie intergenerational transmission of internalizing problems.

A multimethod longitudinal examination of the effects of childhood maltreatment on birth experiences and postpartum mental health / Kira R. WRIGHT in Development and Psychopathology, 38-1 (February 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 38-1 (February 2026) . - p.418-430 Titre : A multimethod longitudinal examination of the effects of childhood maltreatment on birth experiences and postpartum mental health Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kira R. WRIGHT, Auteur ; Anna M. ZHOU, Auteur ; Nicolette C. MOLINA, Auteur ; Nina DE VOS, Auteur ; Parisa R. KALIUSH, Auteur ; Elisabeth CONRADT, Auteur ; Sheila E. CROWELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.418-430 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Birth experiences childhood maltreatment emotion dysregulation maternal mental health respiratory sinus arrhythmia Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The perinatal period has gained increasing attention from developmental psychopathologists; however, experiences during birth have been minimally examined using this framework. The current study aimed to evaluate longitudinal associations between childhood maltreatment, negative birth experiences, and postpartum mental health across levels of self-reported emotion dysregulation and respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA). Expectant mothers (N = 223) participated in a longitudinal study from the third trimester of pregnancy to 7 months postpartum. Participants contributed prenatal resting RSA and completed questionnaires prenatally, 24 hours after birth, and 7 months postpartum. Results indicated that more childhood maltreatment was associated with higher birth fear and postpartum anxiety and depressive symptoms. Resting RSA moderated the association between childhood maltreatment and birth fear, such that more childhood maltreatment and higher resting RSA were associated with increased birth fear. Additionally, self-reported prenatal emotion dysregulation moderated the association between childhood maltreatment and postpartum depressive symptoms, such that more childhood maltreatment and higher emotion dysregulation were associated with increased depressive symptoms. Emotion dysregulation across multiple levels may amplify vulnerability to negative birth experiences and postpartum psychopathology among individuals with childhood maltreatment histories. Thus, emotion dysregulation in the context of trauma-informed care may be worthwhile intervention targets during the perinatal period.
