Research investigating intergenerational effects of maternal trauma on infant stress reactivity and regulation is limited. Maternal mental health during pregnancy may be a contributor: psychopathology is a sequela of trauma exposure and predictor of altered self-regulatory capacity in offspring of affected mothers. We assessed associations among maternal lifetime trauma and infant stress responsivity, mediated by psychological symptoms in pregnancy. Mothers reported lifetime trauma history and anxiety, depressive, and posttraumatic stress symptoms during pregnancy. At infant age 6 months, stress reactivity and regulation were assessed via maternal behavior ratings (Infant Behavior Questionnaire-Revised, IBQ-R) and behavioral (negative mood) and physiological (respiratory sinus arrhythmia, RSA) markers during a laboratory stressor (Still-Face Paradigm). Maternal trauma was directly associated with lower infant physiological regulation and indirectly associated with lower levels of both infant behavioral and physiological regulation via higher maternal anxiety during pregnancy. Maternal trauma was also indirectly associated with higher infant reactivity via higher maternal anxiety during pregnancy. Post hoc analyses indicated differential contributions of maternal prenatal versus postnatal anxiety to infant outcomes. Findings highlight potential contributory mechanisms toward maladaptive child stress response, which has been associated with poor behavioral, cognitive, and academic outcomes.

EEG frontal alpha asymmetry mediates the association between maternal and child internalizing symptoms in childhood / Dashiell SACKS in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 66-8 (August 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 66-8 (August 2025) . - p.1129-1140 Titre : EEG frontal alpha asymmetry mediates the association between maternal and child internalizing symptoms in childhood Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Dashiell SACKS, Auteur ; Yiyi WANG, Auteur ; Asja ABRON, Auteur ; Kaitlin M.

The presence of maternal anxiety and depression are well-established risk factors for child internalizing psychopathology, yet the responsible mechanisms linking the two remain unclear. Methods We examined the potential mediating and moderating roles of EEG frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA) in the intergenerational transmission of internalizing symptoms in a longitudinal sample of N 323 mother?child dyads. Self-report maternal internalizing symptoms were evaluated at child age 3 years and 5 years, child EEG at 5 years, and parent-report child internalizing symptoms at age 7 years. Mediation was evaluated via bootstrapped (N 5,000) confidence intervals. Results We found significant associations among maternal internalizing (anxiety, depressive) symptoms when their children were ages 3 and 5 years, child FAA at age 5 years, and child internalizing symptoms at age 7 years. There was a significant mediation effect, whereby greater maternal anxiety and depressive symptoms at age 3 years were significantly associated with FAA (greater relative right cortical activation) in children at age 5 years, which, in turn, was significantly associated with greater child internalizing symptoms at age 7 years (ps < .001). There was no moderating effect of FAA on the association between maternal internalizing symptoms at age 5 years and child internalizing symptoms at age 7 years. Conclusions Greater right frontal asymmetry may be a neurophysiological mechanism that mediates the intergenerational transmission of internalizing symptoms.

Infants' neural responses to emotional faces are related to maternal anxiety / L. C. BOWMAN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 63-2 (February 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 63-2 (February 2022) . - p.152-164 Titre : Infants' neural responses to emotional faces are related to maternal anxiety Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : L. C. BOWMAN, Auteur ; Sarah A. MCCORMICK, Auteur ; Finola KANE-GRADE, Auteur ; Weiguo XIE, Auteur ; Michelle BOSQUET ENLOW, Auteur ; Charles A. NELSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.152-164 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Eeg/erp  Maternal anxiety  N290  Nc  P400  emotions  faces  infants Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Postnatal maternal anxiety is common (estimates as high as 40% prevalence) and is associated with altered mother-infant interactions (e.g., reduced maternal emotional expression and engagement). Neural circuitry supporting infants' face and emotion processing develops in their first year. Thus, early exposure to maternal anxiety may impact infants' developing understanding of emotional displays. We examine whether maternal anxiety is associated with individual differences in typically developing infants' neural responses to emotional faces. METHODS: One hundred and forty two mother-infant dyads were assessed when infants were 5, 7, or 12 months old. Infants' electroencephalographic (EEG) data were recorded while passively viewing female happy, fearful, and angry faces. Three event-related potential (ERP) components, each linked to face and emotion processing, were evaluated: NC, N290, and P400. Infant ERP amplitude was related to concurrent maternal-report anxiety assessed with the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Trait form). RESULTS: Greater maternal anxiety predicted more negative NC amplitude for happy and fearful faces in left and mid-central scalp regions, beyond covarying influences of maternal depression symptoms, infant negative emotionality, and infant age. CONCLUSIONS: Postnatal maternal anxiety is related to infants' neural processing of emotional expressions. Infants of mothers endorsing high trait anxiety may need additional attentional resources to process happy and fearful faces (expressions less likely experienced in mother-infant interactions). Future research should investigate mechanisms underlying this association, given possibilities include experiential, genetic, and prenatal factors.

Maternal caregiving moderates relations between maternal childhood maltreatment and infant cortisol regulation / Miriam CHASSON in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 66-11 (November 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 66-11 (November 2025) . - p.1627-1641 Titre : Maternal caregiving moderates relations between maternal childhood maltreatment and infant cortisol regulation Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Miriam CHASSON, Auteur ; Jennifer KHOURY, Auteur ; Michelle BOSQUET ENLOW, Auteur ; Karlen LYONS-RUTH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1627-1641 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Infancy  cortisol  intergenerational transmission  abuse  neglect  mother–infant interaction Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Children of maltreated mothers are at increased risk for adverse physical and psychological health. Both prenatal and postnatal alterations in offspring biological stress systems have been proposed as mechanisms contributing to such transmission. The aim of the current study was to assess whether maternal postnatal care of the infant moderated any effect of maternal childhood maltreatment on infant cortisol output during a mild stressor at 4?months of age. Methods Participants included 181 mother?infant dyads, screened at recruitment to result in 57.4% reporting one or more forms of childhood maltreatment. Mothers were assessed for quality of caregiving, and infants were assessed for infant salivary cortisol output during the Still-Face Paradigm at infant age 4?months. Maternal childhood maltreatment was assessed using the Maltreatment and Abuse Chronology of Exposure (MACE) self-report scales. Results Greater severity of maternal childhood neglect interacted with higher levels of maternal disoriented caregiving to predict higher infant cortisol output over the course of the Still-Face Paradigm. In contrast, maternal childhood abuse interacted with higher levels of maternal negative-intrusion to predict lower infant cortisol output. Greater maternal role confusion was linked to greater infant cortisol output regardless of maternal maltreatment history. Conclusions Maternal caregiving may moderate the effects of risk factors existing prior to the infant's birth. Disoriented caregiving in the context of maternal childhood neglect and negative-intrusive behavior in the context of maternal childhood abuse were associated with opposite directions of effect on infant stress hormone output. The results suggest that interventions addressing risks from both prenatal and postnatal periods may be most effective in mitigating intergenerational effects of maltreatment.

Mother–infant attachment and the intergenerational transmission of posttraumatic stress disorder / Michelle BOSQUET ENLOW in Development and Psychopathology, 26-1 (February 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 26-1 (February 2014) . - p.41-65 Titre : Mother–infant attachment and the intergenerational transmission of posttraumatic stress disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Michelle BOSQUET ENLOW, Auteur ; Byron EGELAND, Auteur ; Annahir N. CARIELLO, Auteur ; Emily BLOOD, Auteur ; Rosalind J. WRIGHT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.41-65 Langues : Français (fre) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Evidence for the intergenerational transmission of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is documented in the literature, although the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Attachment theory provides a framework for elucidating the ways in which maternal PTSD may increase offspring PTSD vulnerability. The current study utilized two independent prospective data sets to test the hypotheses that (a) maternal PTSD increases the probability of developing an insecure mother–infant attachment relationship and (b) an insecure mother–infant attachment relationship increases the risk of developing PTSD following trauma exposure in later life. In the first study of urban, primarily low-income ethnic/racial minority mothers and infants (N = 45 dyads), elevated maternal PTSD symptoms at 6 months were associated with increased risk for an insecure, particularly disorganized, mother–infant attachment relationship at 13 months. In the second birth cohort of urban, low-income mothers and children (N = 96 dyads), insecure (avoidant or resistant) attachment in infancy was associated in a dose–response manner with increased lifetime risk for a diagnosis of PTSD by adolescence. A history of disorganized attachment in infancy predicted severity of PTSD symptoms, including reexperiencing, avoidance, hyperarousal, and total symptoms, at 17.5 years. In both studies, associations between attachment and PTSD were not attributable to numerous co-occurring risk factors. The findings suggest that promoting positive mother–child relationships in early development, particularly in populations at high risk for trauma exposure, may reduce the incidence of PTSD.
