This study evaluated physiological, affective, and perceptual factors hypothesized to predict how quickly 45 primiparous mothers of 7-9-month-old infants would respond to non-distressed infant crying. Aversiveness ratings of the non-distressed cries of one's "own" infant and physiological reactivity to one's "own" infant crying accounted for a significant amount of the variance in a Cox proportional hazards regression analysis of speed of response. These findings suggest that mothers who have strong affective and physiological responses to non-distressed infant cries may be more likely to respond indiscriminately to attention-seeking infant behaviors.
本研究评估了一些假设的生理、情感和感知因素，这些因素被认为可以预测45名7至9个月大婴儿的初产母亲对无痛苦婴儿哭声的反应速度。在对反应速度的Cox比例风险回归分析中，对“自己的”婴儿无痛苦哭声的厌恶评分以及对“自己的”婴儿哭声的生理反应占了很大一部分方差。这些发现表明，对无痛苦婴儿哭声有强烈情感和生理反应的母亲可能更有可能对寻求关注的婴儿行为做出不加区分的反应。
