We examined dynamic infant-parent affect coupling using the Face-to-Face/Still-Face (FFSF). The sample included 20 infants whose older siblings had been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD-sibs) and 18 infants with comparison siblings (COMP-sibs). A series of mixed effects bivariate autoregressive models was used to represent the self-regulation and interactive dynamics of infants and parents during the FFSF. Significant bidirectional affective coupling was found between infants and parents, with infant-to-parent coupling being more prominent than parent-to-infant coupling. Further analysis of within-dyad dynamics revealed ongoing changes in concurrent infant-parent linkages both within and between different FFSF episodes. The importance of considering both inter- and intradyad differences is discussed.
我们使用面对面/静止脸(FFSF)技术研究了婴儿-父母的动态情感耦合。样本包括 20 名年龄较大的兄弟姐妹被诊断为自闭症谱系障碍(ASD-sibs)的婴儿和 18 名有比较兄弟姐妹(COMP-sibs)的婴儿。采用一系列混合效应双变量自回归模型来表示 FFSF 期间婴儿和父母的自我调节和互动动态。在婴儿和父母之间发现了显著的双向情感耦合,婴儿对父母的耦合比父母对婴儿的耦合更为明显。进一步分析对偶内动态揭示了在不同 FFSF 片段内和之间同时发生的婴儿-父母联系的持续变化。讨论了考虑对偶内和对偶间差异的重要性。
