Consistency in parenting infants has positive developmental outcomes. Yet, the role of socioeconomic status (SES) in consistency of maternal behaviors is not well understood. We investigated individual-order continuity of maternal smile and laughter and positive vocalization from 6 to 12 months of age in 82 mother-infant dyads. Overall, individual differences in maternal smile and laughter, and positive vocalization were consistent across time. A multidimensional measure of SES moderated the association of maternal smile and laughter from 6 to 12 months, such that infants from lower SES families were vulnerable to unpredictable parenting - experiencing a lack of consistency in maternal smiles and laughter.
育儿一致性对婴儿的发展有积极影响。然而,社会经济地位(SES)在母亲行为一致性中的作用尚不清楚。我们调查了 82 对母婴对从 6 到 12 个月大的母亲微笑、大笑和积极发声的个体顺序连续性。总的来说,母亲微笑、大笑和积极发声的个体差异在整个时间内是一致的。SES 的多维衡量标准调节了母亲从 6 到 12 个月大笑和欢笑的关联,以至于来自社会经济地位较低家庭的婴儿容易受到不可预测的育儿方式的影响——母亲的微笑和大笑缺乏一致性。
