The effect of cumulative biological, psychosocial, and demographic risk and infant sleep on infant social-emotional functioning in 12-month-old infants (46% female) was examined in data from racially (30% Black, 60% White, 10% multiracial/other) and socioeconomically (41% below median income) diverse caregivers (N = 468, M = 30.42 years old, SD = 5.65) recruited from two midwestern states in 2019-2020. Due to the major changes in sleep patterns during infancy and the reported association between sleep and social-emotional functioning, this study also examined whether sleep moderates the association between risk and infant social-emotional functioning and potentially promotes healthy social-emotional functioning despite risk. Greater cumulative risk was associated with poorer sleep efficiency and more social-emotional problems, but was not associated with the general acquisition of social-emotional milestones. Results also suggested that poorer sleep efficiency was associated with more social-emotional problems and poorer social-emotional milestone acquisition. No significant interaction effects were found between cumulative risk and infant sleep. Risk and sleep appear to have unique associations with infant social-emotional problems and development; thus both could be targeted in early intervention to promote social-emotional functioning during infancy and early childhood.
本研究旨在探讨生物、心理社会和人口统计学风险的累积效应以及婴儿睡眠对 12 个月大婴儿（46%为女性）社会情感功能的影响。研究数据来自于 2019 年至 2020 年间，从两个中西部州招募的种族（30%为黑人，60%为白人，10%为多种族/其他）和社会经济地位（41%收入低于中位数）多样化的看护者，共 468 名儿童（平均年龄 30.42 岁，标准差为 5.65）。由于婴儿睡眠模式的重大变化以及睡眠与社会情感功能之间的关联，本研究还探讨了睡眠是否调节了风险与婴儿社会情感功能之间的关联，并在存在风险的情况下促进了健康的社会情感功能。累积风险越大，睡眠效率越低，社会情感问题越多，但与社会情感里程碑的普遍获得无关。研究结果还表明，睡眠效率越低，社会情感问题越多，社会情感里程碑的获得越差。未发现累积风险与婴儿睡眠之间存在显著的交互作用。风险和睡眠似乎与婴儿的社会情感问题和发展有独特的关联；因此，在早期干预中可以同时针对这些因素，以促进婴儿期和幼儿期的社会情感功能。
