This study investigates differences in dyadic mother-infant and father-infant interaction patterns at infant age 12 months, and the relation between different parent-infant gender compositions and the dyadic interaction. Data were drawn from a large-scale, population-based Norwegian community sample comprising 671 mother-infant and 337 father-infant interactions. The Early Relational Health Screen (ERHS), a screening method for observing dyadic parent-infant interactions, was used to assess the parent-infant interactions. Scores on the ERHS were employed to investigate dyadic differences in the overall interaction scores, and dyadic interaction on seven sub-dimensions between mother-infant and father-infant pairs. The relation between different parent-infant gender compositions and the dyadic interaction scores was also examined. As expected in a normative sample, most parent-infant interactions received scores in the upper rating levels. Differences between mother-infant and father-infant patterns were generally small, but mother-infant dyads tended to obtain slightly higher scores. The mother-infant dyads received higher scores on the dimensions of engagement and enjoyment, but no other significant differences between the parent-infant pairs were found for the remaining dimensions. We did not find evidence for a moderation effect of child gender. However, parent-daughter dyads received somewhat higher scores than the parent-son dyads.
本研究调查了婴儿 12 个月时母婴和父子互动模式的差异，以及不同的父母-子女性别组合与二元互动之间的关系。数据来自一个大规模的、基于人群的挪威社区样本，包括 671 对母婴和 337 对父子互动。早期关系健康筛查（ERHS）是一种观察二元亲子互动的筛查方法，用于评估亲子互动。ERHS 的分数用于调查母婴和父子对之间整体互动评分以及七个子维度上的二元互动差异。还检查了不同的父母-子女性别组合与二元互动评分之间的关系。在一个规范样本中，大多数亲子互动的评分都处于较高的评级水平，这是意料之中的。母婴模式和父子模式之间的差异通常很小，但母婴对子往往得分略高。母婴对子在参与和享受维度上得分较高，但在其余维度上，父母-子女对子之间没有发现其他显著差异。我们没有发现儿童性别调节作用的证据。然而，与父子对子相比，母女对子的得分略高。
