Cognitive representations of power in caregiving relationships: biasing effects on interpersonal interaction and information processing

Article Abstract:

Adult caregivers with low perceived power, express defensive activity and cognitive constraints after challenging interactions with children. Two related studies show that mothers and unmarried women with low perceived power, manifest difficulty recalling their thoughts about challenging interaction. Mothers exhibit increasing patterns of defensive activity in the form of appeasement smiles. However, mothers with high perceived power little react to the ease or difficulty of interaction. They tend to show genuine positive affect and cognitive involvement with responsive children.

Reconceptualizing feeding and feeding disorders in interpersonal context: The case for a relational disorder

Article Abstract:

Current diagnostic approaches to feeding disorders in young children tend to neglect the fact that the feeding of young children is basically a relational and multisystemic process. Therefore, diagnostic criteria are proposed for 'Feeding Disorder Between Parent and Child', which take into the account the child, the parent, the parent-child interaction, and the social and nutritional context of feeding and provide treatment packages accordingly.
