Intrusive and withdrawn behaviours of mothers interacting with their infants and boyfriends

Article Abstract:

Stability and change in intrusive and withdrawn interaction behaviours of mothers were investigated, and comparisons were made between mother-infant and mother-boyfriend interactions. Mothers who had been withdrawn with their infants were found to be physically distant, quiet, and underinvolved with their boyfriends, while mothers who had been intrusive with their infants, were sharp and controlling with their boyfriends. The results indicate stability across social contexts.

Preschoolers of Dysphoric mothers

Article Abstract:

Chronic dysphoria among mothers negatively influences the mothers' perceptions of their children and affects the interaction behavior between mother and child. Dysphoric mothers tend to rate their preschool children as having more internalizing and externalizing behavior problems than nondysphoric mothers. Dysphoric mothers also have a more negative affect during play interactions than their children. Poor quality interactions are also seen in dysphoric mother-infant dyads.

Under-eating and over-eating concerns among adolescents

Article Abstract:

A study of 462 adolescents concerned with their eating revealed that under-eating is a result of poor parental relationship, less social support, lower self-esteem and low levels of exercise while over-eaters had an intimacy problem with their fathers. This over-eating group also had low self-esteem and low levels of exercise. In the depression scale, the over-eating concern group scored higher than the under-eating adolescents.
