Abstract(s)
A sensibilidade materna no decorrer de interações mãe-criança está associada a um melhor desen -
volvimento cognitivo das crianças em idade pré-escolar. Porém, o papel da sensibilidade paterna
encontra-se menos explorado. Setenta crianças (39 do sexo masculino, 55.7%) foram observadas aos
4½ anos de idade, em sessões independentes com a mãe e com o pai, numa interação de jogo livre.
Embora não tenha sido encontrada diferença entre sensibilidade materna e paterna durante as
interações, apenas a primeira se revelou um preditor significativo de melhor desenvolvimento cognitivo
das crianças em idade pré-escolar. Os resultados são discutidos tendo em conta as especifi cidades da
interação mãe-criança e pai-criança e o seu efeito no desenvolvimento cognitivo das crianças.
ABSTRACT: Maternal sensitivity during mother-child interaction is associated with better preschoolers’ cognitive development. However, the role of father’s sensitivity has been less studied. Seventy children (39 males, 55.7%) were assessed at 4½ years of age, in independent sessions with their mother and their father, in a free play interaction. Although no difference was found between mother’s and father’s sensitivity during the interactions, only the former became a significant predictor of preschoolers’ better cognitive development. The results are discussed taking into account specificities of motherchild and father-child interaction and its effect on children’s cognitive development.
