Abstract(s)
No quadro dos estudos sobre o relacionamento mãe-
-filho, procurámos averiguar a relação entre a reactividade
infantil observada em condições de stress e a qualidade
do comportamento interactivo infantil e materno
de 40 díades mãe-filho cujos bebés tinham cerca de 3
meses e não apresentavam nenhuma condição declarada
de risco. A qualidade da interacção mãe-filho foi avaliada
em jogo livre através da escala CARE-Index. Para testar
a reactividade infantil submetemos os bebés à situação
experimental Still-Face. Os resultados mostram que a
reactividade infantil expressa naquela situação laboratorial
não é independente do comportamento dos bebés
em jogo livre. Com efeito, os bebés com maior dificuldade
em conformar-se com a ausência de resposta materna
apresentam um comportamento menos cooperativo e
difícil em jogo livre. Em sentido inverso, os bebés que
em jogo livre são menos participativos apresentam menores
índices de reactividade negativa quando a mãe mantém
a cara inexpressiva. Em termos diádicos, verificamos
que existe uma forte correlação entre o comportamento
cooperativo do bebé e a sensibilidade materna em jogo
livre. Os resultados são discutidos no quadro do desenvolvimento
dos processos de interacção mãe e filho.
The aim of this study is to explore the relation between infants’ reactivity under stress and the quality of motherinfant interaction in free play. Our sample consisted of 40 infants with 3 months old and their mothers. Infants’ reactivity under stress was assessed during Tronick’s Face-to-Face Still-Face paradigm. The quality of motherinfant interaction was evaluated during free play using the CARE-Index. Our results indicated that infants’ reactivity in Still-Face is not independent from infants’ behavior in free play. Thus, more reactive infants in Still-Face were more difficult with their mothers in free play. In turn, more passive infants in free play were less likely than other infants to present negative responses in Still-Face. Mothers’ sensitivity and infants’ cooperative behavior in free play was highly correlated. Our findings will be discussed in the light of mother-infant relational approaches.
