Abstract
Child behavioral difficulties benefit from early intervention, yet current research lacks analysis of strength-based factors, particularly within high-risk samples from marginalized communities. Towards this end, this secondary data analysis examined the moderating effect of maternal emotion talk on infant behavior outcomes after completing a home-based adaptation of Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), coined the Infant Behavior Program (IBP). Participants were fifty-eight mother-infant dyads (53% male, mage =14.45 months, and 91% Hispanic or Latine) randomly assigned to either receive IBP or standard pediatric care. Maternal emotion talk significantly moderated outcomes, such that the effect of IBP, compared to standard pediatric care, on infant externalizing and dysregulation scores was stronger among mothers with higher baseline levels of emotion talk. Findings support maternal emotion talk as a strength-based predictor of treatment response and can be used to inform future prevention and intervention efforts from a strengths-based perspective.
Objective: This study examined the moderated moderation effects of maternal interactional-effectiveness (MIE) and parenting sense of competence (PSC) in the relationship between infants’ negative emotionality and regulatory behavior. Given that infants with difficult temperaments are more strongly shaped by their careg...

This study leverages a randomized clinical trial to test whether intervention-related changes in cognitive and socioemotional parenting behaviors during mother-child reminiscing support children's self-regulation (emotion regulation [ER] and executive function [EF]) in middle childhood among families with and without m...
BACKGROUND
Many autistic preschoolers experience heightened emotion dysregulation and rely heavily on parents for co-regulatory support, which may be compromised by elevated parenting stress.
METHODS
We examined secondary outcomes of a randomized trial (ClinicalTrials.gov - NCT03459625) to assess downstream effects o...

Theory and research highlight the role of maternal emotion socialization in the development of emotion dysregulation and associated psychopathology in offspring. This study described and quantified emotion socialization dynamics (i.e., mutual negativity and positivity) between mothers and their preschool-aged children,...
