Abstract

This study examines the relationship between infant temperament and parent physiological reactivity to a infant smiling and crying stimuli tape during pregnancy. The data for this study came from a larger longitudinal study examining newlywed couples and the transition to parenthood. The current investigation examined 23 married couples who took part in both pregnancy and post birth measures. Couples came into the laboratory when each wife was approximately 6 months pregnant and again when their infant was 3-6 months old. At the prenatal visit, ECG and finger pulse transit time were measured during a baseline condition and a condition in which couples watched a tape with a smiling or crying baby. The Infant Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ; Rothbart, 1978) was administered to appraise the parents’ assessments of their infant’s temperament. Results revealed several measures of parent physiology, in response to infant signals, during pregnancy predicted parent report of infant temperament. Specifically, physiological responses indicating father relaxation were related to positive indexes of infant temperament, and physiological data indicating mother’s arousal in response to the smiling baby stimuli predicted later infant distress.
