Psychology Presentations
This study tested two models for the indirect influence of mothers’ early adversity on maternal sensitivity:
Model A:
- Mothers’ appraisal of infant temperament was hypothesized to mediate the influence of mothers’ early adversity and depression on maternal sensitivity
- There would be no direct influence of maternal depression
Model B:
- Mothers’ depression was hypothesized to have a direct influence on maternal sensitivity
- Mothers’ perception of infant temperament would not mediate the influence of maternal depression on maternal sensitivity
