Abstract

The relationship between parental risk condition and parents' sensitivity to infants' cues was measured in one father-infant and 59 mother-infant dyads. Parents were videotaped at home, playing with their infants. Systematic differences in interactional patterns were found across six parental risk groups--neglectful, abusing, mentally retarded, low-income, deaf, and middle class (non-risk) parents. Sources of differences are discussed and implications for intervention strategies are offered.
