Item type:Publication, MBPQS in Ecuador: Exploring its content validity for its application with caregivers of children with ASD(Universidad Catolica del Uruguay, 2020-01-01)El objetivo del presente estudio fue explorar la validez de contenido del Maternal Behavior for Preschoolers Q-set (MBPQS) para su aplicación en figuras cuidadoras de preescolares con trastorno del espectro autista (TEA), residentes en Ecuador. Con este propósito, se realizó una adaptación lingüística del instrumento al contexto ecuatoriano, la cual fue evaluada por tres profesionales en las áreas de Psicología, Educación Inicial y Lingüística. Con el MBPQS adaptado, 10 figuras cuidadoras ecuatorianas construyeron un perfil prototípico de cuidadores idealmente sensibles de preescolares de desarrollo típico, y 10 profesionales expertos en autismo elaboraron un perfil prototípico de figuras cuidadoras idealmente sensibles de niños con TEA. Los perfiles construidos por los dos grupos fueron comparados entre sí y con el criterio normativo del instrumento. Los resultados evidencian la validez del MBPQS para evaluar la sensibilidad de figuras cuidadoras de niños con TEA. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Maternal sensitivity in rural Andean and Amazonian Peru(Taylor & Francis, 2020-10-14)In the current study, we observed 12 mothers with a 4-21-month-old infant for around 3 hours during their daily activities such as feeding, bathing, and soothing in the multiple-caregiver cultural contexts of rural Peru. Overall, sensitivity levels were high, with an average of 7.33 (out of 9), and seven of the twelve mothers scoring in the high range (scores 7-9), and the remaining five in the good-enough range (scores 5-6). A qualitative description of sensitive responsiveness is presented through representative examples. Notable patterns were flexibility in caregiving routines that allow for very child-centered maternal behavior; mothers' ability to multitask, combining household and agricultural work with high sensitive responsiveness to their infants' signals; the presence of multiple caregivers that ensured that the infants were well attended when mothers were temporarily unavailable; and what seems to be a culturally normative tendency to be sensitively responsive to very young children. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Convergent and criterion validity of the maternal behavior Q-Sort 3.1 in a sample of Peruvian mothers(AIDEPbgoncalves@psicologia.ulisboa.pt, 2020-01-01)The Maternal Behavior Q-Sort (MBQS) assesses the maternal sensitivity of mothers of 0-3 year-olds in natural contexts. This study presents the results of MBQS 3.1 convergent validity with version 2.1 and criterion validity with the Attachment Q-Sort (AQS). The sample was comprised of 27 Peruvian mothers with children between 8 and 11 months old, from a low socioeconomic sector in Lima. The mean age of the mothers was 27.96 years (SD=6.02) and most reported at least some high school education (63%). The maternal behavior profiles in MBQS 3.1 - sensitive, connected, and synchronic - correlated with values higher than.90 (p<.01). A strong positive association was found between versions 2.1 and 3.1 (r=.76, p<.01). Finally, a correlation of.44 (p<.05) was obtained with AQS. The MBQS 3.1 shows adequate validity indicators, which recommend its use for the measurement of maternal sensibility in Peru.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Attachment theory’s core hypotheses in rural Andean Peru(Routledge, 2022-01-01)This is the first study aiming to test two universality claims of attachment theory within a rural Andean sample from Cusco, Peru. A total of 69 mothers and their children (6 to 36 months) participated. Child attachment security was assessed with the Attachment Q-set (AQS), maternal sensitivity was measured during three naturalistic episodes (free interaction, bathing, and feeding) with the Ainsworth sensitivity scale and the Maternal Behavior Q-sort (MBQS), and a cumulative maternal risk variable was calculated. Results revealed that most children displayed less characteristic secure base behaviors in the interactions with their mothers, compared to other reference samples. Furthermore, an association between maternal sensitivity and child attachment security was found, and a negative relation between maternal sensitivity and the cumulative risk variable. These results support some of the attachment theory’s universality claims, and suggest new avenues for research on assessment issues in rural samples in the Global South. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Evaluating maternal sensitivity in rural Andean Peru: Situations and measures matter(American Psychological Association, 2024-12-30)The present study aimed to describe the level and nature of maternal sensitivity in an economically disadvantaged rural region in Peru, examining differences between measures and situations. Sixty-nine infant–mother dyads from rural Cusco, Peru, participated in this study. Maternal sensitivity was evaluated through the Ainsworth Sensitivity Scale and the Maternal BehaviorQ-Sort (MBQS; regular and short version) across three naturalistic episodes, namely, free interaction, bathing, and feeding. Almost the entire range of sensitivity levels was observed for both measures. On average, these mothers showed moderate sensitivity levels, mostly regardless of the measure and situation observed. Significant associationswere observed among the measures during episodes, ranging from moderate to high correlations, and differences between episodes were only found for the MBQS, with lower sensitivity scores during the feeding episode. In conclusion, all three situations and both measures have their strengths and weaknesses and can provide relevant information, particularly with samples rarely studied that we are just getting to know. However, basing the assessment only on the MBQS may not necessarily be the best choice. Selecting a more global sensitivity scale like the Ainsworth scale may be more pertinent for evaluating sensitivity cross-culturally, while the MBQS can facilitate understanding the relevance of specific predefined behaviors in particular contexts. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Maternal sensitivity and child attachment security in a low-SES Peruvian sample: Longitudinal relationships(Routledge, 2024-01-01)We tested the generalizability of the sensitivity-security link in a sample of 35 preschooler-mother dyads from a low socioeconomic district in Lima, Peru. We first describe maternal sensitivity and attachment security at two timepoints during early childhood. Second, we investigated the stability of attachment security and maternal sensitivity over a time span of one year. Third, we tested the association between sensitivity and security at each timepoint. Finally, we investigated whether changes in maternal sensitivity predict changes in child security. The results indicated that sensitivity and security were lower than scores reported in the literature for middle-class samples. T2 maternal sensitivity scores were significantly higher than T1 sensitivity scores, and no significant differences were found between T1 and T2 security. Sensitivity and security were associated at both timepoints, after controlling for socio-demographic variables. One-tail test indicated that changes in maternal sensitivity were associated with changes in child security.
