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, 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. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The trajectory of postpartum maternal sensitivity: A longitudinal study with a sample of Ecuadorian mothers Trayectoria de la sensibilidad materna durante el primer año posparto: Un estudio longitudinal con una muestra de madres ecuatorianas(Asoc. Espanola de Psicologia Clinica y Psicopatologia, 2026-01-01)Objective: To examine the trajectory of maternal sensitivity during the first postpartum year and its association with maternal age, relationship satisfaction, and depressive symptoms. Method: Sixty first-time mothers from Quito, Ecuador, were assessed during the third trimester of pregnancy and at 3, 9, and 12 months postpartum. Maternal sensitivity was evaluated through observational coding (ADS–Sens), and depressive symptoms (EPDS) and relationship satisfaction (RAS) were measured using self-report scales. A latent growth model was estimated. Results: A small but statistically significant linear increase in maternal sensitivity was observed. Maternal age was associated with a more attenuated increase over time, and relationship satisfaction predicted sensitivity in early postpartum months. Depressive symptoms were not significantly associated with the trajectory. Conclusions: Maternal age and relationship satisfaction were linked to changes in sensitivity, underscoring the role of relational and sociodemographic factors in early maternal adjustment. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Intervención con video-feedback (VIPP-SD) para fomentar la sensibilidad materna en un contexto peruano de vulnerabilidad socioeconómica(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-12-12)This study aims to describe clinical aspects that favored the efficacy of the 'Video-feedback intervention to promote positive parenting and sensitive discipline' (VIPP-SD) in a low SES dyad from Lima-Perú. The dyad consisted of a 37-year-old mother and her 17-month-old child living in a high-risk context. The intervention’s results on maternal sensitivity were measured using the Maternal Behaviour Q-Set 3.1. The mother went from a sensitivity score of -.53 before the intervention to .78 after it. This change’s statistical significance and clinical relevance was confirmed using the RCI indicator and the analysis of therapeutic change indicators proposed by Krause et al. (2006). The strategies used to strengthen the therapeutic alliance and maintain maternal commitment to the intervention are discussed.1
