P M Crittenden

    Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, and Allied Disciplines
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Maltreated infants showed behavioral issues due to learned patterns, not innate differences. Intervention improved infant behavior, highlighting resilience and bidirectional effects in child maltreatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Psychology
    • Child Maltreatment Studies
    • Infant Behavior Research

    Background:

    • Child maltreatment presents complex challenges in understanding its origins and maintenance.
    • Bidirectional effects models suggest reciprocal interactions between mother and infant contribute to maltreatment dynamics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the role of learned behaviors in maltreated infants.
    • To examine the bidirectional relationship between maternal maltreatment and infant behavior.
    • To assess the impact of maternal intervention on infant behavioral outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of congenital characteristics between maltreated and control infants.
    • Behavioral pattern assessment in maltreated infants.
    • Evaluation of infant behavior following maternal intervention.

    Main Results:

    • Maltreated infants did not differ from controls in congenital traits.
    • Deviant learned behavior patterns were observed in maltreated infants.
    • Infant behavior improved significantly after maternal intervention.

    Conclusions:

    • Maltreated infants are not inherently different and demonstrate resilience to environmental improvements.
    • Infant behaviors can play a role in perpetuating maternal maltreatment.
    • Intervention focused on the mother can positively impact infant behavior, supporting a bidirectional model.
