L I Garrity, B Weisman

    Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, and Allied Disciplines
    |April 1, 1982

    Summary

    Premature infants showed different coping behaviors than full-term infants at 18 months old, resting more and smiling more. However, premature infants were less likely to complete the challenging task.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Psychology
    • Pediatrics
    • Child Development

    Background:

    • Premature infants often exhibit developmental differences compared to full-term infants.
    • Assessing coping mechanisms in early childhood is crucial for understanding developmental trajectories.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the coping abilities of premature and full-term infants at 12 and 18 months.
    • To investigate behavioral responses in a challenging situation.

    Main Methods:

    • An experimental barrier task involving removing obstacles to reach a goal was used.
    • Participants included 12- and 18-month-old premature and full-term children.
    • Coping behaviors such as resting and smiling were observed.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • At 12 months, the task was too difficult for all infants, showing no term differences.
    • At 18 months, premature infants rested more and smiled more than full-term infants.
    • Only 4 out of 17 children who completed the task were premature.

    Conclusions:

    • Coping abilities and behavioral responses differ between premature and full-term infants by 18 months.
    • Premature infants may exhibit distinct behavioral patterns in challenging situations.
    • Task difficulty significantly impacts the assessment of coping abilities in young children.
