    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Psychology
    • Perinatal Medicine
    • Infant Behavior

    Background:

    • Infant temperament research often focuses on single prenatal/perinatal factors.
    • Limited understanding of combined influences on infant variability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Examine multiple prenatal and perinatal factors' impact on infant outcomes.
    • Utilize a conceptual system of hypothetical models for influence.

    Main Methods:

    • Recruited 75 couples in their last trimester of pregnancy.
    • Collected demographic, pregnancy experience, and parenting expectation data.
    • Obtained childbirth information and measured infant behaviors using the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) at three days old.

    Main Results:

    • Parental characteristics (age, socioeconomic status) correlated with pregnancy satisfaction and parenting confidence.
    • Path analysis and partial correlation revealed parental characteristics, pregnancy orientation, and obstetric anesthesia use as significant sources of infant behaviors.
    • Demonstrated intercorrelation among antecedent variables.

    Conclusions:

    • Infant behavior is influenced by a complex interplay of parental and perinatal factors.
    • Avoid inferring single causal pathways for parental or perinatal influences on infant temperament.
    • Emphasizes the multifactorial nature of infant behavioral development.
