Objective:

Despite recent progress on breastfeeding indicators in the U.S., breastfeeding remains stigmatized in certain contexts; for example, breastfeeding beyond infancy and breastfeeding in public. The purpose of this study was to assess and identify correlates of attitudes toward breastfeeding in social settings and breastfeeding beyond infancy among U.S. mothers.

Method:

In this cross-sectional study, a nationwide sample of U.S. mothers of children between the ages of 1 and 4 years (N=881) completed an online survey. We used multivariable logistic regression to assess associations between sociodemographic and infant feeding intention variables and odds of: 1) low support for breastfeeding in social settings, 2) agreeing it is appropriate to breastfeed a 1-to-2-year-old toddler, and 3) agreeing it is appropriate to breastfeed a 2-to-4-year-old child.

Results:

Intention to exclusively formula-feed was associated with low support for breastfeeding in social settings (OR=1.89, 95% CI [1.23, 2.89]) and reduced odds of agreeing it is appropriate to breastfeed a 1-to-2-year-old toddler (OR= 0.32, 95% CI [0.21, 0.50) or 2-to-4-year-old child (OR=0.35, 95% CI [0.20, 0.61). Non-Hispanic Black (NHB) and Hispanic race/ethnicity were associated with increased odds of low support for breastfeeding in social settings (OR=2.20, 95% CI [1.39, 3.47 and OR=1.58, 95% CI [1.05-2.38], respectively). However, Hispanic ethnicity was associated with increased support for breastfeeding a 2-to-4-year old child (OR=1.64, 95% CI [1.07-2.50]).

Conclusions:

There are opportunities to shift attitudes toward breastfeeding in public and breastfeeding beyond infancy. Future research should investigate the directionality of the relationship between these attitudes and infant feeding intentions.

Attitudes

Attitudes

Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Socioemotional Development during Infancy

Socioemotional Development during Infancy

Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy. By examining temperament, researchers can better understand an infant's unique ways of interacting with the world, influencing subsequent personality and socio-emotional growth.

Social Proof

Social proof is a form of persuasion based on comparison and conformity. People compare their behavior and actions to what others are doing and will change to conform to do what their peers do.

Social Scripts

People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...

Social Traps

Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...
