Publication Type: Individual Poster Abstract: Background: The current study examines physiological development of emotion regulation, specifically focusing on the interpersonal nature of the development of affective regulation between the mother and infant. The process of developing regulatory skills is interactive between the infant and the parent and may depend on the coordination of both participants. While behavioral synchrony, in early emotional development has been widely studied, less is known about the physiological antecedents of infant-mother attunement. This study focuses on the manner in which mother and infant coordinate their physiological regulatory systems, which may underlie the process of behavioral attunement. Methods: Six-month-old infants and their mothers participated in an interaction designed to elicit emotional response from both participants. Mothers were instructed to play with their infants for two minutes during the “play” interaction. Next, during the “arm restraint” interaction, mothers were instructed to hold the infant’s hands gently at their sides for one minute. When the infants’ arms were released, the pair participated in a “recovery” session, where mothers soothed their infants for two-minutes. RSA data was recorded during baseline and all parts of the procedure for both the mother and infant. Results: Mother and infant pairs with both members showing moderate to high levels of RSA withdrawal during play were determined to be “synchronous”. If one or both members of the pair showed little or no RSA withdrawal, the pair was determined to be “asynchronous”. As expected, a one-way ANOVA indicated that synchronous pairs were better able to withdraw RSA during recovery, F(1,34)=4.79,p<.05 for infants, and F(1,34)=6.40,p<.05 for mothers. To partially explain the variance within groups and to further probe the relationship between synchrony and regulation, we conducted a series of 2-way ANOVAs adding the variables of ethnicity and sex of the child. Analyses revealed significant interactions, indicating that variances in race, F(1,30)=5.86,p<.05 for the child, and sex of the child, F(1,32)=4.79,p<.05 for the mothers, may moderate the relationship between attuned physiological synchrony and regulation of emotion. Discussion: Infants who experience synchrony with their mothers may be better able to modify their arousal during stress because they have learned to control their level of stimulation during play. It also seems that mothers who share physiological synchrony with their infant during play may be better able to regulate during their infant’s distress. This study also hints at possible variance due to ethnicity and sex of the child, which future research can address in greater detail.
