The experience of touch is critical for early communication and social interaction; infants who show aversion to touch may be at risk for atypical development and behavior problems. The current study aimed to clarify predictive associations between infant responses to...

We examined whether positive child-, parent-, and family-level characteristics were associated with harsh parenting in families with 9-month-olds (N = 561). We were particularly interested in examining evocative gene-environment correlation (rGE) by testing the effect...

Background: Mothers’ stress in pregnancy is considered an environmental risk factor in child development. Multiple stressors may combine to increase risk, and maternal personal characteristics may offset the effects of stress. This study aimed to test the effect of...
