Abstract

ALVAREZ-LORENZO, Miriam; RODRIGO-LOPEZ, María José  and  RODRIGUEZ-SUAREZ, Guacimara. Predictors of an Efficient Interaction between Mother and Child in Psychosocial Risk. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2017, vol.16, n.1, pp.198-207. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy16-1.piem.

This study investigates the influence of the practices, goals, maternal representation of their action and the child's readability of practices and goals on the mother-child interaction observed during a collaborative task. The participants were 82 dyads at psychosocial risk. The mothers reported their practices and goals in hypothetical situations and the representation of their actions in the interaction. Children reported the readability of mothers’ practices and goals. The regression models showed the negative influence of the coercitive and restrictive practices, the positive influence of the maternal representation of their child-rearing actions and the child’s readability of the practices and goals on the dynamic of the mother-child interaction.

Keywords : readability of practices and goals; representation of child-rearing practices; psychosocial risk; mother-child interaction.
