... The quality of mother-child interaction has been shown to be moderately stable from infancy through adolescence (Pianta, Sroufe, & Egeland, 1989;Weinfield, Ogawa, & Egeland, 2002). Greater maternal sensitivity and support are associated with better social and cognitive development in both adopted and non-adopted children (Jaffari- Bimmel, Juffer, van IJzendoorn, Bekermans-Kranenburg, & Mooijaart, 2006;Pianta, Erickson, Wagner, Kreutzer, & Egeland, 1990;Stams, Juffer, & van IJzendoorn, 2002). Maternal sensitivity has been positively linked to attachment security (Beijersbergen, Juffer, Bakermans-Kranenburg, & van IJzendoorn, 2012;Erickson, Sroufe, & Egeland, 1985;NICHD Early Child Care Research Network, 2001), and Downloaded by [NIH Library] at 05:56 10 August 2015 relationship quality has been linked to child academic functioning and behavioral adjustment from preschool through adolescence (Carlson, 1998;Lorber & Egeland, 2011;Yates, Obradovic, & Egeland, 2010). ...

... Therefore, we conceive protective factors as characteristics of a child, a family or of the relationships within the family that in interaction with other personal, familiar and contextual variables, may decrease the probability of child maltreatment or abuse (Sprague-Jones et al., 2019), or that can moderate or diminish the negative outcomes associated with risk factors (Panisch et al., 2020;Racine et al., 2020;Ridings et al., 2017). We therefore understand protective factors as a main piece in a complex process-oriented multivariate model (Pianta et al., 1989). Nevertheless, depending on the research questions and the analytic strategy, protective factors can be conceived as both main effects or mediators. ...

... In other words, a cycle of emotional hypoactivation might be at work in these neglectful dyads as a consequence of the poor maternal processing of infant signals. When the range of emotional expressions is so restricted and the risk of a "turning off" or apathy is elevated, the infant can no longer rely on his caregiver's face for social referencing and for information important to survival (Egeland & Erickson, 1987). ...

For example, during the third trimester of pregnancy (Heinicke et al., 1999;Jacobson & Frye, 1991), age start ϭ Ϫ2; during the second trimester of pregnancy (Egeland & Erickson, 1993), age start ϭ Ϫ4.

... Research into the nature of emotional maltreatment indicates that while it is present in the majority of physical abuse cases (90 percent), emotional maltreatment can also occur in the absence of other forms of maltreatment (Claussen & Crittenden, 1991;Kaplan et al., 1999). This is also the case with regards to other forms of child maltreatment: while physical neglect is often accompanied by emotional neglect, the converse is not always the case (Egeland & Erickson, 1987). As such, emotional maltreatment is regarded by many as one of the most frequent forms of maltreatment (Kaplan et al., 1999). ...

... Human infants are powerfully predisposed to form attachments with parents or other adults who care for them, but the quality of those attachments varies with the type of care the adults provide (Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters, & Wall, 1978; Erickson, as reported in Gaziano & Erickson, 2000, p. 7). As longitudinal studies document, differences in the quality of attachment in the first year of life predict differences in attitudes and behavior in subsequent stages of development from preschool to adulthood (Erickson, Sroufe & Egeland, 1985; Egeland & Erickson, 1999; Erickson, in Gaziano & Erickson, 2000; Grossman, Grossman, & Waters, 2005; Sroufe, 2005). Attachment theorists trace its roots to the 1960s and earlier ideas of Freud, and they describe how a mother's or other main caregiver's ability to perceive a child's needs and responsiveness to the child's behavior and signals are major determinants of secure attachments when children are about 12 months to 3 years of age (Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters, & Wall, 1978; de Ruiter & van IJzendoorn, 1993). ...

... Emotional abuse is an unfitting act or failure to provide a child with adequate emotional availability and non-physical nurture. Physical neglect is an intentional or unintentional omission by a caregiver accountable for the child, which results in psychological harm (Gustavsson & Segal, 1994;Erickson & Egeland, 2002). Emotional neglect is regarded as a lack of caregiver support and encouragement, mostly seen as emotional deprivation. ...
