Parents Mimic and Influence Their Infant's Autonomic State through Dynamic Affective State Matching.
Sam V. Wass,Celia Grace Smith,Kaili Clackson,Caitlin Gibb,Joan Eitzenberger,Farhan Umar Mirza +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that infant-parent autonomic activity did not covary across the day-but that "high points" of infant arousal led to autonomic changes in the parent and that instances where the adult showed greater autonomic responsivity were associated with faster infant quieting.

Anxious parents show higher physiological synchrony with their infants.
Celia Grace Smith,Emily J.H. Jones,Tony Charman,Kaili Clackson,Farhan Umar Mirza,Sam V. Wass +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, moment-to-moment fluctuations in arousal within parent-infant dyads using miniaturized microphones and autonomic monitors were investigated, and the results indicated that physiological synchrony across the day was stronger in dyads including more rather than less anxious mothers.
The effect of perinatal interventions on parent anxiety, infant socio‐emotional development and parent‐infant relationship outcomes: A systematic review
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the efficacy of perinatal interventions on parent anxiety, infant socio-emotional development/temperament, and parent-infant relationship outcomes.

In infancy, it's the extremes of arousal that are 'sticky': Naturalistic data challenge purely homeostatic approaches to studying self-regulation.
TL;DR: It is argued that future research should also use naturalistic data to study the mechanisms through which states can be maintained or amplified over time, and that both low- and high-arousal states were more persistent than intermediate arousal states.

Infant Effortful Control Mediates Relations Between Nondirective Parenting and Internalising-Related Child Behaviours in an Autism-Enriched Infant Cohort.
Celia Grace Smith,Emily J.H. Jones,Sam V. Wass,Greg Pasco,Mark H. Johnson,Mark H. Johnson,Tony Charman,Ming Wai Wan +7 more
TL;DR: The potential for parenting to strengthen protective factors against internalising in infants from an ASD-enriched cohort is discussed and mediation analyses suggest nondirective parenting was related to fewer internalising problems through an increase in effortful control.
