Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The quality of the parent-child interaction will be rated from videotapes recorded during a free play situation and a changing diaper situation at home. Four (5 or 9-point rating scales (Emotional Availability Scales; Biringen, Robinson, & Emde, 1998) will be used to rate parental sensitivity/availability and hostility and two 9-point rating scales to rate infant involvement and responsiveness. In earlier studies of one of the applicants these scales have proven to be valid (van Bakel & Riksen Walraven, 2004) and stable across the first years of life. Even in a community-based sample of one-year-olds, individual differences in parental hostile behaviour can be adequately observed (Van Bakel & Riksen-Walraven, 2002a). The Still Face Procedure (Tronick e.a., 1978) is a standardised 6 minutes procedure (consisting of 3 phases: contact-, no-contact, and repair phase). During this procedure the contact between parent and infant is observed (neutral, positive or negative behaviour). The procedure offers the posibility to observe the behavior of both partners. The development of children is assessed by their parents using the Ages and Stages questionnaires. The Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ en ASQ:SE; Bricker & Squires, 1999; Squires, Bricker & Twombly, 2002) are screeningsinstruments to assess the development of young children in the domains of communication, selfregulation, adaptive behavior, affect, and social skills. The parents are interviewed on their internal representation of the relationship with their child, according to the Working Model of the Child Interview (WMCI; Benoit et al. 1997). This interview will be conducted during pregancy and 4 months after birth. BRIEF-P (Gioia et al., 2001) BITSEA ECBQ At age 5 the SDQ (behavior problems), CBQ (behavio characteristics), NOSI (parenting stress), en MPAS/PRISM (parent-child bond) will be assessed.	—
