Exploring the key drivers of responsive parenting in mothers and fathers – observed and self-reported responsiveness
Abstract
Background: This article explores parental responsiveness – the ability of a parent to react to a child’s needs adequately, promptly, and with tenderness and synchrony. Parental responsiveness can be measured using observational and self-report scales. The purpose of this study was to explore whether individual differences in empathy and attachment in mothers and fathers and their satisfaction with their relationship are predictors of parental responsiveness toward infants. Moreover, self-report and observational measures of parental responsiveness were compared. Participants and procedure: A total of 110 triads (mother, father, and child aged 6-10 months) took part in the free play procedure and parents’ behav-iors towards their children were assessed using the Ainsworth Sensitivity Scale. Moreover, they filled out a set of question-naires measuring parental self-reported responsiveness, empathy, experiences in close relationships and romantic relation-ship satisfaction. Results: Higher empathic concern was connected with higher responsiveness and this was seen in both individual and partner measures. At the individual level, measures of responsiveness (self-report and observational) were not congruent and proba-bly depended on other variables. In couples, there were positive correlations in three aspects of their family functioning: observed and self-reported parental responsiveness as well as relationship satisfaction. Conclusions: This study revealed differences between self-reported and observational measures of parental responsiveness, indicating that their results may not always be congruent and could depend on other variables.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
