Reward Responsivity in Parenting: Development of a Novel Measure in Mothers of Young Children.
J Psychopathol Behav Assess
September 2018
The purpose of the current study was to develop and evaluate a measure of maternal reward responsivity in parenting. Deficits in reward responsivity, a common feature of depression, may contribute to maladaptive parenting behaviors. Reward responsivity is an individual difference in reactivity to pleasurable stimuli and represents a key motivational component that could contribute to the frequency and quality of mothers' interactions with their infants.

- Adolescents with ADHD have a higher risk for depression, prompting the development of the BEAM program, which aims to prevent depressive symptoms by focusing on factors like emotion regulation and family support.
- The program involved eight adolescents and their parents, who reported high satisfaction and staff found it easy to implement.
- Results showed significant reductions in depressive symptoms and improvements in emotion regulation and reward responsivity, indicating that BEAM may effectively help adolescents with ADHD despite limitations like a small sample size and no control group.
Objective: To examine the effect of preterm birth on maternal postpartum depressive symptoms and infant negative affect in an underrepresented minority sample.
Method: Participants were 102 mothers and their 3- to 10-month-old infants. Mothers completed the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the Infant Behavior Questionnaire-Revised.
Background: Although a number of studies have examined the factor structure of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) in predominately White or African American samples, no published research has reported on the factor structure among Hispanic women who reside in the United States.
Objective: The current study examined the factor structure of the EPDS among Hispanic mothers in the United States.
Method: Among 220 Hispanic women, drawn from a pediatric primary care setting, with an infant aged 0 to 10 months, 6 structural models guided by the empirical literature were evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis.
