Infant Distress From the Still-Face and its Association With Increased Problem Solving: Implications for Early Resilience
Results show that infant negative affect may reflect their capacity for problem-solving and that bolstering social support for perinatal women may enhance their infants' problem-solving abilities. Findings highlight that children's negative affect in stressful situations, such as the FFSF context, may serve as a coping mechanism and offer new insights into the intergenerational transmission of resilience.
