Risk factors for infant abuse and neglect in group-living rhesus monkeys

Article Abstract:

Research was conducted to examine infant abuse and neglect among rhesus monkeys living in groups at the Field Station of the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center of Emory University. Data studied spanned 29 years from 1967 to 1996. Results indicate that 0.4% of infants risked being neglected while 1.5% of infants were at risk of maternal abuse. Findings agree with other researches conducted on rhesus families which indicated that genetic relatedness to other abusive individuals is a critical risk factor for abuse.

Beyond fathering behaviors: types of dads

Article Abstract:

Fathers are classified as caretakers, playmate-teachers, disciplinarians and disengaged fathers, according to their behavior with toddler sons. Caretaker and playmate-teacher fathers are more progressive and educated and less neurotic than disciplinarians and disengaged fathers. They hold prestigious occupations and have confidence in the dependability of others. Traditional fathers, who are disciplinarians and uninvolved, show emotional unstability and ineffective coping responses.

Infant attachment security and affective-cognitive information processing at age 3

Article Abstract:

Children experience the same objective experiences differently due to differences in their attachment histories. Children with insecure attachment histories remember negative events better than the positive ones and the reverse is true for children with secure attachment histories. This difference is not due to individual differences in infant temperament-emotionality. This confirms Bowlby's theory of attachment and the internal-working-model construct of the theory.
