Abstract
R. DE SCHEJTMAN, Clara and VARDY, Inés. Dyadic Affective Regulation And Infant Affective Self Regulation In The First Year Of Life. Anu. investig. [online]. 2008, vol.15. ISSN 1851-1686.
The present paper deals with the concept of Affective Regulation, starting from a philosophical perspective, continuing with the Freudian and other psychoanalytic approaches and ending with the contributions of new research on early interactions with empirical observational methodology. The paper highlights the relation between parental functioning and the transition from dyadic affective regulation to infant's self regulation during the first year of life. The research design UBACyT P 806 is presented: 48 mothers between 19 and 39 years old and their healthy babies, between 23 and 31 weeks were videotaped in a three minutes face-to-face interaction. Infant's self regulation was evaluated, microanalysing the interaction using the ICEP Scale (Infant and Caregiver Engagement Phases) (Tronick y Weinberg, 2000). Results are presented and a discussion about the influence on psychic structure of the relationship between self regulation and autoerotism is formulated.
