dc.description.abstractInfants born preterm are at elevated risk for socioemotional difficulties; however, factors contributing to this risk are largely understudied. Within the present study, we explored infant sleep as a biosocial factor that may play a role in infant socioemotional development. Within a prospective longitudinal design, we examined parent‐reported sleep patterns and observed parenting quality as predictors of infant–mother attachment in 171 infants born preterm. Using structural equation modeling, we examined main effect and moderator models linking infant sleep patterns and parenting with attachment security. Sleep patterns characterized by more daytime sleep and positive/responsive parenting predicted infant attachment security. Parent‐reported nighttime sleep patterns were unrelated to attachment in this sample of infants born preterm. These results indicate that daytime sleep and parenting quality may be important for emerging attachment relationships in infants born preterm. Zusammenfassung Frühgeborene Säuglinge unterliegen einem erhöhten Risiko an sozioemotionalen Schwierigkeiten zu erkranken. Nichtsdestotrotz wurden Faktoren, die zu diesem Risiko beitragen bislang weitgehend vernachlässigt. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Studie wurde das Schlafverrhalten des Säuglings als biosozialer Faktor untersucht, der in der sozioemotionalen Entwicklung von Säuglingen eine Rolle spielen könnte. Innerhalb eines prospektiven longitudinalen Designs, untersuchten wir die von Eltern berichteten Schlafmuster sowie beobachtete Erziehungsqualität als Prädiktoren der Bindung zwischen Mutter und Säugling in 171 frühgeborenen Säuglingen. Unter Verwendung eines Strukturgleichungsmodells prüften wir Haupteffekt‐ und Moderatormodelle, die die Schlafmuster des Säuglings mit Erziehungsverhalten der Eltern und Bindungssicherheit koppelten. Schlafmuster, die durch vermehrten Tagesschlaf gekennzeichnet waren und positives/ responsives Erziehungsverhalten sagten größere Bindungssicherheit des Säuglings vorher. Von Eltern berichtete nächtliche Schlafmuster standen in keiner Beziehung zur Bindungssicherheit der Stichprobe von frühgeborenen Säuglingen. Diese Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass Tagesschlaf und elterliche Erziehungsqualität bedeutsam für die aufkeimenden Bindungsbeziehungen von frühgeborenen Säuglingen sind. Resumen Los infantes nacidos prematuramente se encuentran bajo un elevado riesgo de dificultades emocionales sociales. Sin embargo, los factores que contribuyen a este riesgo no han sido estudiados suficientemente. Dentro del presente estudio, exploramos el hábito de dormir del infante como un factor bio‐social que pudiera jugar un papel en el desarrollo emocional social del infante. Dentro de un probable diseño longitudinal, examinamos los patrones de dormir reportados por la madre y observamos la calidad de la crianza como factores de predicción de la afectividad entre madre e infante en 171 infantes nacidos prematuramente. Usando un modelo de ecuación estructural, examinamos modelos de efecto principal y moderadores que conectaban los patrones de dormir del infante y la crianza con la seguridad de afectividad. Los patrones caracterizados por más tiempo diurno de dormir y una crianza positiva/sensible predijeron la seguridad de afectividad del infante. Los patrones de dormir nocturnos reportados por la madre no tuvieron relación con la afectividad en este grupo muestra de infantes nacidos prematuramente. Estos resultados indican que los hábitos de dormir diurnos y la calidad de la crianza pudieran ser importantes para las nacientes relaciones afectivas en infantes nacidos prematuramente. Résumé Les bébés nés avant terme sont à un risque élevé de difficultés socio‐émotionnelles. Cependant les facteurs contribuant à ce risque sont grandement sous‐étudiés. Nous avons exploré dans cette étude le sommeil du bébé en tant qu’un facteur biosocial qui peut jouer un rôle dans le développement socio‐émotionnel du bébé. Au sein d’une structure longitudinale potentielle nous avons examiné les patterns de sommeil bébé‐mère et observé la qualité du parentage en tant que facteur de prédiction de l’attachement bébé‐mère chez 171 bébés nés prématurés. En utilisant un modèle structurel d’équation nous avons examiné l’effet principal et les modèles modérateurs principaux liant les patterns de sommeil du bébé et le parentage avec une sécurité d’attachement. Les patterns de sommeil caractérisés par plus de sommeil durant la journée et un parentage positif/réceptif ont prédit la sécurité d’attachement du bébé. Les patterns de sommeil dont ont fait état les parents n’étaient pas liés à l’attachement chez cet échantillon de bébés nés avant terme. Ces résultats indiquent que le sommeil dans la journée et la qualité de parentage peuvent s’avérer importants pour les relations d’attachement émergentes chez les bébés nés avant terme.en_US
