Ouderlijke invloeden: Een onderzoek naar de rol van kind temperament, zelfvertrouwen rondom de opvoeding en het mentaal welzijn van de ouders op sensitiviteit van ouders.

Sensitivity involves understanding the child's signals and responding to them promptly and appropriately (IJzendoorn, 2019). A sensitive and responsive parent provides comfort and security to the child when needed (Bowlby, 1969). Various factors may play a role in parental sensitivity. This correlational study examined whether factors such as child temperament, parenting self-confidence, and parental mental well-being contribute to the degree of parental sensitivity.

The results showed that child temperament, parenting self-confidence, and parental mental well-being did not determine the degree of parental sensitivity.

Sensitivity can be enhanced through appropriate support of the parents, leading to more sensitive responses to the child.Show less
