Identifying key features of early stressful experiences that produce stress vulnerability and resilience in primates
2011, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsCitation Excerpt :In contrast, infants reared by more protective mothers appear to be delayed in the acquisition of their independence and are relatively fearful and cautious when faced with challenging situations (Fairbanks and McGuire, 1988, 1993). Although these findings may be the result of inherited temperamental similarities between mothers and offspring, similar findings were also obtained in studies in which maternal protectiveness was experimentally enhanced through manipulations of the environment (Fairbanks and McGuire, 1987; Vochteloo et al., 1993). For example, Fairbanks and McGuire (1987) showed that following the introduction of new males, vervet monkey mothers became more protective of their infants, presumably because of the increased risk of infanticide, or male aggression, or simply the social instability resulting from this manipulation.
Mother-infant interactions in free-ranging rhesus macaques: Relationships between physiological and behavioral variables
2009, Physiology and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :For example, infants reared by highly rejecting (or less responsive) mothers generally develop independence at an earlier age (e.g. spend more time out of contact with their mothers, explore the environment more, and play more with their peers) than infants reared by mothers with low rejection levels [11–14]. In contrast, infants reared by more protective mothers tend to be delayed in the acquisition of their independence and are relatively fearful and cautious when faced with challenging situations [15–18]. Effects of mothering style on offspring behavior extend into adulthood [16,17,19–24].
