Up Close and Personal Research Foundations
Strengthening the parent-child relationship
- Social-emotional consequences of
response-contingent learning opportunities
Carl J. Dunst, Ph.D.
Bridges, Volume 1, Number 4
Findings from this synthesis indicate that response-contingent learning opportunities,
where the relationship between a child's behavior and the consequences of this behavior
is clearly detectable, produce the greatest amount of positive social responding and
attenuate negative social responding. Implications for practice are described in terms
of the environmental arrangements most likely to optimize the positive social-emotional
consequences of response-contingent learning opportunities.

Relationship between parental contingent-responsiveness and attachment outcomes
Danielle Z. Kassow, Ph.D., & Carl J. Dunst, Ph.D.
Bridges, Volume 2, Number 4
Findings from this synthesis indicate a discernable relationship between parental contingent-responsiveness and attachment outcomes for young children. The results suggest that early parental-contingent responsiveness is an important determinant of later secure child attachment.
Heart to heart: The strength of the relationship between an adult caregiver and a young child is affected by the adult's responsiveness

Characteristics of interventions promoting
parental sensitivity to child behavior
Carl J. Dunst, Ph.D., & Danielle Z. Kassow, Ph.D.
Bridges, Volume 2, Number 5
Findings from this synthesis show that behaviorally based interventions that specifically target improvements or changes in parental sensitivity were most effective and that optimal benefits were realized with relatively few intervention sessions. Implications for developing and implementing intervention practices for strengthening the parent/child relationship are described.
Sense and sensitivity: Research indicates best
ways to boost parental sensitivity to child behavior

Characteristics of parental
sensitivity related to secure infant attachment
Danielle Z. Kassow, Ph.D., & Carl J. Dunst, Ph.D.
Bridges, Volume 3, Number 2
Findings from this synthesis identified the characteristics of parental interactive behavior that contributed most to
strengthening the parent/child relationship. Parent/child turn taking and parent support and encouragement were found
to be especially important parenting behaviors.
