Parental Behaviors Beyond Attachment

Of course, there are other aspects of close relationships that influence the development of differences in personality that are not related to attachment processes. We consider some of these now.

Biobehavioral Synchronization

The concept of biobehavioral synchronization takes the behavioral reciprocity that we see in the mutually responsive orientation (described above) to the physiological level. Feldman (2012) has shown that brains of parents and infants transform to integrate the other as an interaction partner. The process of interactional synchrony starts during pregnancy. Interactional synchrony is the dance of mutually rewarding, turn‐taking interaction. Over the course of the first year of life, as parent–infant synchrony gets established, such synchrony becomes more closely interconnected with physiological and behavioral stress regulation systems. For instance, parent–infant emotional synchronization promotes the coordination of heart rhythms between the parent and infant (Feldman, Magori‐Cohen, Galili, Singer, & Louzoun, 2011) and affiliative hormones such as oxytocin (Feldman, Gordon, & Zagoory‐Sharon, 2011), demonstrating important links between the neurobiological underpinnings of bonding and parent–infant synchrony. Parental contingent coordination serves as an external regulator for infants' developing regulatory capacities, which, over time, transforms into child self‐regulation.
