so glad you enjoyed it! I really enjoyed the conference!

Infant response speeds seem to reflect broader cultural preferences about emotion expressiveness in Uganda and UK
Our results highlight the importance of sociocultural contexts for shaping maternal caregiving and how these relate to infant emotional development. 5/6

We think this reflect the effectiveness of their response strategy. Ugandan mothers used more breastfeeding and tactile comfort at both 3m and 6m, while UK mothers switched to more verbal and engagement strategies as their infants grew. 4/6

Across both sites, faster maternal responsiveness was associated with faster infant recovery from distress, suggesting that prompt maternal intervention facilitates regulation.
Although UK mothers were quicker to respond, Ugandan infants actually recovered faster 3/6

How mothers respond to infants’ emotional cues is key in shaping socio-emotional development However, research outside Western contexts is limited.

We compared how mothers responded to naturally-occurring infant distress in rural Uganda and suburban UK at 3m and 6m. 2/6

Changes in facial skin temperature are measured using thermal imaging, which can help scientists better understand underlying emotional states.

aw, that is a pity- and thanks very much for explaining- that's great that the effort had been made in the planning though!
