Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Maternal self-esteem can be viewed as a psychological final common pathway mediating the effects of the biosocial factors that influence a woman's adaptation to motherhood. Such factors include variations in the infant's and the mother's health, the sex of the infant, demographics, separation at birth, delivery route, social support, and other circumstances. By modifying the mother's self-esteem these factors modify the quality of the mother's behavior with her infant. For example, a mother with low self-esteem is expected to be less facilitative and more disruptive of the infant's goals for maintaining homeostatic regulation and engagement with the external environment. This quality of her behavior is thus more likely to compromise her infant's development. Unfortunately, there exists no standard or comprehensive instrument for assessing maternal self-esteem and there are only a few, mostly clinical, studies that have evaluated the factors that affect it. Our purpose was to develop and validate such an instrument, the Maternal Self-Report Inventory (MSI), and to assess some of the factors that affect it. (Extract of the publication)
