What can a brief rating of bonding capture during a baby's first year?
Testing a translated bonding instrument shows why the wording and structure of a scale matter before its scores are interpreted.
Who was studied?
Greek mothers who completed measures of bonding and depressive symptoms
Age / stage: Birth to 12 months
Read with three questions
- What can a brief rating of bonding capture during a baby's first year?
- What evidence supports the reliability and validity of the measure for these particular respondents?
- Which features of the study population (greek mothers who completed measures of bonding and depressive symptoms) would matter when applying the findings in another setting?
Keep the limits in view
The Greek scale was evaluated in mothers with infants aged up to one year. Evidence for this translation does not establish that the same cutoffs or item meanings work for fathers or older children.
