✦ Synopsis
The purpose of the present study was to examine 14-to 16-month-old infants' emotional reactivity and use of behavioral strategies for regulating distress during states of both alert wakefulness and fatigue. Twenty infants were tested at a time when their mothers expected them to be awake and alert, and twenty infants were tested at the time when their morning or afternoon nap typically began. Infants were observed responding to five mildly stressful episodes in their homes. Fatigued infants were more distressed than alert infants by separation from their mother and by being prevented from handling an attractive toy. Fatigued infants also engaged in fewer mature regulatory behaviors and more immature regulatory behaviors during the episodes. The infants' experiences with nonparental child care also were associated with their emotional reactivity. The relevance of these findings to parents and researchers and the benefits to infants of learning to handle stress when fatigued are discussed.
RE ´SUME
´: Le but de cette e ´tude e ´tait d'examiner la re ´activite ´e ´motionnelle de be ´be ´s de 14-16 mois et l'utilisation de strate ´gies de comportement pour ame ´nager le chagrin et la douleur durant des e ´tats de fatigue et d'e ´veil alerte. Vingt be ´be ´s ont e ´te ´teste ´s a un moment ou leur me re s'attendaient a ce qu'ils soient e ´veille ´s et alertes, et vingt be ´be ´s ont e ´te ´teste ´s au moment ou leur sieste du matin ou de l'apre smidi commenc ¸aient habituellement. On a observe ´les be ´be ´s re ´agissant a cinq e ´pisodes mode ´re ´ment stressants au domicile familial. Compare ´s aux be ´be ´s alertes, les be ´be ´s fatigue ´s e ´taient plus afflige ´s par la se ´paration d'avec leur me re et par le fait de ne pas e ˆtre autorise ´s a toucher ou a avoir un jouet favori. Les be ´be ´s fatigue ´s ont aussi fait e ´tat de moins de comportements re ´gulatories mu ˆrs et de plus de comportements re ´gulatoires non-mu ˆrs pendant ces e ´pisodes. Les expe ´riences des be ´be ´s avec un mode de soin nonparental e ´taient aussi lie ´es a leur re ´activite ´e ´motionnelle. Nous discutons finalement la pertinence de ces re ´sultats pour les parents et les chercheurs, ainsi que les be ´ne ´fices pour les be ´be ´s qu'il y a a apprendre a `faire face au stress lorsqu'ils sont fatigue ´s.
