SLIDE 1-2: RONJA A focus on infants’ parents: Gender Differences in Emotional Expressivity and Self-Regulation During Early Infancy
Dear audience! The title of our presentation is „Gender Differences in Emotional Expressivity and Self-Regulation During Early Infancy”. We would like to talk about our research plan with included important information about our survey.
SLIDE 2: RONJA A lot of scientific publication has measured the gender differences in these studies during Early Infancy. Maccoby and Jacklin found a few gender differences before the age of 2 years in 1974. The self-regulation and emotional expressivity are affected by
Maternal expressive behaviour
Coordination such as matching, rate of change and synchrony
Infant expressive behaviour

Mean degree of reliability is 95% of the used test.
SLIDE 15: RONJA: Our resarch question was when the gender differences in emotional expressivity start. Near the natal age or later?
Our hypotheses are:
The capacity for self-regulation may be at the base of gender differences in infant emotional expressivity.
Males have a more limited capacity for self-regulation than girls.
Females show more interest and object exploration than male infants.
These gender differences in emotional expressivity and self regulation affect the regulatory demands of mothers and her child.
The gender differences start very early in the infant’s life.
SLIDE 16: RONJA: The parental feedback is important both for male and female infants. Greater parental feedback in order to help increase the baby’s emotional expressivity.
Where his/her parent takes greater attention for baby’s feedback during regulation, the infants would be calm.
Girls emotional expressivity is stronger than boys.
When the baby has been in an unstressed environment, it increases his/her concentrate ability.
