註釋 The aim of the present study is to explore coping in infancy, with respect to parenting behavior and to its potential consequences in behavioral development in early childhood. Coping has been widely considered as an individual's adaptive response to environmental demands, necessary for everyday functioning and survival. Although the ways in which adults cope with small and large challenges in life have been much studied for their consequences in psychological health, presently there is only a small body of literature on coping in infancy, and little is known about how coping is established and how it relates to behavior development in early childhood.
