3. Résumé
This article tests the use of the 25 items version of the maternal behavior Q-set (MBQS) on 40 adolescent mother-infant dyads. « The MBQS is a home observation-based description of maternal interactive behavior founded on the q-sorting technique, described by Block (1961) and Waters and Deane (1985). As with most coding schemes, items focus on the contingent, coherent and warm responses of parents to infant behaviors and signals, as they occur during a 2- or 3-h home visit. » (p. 133) Result shows that the MBQS is a « [...] short, reliable and valid measure of maternal behavior, intended for use with video-taped play sequences and drawn from a home-observation derived assessment. » (p. 134)
