The goal of this study is to explore possible benefits of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). The main goals of the study are: * To investigate whether pre-survey measures of autonomic reactivity relate to the overall functioning of participants. * To examine the effects of PCIT To identify individual characteristics that influence the effects of PCIT. Participants will: * complete 5 online surveys (1x pre-PCIT, 3x during PCIT, and 1x post-PCIT) * complete the PCIT program
It is the specific intent of this proposal to experimentally explore the possible benefits and mechanisms through which PCIT can influence self-reported stress and autonomic and neuroendocrine functioning in parents. This will be accomplished by our team by using well-validated self-report measures of mental health, autonomic reactivity, parental stress and attachment, and non-invasive measurements of levels of oxytocin. Specific Aim 1: To investigate whether pre-intervention measures of ANS reactivity and the neuropeptides oxytocin relate to the overall functioning of the participants. * Th…
Inclusion Criteria: * Parents of children aged 2-7 years old who are eligible for Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) based on behavioral concerns. * The primary caregiver of the child and be actively involved in the child's daily care. * Willing to attend all PCIT sessions and complete pre-, mid- and post-intervention assessments. * Fluent in English to ensure comprehension of the intervention and assessment materials. Exclusion Criteria: * Parents with diagnosed severe mental health disorders (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar disorder) that may interfere with participation in PCIT. * Chil…
Participants will undergo the standard PCIT program, which consists of two phases: Child-Directed Interaction (CDI) and Parent-Directed Interaction (PDI). * CDI Phase: Parents will learn and practice techniques that focus on strengthening the parent-child relationship through play and positive reinforcement. * PDI Phase: Parents will be coached in effective discipline strategies to manage their child's behavioral problems.
