Does Caregiver Behaviour Mediate the Relationship Between Cultural Individualism and Infant Pain at 12 Months of Age?

The study aimed to understand the relationship between caregiver culture and infant pain expression at the 12-month immunization and discern if a mechanism subsuming this relationship was the quality of caregiver behaviours (emotional availability). Infants (N = 393) with immunization data at 12 months of age were examined. Based on the Development of Infant Acute Pain Responding Model (DIAPR Model), a mediation model was developed to examine how caregiver behaviours mediate the relationship between caregiver heritage culture and infant pain.
