Assessing the Quality of Parent-Child Interaction in Shared Reading Using the IPCI

The purpose of the study was to determine whether shared reading would be a useful context for observing parent-child interaction with infants and toddlers. Data from the Indicator of Parent-Child Interaction Validity (IPCI) Study (Baggett, Hughes, & Carta) were used to examine how parent-child interaction during the shared reading used in the IPCI compared to three other contexts (a free play task, a dressing task, and a distraction task.).IPCI data were collected on 66 parent-child dyads over 6 measurement occasions in their homes.Results indicated that while parents were not more responsive in shared reading than in the other activities, they were less negative in this context. Children were rated as less reactive during shared reading. Generally, IPCI subscales scores were consistent over time; however, IPCI Child Reactivity subscale scores decreased over time. In conclusion, shared reading is a viable context for describing negative parent-child interaction.
