    Children's storybooks as a source of mental state references: Comparison between books from Chile, Colombia, Scotland and USA
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2020) Farkas, Chamarrita; Pia Santelices, Maria; Vallotton, Claire D.; Brophy Herb, Holly E.; Iglesias, Manuela; Sieverson, Catalina; del Pilar Cuellar, Maria; Alvarez, Carolina
    Children's storybooks may be considered as an important resource for young children to learn about different mental states (emotions, desires, cognitions); however, mental states represented in stories vary, and may vary across cultures. This study investigates preschoolers' storybooks from Chile, Colombia, Scotland, and the USA to test similarities and differences in rates and types of mental references. The texts in 160 children's storybooks (40 per country) were coded. Results showed similarities between countries in the references to desires, psychological states, and physical expressions. Differences between countries were observed, where Chilean books contained more references to cognitions, mood states, and causal talk compared with USA books, and more references to emotions and causal talk compared with Scottish books. Also, Colombian books had more references to emotions and causal talk compared with Scotland and USA books, and more references to physiological states compared with Chilean and Scottish books. Finally, USA books contained more references to perceptions in comparison to Colombian and Scottish books. Similarities were identified between Chilean and Colombian books, and between Scotland and USA books, and more differences between South American books (Chile, Colombia) and those from Scotland and the USA.

    The impact of COVID-19 on experiences of pregnancy and/or early parenting in Chile
    (WILEY, 2021) Olhaberry, Marcia; Sieverson, Catalina; Franco, Pamela; Romero, Macarena; Tagle, Trinidad; Iribarren, Daniela; Honorato, Carolina; Muzard, Antonia
    The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has impacted families' mental health around the globe. In June 2020, 1163 parents of high (43%), middle (47%), and low socioeconomic status (SES) (10%) participated in an online survey developed to explore how daily life changes and restrictions that came with COVID-19 affected the experiences of pregnancy and/or parenting children under the age of 5 in Chile. The survey's design had an exploratory and descriptive scope, with a mix of qualitative and quantitative questions. With the aim of exploring differences before and after COVID-19, two time periods were established, and the 47-item questionnaire covered participants' sociodemographic information, support networks, health concerns, mood changes, self-regulation, adult and children's perceived well-being, parental competencies and parents' perceptions of the unborn baby and/or their children's needs. The results relative to retrospective reporting of pre-pandemic levels, showed an increase in children's crying and tantrums as well as in parental irritability and sadness. Additionally, decreases in the ability to calm down and sleep quality in both parents and children were identified. Finally, at a qualitative level, COVID-19 stands out both as an opportunity to get to know their children better and as a stressor related to parental burn-out and discomfort.
