Research Abstract

This study examined infant-directed behavior and speech characteristics of unmarried young people. Elementary school children's infant-directed speech was characterized by significantly higher frequency sounds in comparison to adult-directed speech and it included stimulated calls for infant's attention. However, participants seldom spoke to the infant. In addition, female university students' interactions with babies (behavior, words, and speech) depend on their past experiences.
