Summary: This study investigated the emotional bonds between caregivers and foster infants, and how these were meant and enabled in a foster care institution. An exploratory study was conducted, following the interactions of three babies (age: 4-13 months). Video recordings were weekly made, along three months, in addition to interviews and field diaries. Observational categories were quantified. Results indicate low caregivers’ responsiveness to the infants’ expressions. Caregivers avoided physical contacts. Institutionalized guidelines (as “don´t pick-up the baby to not get attached”) circunscribed interactions. Strong emotional bonds were established with certain children. It was discussed how emotional socialization, caregivers’ responsiveness and the context organization are related to infant’s socio-affective development, the construction of bonds and the process of learning.

Utilizando videogravações semanais, por três meses, entrevistas e diários de campo, conduziu-se estudo exploratório, descritivo-qualitativo, em contexto naturalístico, acompanhando interações entre cuidadoras e 3 bebês (idade: 4 a 13 meses). Categorias observacionais foram quantificadas. Observou-se baixa responsividade às expressões dos bebês. Contatos físicos eram evitados pelas cuidadoras. Orientações institucionalizadas (como não pegue para não se apegar) mostraram-se significativos circunscritores das interações. Laços afetivos se estabeleceram apenas com determinadas crianças. Discutiu-se como a socialização emocional, a responsividade das cuidadoras e a organização do contexto relacionavam-se com o desenvolvimento socioafetivo, a construção de vínculos e os processos de aprendizagens.Instituto de Psicologia - Universidade de Brasília2022-11-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/revistaptp/article/view/3162710.1590/0102.3772e38322.pt Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 38 (2022)Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 38 (2022)Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 38 (2022)Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; v. 38 (2022)1806-34460102-3772reponame:Psicologia (Universidade de Brasília.
