Assessments were conducted at 4\u2009months (\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009130) and 8\u2009months postpartum (\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009108). Maternal sleep (i.e., sleep percent, minutes and variability) was measured over seven nights using actigraphy and sleep diaries. Questionnaires captured socio\u2010demographic information, feeding methods, social support and maternal depressive symptoms. At the 8\u2010month assessment, a 20\u2010min free\u2010play interaction between mother and infant was video recorded and later maternal sensitivity was coded using the Emotional Availability Scales (EAS). The findings showed no significant Pearson correlations between maternal sleep and maternal sensitivity when controlling for infant feeding methods. A series of two\u2010step hierarchical multiple regression models was used to examine depression and social support as moderators of the links between maternal sleep and maternal sensitivity. While depressive symptoms did not moderate these relationships, social support did. Specifically, higher actigraphic and reported sleep variability (i.e., less stable sleep) was associated with lower maternal sensitivity during play interactions, but only among mothers with high levels of social support. Evidence emerged for both concurrent and prospective links. The results suggest that maternal sleep is associated with sensitivity only in mothers with high social support. Possible explanations for this unexpected finding are discussed. Moreover, in this group, sleep variability is more strongly linked to maternal sensitivity than other sleep characteristics, highlighting the importance of sleep stability.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jsr.70056","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,3]],"date-time":"2025-04-03T21:21:50Z","timestamp":1743715310000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A Longitudinal Study of Postpartum Maternal Sleep and Sensitivity: Examining Depressive Symptoms and Social Support as Moderators"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Dar","family":"Ran\u2010Peled","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology Ben\u2010Gurion University of the Negev  Beer\u2010Sheva Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Avel","family":"Horwitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology Ben\u2010Gurion University of the Negev  Beer\u2010Sheva Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Omer","family":"Finkelstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology Ben\u2010Gurion University of the Negev  Beer\u2010Sheva Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naama","family":"Atzaba\u2010Poria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology Ben\u2010Gurion University of the Negev  Beer\u2010Sheva Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7569-9392","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liat","family":"Tikotzky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology Ben\u2010Gurion University of the Negev  Beer\u2010Sheva Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/sleep\/28.12.1568"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","volume-title":"Multiple Regression: Testing and Interpreting Interactions","author":"Aiken L.
