AMBIANCE Training Workshops

1 AMBIANCE Training Workshops Trainers: Elisa Bronfman, Ph.D., Karlen Lyons-Ruth, Ph.D, & Sheri Madigan, Ph.D. Training Dates: September 2-4 th, 2013 Location: Milan, Italy Please contact for further inquires and/or to express interest in attending the training workshop. Objectives of the workshop: (1) To review the development and conceptual framework of the AMBIANCE coding system; (2) To review and discuss a series of training tapes and learn the methodology for coding the varied dimensions of disrupted parent-infant communication; (3) To review the new rating scales for the subtypes of disrupted communication. A maximum of trainees can be accommodated. Reduced rates are available for those who have attended a previous training. Coding homework will be provided on the second afternoon of the three-day workshop. Fee for attending workshop: $1800/person (in US dollars) for the 3-day workshop and all associated consultation on coding and reliability computations. This includes 20 training tapes on DVD s as well as accompanying training transcripts, follow-up phone and/or consultation around coding issues and computation of reliabilities. One copy of the 20 reliability tapes on DVD will be provided to each person/lab. Reduced Fee for laboratory group for processing reliability work: For labs who will be pursuing full coding reliability as a group, the reduced fees are $1400 per person plus a $500 per laboratory fee. Fee for attending as an observer only, without proceeding to reliability training: $1400 if space available. Brief Description of the AMBIANCE measure: The AMBIANCE measure was developed in 1991 in Dr. Lyons-Ruth s research laboratory to assess caregiver behavior associated with disorganization of infant attachment strategies and later child maladaptation. A recent meta-analysis by Madigan, Bakermans-Kranenburg et al. (2006) demonstrated that the AMBIANCE coding system has good reliability, validity, and stability over time. A bibliography of studies using the AMBIANCE measure is included below. Articles can be downloaded from the website at
