Abstract: Early parent-child interaction affects children’s social development. Comprehensive observation of interaction behavior and interaction level is helpful to study the relationship between them more objectively. Based on the application of Coding Interactive Behavior (CIB) in the past nearly 15 years, it is found that early parent-child interaction affects children’s emotional socialization (empathy and emotion regulation) and behavioral socialization (prosocial behavior and internalization and externalization problem behavior). The interaction of biobehavioral synchronization, oxytocin, and attachment related brain networks may be the neurobiological mechanism of this effect, which is modulated by childhood factors, family factors, and environmental factors. Future research should focus on the potential direction and influence range of early parent-child interaction and children’s social development, enrich the research evidence of neurophysiological mechanism, and explore “retrospective” longitudinal research methods to make up for the shortcomings of existing horizontal and longitudinal studies.

Key words: parent-child interaction, children’s social development, coding interactive behavior (CIB), observational evaluation
