PIIS
The PIIS is an observational coding system designed to assess the quality and reciprocity of parent-infant interaction during naturally occurring or semi-structured contexts. Developed by Summers et al. (2001) in the context of early intervention research, it captures dimensions of parental sensitivity, responsiveness, and infant engagement. The PIIS is primarily used in research examining attachment quality, intervention effectiveness, and developmental trajectories in infants at risk for developmental delay or social-emotional difficulties.
