This study investigated the maternal concerns and emotions that may regulate one form of sensitive parenting, support for children's immediate desires or intentions. While reviewing a videotape of interactions with their 1-year-olds, mothers who varied on depressive symptoms reported concerns and emotions they had during the interaction. Emotions reflected outcomes either to children (child-oriented concerns) or to mothers themselves (parent-oriented concerns). Child-oriented concerns were associated with fewer negative emotions and more supportive behavior. Supportive parenting was high among mothers who experienced high joy and worry and low anger, sadness, and guilt. However, relations depended on whether emotions were child or parent oriented: Supportive behavior occurred more when emotions were child oriented. In addition, as depressive symptoms increased, mothers reported fewer child-oriented concerns, fewer child-oriented positive emotions, and more parent-oriented negative emotions. They also displayed less supportive behavior. Findings suggest that support for children's immediate intentions may be regulated by parents' concerns, immediate emotions, and depressive symptoms.
本研究调查了可能调节一种敏感性育儿方式的母亲担忧和情绪，即对孩子即时愿望或意图的支持。在观看与她们1岁孩子互动的录像带时，抑郁症状不同的母亲报告了她们在互动过程中的担忧和情绪。情绪反映的结果要么针对孩子（以孩子为导向的担忧），要么针对母亲自身（以父母为导向的担忧）。以孩子为导向的担忧与较少的负面情绪和更多的支持行为相关。在体验到高度喜悦和担忧且愤怒、悲伤和内疚程度较低的母亲中，支持性育儿水平较高。然而，这种关系取决于情绪是以孩子为导向还是以父母为导向：当情绪以孩子为导向时，支持行为出现得更多。此外，随着抑郁症状的增加，母亲报告的以孩子为导向的担忧、以孩子为导向的积极情绪减少，以父母为导向的负面情绪增加。她们也表现出较少的支持行为。研究结果表明，对孩子即时意图的支持可能受到父母的担忧、即时情绪和抑郁症状的调节。
