Evidence suggests that mothers are negative and critical when talking about their children with behaviour problems. However the association with specific types of behaviour problems and the influence of both child and adult psychopathology on these relationships require further clarification.
Speech samples were gathered from mothers of 100 school-aged boys and coded using standard Expressed Emotion (EE) categories. Levels of maternal and child psychopathology were ascertained using standardised questionnaires completed by the mother.
There were significant and positive correlations between criticism and child ADHD, conduct and emotional symptoms respectively. There were also significant and negative correlations between EOI and child ADHD and conduct problems.
The findings of the current study suggest that when considered together EE is driven more by the child rather than by maternal characteristics and these effects are specific to conduct and emotional problems. The implications of the findings are discussed.
有证据表明，母亲在谈论有行为问题的孩子时往往持负面和批评的态度。然而，与特定类型行为问题的关联以及儿童和成人精神病理学对这些关系的影响仍需进一步阐明。
收集了100名学龄男孩母亲的言语样本，并使用标准的表达性情绪（EE）类别进行编码。通过母亲填写的标准化问卷确定母亲和儿童的精神病理学水平。
批评与儿童多动症、品行问题和情绪症状之间分别存在显著的正相关。情感过度卷入（EOI）与儿童多动症和品行问题之间也存在显著的负相关。
本研究结果表明，综合来看，表达性情绪更多地是由孩子而非母亲的特征驱动的，并且这些影响特定于品行和情绪问题。文中讨论了这些发现的意义。
