This study was designed to examine the contribution of multiple risk factors to early internalizing problems and to investigate whether family and ecological context moderated the association between child temperament and internalizing outcomes. A sample of 1,202 mothers of 2- and 3-year-old children completed a survey of child social-emotional functioning, family environment, and violence exposure. Child temperament, maternal affective symptoms, and family expressiveness were associated with child anxiety and depression problems. Violence exposure was related only to child anxiety. When maternal affective symptoms were elevated, inhibited girls but not boys were rated as more anxious and youngsters with heightened negative emotionality were rated as more depressed. Family expressiveness moderated the association between inhibited temperament and anxiety symptoms.
本研究旨在考察多种风险因素对早期内化问题的贡献，并探讨家庭和生态环境是否调节了儿童气质与内化结果之间的关系。一项对 1202 名 2 至 3 岁儿童的母亲进行的调查，涵盖了儿童社会情感功能、家庭环境和暴力暴露等方面。儿童气质、母亲情感症状和家庭表达能力与儿童焦虑和抑郁问题有关。暴力暴露仅与儿童焦虑有关。当母亲的情感症状升高时，抑制型女孩而非男孩被评定为更焦虑，情绪反应强烈的儿童被评定为更抑郁。家庭表达能力调节了抑制气质与焦虑症状之间的关系。
