A community sample of 262 European American mothers of firstborn 20-month-olds completed a personality inventory and measures of parenting cognitions (knowledge, self-perceptions, and reports about behavior) and was observed in interaction with their children from which measures of parenting practices (language, sensitivity, affection, and play) were independently coded. Factor analyses of the personality inventory replicated extraction of the 5-factor model of personality (Openness, Neuroticism, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness). When controlling for sociodemographic characteristics, the 5 personality factors qua variables and in patterns qua clusters related differently to diverse parenting cognitions and practices, supporting the multidimensional, modular, and specific nature of parenting. Maternal personality in the normal range, a theoretically important but empirically neglected factor in everyday parenting, has meaning in studies of parenting, child development, and family process.
一项针对 262 名欧洲裔美国母亲的社区样本研究,这些母亲的孩子是 20 个月大的初生子。她们完成了一份人格问卷,以及关于育儿认知(知识、自我认知和行为报告)的测量,并在与孩子的互动中被观察,从中独立编码了育儿实践(语言、敏感性、情感和游戏)的测量。人格问卷的因子分析复制了人格的 5 因素模型(开放性、神经质、外向性、宜人性和尽责性)的提取。当控制社会人口统计学特征时,人格的 5 个因素作为变量,以及作为聚类的模式,与不同的育儿认知和实践有不同的关系,这支持了育儿的多维、模块化和特异性。母亲在正常范围内的个性,是日常育儿中一个理论上重要但经验上被忽视的因素,在育儿、儿童发展和家庭过程的研究中有意义。
