The current longitudinal study examined trajectories of child negative emotionality, parenting efficacy, and overreactive parenting among 382 adoptive families during infancy and toddlerhood. Data were collected from adoptive parents when the children were 9-, 18-, and 27-month-old. Latent growth curve modeling indicated age-related increases in child negative emotionality and overreactive parenting for adoptive fathers and adoptive mothers (AM), and decreases in parent efficacy among AM. Increases in child negative emotionality were also associated with increases in parent overreactivity and decreases in maternal efficacy. Mothers' and fathers' developmental patterns were linked within but not across parenting domains. Limitations and directions for future research are discussed.
本纵向研究调查了 382 个领养家庭在婴儿期和幼儿期期间儿童负性情绪、养育效能感和过度反应性养育的轨迹。研究数据是在孩子 9 个月、18 个月和 27 个月大时由领养父母收集的。潜在增长曲线模型表明,领养父亲和母亲的儿童负性情绪和过度反应性养育随着年龄的增长而增加,而母亲的养育效能感则随着年龄的增长而下降。儿童负性情绪的增加也与父母过度反应的增加和母亲效能感的下降有关。母亲和父亲的发展模式在养育领域内有关联,但在领域间没有关联。讨论了研究的局限性和未来研究的方向。
