The current study examines homotypic stability in mother-child interactions, applying similar rating scales of mother-child interactions at 1 and 4.5 years, and heterotypic stability from 1 to 13 years and 4.5 to 13 years, using conceptually similar but not identical rating scales at age 13. DESIGN: We coded videotaped mother-child interactions in 202 families when children were 1, 4.5, and 13 years of age during age-appropriate and developmentally salient structured tasks for relationship quality. RESULTS: Multiple regression analyses controlled for the effects of child birth order and gender as well as maternal age and education. Maternal and dyadic, but not child, mother-child interaction qualities at 1 year significantly predicted similar or equivalent constructs at 4.5 and 13 years. Heterotypic stability from 1 to 13 years was partially or fully mediated by the same constructs at 4.5 years. CONCLUSIONS: Maternal behaviors showed a pattern of homotypic and heterotypic stability, whereas dyadic behaviors were somewhat less stable. Child behaviors showed evidence of both homotypic and heterotypic instability.
本研究考察母婴互动中的同型稳定性，应用1岁和4.5岁时相似的母婴互动评定量表，并考察1至13岁以及4.5至13岁之间的异型稳定性，在13岁时使用概念相似但不完全相同的评定量表。设计：我们对202个家庭中孩子在1岁、4.5岁和13岁时的母婴互动录像进行编码，这些互动是在适合年龄且对关系质量具有发展意义的结构化任务中进行的。结果：多元回归分析控制了孩子出生顺序、性别以及母亲年龄和教育程度的影响。1岁时的母亲及二元互动质量（而非孩子的互动质量）能显著预测4.5岁和13岁时相似或等同的结构。从1至13岁的异型稳定性部分或完全由4.5岁时相同的结构介导。结论：母亲行为呈现出同型和异型稳定性模式，而二元行为稳定性稍低。孩子行为表现出同型和异型不稳定的证据。
