A fundamental question in the discipline of developmental psychopathology is whether early interpersonal experiences influence maladaptation in enduring or transient ways. We address this issue by applying a structural modeling approach developed by us to examine data from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development on maternal sensitivity in the first 3 years of life and its association with symptoms of psychopathology through age 15. Results suggest that there may be enduring effects of early caregiving experiences on symptomatology as rated by teachers, although such effects were not found for maternal report. Additional analyses indicated that enduring associations found via teacher report could not be fully accounted for by continuity in caregiving experiences or by early contextual adversity.
发展心理病理学领域的一个基本问题是，早期的人际经历是否会以持久或短暂的方式影响适应不良。我们通过应用我们开发的结构建模方法来解决这个问题，该方法旨在检查国家儿童健康与人类发展研究所关于儿童早期保育和青年发展的数据，研究生命的头 3 年中母亲的敏感性及其与 15 岁前精神病理学症状的关系。结果表明，早期育儿经历可能对教师评估的症状有持久影响，尽管在母亲报告中没有发现这种影响。进一步的分析表明，通过教师报告发现的持久关联不能完全用育儿经历的连续性或早期的环境逆境来解释。
