This study examined whether children's difficulties with stage-salient tasks served as an explanatory mechanism in the pathway between their insecurity in the interparental relationship and their disruptive behavior problems. Using a multimethod, multi-informant design, 201 two-year-old children and their mothers participated in 3 annual measurement occasions. Structural equation modeling analyses indicated that coder ratings of children's insecure responses to interparental conflict from a maternal interview predicted observer ratings of their difficulties with stage-salient tasks (i.e., emotion regulation, autonomy, resourceful problem solving) 1 year later after controlling for initial stage-salient task performance. Stage-salient task difficulties, in turn, predicted experimenter reports of children's behavior problems 1 year later. Associations remained robust in the broader context of other pathways hypothesized in prevailing developmental cascade models.
本研究考察了儿童在阶段性突出任务上的困难是否作为一个解释机制,存在于他们在亲子关系中的不安全感与他们的破坏性行为问题之间的关系中。本研究采用多方法、多信息源设计,有 201 名两岁儿童及其母亲参与了 3 次年度测量。结构方程模型分析表明,母亲访谈中对儿童对父母冲突的不安全感反应的编码者评分,在控制初始阶段突出任务表现后,预测了观察者对儿童在情绪调节、自主性、灵活解决问题等方面的突出任务困难的评分,一年后。反过来,突出任务的困难又预测了一年后实验者对儿童行为问题的报告。在流行的发展级联模型中假设的其他途径的更广泛背景下,关联仍然是稳健的。
